This is one of those rare occasions when a letter is a work of art. Attorney Matt Sanderson set a new high bar for brilliantly-composed and utterly devastating letters when he penned a 3-page legal response to Rudy Giuliani...
Tony Schwartz authored "The Art Of The Deal" and is an astute observer of who Donald Trump is and what makes him tick. Several days ago, before James Comey's op/ed dropped Wednesday in the New York Times, Schwartz made...
Sorry, the “breaking news” in this submission is the “breaking news” that this country has conditioned itself to being run by an old-school, dictator-wanna be, cigar-chomping, medal-wearing, balcony-standing, impulsive, man-boy.
