Thank you for being a major part of the soundtrack of my life. God speed, Mr. Mangione. Your sounds and soul will always soar in the land of make believe.

Judge Sentences Ex-Officer in Breonna Taylor Raid to Nearly 3 Years in Prison

Judge Sentences Ex-Officer in Breonna Taylor Raid to Nearly 3 Years in Prison www.nytimes.com/2025/07/21/u.... It’s good to know that some judges honor their oaths. So many are still striving to uphold the law, and show there can be justice dealt no matter the opposition.

The DC NFL football team should change its name to the “Washington Epstein Lists.”

Saving the center square for himself?

Remember when the Aarons, Mays and Musials played entire All-Star games? If that happened in this era, I think Ohtani and Judge might be in this swing-off. At least Alonso has HR street cred!!

I stand up to cancer on behalf of my friend Michael in France, and my later brother, Groove. 💔🙏🏽💔

Bless you!

This gives a whole new meaning to “Bum’s Rush!”

Suddenly I have a new favorite singing group. Don’t mess with MC!

Congrats to the wonderful #TitoFrancona. Your 2,000th win as a manager is one more number assuring a ticket to Cooperstown is in the bag!

To be recognized by my hero is the best thing to come of all this. Love you, Sarah!

I’m only peeking a little bit, Nancy, LOL!

Such a shame that neither Dave Parker nor Dick Allen lived long enough to receive their deserved enshrinement in The Baseball Hall of Fame. Rest in Peace, Cobra, as you join Dick on the All-Star team on high. Show Heaven what baseball in the Keystone State was all about!

No, he thinks Black Americans need their history and contributions to his nation erased.

He’s a racist, just like his KKK daddy, pure and simple.

I really do think a vast swath of the American people dramatically underestimate how much Donald Trump hates Black people

Here is the President of the United States angrily sh*tting on and raging against Juneteenth

This is the craziest game I think I’ve seen in a while!

I’ve covered baseball since 1982. The #Padres-#Dodgers game might be the craziest brawl I’ve ever seen!

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan.

We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised.

That’s how democracy should function.

Wonder how many of the Jan. 6 thugs now wear badges supplied by Trump?

Thank you, Tucker Carlson?!?!? Didn’t have that on my bingo card, ever!

Thank you, Tucker Carlson?!?!? Never thought I’d type those words!

So needed in the day and age!!!!

NONE of this would be happening under President Kamala Harris.
No government kidnappings, tariffs wars, ICE shooting random people, 401Ks tanking, Medicaid, Medicare & Social Security on the chopping block, turning our allies into enemies, children killing themselves- all of it.

The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.

Preach!
