EASTSIDER--Talk about pushback from the Iowa caucus. My goodness, the ever so supercilious wringing of hands of the same corporate media like CNN and NBC who brought us the debacle of the Democratic debates even as they & the DNC screwed the pooch in debate format, debate questions, and insipid commentary. 

GUEST COMMENTARY--Years from now, there will be a moment that you remember from the impeachment of Donald J. Trump. What will it be?

AMERICAN CRISIS-This is a make or break year for many migrants seeking to improve their families’ financial conditions. They say they’re being persecuted in their homeland, yet they fear being vilified for crossing the border. What to do? 

OTHER WORDS-President Trump is on trial. As in a real trial, charges have been asserted: The House alleges high crimes and misdemeanors. A judge presides: Chief Justice John Roberts sits in his fine black robe at the head of the chamber.

WORLD WATCH-Recently, I met with a group of officials from different countries who came to the US to learn about our political system and the decision-making process regarding US foreign policy under the Trump administration.

VIEW FROM HERE-By painstakingly outlining the architecture of the Ukraine scheme, the impeachment managers successfully described how Trump put self-interest ahead of the nation's priorities.
