Taylor's Takes: Is it just me, or are people really flaky these days? I, too, would rather accomplish things at home than attend another birthday party. But that’s just life! TAYLOR CORMIER · Sep 18

Taylor’s Takes: Lindsay Clancy’s Witches Three cast hex upon Boston media The media is looking to redeem the other jurors by holding this one to a different standard because he seems to be an anomaly: a black man that isn’t doing what the white [wo]man is telling him. TAYLOR CORMIER · Sep 13

Taylor’s Takes: From 12 Angry Men to just one It seems that anytime a criminal trial captures the attention of the nation it gets likened to a movie. The Lindsay Clancy case, especially during the last week of deliberation by the jury, has most commonly been compared to 1957’s 12 Angry Men. If you haven’t watched it, you need to. It’s a… TAYLOR CORMIER · Sep 5

Taylor’s Takes: I’m not Trumped out, but he’s not helping President Trump is delivering on the promise that prompted many of us to vote for him in 2024: close the borders and stop the bleeding. Millions of illegal aliens, many of them horrific criminals, were allowed into the country with little to no vetting by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Trump made… TAYLOR CORMIER · Aug 28

Taylor’s Takes: Clancy trial shows society can’t handle courtroom drama anymore The mid-2010s were a golden age for court reporters in Massachusetts. In 2013, Boston saw the return of James “Whitey” Bulger to the city where he once ruled as the Irish underworld crime boss. In 2015, Dzokhar Tsarnaev, the tousle-haired youth a/k/a murderous anti-American terrorist, was also on… TAYLOR CORMIER · Aug 21

Taylor’s Takes: Healey forces abortion as key issue in governor’s race Abortion wasn’t an issue of the 2026 gubernatorial race in Massachusetts… until it was. Last week, Governor Maura Healey signed a blanket bill into law, allowing indiscriminate abortions up until birth. The previous limit on abortions in Massachusetts was 24 weeks. The photos of Healey signing the… TAYLOR CORMIER · Aug 16

Taylor’s Takes: Being ‘unenrolled’ doesn’t make sense in 2026 “Operation Chaos” is now the preferred option by Democrats. TAYLOR CORMIER · Aug 7

Taylor’s Takes: It’s disgusting that Lindsay Clancy even has a defense I have no sympathy for a mother who killed her three children, and neither should you. TAYLOR CORMIER · Aug 1

Taylor’s Takes: Are we already overreliant on AI? I don’t think we’ve had enough time with the technology to gauge its potential long-term effects. TAYLOR CORMIER · Jul 25

Taylor’s Takes: Swalwell either jaded or joyful at Platner’s demise It’s hard to know if Eric Swalwell was fuming during the Graham Platner scandals or cheering him on. Earlier this year, Swalwell’s campaign for Governor of California was derailed after multiple women stepped forward to accuse him of sexual assault, coupled with other deviant behaviors. The… TAYLOR CORMIER · Jul 11

Taylor’s Takes: Five ways NYC can beat the heat that Mamdani didn’t mention I have a few ideas outside of the public pool and community center suggestions that Mayor Madman mentioned… TAYLOR CORMIER · Jul 2

Endangered Birds vs. American Flags: A Disgraceful Attempt At Tampering Patriotism Residents of Plum Island in Newbury, Massachusetts, opened their mailboxes to find a letter from their town warning that displaying flags could potentially violate endangered species laws. CHRIS THOMPSON · Jun 30

Taylor’s Takes: We can’t have nice things At the very top of my street lives a very liberal couple. They drive Subarus or Subaru-adjacent vehicles. The cars are loaded with Hillary, Biden, and Harris bumper stickers. There are always yard signs planted in their front lawn advocating for wind farms and solar panels. I won’t get into what… TAYLOR CORMIER · Jun 27

Taylor’s Takes: Massachusetts Mike is missing (an opportunity) The fierce Republican side of me wants Mike Minogue to continue to ignore his primary opponent, Brian Shortsleeve. My former, but still present, unenrolled mentality demands that Minogue come out of post-convention hibernation to engage in a spirited debate. Leading up to the April MassGOP… TAYLOR CORMIER · Jun 12

Taylor’s Takes: Are Platner’s problems the feature and not the bug? Either the Democrat kingmakers aren’t doing their homework, or they are. And the latter is the scariest scenario. Graham Platner’s out-of-nowhere rise to the most-watched and most controversial Senate race of 2026 was either completely organic or he was handpicked because of his flaws, not despite… TAYLOR CORMIER · Jun 5
