Time To Feast

Every year, I say I am going to do this. Finally, I’m going to say it before the madness begins. Christmas does not end on Christmas. It begins on Christmas. The period before is one of preparation, called Advent. It’s supposed to be spiritual preparation, but we also live in worldly reality. So that’s also the time to shop, mail cards, wrap, clean, decorate, bake and, especially for women, run yourself into the ground. The 12 days of Christmas begin on December 25 and run to January 6, which is called the Epiphany. This feast day commemorates the arrival of ... by Staff Writer

Democrats won gubernatorial elections with moderate candidates in New Jersey and Virginia. Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, was elected mayor of New York City as a Democrat, with a majority of the vote in a three-way race. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom’s redistricting proposal was approved by more than 60 percent of the vote. Democrats also ... by Fred Thiele Jr.

Warm Air, and Hot Air

There’s a highly threatening and new reality for hurricanes. Unusually, the East Coast of the United States was not struck this year by any hurricanes. And thus, luckily, we were not hit by one of these extreme hurricanes that first meanders as a minor storm and then, in just a day or so after feeding from waters made ever-hotter by climate change, rise to the worst hurricane level, Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. But it’s just a matter of time. The National Weather Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency defines online Category 5 as: “Winds 157 ... 19 Nov 2025 by Karl Grossman
