Whenever Mrs. Dub is happy I am, too.

Today was a good day!

I have four. One -- met at 5 -- lived right behind my house; another -- met at 11 -- we both played on the same basketball team -- another was my college roommate, met at 19 (later died at 23), the last met at 24 at my second night job.

5. How did you meet your best friend?

When they do not tip people who clean the hotel room or serve in a restaurant.

Separate phone numbers for the police, fire and rescue departments. Also emergency rooms that were only open between 9 - 5. Real talk.

3. What is something that you grew up thinking was normal until you realized that it wasn't?

Scrambled eggs, bacon extra crispy, hash browns, hot chocolate and a diet drank

Doctors told me my late wife was going to die at 3:00 AM. She actually made her transition at 8:50AM. I have gotten up without a clock at 3AM ever since to have a quick prayer and that was 11 years ago. I go back to sleep and then get up at 5:30 to go to the pool and put in some laps. No clock.

For the family, the 1968 Ford Country Squire LTD with the fake wood on the side; stone profiling purposes the famed "Deuce and a Quarter," 1968 Buick Electra 225; for the environment the Datsun 510 and for Mrs. Dub and me the 1978 Datsun 240Z.

This is the necessary trouble, good trouble John Lewis lived. Thank you.

The struggle is real.

For all those so-called "progressives" who did not support the Harris/Walz ticket because she did not say their magic words on Gaza, after the gutting of reproductive rights for women in the United States . . . with Black women being those most vulnerable 😡

Trump Pardoned a Nursing Home Owner Who Owed Almost $19 Million to a Grieving Family Stories about pardons are often about presidential power. But what about people on the other side of that grace? The Coulson family may never receive millions from a wrongful death lawsuit it won year...

Elections have consequences.

Listen to and vote like Black women = problem solved.

When I am Governor — if you start chasing people, including U.S. citizens, we get to come after you.

Cross that line in California and we will investigate you. We will arrest you. And we will prosecute you.

This isn't stupidity.

This was deliberate.

Racism's been winning since 1619.

Everything Trump tells you is a lie.

Everything Fox News tells you is a lie.

See for yourself.

Simply tragic.

Yes, and a gun.

He had a gun.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
