    Cal Thomas: New York: No longer a ‘Fun City’

    New York was once known as "Fun City." It is rapidly becoming gloomy and, as it was in the 1970s, an increasingly dangerous place to visit and live.

    Leonard Pitts Jr.: Dear white conservatives:

    When Martin Luther King stood at the temple of Lincoln in 1963 and declared his dream “that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” he surely spoke a word for the ages.

    Mark Isaacson: Time’s up for Central Maine Power

    CMP’s unreliability and poor response to its all too frequent outages, its hopeless billing system, its terrible customer service, and its plodding approach to solar deployment are all enormously frustrating. Whether they constitute sufficient cause for unwinding the company's exclusive franchise may be debatable. However, its totally predictable and insufficient response to the challenge of beneficial electrification constitutes far more than adequate cause to replace its monopoly. It’s a necessity.

    To avoid an unlikely harm — unvaccinated kids getting a serious case of COVID — the schools wanted to impose an almost-guaranteed harm by excluding thousands of students from the classroom, kneecapping their education. At best, this is playing chicken with the well-being of children; at worst, it is thoughtless and cruel policy in stubborn pursuit of the goal of substituting the judgment of public school mandarins for parents.

    Leonard Pitts Jr.: He was the only one we had

    In his years of greatest impact — the late ’50s through the 1960s — Poitier required the movie-going world to see Black people. In those years, the Miami-born Bahamian actor was a doctor, a teacher and a soldier, a cop, a convict and a warmhearted handyman.
