I foolishly thought Trump would exit the White House and step directly into federal custody. I still don’t know why that never happened. I foolishly thought his convictions would disqualify him from candidacy. I still don’t understand why there have been so few. I foolishly thought principle would overcome...

My nickel is on a Harris win, very possibly with room to spare. But to preface today’s remarks with some context: This could be the closest presidential election since 1876 A lot of state poll results show ties. So are they tied because of voters — or pollsters? There...

I don’t even remember how I got roped into the writing of the weekly newsletters. I’m sure I volunteered, but I don’t recall the circumstances whatsoever. I know I was at the 6 in Burbank, and writing the newsletter for the entire three-building complex (the Media North 6, the...
