By John Young T his is not about Alito, or Kavanaugh, or Gorsuch, or the Federalist Society, our now de facto judicial branch. This is about Olivia. She’s 16. A beauty. A waitress. She met a guy. Dreamy. Twenty-two. Great car. Said he loved her. Then an EPT changed his tune. He lost that loving feel...

Young-At-Large by John Young If this is “woke,” bring it. Add my voice to those calling on the NCAA to stick it to states that marginalize transgender individuals. That could mean pulling tournaments based on the NCAA Board of Governor’s April 12 statement that “firmly and unequivocally supports the...

I’m waiting for my apology from Newsmax. Last week it apologized to Eric Coomer, director of security for Dominion Voting Systems, for spreading Republican lies about the 2020 election. It apologized for “any harm that our reporting” caused to Coomer and his family. They had received death threats g...

Young-At-Large by John Young Wanted: a new location for the Major League All-Star Game. Qualifications: (1) must love baseball; (2) must show fidelity to self-government, meaning opposition to chicanery that makes it harder for poor people to vote. Georgia, you’re out, says Commissioner Rob Manfred....

Sign me up; pump me up – that sweet, biotech nectar. Anyone uneasy with it, step aside. As my wife has remarked, oh, 10,000 times over the last nine quarantined months, the fact that many won’t take the shot for COVID-19 means a vaccine sooner for us so that our family can be one again. With the app...

This is not fake news. Donald Trump does not run the country. You say he never did. You say the Constitution does. Ah, but he was prepared to show you differently. When he was impeached, Republicans in the U.S. Senate told him he could. All but one of them barely flexed an eyebrow over his illegal a...

Back in September when a report emerged about a shakedown of Ukraine that got him impeached in December, I asked supporters of Donald Trump: “Did the man you helped elect sound like someone who asked the president of a foreign country to investigate the son of a political opponent? “Ah, hah, you nod...

What do my pet store and the great-grandson of Theodore Roosevelt have in common? Quite a bit, actually. First, my pet store. It’s a big chain – no surprise – and therefore nothing unusual. However, its devotion to people’s safety is remarkable – so much that it offers a 10 percent discount to get g...

I t was a small misunderstanding.   A little thing, really. The two men were prone on the ground face-first, fearing for their lives. A man with two Glocks and the tactical vest had ’em there. He was sure they were antifa. Leave it to the media to make a big thing out of this: the fact that they wer...

Accentuate the positive. Donald Trump had peaceful protesters gassed, had them flash-banged and chased by mounted park rangers, to clear his path for a two-bit photo-op. But at least he didn’t take a golf cart. He didn’t have his coterie of sycophants lay palm fronds before him. He didn’t ride the P...
