Progress on the trade deal with China. Hopefully that's good news for the market. CNN and MSNBC will be devasted if they don't get those shots of "empty shelves." So hopefully this would blow up and Americans would suffer. Instead it could actually work.

The Hershey Bears. They have won back-to-back AHL Calder Cups over the last two season. No easy task. Onward to this season. They were down 2-1 in the first round in the best of five and playing on road. They won game four and just closed out the series in game five. Moving on to the next...

Congrats Tom. Chattanooga is a great place for your son to live. I considered retiring there. Among other things, no state income tax.

My daughter is graduating from college tomorrow. That alone would be grounds for celebration but she had a long, tough road to it. She was born in a Russian baby hospital in Moscow where I don't think she had ever been outdoors when we adopted her around one-year old. She had mild autism...

I hoping the Canadian teams all choke again and the Stanely Cup stays in the U-S-A for three decades and counting. I'm pulling for the Caps.

People still complaining about getting the "real ID." The law was signed in 2005. You don't even really need to get it unless you fly and don't have a passport.

I never understood the necessity for the draft. We didn't have enough volunteers to field an army against Vietnam? That was a source of much of the dissent. Also allowing the North Vietnamese to simply move men and supplies down the Ho Chi Minh trail because it was beyond the boundaries of...

Watching the facial expression and body language of the Mayor of DC as she somehow ended up standing behind Trump while he discussed possibly reopening Alcatraz and paying illegal aliens to leave. I'm guessing she is not onboard for that. She wants that federal money, though.

What a disaster for LA fans this last week turned out. The LA Kings were up 2-0 in their series and lost four in a row after leading in every single game. That makes a record fourth straight year they have lost to the Oilers in the first round. The Lakers got a beatdown from MN who will play...

The Netflix documentary is very good. Surprisingly balanced with even Dan Rather providing a sort of middle of the road view. We didn't learn much. Forever being talked into these regional conflicts by politicians and military under false pretexts. Then being told if we just spend more...

No one can be serious about cutting spending and the debt unless the military, social security, and Medicare are in the mix. That makes up around 70% of the budget with another 10% in interest on the debt. If 80% of the budget is untouchable and even increases in spending, then the rest is just...

Making a big deal about cutting government spending and then proposing to increase the defense budget to over $1 trillion. Wiping away any savings in a spending tsunami.

The Kings dropped the third game in a row after leading in every game. Looks like they are going down for the fourth consecutive year in the first round to the hate Oilers. They were completely outplayed at home in game 5. Pathetic. A major choke job. The Lakers are likely on the way out...

Walter Googins' Baby Billy character on Righteous Gemstones. I've said it before but he is comedy gold. Every single word is hilarious. Even upstaging a spider monkey named Dr. Watson smoking a cigarette. No easy task.

The Navy somehow accidentally dropping a $70 million F18 into the sea off an aircraft carrier. Oops. Fortunately, it wasn't an F-22. The F22 costs around $400 million. It's hard to understand the economics of paying $400 million for a single fighter plane while the country goes bankrupt. We...
