THE LIGHTER SIDE

God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Joe Biden’s campaign aides urged him to limit the length of his speeches to save his voice for the campaign ahead. Like Trump and Bernie, Joe can stand up there and talk forever. During his last speech, Biden was interrupte­d 39 times by applause and three times for bathroom breaks.

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio joined the presidenti­al race Thursday competing with the other socialist, Bernie Sanders. A victory by either of these two candidates would produce a real nightmare in my racket. Jokes about socialism aren’t funny unless the government says they’re funny.

President Trump blamed the declining revenue at the Trump Hotel in Chicago on business travelers’ perceived fear of street violence. It’s totally unfounded. Last weekend Chicago had 60 shootings resulting in only six deaths, so you’ve got nine chances in 10 of it only being a flesh wound.

Joe Biden flew into Los Angeles last week where he raised a million dollars from Democratic power players in the entertainm­ent industry. If you live in Beverly Hills, it really doesn’t matter if you adopt a dog or host a fundraiser for a presidenti­al candidate. Either way, your carpet gets ruined.
