Imagine the business Waffle House could do if they set up *inside* baseball stadiums & then some games started at 9:00AM?

Gimme a coffee, an omelet, & a 3-2 count.

This team from Japan is just stacked with talent.

Intentional walks are a regular, strategic part of professional baseball & I still think Shohei should be exempt from them. Pitch to him! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Blowtorching diplomatic and humanitarian capacity while burning through military capabilities and alienating allies is malpractice of the highest order by the Secretary of State, the nation's top DIPLOMAT, and by the National Security Advisor. It does not help the military to kill US diplomacy. 14/
