My Turn: The challenges that lie ahead
The last time my family shared a political watch party was when then-President Joe Biden debated Republican candidate Donald Trump in June 2024. We were filled with enthusiasm, which became muted when it was revealed how mentally decrepit Biden was. By the time it was mercifully over, we could barely speak or move. Therefore, it was with some trepidation that we watched the 2026 midterm results at another family affair.

My Turn: Envisioning a post-Trump future
While the focus is on the midterms, I’m more concerned with January, when it’s possible that Trump and MAGA will attempt another coup d’état. Last month, Trump urged his cult to “cheat like hell” to win the election. This adds to the daily incoherent ramblings both at his rallies and on his Truth Social site, where one falls into disbelief as to what they had heard.

Missão japonesa pretende coletar amostras de lua marciana
Uma missão espacial japonesa está prestes a ser lançada rumo a Marte. Mas ela não pousará no próprio planeta. Em vez disso, a missão Exploração das Luas de Marte (MMX, na sigla em inglês) se concentrará em Phobos, a maior das duas pequenas luas marcianas. A sonda está prevista para ser lançada nesta segunda-feira (19), a bordo de um foguete H3 a partir do Centro Espacial de Tanegashima, no sul do Japão.
My Turn: The water and fire crisis facing America
Having followed the recent Recorder articles regarding drought in the Pioneer Valley, I was at first incredulous that drought even existed in western Massachusetts but realized it had more to do with water-level tables. Out here in the desert Southwest, we have a harsher definition of drought conditions. New Mexico is currently experiencing the hottest and driest summer in many decades. Few here have lawns, preferring hardier trees, bushes and plants, but even they have limits.

My Turn: Socialists, Zionists and commies, oh, my!
Not surprisingly, we are back to a time of scapegoats and scare words but before the progressive left gets too smug, they aren’t excluded. The Republican Party, however, now controlled and cowed by Donald Trump, has brought it to a new low. Instead of targeting teachers, librarians and trans children, they’re back to warning us about the non-existent threat of the red menace. “Socialist” is a nifty scare word because few in Trump’s camp actually understands what it means.
My Turn: America at 250 — A nation in retrograde
Those who follow astrology are familiar with the term “retrograde.” It means going backwards, in particular a planet appearing to be moving in a reverse direction than its usual orbit. Little Mercury is typically the main culprit and “Mercury in retrograde” has become a standard metaphor to excuse things going south.

My Turn: The return of ‘Tomorrow’s Women’
When Naurit was a little girl, she learned a song whose lyrics included “Hurry, hurry, it’s dangerous outside!” Her parents sang it as they rushed to the bomb shelter while rockets from Gaza flew overhead. On Oct. 7 2023, her family spent days hiding in that shelter as Hamas killers stalked overhead. Naurit (all names have been changed for security reasons) was in Haifa when she learned that her city of Sderot, close to the border with Gaza, was being attacked.

My Turn: ‘Keep ‘em scared, sick and ignorant’
Considering the sheer lunacy of Donald Trump’s recent actions, it’s difficult to find an agenda within his never-ending chaos. But if I had to choose a motto, it would simply be “Keep ‘em scared, sick and ignorant.” There’s a harsher word beginning with the letter “S” but I’m trying to restrain myself here.

Indiferencia ante intento de estafa - Leroy Merlín

Desde el primer momento detecté que se trataba de un intento de estafa, por lo que procedí a colgar. Acto seguido, llamé a Leroy Merlin para comunicar lo ocurrido, ya que la persona que me contactó disponía de mi nombre y apellidos, lo que sugiere una posible filtración de datos personales.

