Is Harris husband’s affair a big deal?
The tabloid Daily Mail thinks it is. They ran a big story here. Doug Emhoff (photo) admits he cheated on his first wife, but according to Politico, Harris knew about it she married him, and the Biden campaign knew about it when vetting Harris for vice president (see story here). “The incendiar[...]
You are what you eat
Trump is taking heat for this remark to black journalists: “I have known her a long time, indirectly, not directly very much. And she was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I did not know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn B[...]

The company J. D. Vance keeps
Until recently J. D. Vance was best known as the author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” which critics have called “poverty porn” (see article here). Trump’s pick of Vance as his 2024 running mate, and potentially Vice President of the United States, has brought more scrutiny of t[...]
