With two debates completed and less than 6 months until the Iowa caucuses officially kick off the primary season, I pose the following question: is former Vice-President Joe Biden the Democratic party’s best choice to be their nominee and take on President Trump? The Democrats have a field of 24 candidates for President, probably the […]
Some thoughts about the two CNN Democratic debates this past Tuesday and Wednesday. In the first debate (on Tuesday), the first 30-35 minutes were about health care. It was a battle of the moderates (Steve Bullock, John Delaney, John Hickenlooper, Tim Ryan, and Amy Klobuchar) against the left (Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders). The main topic […]
Some basic takeaways from the release of the Mueller report, which I intend to read in its entirety when I have five-six hours with nothing else to do. 1. The report only refers to “collusion” by stating that “collusion” is not a “term of art in criminal law.” The Mueller team investigated “conspiracy,” a crime […]
America lost a great man yesterday when Arizona Senator John McCain passed away at the age of 81. For over a year, McCain had battled a brain tumor and yesterday, the battle was lost. McCain was a war hero, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, and U.S. Senator for over 3 decades. John Sidney […]
Today House Republicans approved a massive overhaul of America’s tax code and all that’s needed to make it the law of the land is a signature from President Trump. The bill, which lowers tax rates for corporations from 35% to 21% and lowers income tax rates across the board for American citizens, is the most […]
A fortnight ago, I had the privilege of completing the “career grand slam” of golf attendance when I traveled across the pond and spent three days at The Open at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England. Sunday’s final round was, of course, one for the ages, as Jordan Spieth captured his third different major championship. As […]
I was born in New York City in 1967 but, because my parents didn’t care about the game, I didn’t start following baseball until 1975 when I discovered trading cards through my 3rd grade classmates. I only vaguely recall this, but the first time I watched the All-Star game was in 1975 and it was […]
In a young administration that has never lacked for news or controversy, President Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday has turned into the news story of the year, with twists and turns so bizarre that a Hollywood script writer might reject some as being “not believable.” Without knowing what future years […]
Hard to believe that we are a mere 108 days into the administration of President Donald Trump. After mostly keeping my mouth shut, I can’t help but weigh in on what’s transpired over the first 15 weeks of the Trump Administration. Whether you love him or loathe him, we are at a pivotal moment in […]
I started watching the Masters at the age of 11, having taken up the game of golf a year earlier. My first Masters was the 1979 classic in which Fuzzy Zoeller defeated Tom Watson and Ed Sneed in a playoff. Since that spring morning, I’ve watched the tournament every single year. For the last seven, […]
