There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

41 years and two days ago, John Thompson, Jr., became the first coach to win an NCAA men’s basketball title. Not for nothing, but he was a DEI hire β€” a qualified candidate who just happened to be a person of color.

John Feinstein, sports commentator and best-selling author, dies at 69 He had a long affiliation with The Washington Post and wrote books including β€œA Season on the Brink,” about Indiana University men’s basketball coach Bob Knight.

John Feinstein, for me, was the person you idolized professionally and couldn’t believe you became colleagues with later in life. He was a legendary sports writer when there were such things, a prolific author and a Dad. Godspeed. Can’t believe you’re gone.

"Leave the ball, will you George?"

Gene Hackman was a Plaza Hotel doorman in NYC when his former Marine CO saw him and told him he'd amount to nothing. Within six months, he joined the Pasadena Playhouse, moved back to NY and changed his life. Godspeed a great one.

Come on, Ron, it's 2025 Alternative Fact World. You don't have to prove anything. You just have to say it over and over and over, until enough people parrot it. What a sad place we live in, no.

The truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged.

Hey, a lot of democracies and former nations would die for a run of 248 years. Be proud of yourself, America; it was a good country while it lasted.

The more the craziness of the past month heads toward the courts, the more I realize that someone must have signed a non-aggression pact with attorneys on both sides -- because they are the ones cleaning up the next four years.

I told Elon Musk his father should have used a prophylactic today on his site. I don't like that side of me. So I deleted my Twitter account. I'm here to stay.

the part we all misjudged was how alternative media begot alternative facts, and once the truth wasn’t in play anymore you could damn well make Joe Rogan the next Walter Cronkite.

Legacy media died in this election. They didn’t matter. Which having spent most of my career in legacy media is painful to say

Proud to have been baptized Episcopalian today. Proud to say my father, a recovering alcoholic, graduated from the seminary at 50 and served as a priest in the Anglican Church the last 20 years or so of his life.

Remind people this is no time to sit it out and be Switzerland. Call out the wrongs, celebrate the rights and help those who need it most. Change is certain. Growth is optional. We all gotta grow right now.

History will judge Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk as the trillionaire cowards, who never got the adage that with great power comes great responsibility.
