Donald Trump
I’m not sure that Donald Trump can say anything that will “bring the country” together when he makes his presidential inauguration speech Friday. Mr. Trump ran such a divisive, hateful campaign — and has so thoroughly botched his “transition” time since his November election — that it likely is beyond his ability to craft and…

Holy cow, Hillary! Here we are — several weeks removed from your loss to Donald Trump in the presidential election — and just a few days away from Mr. Trump’s inaugural address — and we’re still talking about you. At least, the New York Times and the New York Post are. They both are suggesting…

Thanksgiving was a grand and glorious occasion when I was growing up in Fresno more than a half-century ago. From the time I was in kindergarten at Fremont Elementary to the time I arrived at Fresno High, my mom and dad always had “the grandmas” and my Uncle Jerry over to our home for a…

Less than one week after Donald Trump’s stunning election as our 45th president, several things have become crystal-clear — unfortunately. One of them is that no matter what Trump has said or done since his election, those who opposed him will continue their opposition in ways that, frankly, seem mindless. Let’s start with what Trump’s…
