CLOSE THE DEAL

It’s closing time, Joe. Like the man said in the Movie (Glengarry Glen Ross), “Always Be Closing.” You closed on that pretty girl you met on the beach, way back when you were on Spring Break, your first wife (RIP). You closed on that Senate race when you were only twenty-nine freaking years old. C’mon,

WAR AND DICK LEBEAU

Trump needs a war. And, Joe Biden needs Dick LeBeau. Let’s go to War first. Sheldon Adelson would prefer it that way. He’s 87 years old and Trump is his last best chance to destroy Iran. I’ve played the clip of Sheldon at Yeshiva University twice. Take another look. According to Adelson, the way to

BIDEN CAN LOSE

I can’t get John Kennedy or Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton or Barack Obama out of my mind. They are my idea of Candidates for President of the United States. Happy Warriors. Cut from the same cloth as the original Happy Warrior, Al Smith, four-time Governor of New York State, and the first Catholic nominated

A WAR IF TRUMP WANTS ONE

Benjamin Netanyahu and Sheldon Adelson have a war all teed up for President Trump if he thinks he needs a war to win re-election. Timing is elegant. Iran is available. Use the Debate Sept 29 to take command of the stage. Remind us of your love for Israel. Commence hostilities first or second week of

GIVE HIM A POTEMKIN

Trump deserves an award. Not a Nobel….please! But, a Potemkin, like in “gee Dad, its a Potemkin!” A Potemkin is an all purpose award that commemorates non events. Not to rush the story but a Potemkin in diplomacy is sort of like a Trump University Degree in Education. No one gets educated and no one

POKER: IT’S BEEN A WHILE

Between 1994-1999, I played a lot of poker. Mostly TEXAS HOLD’EM, usually in Casinos in Las Vegas and Legal Card Rooms in Southern California. I was totally emersed in the poker world. As near as I can recall, I played my last hand of poker Fourth of July Weekend 1999 at the Bellagio Hotel in

TRUMP’S CONVENTION AND THE WAR SOLUTION

Donald Trump lives in Washington, DC., but it’s not his town. His Party will meet there this week, but the town belongs to Muriel Bowser, the Mayor of the District of Columbia. She left her calling card on Black Lives Matter Plaza right on Trump’s Front Door. Take a look. This is what Trump sees

WHAT’S WHAT

I love to think about why things are the way they are. And, the power of belief. And the idea of hanging out with the Indwelling Spirit and all of that. I think it’s extraordinary that a group of people got together, way back when, and wrote a book (The Bible) that said “We are

JUST WIN BABY

Football fans will recognize the title from Al Davis, longtime owner of the Oakland Raiders. Joe Biden should have that phrase painted in bold letters on the ceiling in his bedroom so its the first thing he sees when he wakes up in the morning…which damm well better be before Six AM. You got work

CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITIES

I’m trying to figure out what’s likely to happen in our politics given the pandemic, Trump vs Biden, and African Americans demanding their rightful place in all aspects of American life. The best strategy I can think of, in order to make an informed guess about the future, is to eliminate things that clearly are
