My Advice To Graduates - Say Yes!
As a matter of fact "live life" is such a simplistic and cheap way of giving advice, so let me explain a little more ... say yes. Say yes to what life can offer you, and when it's hard, or scary, say yes again. Say yes to that adventure, say yes to that thing that is holding you back, say yes, and then say yes some more, because saying yes becomes your life story.
Can Biden Step Aside? Not As Easy As You Think
President Biden's performance in the first 2024 presidential debate is being called disastrous even by the most committed Democrats. Some influential left-of-center editorial pages are even calling on Biden to step aside as the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee. With over a month to go before Democrats officially make him their nominee, it's likely that the pleas for Biden to step aside will continue; they may even intensify. While it is possible for Democrats to dump Biden from the ticket, some legal and political hurdles stand in the way.

Presidential Debate: End of Democracy
The Democrats spend a great deal of time talking about "threats to our democracy". January 6, Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a few of the most common "threats" cited. At the South Shore Press we have consistently tried to frame that narrative through its proper lens. Our "democracy" is nothing more than the people's ability to choose their elected leaders and replace them when they fail to enact the will of those same people. As long as that process exists, and the elections are fair and honest, our "democracy" is intact. Period.
Biden Bombs on National Stage
If their strategy was to expose Joe Biden as unable to stand for reelection and make a move to replace him, the Democrats succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, given the president's stunningly poor performance in his debate with Donald Trump.
Don't Bet On Brandon
We don't often talk about non-sports things that we can bet on as professional sports bettors, but there are some exceptions. This past Thursday night was one of the exceptions because the market shifted so much. The first 2024 presidential debate was held last week and immediately following the conclusion markets around the world watched the lines shift because of the current US president's performance. Joe Biden, was by all accounts, a complete and utter disaster on the world stage. The Biden performance, of losing his train of thought and general uneasiness watching him fumble through the questions, led many political pundits to come to the conclusion that he would be replaced as the Democratic candidate before he even makes it to the election. The book makers however were a step in front of even the pundits.
