Bravo, Supreme Court for ratifying an interpretation of the Constitution that dates back to the Civil War. If you are born on US territory, you are a US citizen. It is called birthright citizenship, and it is still the law of the land. Thank you, SCOTUS.

Parents like you Sylvie are the true heroes on the front lines in the movement to provide the disabled what they need to live decent lives.

A memorandum from the Office of Legal Counsel in the Justice Department says the federal government has no responsibility to pay for care of the disabled at home or in the community. This is a recipe for the re-institutionalization of the handicapped. Willowbrook here we come. Nursing Homes and other private equity funded institutions will flourish. The disabled will Wither Away in the dark corners of society. They’ll have no right to live in their communities. This is shameful and draconian and must not be allowed to become policy.

Disgusting and outrageous. Whoever is responsible for the false reports that former Transportation Secretary and combat veteran Pete Buttigieg and his husband pose a threat to their four-year-old twins should be criminally and harshly charged.

Supreme Court this week ended Temporary Protected Status for refugees here from hell holes like Haiti. Now that President Trump has succeeded in stopping illegal immigration why not show compassion to those already here? If they are otherwise following the rules, give them a break to honor America’s big birthday.

The highly anticipated MSG wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be grandiose. But will it top the onstage 1974 MSG marriage of rocker Sly Stone and Kathy Silva? His "I want to take you higher" set the tone. youtube.com/watch?v=oUt6lvit…

Prayers for Venezuela, dealt a terrible blow from twin earthquakes that crumbled cities. Time for the U.S. to show the Pueblo Venezolano that we care for our friends.

39 injured, 6 killed in Chicago shootings last weekend. Don’t be mad at Trump for bringing it up.

The Ghosts of Gilgo The public beaches of the south shore of Long Island are among the best in the nation offering wonderful boating, sailing, fishing, swimming and surfing at this moment being enjoyed by many thousands on a sunny June day. One of those beaches, lovely and accessible, is Gilgo. Gilgo Beach is notorious now for the sex workers whose bodies were found buried there, their rough lives viciously cut short by sick violence between 1993 and 2010. Last week an ordinary looking 63-year-old architect from Massapequa Park Long Island named Rex Heuermann was sentenced to eight consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for the murders of eight young women he dumped at Gilgo Beach. Over the last several years the victims' bodies were found mutilated, bound in burlap, sometimes dismembered, and buried in the scrub brush lining the beach. Although he just pled guilty to the murders of eight women, authorities are not certain that is the extent of his savagery. There could be more victims. His story brought to mind another Long Island monster, a creep named Joel Rifkin who is currently serving hundreds of years for killing between 15 and 17 sex workers on Long Island, some also dumped on the beach. I interviewed him in a psych ward upstate New York. Rifkin told me that he figured that since he would get the maximum penalty of life for just one murder, anyone over that was a freebie. Like Rifkin, the story of how the authorities came to suspect Heuermann, and get the evidence needed to convict him is a combination CSI, and old school police work. This banal monster was taken down when authorities matched his DNA from the scene of the crimes, with DNA from the crust of a pizza he discarded in a garbage can outside his Manhattan office building. Heuermann was still living in in the Massapequa Park neighborhood where he grew up when arrested, in the same home. He was described by neighbors as ordinary, never causing any problems. Given the chance by presiding Judge Timothy Mazzei to say some last words to a courtroom filled with victims’ families, the killer mumbled, “the words I would say have no meaning and I'm gonna leave it there.” The judge tore into Heuermann. “I know that you're sorry that you got caught. I assume that you're sorry for what you've done to your wife and children. Are you a little bit sorry for what you did to these poor innocent women. Eight women that you strangled to death. You've been described as a very big man. You're a disgusting and despicable small man, if you're a man at all, and you're a coward…get him out of here.” Heuermann and Rifkin. Two Long Islanders whose crimes scream out for a return of New York's death penalty.

I don’t hate Russians, just hate that they invaded sovereign Ukraine. Now the mighty empire is being humbled, out thought by a much more nimble nation. Crimea will be just the first to return. Salva Ukraini.

Clive Davis was a true gentleman with an impeccable taste in music. A huge talent and a gracious man. He was an icon who will be sorely missed. RIP the ear who heard and celebrated Whitney Houston.

Amen to that, thanks
