There's a special story unfolding at Bernheim Forest and Arboretum in Kentucky, where eastern golden eagles have made their winter home. Scientists have been tracking golden eagles since the 1970s, but the first known pair to be tracked simultaneously in eastern North America was at Bernheim.

It all began with Harper, a male golden eagle that...Read more

There are about 420 people in Arthur County, Nebraska, out in the western part of the state, spread out over 715,152 square miles. The county seat, and the county's only incorporated town, is a town called Arthur, and about 130 people call that village home.

Those little rural towns in the West, Midwest and South have been emptying out for ...Read more

At some point, the headlines turned "affordability" from a concern into a "crisis." But what does affordability mean? For most of us, that depends on what we consider our minimum requirements for happiness.

If you look at TikTok, life in New York City is a fairy tale of chic bars, eggs topped with caviar and everyone looking conspicuously ...Read more

Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News Host turned podcaster, is in the business of getting attention. This week, it worked. She got the attention of the President of the United States in her attack on fellow conservative talker Mark Levin, not to mention the support of fellow bomb thrower Marjorie Taylor Greene.

At the center of the attack is the ...Read more

I'd give anything not to write it this column. But the comparisons are clear when history rhymes.

President Donald Trump's America is a foghorn call across time -- to Germany in the 1930s, when Adolf Hitler rose to power legally. Note, I do not mean the 1940s, when the Holocaust became the greatest crime in human history.

Hitler built...Read more

Trust me when I say that a home on Indian Creek Island is not for you.

First of all, you're not a billionaire. But even a billion bucks wouldn't buy your way onto this island in Florida's Biscayne Bay. It's the exclusive domain of such multi-multi-billionaires as Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, Ivanka Trump ... and now Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of ...Read more

For Olha Burdeina's fellow Ukrainians, beginning their fifth year under Russian assault, "the silence is loud." Burdeina, a Ukrainian student at Brown University, writes that "(i)t is the moment between the siren and the explosion that makes you listen closely. I've learned to live in this silence without anybody asking whether I want to know ...Read more

Oil, oil, oil. The war with Iran has oil prices soaring. And no thanks, President Trump, for your other war, the one against green energy.

As Americans freak over gas prices, they are taking another look at electric vehicles. But guess what? Most domestic automakers dropped ambitious investments toward that end, leaving car lots bereft of ...Read more

Just days after being assaulted in her home, L.B., a client at the ACLU Women's Rights Project, was given 14 days to leave her home. Another client, N.S., was denied housing under a blanket "no-evictions" policy that disproportionately excludes Black women. When fair housing protections fail, women -- especially low-income women, women of ...Read more

Why are we there? Is it because Israel was going to go there first/anyway, or because we wanted Israel to go? What are we doing there? Did we really bomb a girls' school? How could we have made such a mistake? How can we not take responsibility if we did?

You hear it all from this administration -- conflicting explanations, denials that have ...Read more

Hello, Occupied France, from your Favorite Country, America! Happy 1944 or, as the late, great Hannibal Lecter put it, Steak au Poivre! It's me, YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP!

Good news, Frog People. No one ever thought anything like this could ever be thought of, much less done except by me, your favorite President, so I'm doing it: ...Read more

Pete Hegseth won't have to wait much longer before notching his first officially recognized war atrocity as secretary of defense.

Investigators for the Pentagon's Central Command, in charge of all Mideast operations, have determined that U.S. forces were likely culpable in the lethal air strike on a girls' school in Minab, Iran, that killed ...Read more

Last fall, I fell in love with prairie dogs on the American Prairie in Montana even though the hype for America's Great Plains pointed me to bison. As impressive as North America's largest land mammal is, the pipsqueak of the prairie piqued my interest and stole my heart, and I'm not the only one. Andy Boyce arrived on the American Prairie in ...Read more

I counted 26 varieties of frozen pizza for sale in my local grocery store last Tuesday.

Can you tell I'm semiretired?

But first, let's explain my methodology.

I wasn't in the biggest grocery store in this area. I was in a midsize grocery store.

I didn't count pizza rolls, pizza bagels or anything similar. To be counted, a pizza didn't have...Read more

It is a Washington Post exclusive. They must have been tipped off. They clearly had a reporter there at 4 a.m. Saturday morning, when two employees of the Architect of the Capitol finally did the deed. First, they wheeled the plaque, which was stored in plywood, across the stone basement floor and then raised it with a jack table to fix it in ...Read more

Readers, does it seem we're going through one constitutional crisis after another?

Six Democratic senators told a scrum of journalists that President Donald Trump's newly launched war on Iran, with Israel, pushed them past a breaking point. They vowed to force public hearings and debate on the war, which is costing about a billion dollars a ...Read more
