Due to my co-host, Tracy Fort, fighting bronchitis and it worsening in recent days, we've decided to cancel today's show, which was regularly scheduled for 3:30 to 5:30 pm EST. With her health being our main focal point at this time, it's difficult to determine when we'll air our next show. Hopefully she'll get to feeling better soon and we'll be able to air an episode before Labor Day weekend, but my gut is telling me that's quite unlikely. I'll be sure to update readers/listeners when I find out something new. In the meantime, you can listen to old episodes of ours at this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thetracyfortshow You can also follow us at these two sites: https://twitter.com/TracyFortShow https://www.facebook.com/TheTracyFortShow/ Lastly, if you want to continue hearing Tracy and I, you can donate money to our show/cause here: https://www.gofundme.com/TheTracyFortShow

Due to a tweet of mine concerning NASCAR driver Tony Stewart's recent comments regarding San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, I got mentioned on the site Uproxx earlier today.

Before their Friday preseason game against the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick drew headlines by sitting during the national anthem. Kaepernick later explained his actions, saying: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football, and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder." This protest by the Pro Bowl quarterback has generated strong reactions both for and against, with many giving him credit for taking a stand (figuratively speaking) on an important social issue, and others decrying his actions as unpatriotic. Now, while we all have the right to voice our opinions on whether or not we feel Kaepernick was right or wrong in his words and actions, let's get one thing straight - his peaceful protest was anything but anti-American ...

On Tuesday, conservative commentator and partial she-male demon, Ann Coulter, released the book, In Trump We Trust . Not long after the release of her book, Donald Trump publicly flip-flopped on immigration, and Ms. Coulter has gone on to imply she no longer trusts Trump. Yes, the book's title got debunked within 24 hours of its release. How's that for unintentional irony? The only way Coulter can top herself next time is if she releases the book President Trump a day after he loses. http://www.mediaite.com/online/woman-who-wrote-in-trump-we-trust-goes-on-tweetstorm-about-why-we-cant-trust-trump/

From claiming President Obama invaded Afghanistan to her belief that liberal reporters were "literally" beating up Donald Trump supporters, Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson has had some issues making sense when in front of the camera. Well, that happened again earlier today, as while on CNN, Ms. Pierson attempted to defend Donald Trump's recent change in stance with regard to immigration by saying, “He hasn’t changed his position. He has changed the words that he is saying.” So, in other words, he changed his position. With that line of thinking, expect Katrina Pierson to utter the following lines in the future: - "He hasn't committed adultery. He simply stuck his penis in a vagina that wasn't his wife's." - "He hasn't lied. He just said something he knew wasn't true." - "He hasn't been speeding. He was going the speed limit, only much faster." - "He hasn't lost. When all was said and done, he simpl...

It's hard for me to believe, but yesterday marked the 1-year anniversary of my friend Gary's passing. After being diagnosed with cancer, he was given 6 months to live, but battled it for over 7 years. It's been a rough year for me on the health front, but Gary continues to be an inspiration to me, as he's taught me, no matter how bleak things might seem today, so long as we're breathing, we can fight for a better tomorrow. Rest in peace, Gary. We miss you, bud.

While Hillary Clinton currently leads all the national polls by between 5 and 10 points, that doesn't even begin to show how good of shape she's in when it comes to the electoral college. Donald Trump and his supporters can deny it all they'd like, they're in serious trouble. Let's look at the electoral map for a second. Here are very blue states in which Trump has less chance of winning than I do of beating Usain Bolt in the 100 m after drinking with Ryan Lochte (Keep in mind it takes 270 electoral votes to win the election): 1) Hawaii: 4 electoral votes 2) Washington: 12 electoral votes (16 total) 3) California: 55 electoral votes (71 total) 4) Illinois: 20 electoral votes (91 total) 5) Vermont: 3 electoral votes (94 total) 6) Massachusetts: 11 electoral votes (105 total) 7) Rhode Island: 4 electoral votes (109 total) 8) Connecticut: 7 electoral votes (116 total) 9) Delaware: 3 electoral votes (119 total) 10) Maryland: 10 electoral votes (129 total) 11...

Last Thursday night showcased the final episode of Larry Wilmore's The Nightly Show on Comedy Central. While I didn't find The Nightly Show nearly as humorous as its predecessor, The Colbert Report , I still felt it was an incredibly important show - especially at this time in our country's history. Let's think back to all of the late-night talk show hosts over the past ten years: David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Craig Ferguson, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Bill Maher, John Oliver, Carson Daly, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel. What do they all have in common? They're all white guys. If it weren't for the recent additions of Trevor Noah and Samantha Bee, white guys would have temporarily held a monopoly on late night talk shows. While Ms. Bee is a woman and Mr. Noah is a black man, neither delved into topics pertaining to the African-American community like Mr. Wilmore did. Objective #2 for Larry Wilmore and The Nightly Show was to prompt laughter. Obj...
