Tom celebrates the life and influence of his friend, author Tom Wolfe, who died earlier this week.

Tom offers praise for President Trump for his handling of the North Korea situation but wonders how that will stand up against any findings from the Mueller Investigation. He also discusses how the last time he offered praise for President Trump, it demonstrated to him first-hand just how divided our country is politically.

Tom discusses why he feels that people’s vicious attacks on his family as a result of recent allegations against him show that these days there may be too much of an opportunity for people to express their opinions in the public square without consequence.

While President Trump’s cabinet looks like it could be named after a famous middle America truck stop called “Come and Go,” Tom reflects on the works of some great Americans who have come and thankfully stayed.

Despite all the political craziness in our country, Tom shares his thoughts on some good news for us to think about, including advancements with North Korea, a heroine pilot, and advancements in fighting terrorism.

The memory of an encounter with a homeless man has Tom thinking about how we can all come together to help the less fortunate living on the streets of cities across America.

Tom discusses the continued impact of both Martin Luther King, Jr., of whom we marked the 50th anniversary of his death this week, and the Apollo 8 astronauts.

Tom discusses how to properly consume the news on the internet through the
prism of his over 55 years of media experience.

Tom discusses how the digital age can be both a great aid, such as in identifying the Texas bomber, and a big issue, such as the Facebook data theft that may have played a role in the 2016 election. Regardless, Tom argues, we need better policing of the digital world.

Sure, Tom COULD talk about another week of craziness in the Trump White House…but why do that when March Madness is getting under way? And the annual tournament has Tom reflecting on some great basketball memories from his youth!