My Turn: A lifetime of unnecessary wars
I began a week-long Caribbean cruise the same day that the Epstein Distraction War (some are calling it the Iran War) began and spent my first day on a beach where husky young American men, fresh off their yachts and catamarans, stood in the surf with their teeny-bikini girlfriends, drinking Painkillers and laughing heartily. War? What war? We then cruised through an anchorage where our guide told us that on New Year’s Eve, 300 yachts crowded this same harbor, blocking out the horizon.
The Boys in the Boat (2023) - Film
Film ini dibuka dengan Joe Rantz yang sudah tua, mengenang masa mudanya saat menjadi bagian dari tim dayung legendaris. Tahun 1936, Joe adalah mahasiswa miskin di University of Washington. Ia hidup serba kekurangan, bahkan tinggal di mobil rusak dan makan seadanya. Demi bertahan kuliah, ia bergabung dengan tim dayung 8+ karena tim itu menyediakan asrama dan makan. Awalnya Joe dan teman-temannya cuma anak-anak biasa tanpa pengalaman besar.
My Turn: What are your values? Original
Years ago, I was driving over La Veta Pass in southern Colorado, a lovely stretch that divides the eastern plains from the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) Mountain range that extends down into New Mexico. It was a long drive so I turned on the radio but heard nothing but static on the FM channels. On the AM, I had the choice between Christian music stations and talk radio, all of the right-wing variety; not exactly a perfect choice for someone of my nature.
My Turn: 2026 — The end of Trump - Greenfield Recorder
Before members of the local MAGA tribe get their knickers in a twist, I desire that the end of Trump comes about peacefully and legally, unlike Jan. 6, 2021 when his violent mob tried to overthrow our government. But over the course of 2026, Trump has to go. His recent actions and odious statements make it obvious that he is too mentally, physically and morally degenerate to continue as president of the United States.
My Turn: One must challenge political conformity
The perhaps forced resignation of Marjorie Taylor-Greene should come as no surprise to those of us attuned to how cults operate. MAGA has always been a white supremacist cult but when a cult True Believer challenges Dear Leader or asks too many uncomfortable questions, the outcome is immediate, preordained and brutal. Not that I have much sympathy for her.
My Turn: Honoring a veteran we all know
The actor, James Maitland “Jimmy” Stewart needs little introduction. Perhaps the most popular movie star of his era; on the eve of World War II, he had already claimed his fame through movies like “The Philadelphia Story” which won him an Oscar and “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” Stewart was also a pilot with a commercial license who owned his own airplane. In 1940, he was drafted but flunked the exam because he weighed less than what his six-foot four height demanded.
My Turn: Will America step back from the abyss?
By the summer of 1970, I was convinced the United States was on the verge of self destruction. There were numerous civil wars that threatened to rise up-and engulf us all. Black against white, young against old, Dove vs. Hawk among others.
My Turn: Yes, (sigh), the Civil War was about slavery
If anyone still maintains illusions about Donald Trump’s racist proclivities, it should be put to rest by his recent attacks on the Smithsonian Institution which contains exhibits about the role of African slavery in the building of America. This is part and parcel of his plan to rewrite our history along white supremacist lines.
My Turn: Denying facts endangers all of us

Plus, I’m still waiting for my check from George Soros.

My Turn: In the years ahead, don’t become ‘The Good German’
E-Edition Advertise Newsletters Subscribe Home News Opinion Sports Business Arts & Life Obituaries Classifieds Calendar Puzzles I recently read a book about President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s actions during the latter years of World War II, focusing mainly on his response (or lack thereof) to the Holocaust. Several chapters are devoted to life, if one can so call it, at the Auschwitz death camp, which despite my previous knowledge were hard to read.
Decreased isometric neck strength is a risk factor for head, neck and face injuries in professional rugby league players
ABSTRACT Head, neck and face injuries are a concern in contact sports. This exploratory study aimed to establish 1) injury risk factors for head, neck and face injuries and 2) clinical cut-off values related to strength, endurance and proprioception of the cervical spine in a team of professional rugby league players. Pre-season assessments of isometric strength of the flexor, extensor and lateral flexor muscles, endurance of the flexor muscles and joint position error were conducted.
My Turn: America’s self-inflicted wound
It’s not uncommon for the process of democracy to contain the seeds of its own destruction. It allows the people to freely elect the very person who has vowed to strangle it to death. Past examples are Adolf Hitler’s Reichstag victories in the 1930s and the election of Vladimir Putin in the Russian general election of 2000. Both Germany and Russia at the time had virtually no democratic traditions with which to build a strong foundation. Here in the United States, we have no such excuse.
Palestine. Des multinationales contre le droit international
Dans les collines bibliques du sud-ouest de Naplouse, par-delà les monts qui ondulent au travers de la Cisjordanie occupée par Israël, des hôtes Airbnb proposent d’apaisants séjours à leurs visiteurs. La ferme écologique de Dalit Ohana, située à Yakir, dispose d’un atelier de céramique situé à quelques pas d’une piscine chauffée. Mais sous le vernis tranquille, cette colonie de 2 600 personnes cache une réalité plus sombre faite de violations du droit international et des droits humains.

