Donald Trump, convicted felon! I was convinced there would be at least one holdout, making this a hung jury. I was wrong. But rarely have I been so happy to be proven so. Donald J. Trump has made history by breaking all kinds of presidential norms. So perhaps it’s fitting that he has made history… Read more.
Paying student-athletes Amateurism in college sports has always been akin to puritanism in escort services. But on Thursday, college sports finally gave up the charade. The NCAA and the Power Five athletic conferences agreed to pay student-athletes. And the legal right student-athletes won recently to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL) will be the… Read more.

But if you ranked 25 NFL positions by importance, the kicker would be no higher than 22. In other words, they’re among the most expendable players. Indeed, teams famously show little patience if a kicker lets… Read more.
Trump’s GOP A picture is worth a thousand words, and no picture affirms that adage more than the one featured below. It shows the cowards’ gallery of Trump’s VP wannabes heeding his summons. He wanted them to prove their loyalty by showing up at the courtroom where he’s on trial for paying hush money to a porn star. Any self-respecting… Read more.
Biden’s feckless threat President Biden threatened to stop supplying offensive weapons to Israel if it invades Rafah. Over a million Palestinians fled there after Israel invaded northern Gaza. Both Republicans and Democrats are making much ado about this threat: Republicans are accusing Biden of betraying Israel. They’re virtue signaling by drafting legislation in a vain attempt to force… Read more.

Worse still, like Trump, Cohen is such a reckless narcissist, he couldn’t care less he’s undermining the prosecutor’s case. So, I fully expect him to lose his cool on the stand this week and blow… Read more.

Perhaps Wilson was merely the first president shameless enough to exploit… Read more.
