"There are people, for example, who will not travel on the 13th day of any month…and even structure their decisions and lives around avoiding the number."

"A bad penny has a way of showing up, time and time again."

"There is good reason to worry about America."

"A week in 98-degree F with 98 percent humidity will make you wish you were knee-deep in snow. Better yet, go after President Trump leaves office…and you’ll have a better political climate, as well."

"People throw the term artificial intelligence around - AI for short - like a household word. But while pretty much all of us have heard it - even peppered it in our conversations - most of us can’t really say exactly what AI is…or exactly what it even does."

"Beyond policies and actions that have hurt America immeasurably, Trump has every appearance of suffering dementia…and a variety of mental illnesses."

"I really do wonder why anyone might think Canada would ever be a 51st state of the United States?"

"How much longer can the folks who voted for Donald Trump stand by him? That is more or less a rhetorical question because the answer is all-too-obvious."

"After decades of umpiring baseball games, I can tell you a sense of humour is indispensable."

"Twenty-five years or so from today, students of history will look back at the tipping point that signalled America’s decline as the singular world power with the most control of the fate of everyone on Earth."

"While Black men and other men of colour suffer from a deck stacked against them - and it is true that women face more discrimination than men - it is Black women and other women of colour who suffer the most today."

You have some time to develop an anti-biting strategy before summer gets here.

"It should go without saying…but I won’t…that certain genders and groups have long faced an uphill battle when trying to gain equal footing as human beings."

"A HeroRAT is a special breed, they can develop skills and talents that range from detecting land mines in war-torn nations to diagnosing tuberculosis in humans."

"It seems justice is something for the masses, for ordinary citizens, but not for the rich, white and powerful."

"Hey, folks it doesn’t matter that you go to church on Sunday…or do some nice things for those who look and act like you…if you sit idly by…with your ears and eyes tuned to Right Wing propaganda networks and watch as democracy in America fails."

"The Trump Administration’s insatiable appetite for cruelty — and its focus on retribution rather than governing — will drive Americans to demand change."
