What Other Dirt Is in David Pecker's Safe?

The entrance of 'The National Enquirer' owner is a sign we're now knee-deep in the sleaze. If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       What Other Dirt Is in David Pecker's Safe?   Let us assume that what was in the powerful Pecker safe still exists somewhere. (If it doesn't, someone's going to jail for that, too.) Is there any reason to believe that the president* was the only one with material concerning him contained in it? What if there was stuff about, say, his primary opponents that could have been damaging if slipped sub rosa into the national dialogue? Suppose there was stuff about fellow Republicans that could have worked that same dark magic after he got elected?

Instead, this week is more for the sophisticated and chill consumers among us. There's a light and fresh look on Jordan's V, and there's a duo of black Air Maxes with a little bit of neon. Adidas teamed up with Japanese brand United Arrows & Sons for some surprisingly bold designs, while a collaboration between Nike and Premier Skate Shop looks more subtle than it is.

In a new interview with Indie Wire, Phoenix was dismissive of his upcoming gig. Read More           Need to Respond to a Hater? There Is Only One Insult to Consider.   Someone is going to come for your time today. They will arrive in your mentions uninvited, dead behind the eyes, with a series of barked cliches, and they will demand from you a response. Attention, these Lomanesque sophists will cry, must be paid. For example, you might have tweeted that fewer guns in circulation could possibly, maybe, be a reasonable step toward curbing the epidemic of gun violence in the country. Look at Chicago, they will say. This is how you will respond.

It was introduced by Republican Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma, nobody's idea of a liberal, and co-sponsored by Democrats Kamala Harris of California and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who are practically everybody's idea of liberals.
