Politics tamfitronics There is always a price to be paid for crossing party lines. But when the person doing it is a Kennedy, the cost is far higher. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s defection from the Democrats and his endorsement of former President Donald Trump last week is being treated by his family in joint statements as a betrayal of the legacy of his namesake father, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncle, President John F. Kennedy. Family members like his sister Kerry and brother Max have denounced him in vituperative terms. Longtime pals like actor Billy Baldwin have said they were ending their friendship. Media coverage was equally hysterical. A New York Times columnist skewed him by pretending to speak as a brain worm inside his head, a reference to a dead parasite that had...

Politics tamfitronics US army officials issued a strongly worded rebuke of Donald Trump’s campaign on Thursday as they confirmed a worker at Arlington national cemetery was “abruptly pushed aside” during an altercation with members of the former president’s staff.The statement was the strongest official criticism yet of Trump’s controversial visit in which he gave a thumbs-up over graves as a photo opportunity and there was an alleged physical assault by two of his staffers on the army official.

Inside, thousands of supporters filled out an arena usually reserved for minor league hockey games and concerts – taking up every last seat.“It’s good to be...
