I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

STILL can't believe I had the chance to interview two members of The Police (not about this album, mostly about the projects they were promoting)

A September to remember and lots of things to look forward to. At the All-Star break I never expected to see the Guardians anywhere close to the playoffs and yet that's exactly where they ended up AFTER WINNING THE DIVISION. It'll be a long off-season so ... Go Cavs!

"The Boys" season 5 trailer just dropped. If you thought the last few seasons were insane, this upcoming one promises to make you glad this is just a TV show and not real.

Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"
