I’ve been working as a reporter for a long time and sorry to see my profession is unappreciated by more people then ever. I’ve made stops in Staten Island, Syracuse, Albany, Detroit, DC and Montana. Love theater and singer songwriters.

Yes. Some “influencers” are being paid to back candidates. Hard to believe? No. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/29/u...

We’ve decided not to attend the Met Gala this year. As you know, it is sponsored by Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos. Jeff Bezos has done many bad things. Editors Note: This guy never has and never will attend The Gala.

Court TV got rid of some great hosts and correspondents because of a recent change of ownership. Many, if not all these hosts were attorneys. I can’t help notice that there are no more women hosts on this station.
It would be like only seeing men hosts on The View.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

Starting to do my taxes and upset that H & R Block is referring to Trump's/GOP tax bill as the Big Beautiful Bill. It might have reduced my taxes, but that is inconsequential to the harm that bill and others pushed by Trump have done to our nation and the world.

It was the longest State of the Union speech ever — but that doesn’t do it justice. It seemed like it went on for days.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Anyone else noticing on YouTube, images of actors from classic movies, sitting next to AI generated images of themselves with angel wings, looking as they did around the time they died.
I don’t know whether to like it or hate it.
