It’s fun in politics to come across something clever once used against your situation that you can now use against the other side. I wish I could take credit for that “very still” gem, but it comes from an 1896 letter written by a leading Democrat of that day, New York Governor David B Hill,…

Beyond who will be the next president of the United States, members of Congress, county and local elected officials, the statewide ballot question seeking to expand legalized gaming to North Jersey is the most important consideration on your ballot.

More than 200,000 balloons were dropped the last two weeks in Philadelphia and Cleveland. Former President Bill Clinton seemed to really enjoy them at the Democratic Convention. But the balloons are really just a starting point.

Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton, the race for who will become the 45th president of the United States, is now less than 100 days away.

Girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice, except Hillary, who’s also got a bit of titanium and a mind like a diamond-tipped drill.

Richard Tolson of Ocean City hopes to see Bernie Sanders supporters line up behind Hillary Clinton this week, which will be one of the goals of the Democratic National Convention that kicked off in Philadelphia on July 25.

It took about 12 weeks from the day Hitler declared war on the United States until German submarines sank the R.S. Resor, their first oil tanker, off the coast of South Jersey. From then until May 14, 1945 when U-858 surrendered and was escorted into Cape May there were frequent U-boat night…

The know-it-alls never saw it coming. The citizens of the United Kingdom have voted to exit the European Union by a margin of 52-48 percent.

With Democratic lawmakers sitting in at the Capitol over gun control, it seems that South Jersey Republican U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo’s office has been swamped with calls on the issue.

It must drive foreigners nuts trying to figure us out. I watched the funeral service for Muhammed Ali, born an obscure black kid with a slave’s name in Louisville, Kentucky and growing up as American as they come, bright-eyed and sure-footed and unafraid of men, governments or religions; an …

One of the things everybody loves about Winston Churchill is his reputation for a fast and deadly wit. There are books filled with accounts of his lightning comebacks, as for example when Lady Astor told him if she were his husband she would poison his coffee, to which he said “Madame, if I …
