The following is by Michal Goodwin in the NY Post: It’s the butt of jokes and has been called a “Magical Mis ery Tour,” but President Obama has scored a neat trick with his Midwest bus trip. When he gets home, he can boast to the first lady: Honey, I shrunk the presidency. That’s not what he [...]

[Rabbi William Handler] Congressional candidate David Weprin labels himself a “Modern Orthodox” Jew. But, is his Jewish religion really an important priority in his life? Does he really respect Jewish values? And is he prepared to sacrifice anything at all to defend those values? Probably not! When push comes to shove, when there is a conflict between [...]

Since I was eligible to vote, I have never voted for a democrat in a general election.  I am a blue blood conservative republican.  In 2010, I ran as the republican and conservative candidate for the 6th Congressional District of New York.  My law firm is the counsel to the Kings County Republican Party.  Indeed, [...]
