There really is nothing worse than the morning commute into NYC. It almost doesn't matter what time you leave, you are always going to have that moment when you are sitting in standstill traffic and that second cup of coffee is turning your stomach sideways and the only hope you have is that the guy will let you off to relieve yourself in the middle of route 3.

John Fetterman is making me long for Joe Manchin which is a feat nobody expected. He's not a gigantic piece of crap but to appear on video alongside Trump to stump for a Republican is everything we the fear mongers always warned us about him but in this case it's true. I'd still rather have him representing Pennsylvania than a true Republican but the fact he now hold so much power, and will have even more if the democrats were to somehow get the senate back is making me ill.

LIV Golf filing chapter 11 isn't shocking and this is one of those cases where there are no victims. I hate the players c the Trump, the tour operators and the Saudi sovereign wealth fund. It's one of those few times where you actually root for a company do go belly up.

Trump's uniform reveal of the United States Space Force hit like a Nazi dud in a way only he can. Not only was this a brandy nobody asked for, what we got force fed is worse than we could have expected. But Trump is so unaware than his entirety just flocks to doing something blatantly racist or demonic.

Trump was photographed without his makeup and his hairdo the other day and he looked sort of normal. He's still a total ogre but the fact that he's not covered in male makeup is a positive and means that only his vile personality, complete ignorance and incompetency are national embarrassments.

The summer ending with these lusciously insane gas prices is absolutely killing me. I spent $75 to fill up my car just so I can get to work is not sustainable for most Americans and it's all self inflicted by a man who doesn't understand the consequences of his actions. Just insane how many self owns this administration has had.

There's a new study which tells you that alcohol is bad and another one that says that water is wet. What shocks me is not that alcohol is tied to cancer but they there are always these other studies which tells you that drinking wine leads to all sorts of other benefits. Nothing has been studied more than alcohol and we still know nothing definitive.

I haven't totally followed the Kawhi Leonard saga but the fact he got off with a slap on the wrist while the Clippers lose five first rounders and Steve Ballmer is suspended for a year, seems a bit off. In not advocating for less time or a lower penalty for the Clippers brass but a more stinging punishment for Kawhi seems obvious. We all know it takes two to tango and he was well aware of the underhanded shenanigans but somehow we have blinders on for these athletes

I'm all about making more green space but I don't totally get these seesaws in the middle of Broadway.

We will go down as gestapo state when it's all set and done. Trump has turned our country from one which saw liberty and freedom as important pillars to moving to full on tyranny. I don't know what the end result is but I'm convinced that when you cross this rubicon, there is no going back

Apparently we can now just strong arm counties into giving their national recourses to American firms after we take out their president. This bodes well for Trump's buddies but proves again that we are becoming a global pirate. We aren't even being subtle anymore with the benefits not even going to the US but just some shell company probably controlled by Kushner

Google Maps proved to be spineless losers with their adherence to Trump's latest ridiculous demand.

Today is the anniversary of one of the biggest controversies the White House has ever had to endure. It wasn't about sending our young boys to war; it wasn't about mishandling a national disaster or for tanking the economy. Republicans got their panties in a bunch for something much more sinister. Something so corrupt that we have never gotten back to our original nationals mission. It's been 12 long years

There is nothing more disturbing about walking into an airport and finding some dude with sleeping. I'm not saying just a dude who dozed off but a guy who takes his shoes off, puts out a blanket and is just snoring in public place. Either get a hotel or find a broom closet but nobody need to see you drool all over the seat

Trump is just a fool at this point. His renaming of Lake Ontario isn't cleaver or funny or even good diplomatically, is just lame. I'm so done with an administration that can't take itself seriously, a president who is this petty and fellow citizens who find joy in running the country likes it's a season of Celebrity Jackass

A present announce mission accomplished in the Middle of East when it's nowhere near done sounds eerily familiar. I know we weren't going to get into any endless wars but somebody forgot to inform the Iranians. For a country who has had egg on their face before, you'd think we'd be little more check.

Trump got us into this Iran mess and instead of admitting defeat he's doubling fine with his idiotic economic nuclear option. He's now going to try to punish China for trading with Iran which will lead to more economic pain for Americans all for his vanity war project. I don't know how many miserable sailors have to beg for support, how many American troops need to come back in body bags nand how many economic disasters we need this year but I'm quite frankly sick of it And that is not to mention the absolute suffering the people who are directly affected by this are going through, all so our president can stroke his flaccid ego with his tiny hands.

There is no more toxic bottle of liquor than Chinese "white wine". I've been here a dozen times and to this day, I don't understand how -and why- people drink this stuff. It's basically jet fuel in a bottle and they drink it like it's juice. I've had multiple shots of it tonight and the only good thing is that whatever throat pain I've had this week has now been completely disinfected.

