you can get one "free" article at a time. It's worth the time.
I've followed him for 200 years, yet he doesn't look a day over 70+, on politics and sports.

Very insightful and very knowledgeable.
Doesn't pull punches.
He's still around because the trump people can't understand what he writes.
To get access to all of his articles, you will need to subscribe and it's currently $25 per year and well worth it in my opinion.
But at least try it out for free.

EDIT:
The comments are extremely topical and from the well informed.
