When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

The statement claims that they’ve been deployed to protect ICE and federal property.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

My thanks to the LA Times for letting me write about the life of John Candy and two new projects (a documentary and a biography) that explore his legacy. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

'You never stop thinking about John Candy': How a pair of projects keep his legacy alive

The beloved actor, who would have turned 75 this month, is the focus of an eponymous book biography and "John Candy: I Like Me," a Prime Video documentary.
