By now, everybody's heard that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, also of "Shark Tank" TV fame, has done away with the singing or playing of the national anthem before basketball games and that he's also declined to tell why. The 11-14 Mavericks suck, anyway. Published February 11, 2021

Donald Trump could easily steal Republican voters for new party

Roughly 70% of Republicans said in a new poll that they'd either definitely or "maybe" join a political party formed by Donald Trump. As Bernie Sanders might say: That's yuuge.

‘Vaccine passport’ is outrageously unconstitutional

To impose a vaccine as a condition of traveling is to suggest that government knows best what is best for an individual's health, and therefore has the right to strip that individual of the power to self-determine.
