It's deliriously funny that The Washington Post jumped into a cauldron of boiling angst by refusing to endorse Kamala Harris for president. The decision is deeply weird. It's like McDonald's declining to advocate for hamburgers.

We all know The Washington Post has a staff full of Democrats writing for an audience that's mostly Democrats (and ...Read more

No one in the history of politics or political media has my background.

Long before I got into politics, I was branded by the national media as "America's Oddsmaker" and "the King of Vegas Gambling." CNBC, Fortune and The Wall Street Journal profiled my life. And the Las Vegas Walk of Stars awarded me a 180-pound granite star on world-famous ...Read more
