A well-deserved smack!Ā  Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesperson for Obama, said in a statement that while the office ā€œdoes not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,ā€ the administration’s new ā€œbizarreā€ and

Good for Bill Ackman for drawing attention to this disgrace. I followed (and warned my readers about) Trevor Milton and the scam he ran at Nikola, highlighting Nate Anderson's outstanding work.

I watched South Park (on Paramount+) for the first time last night after a friend told me I MUST watch the first episode of the new season - and he was right. It's a BRILLIANT skewering of the Malignant Toddler!Ā  Trump fumes over ā€˜South Park’ roasting him, depicting him in bed

Olivia Reingold of The Free Press with an outstanding piece of journalism, based on reading all 16,100 of Mamdani’s tweets (including never-before-reported-on old accounts), documenting that he is, at his core, a RADICAL socialist on every issue – always has been, always will be:

This article from the front page of today’s NYT underscores the cruelty and idiocy of Trump’s immigration policy – a thriving business AND families (mostly U.S. citizens) destroyed, and for what??? ICE Took Half Their Work Force. What Do They Do Now? nytimes.com/2025/07/27/us/…

After seven months on the campaign trail and a month in Europe, I’m quite out of shape, so I’m going to have to apply all of these tips! How Can I Build Muscle as I Age? nytimes.com/2025/07/22/wel…

This is so grim. Summary: voters think Reps suck, but think Dems suck more. This is what happens when we mismanage the states and cities we control and, for example, nominate an obviously unqualified 33-year radical socialist to run our largest city… On 9 of 10 issues, voters

Mamdani has run a near flawless campaign – until now. It’s a sign of extreme overconfidence to think it was a good idea to not just leave the city but the country for an extended period with 100 days until the election for a second lavish wedding (following the one in Dubai). I’m

My buddy (and doubles partner) Griffin Stanton is a talented actor and has a great one-man show that Susan and I really enjoyed. Griffin is performing it again at 7:00pm on Friday, August 15 and Saturday, August 16 at The Bushwick Starr in Brooklyn – you can buy tickets here

I really enjoyed this one-hour Q&A Scott Galloway did recently, in which he critiqued/challenged the Democratic party, highlighted how young men are in trouble, etc. Navigating Disruption: youtube.com/live/JcYxNZOwO…

I love John Oliver, but he’s largely wrong in this segment, in which he calls to eliminate police departments’ gang databases. He correctly documents many terrible stories about how innocent people have wrongly been added to them, but the solution is more careful oversight and

Of the four big health risks – heart disease, cancer, diabetes and dementia – I’m most worried about the latter, so was heartened to read this: Healthy Lifestyle Can Help People at Risk for Dementia, Study Finds (nytimes.com/2025/07/28/hea…). The other health risk I face relates to

This NY Post editorial is exactly right: Mamdani’s beyond-cynical ā€˜defund’ flip-flop just shows what a lightweight he truly is nypost.com/2025/07/30/opi… Excerpt: It’d be one thing if Mamdani were maturing to a sincere appreciation for policing and the urgent need for improved

Some great advice and wisdom from my friend Scott Galloway: profgalloway.com/friending. Excerpt: Your goal at any age is to surround yourself with impressive, good, nice people. As you get older, though, the lanes in which you might feel comfortable narrow. The idea of going on a

We're in the Berkshires with Susan's family before driving today to Lake Sunapee, NH to spend time with my extended family. Yesterday I did a 5.6-mile hike/trail run on the Appalachian Trail, and this morning I did a 40-minute, 2.5-mile lap up and down Monument Mountain - it was
