More JFK files were released. I thought we’d get more about Marilyn. Maybe we’ll find something that will let us know about when LBJ was being sworn in as the 36th president after the assassination — this was when he stood next to Jackie, who was still in a dress with her husband’s blood on it — the iconic photo shows Johnson turning toward lifelong friend and Congressman Albert Thomas while smiling.

Stupid PeopleThe problem with stupid people is that they’re too stupid to know how stupid they are. Example: Donald Trump. Benjamin Netanyahu saw a useful fool in Trump from a mile away when he first engaged with Trump, and he knew...
Do the MathRegarding “LaLota Votes for Spending Compromise That Raises SALT Cap, but Only for Five Years” [27east.com, July 3]: People should be aware of exactly how deceptive Nick LaLota’s description of success is, and that the deception is clearly deliberate. I...
Misguided PremiseThe amazing part of The Express News Group is that it continues to carry water for the Democratic Party despite what it’s done to America and the American people. The present-day Democratic Party is left, socialist-leaning and antisemitic — and...
