07/27/22 You are now officially in “check,” Donnie

If the DOJ investigation into January 6 and all of its sinister conspiracies can be compared to a chess match, Donald Trump is now in “check.” Garland is coming for you, Donnie. And your “King” is about to fall.

It’s now apparent that the United States Secret Service was an active participant in this outrage. The IG says the Secret Service can’t investigate itself. But now there is evidence that the IG’s house isn’t clean, either, and shouldn’t be trusted to investigate the Secret Service. Never did I think I would see this day in the United States.

And speaking of sadly symbolic, I can’t think of anything as telling about the state of the world than the pending fate of the International Space Station. That has been a superlative human achievement. See, this is why we can’t have nice things.

The truth is there’s no good reason for Pelosi to go to Taiwan. But neither can we now appear to bow to the Chinese. Yeah, that’s a dilemma.

Look, I want to get Brittney Griner home. She’s an American citizen. But I do not consider Brittney Griner to be a “heroine,” either.

So, who’s gonna be the Dem nominee for president in 2024? Because it ain’t gonna be Joe Biden.

Hey, if it walks like a recession, talks like a recession, quacks like a recession and freaks people out like a recession…75 percent of DEMOCRATS now don’t want Biden to run.

But, hold on. Who’s gonna be the GOP nominee? Because it ain’t gonna be Donald Trump.

Hey, I’m just asking, MTG? How can you be a “Christian Nationalist” when you are not a Christian and obviously hate our nation? This whole “Christian Nation” lie is rooted in historic racism and Whites’ fear of “replacement.” All of it. How’s that for bottom-line analysis?

I think Aaron Rodgers does Nicholas Cage better than Nicholas Cage does Nicholas Cage. What do you think?

Paul's Bio

I clearly have the attention span of your median fruit fly.Look! Airplane!

Sorry. I’m back.

It’s both a curse and a blessing. I’ve never bought this stuff about, “He who dies with the most toys wins.” But I do think that a wide range of life experiences helps us grow as people, and helps us better relate to other people. I’ve been fortunate. And I am beyond grateful.

I show up on time. I go like hell. I’m a good listener. I hold myself accountable. I own my mistakes. And I have a natural and an insatiable curiosity. I’m never afraid to say, “I don’t know,” when I don’t. But then I try to find out.

The flip side is I’m a lousy ballroom dancer and my clothes sometimes fit me funny.

Stuff matters to me. I care. But while I take that stuff seriously, I try hard to never take myself seriously. As a result, I have sometimes been told, “Paul, it’s hard to tell when you’re serious and when you’re just having some fun. Which is it? Serious or fun?”

My answer is “yes.” But I think that is a legitimate criticism. I promise I’m going to work on that.

This has been the quickest and strangest half-century I’ve ever experienced. During that period, I’ve been afforded amazing opportunities in news and sports journalism across all platforms. I have taught wonderful students at the high school and collegiate level. Always, I learned more from them than they did from me. I’ve been a high school administrator. I spent ten seasons as a high school varsity football coach. I’ve been an advertising executive. I’ve hosted nationally syndicated television entertainment shows. In maybe the biggest honor I ever received, I was selected by NASA to be “Chet The Astronaut” for the “Land The Shuttle” simulator at Space Center Houston. (All I can say there, is “Do as I say, not as I do.” I put that thing in the Everglades more often than not.) Most recently, I just wrapped up a decade as a television news director, during which time our teams distinguished themselves in holding the powerful accountable, achieving both critical and ratings success.

What does all that mean? It means I am profoundly grateful. It also means I’m ready for “next.” So here we are. Radically Rational. It’s an idea I woke up with in 2017. I scribbled “Radically Rational” on a piece of notebook paper and used a magnet to stick it on our refrigerator. I saw it every day, and it just would not leave me alone.

I am second in charge at Radically Rational, LLC. My wife, Jo (also known as BB), is the president. Clearly, I have failed in my attempt to sleep my way to the top of this organization.

I hope you will learn that I’m loyal as a Labrador. But I will admit that this doggie can bite every now and then. My promise to you? I will show up on time. I will go like hell. I will listen to you earnestly and attentively. I will hold myself accountable. I will never be the least bit hesitant to say, “I don’t know,” when I don’t.

But then I’ll try to find out. Let’s do it.
