A year ago, I woke up to the disturbing news that came out of Israel that, 50 years and a day after the outbreak of the Six-Day War, the country came under attack once again. This time, not by a nation, but an ideology. I’d like to say I was as mortified and activated as … Read more
We’re in the middle of yet another oppressive heat wave in some parts of La-La Land, and the calendar has barely skipped to fall. Naturally, that meant it was the optimal time for my place of employment to devote two aisles to a massive array of Christmas decorations and tzatchtkes, displacing the Halloween displays that … Read more
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

So like millions and millions of people, I watched what at the time we thought might very well may go down in history as the only time Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris will be in the same room, let alone speak to the American voters on why they are most qualified to run the … Read more
Probably one of the more uplifting stories I’ve seen in recent days was the one I saw via my Substack feed from Brian Stelter. For the non-subscribers out there (and you should rectify that ASAP), THE NEW YORK TIMES’ Benjamin Mullin let them in on the secret shortly after Stelter released it himself: Brian Stelter, … Read more
I honestly was both distracted and exhausted enough over the last few days where I still thought tonight was going to be the first time that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris would share a stage. 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.
