Woke in the. Ight to catch Freddie Freeman’s Amazing Feat. A step-up of physical and mental and emotional grace under fire and collective team spirit. I do love sports. Interesting how The Old School National Pastime is flourishing in places despised by MAGA. I guess they’ve got the NFL.

Who remembers the Red Rose/White Rose Mother’s Day Practice? Was it widespread? Regional? Generational? Does it still go on? Is it news to you?

On May5, 1862 a small, ill-equipped,inexperienced Mexican army defeated well-armed,powerful French invaders in Puebla. Mexican conservatives had backed the foreigners in hopes of ousting the liberal gov't of Benito Juarez. Cons colluding with foreigners betraying their nation-sound familiar?
