I would like to help.

Trump’s Fight With Corker Jeopardizes His Legislative Agenda

The heated exchange between President Trump and Senator Bob Corker is coming just as Mr. Trump needs virtually every Republican vote in the Senate for his tax cuts.

Infighting in  the Republican party is good news for the country and the world.

More of fighting the wrong war.

Y.A. Tittle, Quarterback Who Led Giants to 3 Title Games, Dies at 90

Tittle endeared himself to New York not as a golden boy but as a muddied, grass-stained scrapper who had been discarded by the 49ers as too slow and too old.

Finally enough.

Trump Is Going to Make a Huge Mistake on the Iran Deal

The president and the Republican-controlled Congress are not only playing with fire. They are lighting it themselves.

Iran has been being good.
They like trade.
They do not need trade desperately.

Mr. Trump is putting on a sideshow to take attention away from his failures.

That too.

Tittle endeared himself to New York not as a golden boy but as a muddied, grass-stained scrapper who had been discarded by the 49ers as too slow and too old.

He probably did not suffer from Traumatic Encephalopathy Syndrome.

Business Day

Wall Street Firms Gambled on Puerto Rico. They’re Losing.

Investors in real estate racked up big financial losses. Some are lobbying for federal aid that would help Puerto Rico — and their bottom lines.

I will shed no tears for the badly insured.
I have no knowledge of the details of the disaster.

Stephen Miller, the Powerful Survivor on the President’s Right Flank

Mr. Miller, who was a conservative trapped in a liberal California high school, has rocketed to the upper reaches of White House influence, especially on immigration.

The war continues.

After Las Vegas Shooting, a Tight-Lipped Sheriff Faces a Maddening Case

Joseph Lombardo, the head of the Las Vegas police, must grapple with finding the motive for a horrific mass shooting while keeping the public calm and reporters at bay.

Nothing prevents guessing.

Columbus Day Has Drawn Protests Almost From Day 1

Disagreements over whether to celebrate Christopher Columbus, who helped open the door to European colonialism, have raged for decades.

Slaves, gold and heathens to convert to the true faith.

Isabella and Ferdinand got a good return on the investment.

I am happy to be a citizen and a resident.
