The rage tweeting has already been done. The press will do everything they can to provoke additional responses, stir the pot and draw viewer attention for as long as possible. It could be quickly neutralized if Mr. Trump and his team developed a dignified response and cite it when Comey book...

I said above that I thought the Comey book would have little effect. That's if Trump is content to let it pass without drawing attention to it. If Trump and his aids continue to lash out against the book, the Comey book story will persist far longer than it otherwise would. If Trump declared the...

It is reported that Trump plans to pardon Scooter Libby. Many think this is to send a signal to key witnesses in the investigations. Whatever Trump's reasons may be, there is an aspect of pardons that is worth keeping in mind. If Cohen, Flynn, Manafort and/or others are pardoned, they admit...

Based on what little I've heard about the Comey book, I don't see it having much effect. Nothing significant was newly revealed. Few minds will change after the book is widely read and discussed. The discussion of the book, pro and con, will fill a few hours of cable TV talk and that will be...

Trump can fire Sessions anytime he wants to, for any reason or for no reason. Why has he not done so?

I do not think so and recent developments support my view. First, it's worth noting that Muller is a Republican who, even now, is highly praised by certain high-ranking Republicans. While other Republicans are critical, it's difficult to make a logical case against Muller on simple partisanship...

Observations: 1. The shoe is on the other foot. In the past, Attorney Michael Cohen had the luxury of being Trump's loyal pit bull because he and Trump had the power to make their opponents' lives miserable. Now, Trump is president and accountable to the rule of law under powers he never before...

I think not. I believe Trump will be impeached before he has a chance to run for a second term.

On June 12, 2107, I posted the following regarding Trump and the U.S. Constitution emoluments clause: And Today, "Judge rules suit against Trump over foreign gifts can move forward" (Fox News) The question of standing has been resolved in favor of the plaintiffs. More litigation will...

For any politician, the longer you are in office, the more opponents you develop. That's because it's impossible to maintain positions on the issues that the majority agrees with all the time. As developments play out and bills are passed or defeated, the number of people a politician offends...

Yet another example of how Trump picks the best people.

Trump said yesterday the U.S. plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on steel imports and 10 percent on aluminum. How much steel and aluminum will go into your next truck? How much of a price increase will you pay because of these tariffs? As these tariffs push your truck price higher, how much more...

A while back, I predicted that the Republicans who have the power to do so will vote to impeach Trump. One of the preconditions for that to happen is the erosion of the Trump base. While there has always been minor crumbling around the edges, erosion now seems to be accelerating. Anecdotal...

Former expediter, now gym owner.

Your are correct about Anytime Fitness. Enrollment fees vary by location because each club sets its own rates.

Popularity is a relative term. Anytime Fitness has over 3 million members, which makes it popular by any standard. There are other gym brands that have fewer locations but more members. The difference is they serve thousands of members per location. Most AF clubs serve hundreds. For expediter...

If your purpose is showers, $22/month additional to gain 1,000 more locations seems to make sense; especially if you are paying $12 to $15 for showers now. Most gyms are busiest before people go to work and after work. You'll find showers most available if you avoid the 7-9 am and 5-7 pm times...

Diane and I drove a 40' straight truck and used over 100 Anytime Fitness clubs around the country. More often than not, straight truck parking was easy. It was rare that we could not find a place to park near an AF gym. Most of the time we could spend the night or nights.

Longtime Trump Aid Roger Stone now shares my view that Trump is on the way out. A longtime ally of Donald Trump has already begun writing his political obituary. Political strategist Roger Stone is writing a book chronicling Mr Trump’s tumultuous presidency, and he already has a title: “The...

It's not about background checks. Sometime a local club will run a sale. People will join that club to get the sale price and then try to use the club near them. That's unfair to the nearby club because that person intends to use the nearby club all the time. The 30 day wait discourages that...
