The American Way

Donald Trump has been given an extraordinary mandate by the American people. They wanted change, and he promised it. The question I have is: What price are Americans willing to pay to get those changes accomplished Trump style? Trump will close the border and deport illegal immigrants. But he will do it in the Trump way, which will be extreme and brutal. Are Americans going to be OK with that? He will end the war in Ukraine, in the Trump way. He will likely make a deal with Vladimir Putin to give away a portion of Ukraine, and to restrict ... by Staff Writer

The Pity Party

For decades, three friends and I have met at Le Soir in Blue Point for seasonal dinners. Since I had the longest ride, I stayed overnight at my librarian friend’s house. That way I could enjoy a straight-up dirty martini with three olives. Back then, I was divorced, and my librarian confidante was between husbands, so our conversations focused on money and men. Now money and medical are prime concerns. However, one of the quartet insisted that any talk about medical matters be limited to the Ten-Minute Rule. An “organ recital” wouldn’t leave enough time to laugh and to discuss ... by Denise Gray Meehan

Intense Views

The political campaign signs along Suffolk County roads declared: “Suffolk is Trump Country.” And, indeed, in last week’s election, Suffolk County was Trump country — as was much of the United States. His vote here for president heading the Republican ticket was substantial: 402,924, compared to 323,473 for Democrat Kamala Harris, or 55 to 44 percent. That’s an increase from 2020, when Trump bested Democrat Joe Biden in the county by 232 votes, and 2016, when he won by 46,619 votes in Suffolk County over Democrat Hillary Clinton. I’ve written about outcomes of elections on Long Island for decades, and ... by Karl Grossman

Pitchforks Are Out

In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, “Stupid is as stupid does.” In collecting my thoughts on what this election means, I remind myself that any explanation within days of an election is not likely to be accurate. I think real wisdom will only come once the dust settles, the finger-pointing stops and the need to fill space on cable news with instantly developed opinions subsides. With that said, I have been thinking throughout the last several months about a warning issued 10 years ago by a billionaire hedge fund guy from Seattle (Nick Hanauer), who made his money being ... by Staff Writer

Fork in the Road

I submitted parts of this letter just prior to the midterm election in 2022 to explain the “Red Wave.” But there was no Red Wave. I was wrong then. But, today, my explanation still stands. It is disrespectful, and oh-so-very irritating, to tell Americans that what they are seeing is not what they are seeing. 1. Do not tell us that the border is secure as thousands of illegal aliens stream into our country day after day after day. 2. Do not tell us that crime in America is a figment of our imagination when innocent victims are created day ... by Staff Writer

This Time

I have seen the sign at Division and Marsden streets saying that all four lots are for sale. Again. I can only guess, perhaps wrongly, that the village’s persistence in following historic district guidelines might have deterred the latest developer. Whatever the reason, the fact that the intact Marsden Street lot is once more on the market presents a great opportunity for the village and school district. Can we at last find a way to work together — with financial help from the Southampton Town Community Preservation Fund — on a plan that would benefit both village and school? Maybe ... by Staff Writer
