By Chris Snellgrove | Published 31 seconds ago As a nostalgic English professor, I often think about these wise words from John Greenleaf Whittier: “Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, ‘It might have been.’” No matter what current events are bringing you down (and boy, do you have a lot to choose from right now), nothing will be quite as tragic as the idea that things could have turned out better. That’s not just true of personal or global events, either. In this case, it’s also true of Star Trek: Enterprise. At this year’s…

However, speaking to the media earlier today, US Vice President JD Vance said: “The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement, and I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than…

Following World War II, the G.I. Bill helped build the strongest middle class the world had ever seen. It gave ordinary Americans a path to homeownership and a real stake in the country they loved. Veterans and their families built communities, raised children, and strengthened schools and houses of worship. They fueled the growth of great cities, colleges, research universities, and a technological boom unlike anything the world had seen. Now that is ending.  Today, few young Americans can afford to buy homes. Trump’s answer? Fifty-year mortgages. I’m not a math whiz, but with the median age of buying a…
