Before Sabra was a brand of hummus, it was a nickname for Israelis, who were said to be like the Sabra cactus: tough outside, but tender inside. In the age of Donald Trump, all progressives must learn to be Sabras.

I had fishing on my mind and discovered two 1,500-foot piers to choose from. These things were built with hurricanes in mind and the massive parking lot was free.
Donald Trump has surprised us all so many times, but could it be that he will go down in history as a politician who, in the vein of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, won by mastering a revolutionary new technology? I'm speaking, of course, of Twitter. In recent days, Trump has used the platform to attack the cast of "Hamilton" and to express some kind words about Sen. Chuck Schumer on Sunday.
If you are a school district that refuses to allow students to use the restroom of their choosing, you could be in big trouble. Your federal funding could be reduced or eliminated.
Now that the election is over, the bottom line is this: Donald Trump is right; this was a "rigged" election. The plan to get nine women to accuse Trump of sexual behavior didn't work.
Eight and a half months ago, Mitt Romney called Donald Trump a "fake," a "fraud," a "con man" and a "phony." Mr. Trump responded later that day by pointing out that he owned a Gucci store, in Trump Tower in Manhattan, that was worth more than Mr. Romney.
Already there are tensions between Trump, who's been shaky on the specifics of the 2010 health care law and says he wants to keep the popular parts, and congressional leaders like House Speaker Paul Ryan and conservative think tanks who ideologically, almost theologically, oppose anything associated with the Affordable Care Act. They're going to get squeezed in a political vise.
I wrote a couple of election post-mortem columns back in November 2012 for your Daily Republic, trying to help the Republican Party regroup and do a better job of attracting voters in 2016. Funnily enough, Republicans also performed a painful self-autopsy and arrived at the same basic conclusion, that they must try to be more inclusive in their policies to attract minorities, immigrants, young voters and women to their cause.
The recent presidential election result has caused us all - Democrats, Republicans and independents - to ask “what just happened” ? For Democrats, just like the Cleveland Indians, the answer is that no lead is insurmountable. For Republicans, the answer is the same, only they are the Chicago Cubs.
Tippy-toeing around, walking on eggshells, too afraid to tell it like it is because even though it's the truth we can't risk hurting some thin-skinned person's feelings. Just look at how many people are getting their knickers in a knot at the suggestion that those who support and voted for President-elect Donald Trump are racist.
Donald J. Trump's supporters were probably heartened in September, when, according to an article shared nearly a million times on Facebook, the candidate received an endorsement from Pope Francis. Their opinions on Hillary Clinton may have soured even further after reading a Denver Guardian article that also spread widely on Facebook, which reported days before the election that an F.B.I. agent suspected of involvement in leaking Mrs. Clinton's emails was found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.
Donald Trump's surprise victory in the presidential election, coupled with continued Republican control of both branches of the U.S. Congress, heralds significant changes in the United States' policy in trade, immigration, foreign affairs, energy and taxation. Many Canadians are understandably uneasy about the direction the U.S. may take under new leadership.
The good news is that we dodged a bullet in this election. The bad news is that we don't know how many other bullets are coming, or from what direction.
The news, as always, came via Twitter: "NBC News: Source close to Trump with direct knowledge of his thinking confirms Sunday's meeting with Romney is to discuss Secretary of State." Mitt Romney, the face - and voice - of the resistance to Donald Trump in the Republican primary and the general election will huddle with the president-elect over the weekend to talk about possibly serving as the nation's top diplomat.
Now that the U.S. presidential election is over, we conservatives get to indulge in our favourite spectator sport - watching baffled journalists and traumatized celebrities come to grips with the fact that nobody really much cares what they think. In the wake of that earth-shattering discovery, many of them fell back on the old liberal standbys: racism, sexism and "some animals are more equal than others" - or, as comedian Taran Killam tweeted, "Rural = so stupid."
