Community I’m a Jew Who Voted for Trump. To Keep My Support, Here’s What He Must Do Next.
I lost, at least temporarily, some friends and social media outlets thanks to the recent election — but I may have gained a far broader appreciation of the greatness and opportunities for America’s future.

Community A Trump Supporter’s Final Pre-Election Thoughts
This is a bittersweet time. I truly love politics and have ever since my dad of blessed memory took me to stand on line with him in 1960 as he prepared to vote in the Kennedy-Nixon contest in Sheepshead Bay. Four years later, I remember my dad taking me to brief meetings of the North…

It is hard to imagine, in today’s 24-7 news cycle made up of equal parts visual necessity plus a profound political divide that often reduces America’s two main political parties to cartoonish food fights, finding and creating common ground to shape an American foreign policy that would last for decades. Yet that is precisely what…

Community Donald Trump is a Wild Man and a Populist. That is Exactly What America Needs.
By every right, I should be a Democrat. And until a few months ago, I was. But I heard the trumpet call of change, and I decided to change too. Let me be clear: I am to the left of President Obama on healthcare. I believe Bernie represents the best instincts of public service, though…
