Former President Obama said he felt "serenity" during President Trump's inauguration. During an interview with Prince Harry, Obama said the first thing he thought during Trump's inauguration was how thankful he was that former first lady Michelle Obama had been his "partner through that whole process." There was a "satisfying feeling that was mixed with all the work that was still undone," he said. "But over all, there was serenity there," he said.

If abortion is murder, then women who have them are criminals—right?

Seinfeld was a television marvel. Perhaps the most successful situation comedy series of all time, it ran from 1989 to 1998, and has become an omnipresent aspect of our lives as it continually runs in syndication and lives on in best-selling DVD box sets, making fortunes in the hundred millions for both of its co-creators. But there is yet another facet of Seinfeld at which we can marvel: the cast of characters on the show weirdly foreshadowed the rise to prominence of a large component of the dominant urban liberal wing of the Democratic Party. With a nod to Brian...

SAN FRANCISCO -- A tennis pro, self-styled master natural healer and crystal therapist was charged Monday with trying to run down and kill four bicyclists last week in San Francisco. David Mark Clark, 39, of Albany was arrested Friday after he went to Albany police to report that his Nissan Rogue crossover sport utility vehicle had been taken at gunpoint. The Rogue was abandoned at 17th and Missouri streets Wednesday night after the hit-and-run driver struck his fourth victim and crashed the vehicle. Clark, who has no criminal record, was charged Monday in San Francisco Superior Court with four counts...

I am not a glutton for punishment. I watch portions of Free Speech TV's Democracy Now! because it's a part of my daily employment duties. You know, make sure it properly airs so the local libs don't go off in a conspiracy theory tirade. They know I work where I work, and are always suspicious I may be up to some funny business. But as a Black man, I am also disgusted on an almost daily basis by the parade of Black victims trotted out by hostess Amy Goodman. It's as if she considers herself this Great White Hope; the...

Michael Richards exploded in anger as he performed at a famous L.A. comedy club last Friday, hurling racial epithets that left the crowd gasping, and TMZ has obtained exclusive video of the ugly incident.

History has not dealt kindly with imperial ambitions, and America, however benevolent her intent, cannot hope to be an exception. Something remarkable happened on the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Commentators began to declare, in somewhat exultant tones, that America had at last become a true empire. America was of course also a benevolent empire, they insisted, but that nod to altruistic tradition could not hide their excitement that America had at last joined the greatest empires of the past. Implicit in these giddy declarations was the assumption that empire was an exalted state of power and...

Last afternoon I fell off a stool while trying to remove a light fixture. It was no big deal -- no harm done, but a fair amount of blood which splattered all over the house. It took me about an hour to get it cleaned up. The dog helped. The main problem was that I had no single organized first-aid kit, so I had to hunt around for things. I want to cure that. I want at least one for the house and one for the car. The question this time is: what should go into a first-aid kit? Band-aids...
