Checkmate Time

In its 1,500 years of existence, chess has been used as a tool of military strategy, a metaphor for relationships — and a measure of genius.

The game of chess is often quiet. Whether playing in an outdoor park or inside the house or the senate the only racket during a professional match could be the sound of the occasional whisper coming from a member of the audience.

Washington is now the focus of the new board game, which has given the GOP political whiplash after losing control of The White House as well as both houses of Congress.

RIP Larry King

He was a native New Yorker, but his career took off in Miami at WIOD the Wonderful Isle Of Dreams. I met Larry during my early Miami Radio days. Although some say that talk is cheap, I say he was the most expensive.

The broadcasting legend has died at the age of 87. Over his 65 years as a media hound, King reportedly earned many prestigious awards and successfully conducted countless memorable interviews.

The only generalization that is true is the thousands of predictions of the end of times, they were all wrong. Take Y2K it was a non event. How about the Mayan calendar ending the world in 2012, we are still here. Now comes Q. Where did Q come from and why is Q anonymous.Over the last year as a retired person I have spent all too much time watching television. To the extent of watching shows I never would have watched before.

Sports superstar Henry Louis Hank Aaron, Hall of Fame baseball great, has died at the age of 86. Rest in peace, Hank Aaron.

Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s all-time home run record and lived his life as an ambassador to the game. Recently @MLB added Baseball Negro League records to its official stats, meaning Mr. Aaron hit 760 home runs, more RBIs, total bases, & All-Star games than anyone who ever played America's favorite pastime.

The White House cleanup after Donald, Melania, Barron, and the entire Trump clan’s departure cost Americans over $127,000 so far. But how will it take to irradicate ignorance, bellicosity, and meanness from the ambiance?

Serpent Fidelis

Semper Fidelis is a Latin phrase that means always faithful. It is in use as a motto for towns, families, schools, and military units. It is thought that it originated from the phrase that Roman political figures used at the end of their intervention. Serpent Fidelis is the consistent snake. Everyone knows that snakes breed in swamps, he is the swamp and his ability to dupe the voters into believing his lies was his administration’s most surprisingly successful grifts.

California writer @TheAmandaGorman became the youngest poet in American history to speak at a presidential inauguration.

The inaugural reading of a poem started with Robert Frost and John F Kennedy. We don’t think it was done before then. That’s why we post the list of the inaugural poets which is different from the dead poets laureate list.
