  • The Man Behind The Brochure

    The Man Behind The Brochure

    Ken Jowdy’s official biography shines like a new driver beneath the Cabo sun. Diamante calls him the visionary who personally directed financing, construction and operations while assembling a golf kingdom around Tiger Woods, Davis Love III and PGA Tour prestige. But reputations built beside legends do not erase bank records. Long before Diamante became a…

  • Canada Drops the Gloves

    Canada Drops the Gloves

    Canada’s political class wanted a nationalist spectacle. What it produced was a monument to its own dependency. Canadian officials opened the Gordie Howe International Bridge—a multibillion-dollar gateway whose economic purpose is access to Detroit and the American marketplace—without American or Michigan dignitaries. The snub was supposed to punish Donald Trump. Instead, it exposed Ottawa’s weakness.…

  • The Mayor of Make-Believe

    The Mayor of Make-Believe

    Zohran Mamdani wants New Yorkers to see an international sheriff staring down Benjamin Netanyahu. The problem is that the mayor lacks the legal authority to execute an International Criminal Court warrant. What Mamdani does possess is power over the NYPD and the ability to demand scrutiny of stale, unsupported Investigation Cards operating like secret warrants.…

  • Tehran’s Unpaid Blood Debt

    Tehran’s Unpaid Blood Debt

    American victims of state-sponsored terrorism have buried husbands, wives, parents, children, soldiers, firefighters and friends. Then they endured years of litigation, proved their cases and secured judgments against the governments and terror networks responsible. Washington’s answer has too often been another delay, another negotiation and another excuse. Janlyn Scauso, whose husband, FDNY firefighter Dennis Scauso,…

  • Shadows of the Syndicate: The Ken Jowdy Money Trail

    Shadows of the Syndicate: The Ken Jowdy Money Trail

    Every good scandal begins with two stories that cannot both be true. Kenneth A. Jowdy appears in Diamante Cabo’s polished history as the visionary behind a world-class golf empire. Yet lawsuits, judgments, banking records, federal exhibits, and years of post-trial combat place his name wherever the money trail bends toward Baja. Phillip A. Kenner was…

  • Leave the Gravy Alone: Satire and the Italian soul

    Leave the Gravy Alone: Satire and the Italian soul

    A year after Greg Maresca stirred the Sunday gravy with an affectionate roast of Pennsylvania Italians, he returns to the scene of the culinary crime. His original column borrowed the rhythm of Jeff Foxworthy to poke fun at jarred sauce, plastic-covered furniture, mangled pronunciations and the sacred mysteries of gabagool. But beneath every punchline was…

  • The Sirens Follow Eric Sanders

    The Sirens Follow Eric Sanders

    Eric Sanders has made ethics the centerpiece of his public brand. He arrives before the cameras as a civil-rights crusader, condemning misconduct, retaliation and institutional abuse. But Sanders’ own documented history raises questions that cannot be erased by press conferences or semantic games. Published reports describe disciplinary trouble, bankruptcy litigation, civil contempt and a pregnancy-discrimination…

  • Kevin Barry Love’s Christmas Goose

    Kevin Barry Love’s Christmas Goose

    The NYPD has finally placed a date on the Kevin Barry Love bodycam mystery: November 30, 2026. By Christmas, the political goose may be carved. The footage reportedly captures Love’s encounter during the July 10 narcotics sweep at the McDonald’s at 501 Bay Street, his detention, property seizure, and transport toward the 120th Precinct. Sources…

  • Sealed After The Sweep: Where Did Kevin Barry Love’s Case Go?

    Sealed After The Sweep: Where Did Kevin Barry Love’s Case Go?

    Kevin Barry Love’s reported arrest has moved back one day—and into a much darker story. A source caught in the same July 10 narcotics sweep says Love was among alleged buyers and sellers detained near the McDonald’s at 501 Bay Street, transported to the 120th Precinct, placed in a cell, and stripped of property for…

  • Hockey’s Holiest Trophy Hijacked

    Hockey’s Holiest Trophy Hijacked

    The Stanley Cup is supposed to remember sacrifice, not celebrate bloodlines. Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon turned hockey’s most sacred monument into a silver family album when he placed his wife and five children atop the championship engraving. None holds a formal role with the team. Meanwhile, longtime equipment manager Bobby Gorman, defenseman Joel Nystrom…
