As a state, we have been blessed with leaders whose careful stewardship has protected our financial future. Now it’s time to embrace an equally critical virtue — compassionate care of one another.

Today almost half of Haiti’s population is struggling to find food, clean living conditions and a sense of hope amid yet another period of chaos. The Biden administration, already struggling with other foreign and domestic crises in Gaza, Ukraine and this country’s southern border, shows little appetite to become deeply immersed in perennially troubled Haiti.

“The Black Box,” along with the writings of Thomas Sowell, ought to be mandatory reading in every high school and American University, in large part to make up for the suppressed writings of talented and intelligent Black people of the past.

The Key Bridge has closed the narrow passage connecting Baltimore’s harbor to Chesapeake Bay. A terror attack could have happened. Deepwater Horizon was an accident — but terrorists can attack offshore platforms. Mexican cartels have seized Mexican oil platforms, for ransom.

She didn’t even bother denying that she knew that the stolen election business was baloney from the start.

Trump doesn’t have enough money to pay what he owes.
