Tom Smothers, the comic half of the squabbling Smothers Brothers, died Tuesday at age 86. Though they’ll always be remembered for having their top-rated variety show axed by CBS in 1969 for its criticism of the war in Vietnam, I remember them more for bringing some levity to audiences years earlier, during the Great Folk […]

Story after story tells us that Trump is winning the 2024 presidential race. What they don’t tell you: Those same polls show that […]
