In a complicated world, the best way to do good is to help the person God put in front of you.

@ThomasSowell I can understand if a lying con-man succeeds in politics or entertainment. I cannot understand how a lying con-man can become a billionaire in New York City business over decades of work. If I gave you $500 million, I bet you COULD NOT get a high rise with your name on it built.

With the World Cup in America coinciding with Pride Month this could go down as the gayest month in history.

@BuzzsawEJ @tritonpoker That's because he knows what the other guy has. And then he talks him off of it.

When I was the Air Force Military Aide to Bill Clinton (and again, that was not a political appointee position, it was a military assignment), I served daily with very young staffers who were appointed because of their efforts in the campaign or who their parents were.

I really enjoyed interacting with most of them. Bright kids from Ivy League school. But their naïveté and lack of experience showed. Dramatically.

One day I was walking across the White House “campus,” the “18 acres,” and I encountered one of the young female staffers. We chatted for a bit, and she asked me, “So, why did you join the military? Were your career options limited or were you forced to by a judge?”

I wanted to throat punch her, but I said, “No, ma’am, I volunteered.”

She asked, “But why? Lack of education? No other options?”

“No, ma’am, I volunteered. Really. Not only do I have a Bachelor’s but also an MBA.”

She asked again, “Then why?”

I shook my head and walked away. They simply can’t understand a higher calling. They are incapable of understanding that another human who would selflessly serve.

Therein lies much of the Democrat vs. military disconnect. They’re missing the patriotism chip.

@AJamesMcCarthy @Toy_Maestro I'm in for a 1/500th share if you can find the rest.

@simplymorgn But if you're in the aisle seat the window guy will leave the shade up and the sun will be all over your iPad screen.

@tritonpoker I also generally designate two/three as my automatic bluff hand just to force me to do it, and to pretend I've got KK.

@ggreenwald @kevin_mellyn You're describing the same thing that happened to Beto O'Rourke when he faced Cruz for Senate. He got so much Holywood hype he started believing it himself. Now he won't go away.

@ijbailey You seriously buy into the idea that all the mail in ballots before election day leaned toward Bass, but the bulk of mail in ballots after election day favored the third place candidate?

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

I actually don’t care who’s LA Mayor. I just want to hire someone who is willing to bring on an adequate number of @LAPD for a city this size; properly equip the @LAFD; pick up the trash in the streets and on the freeways; get rid of all homeless encampments and put the mentally ill people who light fires, harass us at red lights, walk onto the freeways, etc into treatment; uphold existing laws and punish the increasing crime; fill potholes and file down the tire-popping ridges in the roads and freeways; shutdown and prosecute street take-overs that block traffic and scar the intersections; and stop “losing” billions of our tax dollars on various unfinished city projects.
It’s a very low bar.

@spencerpratt was the only person in this race who planned on doing something about any of it. I’d be fine if Bass as the @MayorOfLA had been interested in doing any of that the past 4 years. I’d be fine if @nithyavraman had gone in this direction during her years in City Council. But now it seems they want us to believe that most of the people in LA just love the city as the mess that it is, and in fact want the very people who made it this way to continue on and make it even worse.

Ok. I don’t believe you at all. But, I guess we’ll all get to watch you make a mess of the Olympics and any other event (natural or planned) that occurs here. It’s remarkable that competence is in such short supply.

@evanbirnholz @snood And of that fingernail polish company whose name I can never remember even though I've seen it a hundred times.
