There’s an age-old concept – in crisis, opportunity – that should be deployed as President Joe Biden winds down his administration by signing off on pardons, commutations and other acts of clemency. By now, you must have heard the cacophony of controversy after Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden on Sunday, giving him a get-out-of-jail-free…
Dr. John Whyte Prescription weight loss drugs, known as GLP-1s, are sweeping the country. The drugs, which include blockbuster medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, have helped millions of Americans quickly shed excess pounds. About 1 in 8 U.S. adults say they’ve taken one. But as a doctor, I must caution that these drugs might not be the miracle they…
Today I am calling on President Joe Biden to do the right thing for America and formally cancel this year’s Thanksgiving. In the wake of the presidential election, the last thing any of us need to be doing is walking into potentially volatile mixed-ideology settings that often feature alcohol, long-standing feelings of familial resentment and…
One of the ideas I liked the most from Donald Trump on the campaign trail was his proposal to harness the expertise and gift for innovation of billionaire businessman Elon Musk if he were to get elected. It looks like Trump will follow through on his promise to have Musk, who leads Tesla and SpaceX…
Donald Trump, despite who he is, has won the 2024 presidential election and will retake the White House for a second term. Trump’s win became official early Wednesday morning after media outlets called Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, giving him enough Electoral College votes for the White House. Republicans made every mistake they could along the way…
Mark Cuban might make a good president someday, but he hasn’t ventured far into politics. At least, until this year. The part owner of the NBA Dallas Mavericks and a “Shark Tank” investor isn’t exactly a Republican. But I’ve interviewed him several times since 2015, and I’ve never seen him until now campaign hard for…
For as long as I’ve been covering politics, I’ve been writing about why I cannot vote for Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris for president. While I’ve endlessly explained why, I haven’t written as much about why I believe a write-in candidate is the right answer to such a hopeless election. My write-in vote…
The first and only debate between the vice presidential nominees, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was the first chance for Americans to hear both discuss the differences between their campaigns. It also showed the difference between Vance and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Unlike the debates between the former president and Vice…
For most of U.S. history, presidents since George Washington have been unwavering in the use of their clemency power. They understood their actions not only as a way to remedy overly harsh sentences but also to help restore public faith in the justice system. President Joe Biden now has a chance to use his clemency…
Given all the uproar over GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s baseless, utterly false and profoundly racist claims that Haitian immigrants are eating people’s pets in an Ohio town, I would likely to make a public statement that is supported by an equal amount of evidence: “Not long ago, billionaire Elon Musk ate my cat, Mr….
