I have a piece in the new FARE Magazine. Issue 18 is all about Philadelphia. A lifestyle magazine that doesn’t highlight tourist spots and experiences; it features places that the city’s regulars know for their exclusivity, quirkiness, and quality. My story “Never Alone” premieres in this issue.

Trump is not the same guy he was in ‘16; people are beginning to see it. The Weave? No, the decline is what it is. It's no shame he’s 78, and it happens. Seeing that, can you say he’ll be fine for four years?

Republicans, please stop comparing Trump to Mandela. Mandela liberated a country and brokered peace talks that ended The Troubles in Northern Ireland. He won the Nobel Peace Prize and spent decades in prison. Put Trump behind bars for a decade...and then we can talk.

Republicans represent whosoever gives them money. Their rhetoric pays lip service to the far-right, however, they don't believe what they are saying. The answer is to vote Democratic, at least they believe in most of what they say.

$83.3 million award to E. Jean Carroll. According to NBC News. Wow.

The power of being oppressed is not the sympathy gotten from others, it is the strength you discover in yourself overcoming it.

Happy New Year, y’all.

The decision to remove Trump from the ballot is significant, even if it is overturned. It's important to stand up for your principles, even if you're criticized. Also, we will see if the "states-rights" faction of the SCOTUS will remain consistent with their beliefs or go partisan and overturn it.

‪Mussolini became a dictator to avoid being prosecuted for having a political rival killed. Why does that sound familiar? ‬

NBA: 76ers
NFL: Eagles

MLB: Astros (Dusty Baker is my favorite MGR.) Phils/Jays otherwise.
NHL: Montreal (My sentimental favorite.)

I was angered by a tweet that enslaved people benefited from slavery. Benefited themselves. By definition, that means a person has control of their life and labor. No one should be fooled by the assertion that enslaved people had that. Not even a snowflake revisionist who can not handle the truth.

I feel sorry for Clarence Thomas. After Yale Law, he expected to succeed. The elite law firms he applied rejected him. So, he blamed Affirmative Action, however, judging by his performance on the Supreme Court, his written opinions, engagement in oral arguments, perhaps, he just wasn't up to it.
