Donald Trump braved a Q&A forum at a Black Journalists convention Wednesday. He pointed out Kamala always campaigned as a South Asian in California before she turned black four years ago. This is a chance for Democrats to say that global warming is real if it can turn brown people black.

Kamala Harris was cited by critics for hosting segregated fundraisers online Tuesday. This past week, she's hosted Black Women for Kamala, White Women for Kamala, Black Men for Kamala and White Dudes for Kamala. She can always serve as Governor of Alabama on Throwback Thursdays.

NBC Sports reports that the TV ratings for Paris Olympics this week drew double the viewership of the last Olympic Games in Tokyo. And some of the newly-added sports in Paris are real rating grabbers. I admit I didn't watch the Games last week but apparently they've have added woman beating.

The Paris Olympics was ripped by Italy's Prime minister for allowing an Algerian biological man to pummel Italy's female boxer in the ring. This is just insane. If biological men are allowed to box women there's time for P. Diddy to fly to Paris, wear a wig and bring home the gold in Women's Boxing.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he hopes to re-sign Dak Prescott with the team when his contract comes up next year. Dak's top-notch character sets a good example for some of his rowdier teammates. Dallas Cowboys trading cards are the only ones that feature both the front and the side view.

Boeing named engineering visionary Kelly Ortberg its new CEO tasked with repairing Boeing's one-disaster-after-another image. The disasters occurred so often they've stopped being news. Last night, while driving to work I put my phone on Airplane Mode and my front door blew off.

President Biden was joyful Thursday announcing a prisoner swap with Russia that brought home Americans jailed in Moscow. In the trade-off the U.S. received 16 hostages in exchange for the U.S. giving up 8 Russian prisoners. It was the first surplus the Democrats have run since Bill Clinton's second term.

Vladimir Putin greeted the criminals he received in Thursday's hostage swap when they landed in Moscow Thursday. Back in 2003 I was at a White House reception for Putin and I chatted with him and found he has a nice sense of humor. At one point I made Putin laugh so hard he promised to kill me last.

Donald Trump and Kamala addressed big crowds last week as the rhetoric began to get bitter and personal. That goes for everybody. I'm campaigning every night onstage for King Charles to forgive us and take us back, and I can just hear Trump pointing out that Queen Camilla slept her way to the top.

Kamala Harris jumped onstage at a rap concert in Atlanta by Megan Thee Stallion Tuesday and gave a 20 minute speech to the hip-hop crowd laying out what she plans to do when she's president. Kamala delivered the speech in a hilarious fake ghetto accent. Some people just can't hold their liquor.

Donald Trump, who was already wounded once this month, went to Chicago Wednesday to face a hostile journalist panel. It reminded me that new 3-D TV is just incredible. Last night I went to sleep watching a Chicago White Sox game and when I woke up I'd been shot and my wallet was missing.

The L.A. Times reports Kamala has veered sharply to the center by backing a strong border and law and order, supporting fracking and opposing Medicare for all. It's the most dramatic makeover since Saul became Paul. A Google search confirms that Kamala Harris did not exist until two weeks ago.

The FDA issued a post answering questions about labeling on prescription drugs Thursday. My girlfriend just broke her leg and I‘ve been picking up her prescriptions. Whenever I read a label that states alcohol may intensify the effects of this medication, I never know if it's a warning or a suggestion.

The New Yorker magazine released a new list of modern conversational etiquette to allow people to co-exist gracefully in contentious times. Good manners are the key. A nationwide survey says the three most difficult things for Americans to say are -- I'm sorry, you are right, and Worcestershire Sauce.

The New York Times reports the Middle East is on the verge of an all-out war between Israel and Iran and its clients. The Ayatollah ordered Iran's military to send missiles over Iraq into Israel Wednesday after Israel sent a missile over Iraq into Iran. It's the first time Iraq ever celebrated Passover.

Israel launched a targeted cruise missile into Iran Wednesday and killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh who was in Teheran for Iran's presidential inauguration. As they say in the Middle East, that's show business. One day you're all over the news, the next day you're all over the sidewalk.
