On the night before Christmas, former police commissioner Bill Bratton finally received an answer to his longstanding dinner invitation to Ray Kelly.
Didn't the bankers and industrialists just ruin the global economy? What gives them the right to ruin the public schools?
It certainly feels like we dodged another bullet, Rudy deciding not to run for governor or for senator. But it seems suspicious, too. Why would he h...
Rudy Giuliani is out. Out of the Senate race, and for all practical purposes out of politics. He has been with us for more than a quarter century. He had his moments. Too bad there weren't very many of them.
Mayor Bloomberg's store-bought third term has not yet begun yet he has picked a fight with someone no one in his right mind wants to fight: outgoing Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau.
A - I´ll always want you B - Because my heart is true C - Come, come, come closer And I´ll tell you of the ABC´s -Fran...
Liz Feld is apparently feeling her oats in considering a run against Kirsten Gillibrand for the U.S. Senate. Perhaps Feld believes that a win in Westchester can carry her to DC.
With crime at historic lows and the police commissioner enjoying high public approval, one might think the NYPD would extend basic respect to police reporters. Think again.
Since Holder's announcement regarding civilian trials for KSM, critics have latched on to some common myths about civilian courts. Four of their misstatements need to be addressed.
For many Republicans, none more so than Rudy Giuliani, the KSM trial is merely an opportunity to get some media attention and take a cheap shot at the president.
So Rudy Giuliani is apparently not running for governor and is dithering about whether to try for the Senate. We've lived through this melodrama before.
Most of us who live not far from Ground Zero, and who were here on 9/11, see New York as an appropriate and just venue, and aren't afraid that the trial will result in terrorist retribution.
Tough-guy Rudy Giuliani and touchy-feely David Paterson are in unlikely and violent agreement: making Manhattan Ground Zero for the Khalid Sheik Mohammed trial is a very bad idea.
After the announcement that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 defendants will stand trial in New York, right wing panic set in. Countless Re...
Beyond the merits of Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to try Khalid Shaikh Mohammed in federal criminal court in Manhattan is the fact that it was his decision.
The outcry against trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York is strange. The same people who tell us to stand up to terrorists feel it's too scary to have them in a U.S. courtroom. Giuliani is livid at the idea.
To understand the way Albany thinks, look to the trial of the ex-Senate majority leader, who seems to think the feds are persecuting him. "I wasn't a terrorist," he protests. That neatly sums up his good points.
Since 2001, 195 cases of terrorism have been uneventfully prosecuted in civilian courts, with 91% ending in convictions, But this little factoid surely won't stop Republicans from exploitative political posturing.
All of Newsmax's efforts have gone for naught, undone last week as Kerik pleaded guilty to eight charges, including tax fraud and lying to White House officials.
Watching Bernie Kerik weep while admitting he was a crook, this reporter could not help recalling past conversations with Judith Regan, his editor, publisher and former lover.
For a normal mortal, Michael Bloomberg's 5-point mayoral win would be a healthy victory. For him, it looks like a desperate scraping of the barrel.
