If anything sums up the difference in significance and ultimate impact of this debate versus the prior one, the choice of venue should speak volumes. When Madame Vice President and Fat Orange Jesus duked it out last month, they did so at the pristine National Constitution Center in Philadelphia which, as USA TODAY’s Phaedra Trethan … Read more
It was a pretty busy weekend for our respective binary choice tickets. The big guns effectively chose their personal comfort zones. Madame Vice President stayed close to home and managed to coax $28 million more out of an entertainment industry that continues to fire staffers, move productions out of her home city, state and country … Read more

After all, even if one Googles that thought you’ll be prompted with this article, dated on the 3rd of the … Read more
Based upon the statistics I’ve seen, you’ve more than likely been watching at least some portion of what transpired this week in Chicago, where the Democratic National Coronation–er, Convention–has just concluded. There were some truly beautifully orchestrated and inspiring moments, ultimately culminating in Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech for her party’s nomination that her supporters saw … Read more
