We all need a break from politics. It’s everywhere. It’s on television. It’s on social media. It’s at work and at restaurants and it shows up at dinner with family when that one relative — we all have one — just won’t stop bringing it up no matter what. Politics...

Lori Falce pulls no punches in “Vaping defense is up in smoke.” The mother of all truth-bombs was “These aren’t grown-up decisions.” This blows up any progressive argument in favor of lowering the voting age to 16; children should not vote. Child-like citizens of voting age get addicted to the...

I’d like to add my opinion to the suggestions on how to rebuild the Pirates. The GM and all the coaching staff should go! Josh Bell should bring interest from an American League team as a DH. He is too clumsy and slow as a position player. The following players...

As my regular readers know, I am a certified heretic in my field: child and family psychology. To the point, I am convinced that psychological parenting theory, which began to inform American child rearing in the late 1960s, has caused more problems than psychologists know how to solve. I came...