The choice of food in China is always a bit odd and the language barrier doesn't help but when I was offered what I believe is penguin yesterday, I wasn't sure what the heck to do. You don't want to insult anybody but the idea of eating an animal with the personality of a penguin is just not exactly appetizing. It could very well have been another bird but at that point it was just too late.

As a runner, China is a tough place to come as the air quality often makes it so you can't walk across the street, let alone go for a run. In fairness, it's better than it was and I usually run on a treadmill. Secondly, since I'm usually only here for a few days, it's manageable but these poor people live like they are in the back of the airplanes in the 1980s

I've travelled around the world on business and I have to honestly say, I've never felt compelled to shower at the airport. There are lounges which offer this but to think I'm going to get butt naked and hit a communal shower sounds like something I can't imagine anybody actually does. Then that thing into a private crapper and it'll be used constantly

Half the time in China you don't know what you are eating. The other half of the time you know damn well and you want to puke thinking about it. I've had bull balls, jelly fish and chicken hearts and can't say I'm a huge fan of any of it. Their steak tastes like chicken, their chicken tastes like fish and their fish tastes like your sock.

I'm shocked at the amount of smoking you still see in China. When the rest of the world has started to recognize the health risks, in China with the pollution, they believe that breathing through a filtered cigarette is actually safer than just breathing in the air.

You just have to love coming off a 14.5 hour flight and then having to navigate the maze at Pudong airport which makes DeGaul feel desirable. The tunnels and trains and hallways and escalators just keep going like you are in an escape room. Then between the people shoving, everybody yelling and fellow passage cutting you in line and invading your space, it's actually a relief when you step outside in the 95F humidity.

Nothing gets you ready for international travel to China quite like needing to board at Terminal 1 at JFK. This is the terminal that has been left behind by everybody. It's dark, it's crowded, it's poorly ventilated and somehow every store is Hermes or Gucci Once you get through the maze at security you are greeted with a full pat down which while you are sweating like a slob watching your laptop just sitting there waiting for somebody to just walk off with it.

I have one Big Mac per year and have to say it's always a bit disappointing. The flavor is fine, the experience is passable but the meat quantity is nonsensical. Over the years they have cut the amount of food down so often that you are basically left with two McDonald's cheeseburgers.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why Trump continues to get the kind of support from military families. He's a draft dodger, his kids haven't served, he insulted war heroes and he keeps sailors out in the ocean on their gigantic tuna can for his stupid war. Why we would support him now or ever is beyond comprehension.

Trump fled on a food cart while the rest of his staff and dozens of reporters were sent up on Air Force One with imminent danger. I get protecting the president but the idea that they'd send a plane out there when there were credible threats is both malicious and criminal. I'm not saying POTUS doesn't need extra protection but we shouldn't send the rat of his team up in his plane as some decoy.

I ordered Chipotle today and when i was standing there I was shocked again by how little you get for $15. I sort of complained to the kid working the line who said he gives you 4 ounces of chicken which is basically a shot glass with of protein.

As much as I am deathly scared of Trump running again, there are times when I see his numbers and wonder how badly he'd lose In an honest election.

Or at least I'd like to believe that to be true

How did we go from the US being the policeman of the world to now waiting on Iran who is now demanding that we meet commitments before opening the Strait. This tells you all you need to know, we are now at the mercy of a regime we have no control over, a people we have no sway with and a world who no longer sees us a leader. We've lost our laser focus and now are a rudderless ship trying to get through a narrow water way with enemies all around.

SpaceX "accidentally" hit the moon with a rocket and people are acting surprised. I'm sure this was intentional as Musk likely wanted to see if he could hit a moving target like that. I'm also sure that the reason the sand on my beach is now much wider on one side of the beach and much shorter on the other side has to do with the fact he screwed with all the waves because of the jarring of the moo.

I woke my family up a at 4:30 this morning to rush them to the airport with the hope to get onto a flight for a much needed week away. Sadly for us, nobody got the message as Mother Nature threw our plans for a loop which meant we sat on the tarmac for 4 hours to only be sent back to the gate. Sadly after that it was more of the same as we reboarded and then spent another 2 hours waiting to finally take off. I've gotten on a plane and10 hours later I'm in Asia but apparently that os also what it takes to get to Bermuda.

Trump won another golf championship at his own golf course playing against sycophants and hangers on. He then insulted those same high waisted pants wearers while gloating about his natural ability. Nobody cares that he cheats, uses endless mulligans, kicks his ball into the fairway or whatever else because this is a presidency about tribute. We aren't asking him to play by the rules because keeping Kim Jung Trump happy is all that matters.

The fact we can't even agree on the casualties in Iran tells you we've lost the narrative. We know Trump doesn't like soldiers who get captured or who die, so this can't be a good sign. When he's comparing it to Vietnam and Iraq, what he doesn't recognize is that he's comparing it to the two biggest embarrassments for our country, even if you hope to paint today positively. But we don't care as long as he can tell somebody that we won.

Maybe next time I'm asked for my religion and I tell them I worship at the temple of Zeus