My Turn: Recalling long, painful road to Red Sox redemption
Before the coming presidential election drives us all crazy, let’s take a break and read about something we can all (hopefully) agree on, namely, the Boston Red Sox. This for me is unusual as I grew up in New York City and was 11 years old when the 1961 Yankees fielded perhaps the most dynamic team to ever play the game, their stats the stuff of legend.
My Turn: The blood libel of Zionists and the Holocaust
Over the years, I’ve read numerous accusations against Israel, all of which defy reality. According to them, Zionists have committed genocide over the previous century, caused global warming, perpetrated police brutality against African Americans, inspired Osama bin Laden to attack us on 9/11 and, from a recent My Turn on these pages, conspired with the Nazis to create the Holocaust. I’m amazed that a country so small that it’s virtually invisible on a world map could cause such widespread mayhem.
My Turn: Trump’s brutal promise no joke
One thing we Jews have learned from our fraught history is that when someone threatens to kill you, they mean it. History itself teaches that when a psychopathic strongman threatens to establish a vengeful dictatorship, they mean it as well. Donald Trump has threatened it and he means it. The scary thing is that many Americans don’t care and even welcome such an outcome.
The Recorder - My Turn: Why are feminists silent about Oct. 7?
In 2017, in reaction to the revelations about the sexual misconduct of Harvey Weinstein that led to the creation of the #MeToo movement, feminist activist Eve Ensler (“The Vagina Monologues”) wrote the following: “I’m over the passivity of good men. Where the hell are you? You live with us, make love with us, father us, befriend us, brother us, get nurtured and mothered and eternally supported by us, so why aren’t you standing with us?
The Recorder - My Turn: Myths and facts about Israel, Palestine
The most disconcerting aspect for me of the never-ending Israeli-Palestinian dogfight is the sheer ignorance about Israel being espoused by usually educated progressives in the Valley and elsewhere. Instead of learning the long, complex and nuanced history of this conflict, they have fallen back on slogans, genocidal chants and misinformation, not to mention their silence in the wake of the sexual violence perpetrated against Israeli women on Oct. 7.
The Recorder - My Turn: Hypocrisy Now! The American left and Israel
It is difficult to read the details of the horrific Oct. 7 massacre perpetrated on Israel by Hamas without wondering if you had accidentally stumbled upon one of the more gruesome episodes from “Game of Thrones.” I’ll spare you but it’s illuminating how the American left is responding to these atrocities.
The Recorder - My Turn: Must the dream of peace be shattered?
This past July, I was flying home from visiting family back East and was about to board the final leg from Atlanta to Albuquerque. In the gangway leading to our aircraft, I noticed a gaggle of teenage girls talking loudly and enthusiastically, waving their arms this way and that. Naturally, I assumed it was my fellow New Mexicans heading home. As it happened, these young ladies occupied the rows directly in front of me where I noticed their dark complexions and a language I didn’t comprehend.

The Recorder - My Turn: Here comes the Red Menace!
Back during the civil rights era, a certain billboard began to appear across the rural South. It showed the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. sitting with an integrated group, apparently listening to a lecture. The caption underneath proclaimed in big, bold letters, “Martin Luther King at Communist Training School” with an arrow pointed at King. In fact, he attended no such thing.
The Recorder - My Turn: The comparison still holds
In August 2015, a week after Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the 2016 Republican Party presidential ticket, I wrote a My Turn for this newspaper comparing him to Adolf Hitler. Not surprisingly, it outraged some Valley residents, especially those with a conservative slant. My decision to do so wasn’t some kind of knee-jerk reaction. As a Jew who’s over-literate in the history of the Holocaust, Trump launched red flags right from the start.
Will I Still Be Me After Death?
| August 28, 2023 | no comments In his series about Heaven, Pastor Daniel Brown asks, in the world to come, will we be who we were? There are two kinds of death—spiritual and natural. Death is not a state of oblivion or non-existence; it is, rather, a separation from the life that was meant to be. Spiritual death cuts people off from relationship with God in the spirit realm, and our physical death will cut us off from relationship with the people we love here on earth.
