A private corporation funded by the American people. pwtqKxI49rU There is so much that is so awful that I just have grieving fatigue - but this one really, really hurts. We grew up together, after all - nearly constant companions across the ages of my life. One of the best things we ever did and I ...

Re: Shame on Boston.
Shame on Boston. You should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing a crowd of privileged, liberal brats, most likely white liberal kids, from well-to-do families to roam the streets harassing elderly people for thrills. These spoiled young liberals have too much money and not enough purpose. Where d...

Re: Israel at War
If Hamas survives as an organization, they will continue to kill Jews. In response, the Israelis will continue to try to destroy Hamas. Hamas, in turn, will continue to use the people of Gaza as human shields and starve babies for propaganda. They said the same about Fatah and the PLO, and now they...

Just Shot Jeopardy in the Head
Why doesn’t someone take poor old Jeppie out back and shoot it in the head and end its suffering. It’s clearly in misery. There was a time when Jeopardy! challenged viewers with academic questions: history, science, mathematics. It was a show where you could test your knowledge, learn something new,...

it’s generally unwise to go out of your way to antagonize half — or perhaps more than half — of your potential market..... ......Dismissing a large segment of the public that holds sincere concerns is not only unfair, it’s bad business.

CBS and NBC and bad business
It seems CBS and NBC recently canceled their late-night talk shows — one hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the other by Stephen Colbert. There’s a lesson to be learned from this: in business, it’s generally unwise to go out of your way to antagonize half — or perhaps more than half — of your potential market....

Re: Israel at War
Mr. Liberty your remind me of our own nation's war of extermination, when the leadership agreed that 'the only good indian is a dead indian'. You speak of Hamas as if the IDF was checking id cards or something to find Hamas. Meanwhile the commanders of the IDF, right up to the top civilian, are act...

Re: New York City mayoral candidate Mamdani
One idea that does seem to have potential is the concept of a city-owned grocery store. For it to truly serve the people, it would need to operate on a very low margin—perhaps as low as 0.5%—and focus heavily on sourcing food from local farms, dairies, and ranches. Costs could be further reduced by...

New York City mayoral candidate Mamdani
If the New York City mayoral candidate Mamdani turns out to be a communist, an ideology historically associated with regimes that have committed mass murder, then he could be seen as an enemy to all freedom-loving and decent people. That said, some of his ideas may not be entirely without merit. The...
