“What Truth Sounds Like” by Michael Eric Dyson
“We have to talk.” It’s never good when someone tells you that. Even if it’s said with a smile and a pat on the back, you can feel doom in those words. “We have to talk” never helps anyone except when, as in “What Truth Sounds Like” by Michael Eric Dyson, it does.
Denzel Washington picks off familiar targets in 'Equalizer 2'
A sequel to a movie based on a TV show is basically the ultimate commentary on Hollywood's infatuation with presold titles, but at least "The Equalizer 2" doesn't harbor many pretentions about its marching orders. Anchored by Denzel Washington's steely presence, it's a spare, brutal vigilante exercise, with an element of righteous revenge mixed into the balance.
The Michael Cohen tapes story is just getting started

The classic car industry could be hurt by tariffs, too
Higher tariffs on cars and parts could sideswipe the collector car industry. More than 20 million cars are classified as "collector cars" in the United States, according to Hagerty Insurance, a company that insures them. More than $1.5 billion worth of collectable vehicles are sold at auction each year, but that represents only a tiny slice of the trade. About 95% of collector car sales are not at auctions.
NASA's mission to touch the sun launches soon

A study shows that when a wife out-earns her husband, she downplays her income while he exaggerates his
The number of married women earning more money than their husbands has grown. But you won't hear them boasting about it. A new study finds that many spouses would prefer to keep that fact on the down-low. Researchers analyzed Census Bureau data and discovered that in heterosexual marriages where the wife out-earns her husband, both spouses misreport in census surveys how much they actually make.
A Tradition Like No Other
Five Astros Named to the 2018 MLB All-Star Game in D.C.
In college, there was a young man who would drive over an hour every Friday just to make it to his parents’ house for dinner. You could almost set your watch by it because he had the same routine. Get out of class, pack up his vehicle, and hit the road no later than 4 pm. So, one day I asked him why he leaves campus every Friday to go home? He looked at me and said, “Our family tradition is to have dinner as a family every Friday night no matter what. We have been doing it for years.”

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Returns to McAllen in South Texas to Demand that the Trump Administration Effectively Expedite the Family Reunification Process
Jackson Lee— “Indeed, it appears as if the President’s lack of response to the letter I led is indicative of the administration’s overall tact towards legitimate inquiries for oversight, like that which is prescribed by Article I of the Constitution. Despite the fact that a federal judge ordered the reunification of children under age 5 by a date certain, last week the Department of Homeland Security indicated that about 50% of these children were reunited by the date prescribed by the court, and that at least 2,551 of children remain still separated from their parents.”

Rob Reiner Reveals the Passion of Shock and Awe
Rob Reiner may have entered show business as an industry legacy, following in the footsteps of his famous father, legendary comedic writer and performer, Carl Reiner. But he quickly paved his own path with an artistic and social point of view all his own. After paying his dues with bit parts and writing gigs on various television series throughout the 1960s, Reiner got his big break in 1972, when Norman Lear cast him as Michael ‘Meathead’ Stivic, the outspoken, liberal, counterculture son-in-law of Archie Bunker on the now culturally iconic television series, All In The Family.

Russian President Vladimir Putin came late to the Helsinki Summit with Donald Trump on Monday and spoke first at the news conference afterward.
