Well, I would like to introduce my mouth to a crow because I need to eat some. Donald J. Trump, billionaire real estate mogul, reality TV star and political novice, in his first foray into politics, will be the President of the United States. For months Trump told us that the polls were wrong, that […]
Last night, 40 million viewers were riveted by one of the most exciting World Series games of all times as the Chicago Cubs erased 108 years of disappointment by winning their first World Championship since 1908 in a thrilling 10-inning victory over the Cleveland Indians, who were trying to erase a 68-year drought of their […]
Increasingly over the last several weeks, Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has been on the stump talking about the “rigged system” that he is running against. A Trump cynic would say merely that he has started to prepare his narrative in advance of a likely defeat on Election Day. After all, Trump is a “winner.” […]
