I recently celebrated my godson’s 21st birthday in June at Carson’s Ribs in downtown Chicago. We all laughed and joked as Christion Tucker tried red wine for the first time.

Labor Day a harsh reminder unions turned into the bosses they pretend to dislike
Labor Day should be a time for celebrating the American worker, not just enjoying an extra day off work or the unofficial end of summer.

DAVID MARCUS: Kamala Harris' newest vibe is fading momentum

DAVID MARCUS: In West Virginia, a glimpse of what Democrats have lost
In 2016, businessman Jim Justice ran for governor of West Virginia as a Democrat and won. Two years later, Joe Manchin was reelected to his senate seat as a Democrat in the Mountain state.
