It is time for all companies to either remove or deactivate their X accounts. Why are they still active? Who are they attempting to reach with their message? We have reached the point where they are hurting their brand.

I Remember
I remember the Holocaust.
I remember the 6 million stolen Jewish lives, and millions of others.
I remember the stories.
I remember the survivors.
I remember the heroism.
I remember the resilience.
...and I remember that silence can be deadly.
I remember.

10-15% of all MLB players are using the Torpedo Bats, but I only see complaints about the Yankees using them. Give me a break.

Also, GO GO Cory Booker! He isn't up there reading the encyclopedia; he's speaking the truths everyone should listen to.

I have yet to see the impact on the GWB? Has traffic moved to another location or just stopped coming into the city?

Hahaha - itโ€™s a relevant curse based on something that actually happened to the Mets - Iโ€™m not going to make something up. Enjoy the win! I wish the Yankees signed him, but we will pivot - I have faith in Cashman.

Very upset about Soto to the Mets - may he be the next Bobby Bonilla...

Ok Cashman - here's the hit list: Santander, Bregman, Walker, and Max Fried - bet you can get them all for less than $765 mil...

Once again, Amnesty International has issued a slanderous attack on Israel that amounts to a blood libel against the Jewish state.

All people of goodwill should reject Amnestyโ€™s morally obscene accusations and stand with Israel.
