Astros beat the Yankees and win the series in New York!

Jomboy is a clown.

Brent Strom is back!

We dance!!

Brent Strom will return to the Astros dugout as a pitching consultant. He’ll join the team tomorrow.

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is the new space race, which will determine American national security and economic dominance for the foreseeable future. Data centers are necessary to train AI, but should not be imposed on local communities without consultation and their consent. This should not be a zero-sum game, but a win-win. BTW, if we want to win the AI competition with China, we must continue to build data centers.

[Sara Eisen @SaraEisen]

Counties that build data centers are seeing new housing, higher home values, lower unemployment and more job growth…

In case you ever wonder why California pays some of the highest gas prices in the nation, here’s a pretty clear example. And no, it’s not just the cost of living.

California has spent years imposing regulations and mandates that make refining more difficult and expensive while maintaining one of the most isolated fuel markets in the country. Now, after losing major refining capacity and facing tighter international fuel supplies, California needs more fuel from outside the state.

The answer? A roughly $5 billion pipeline project designed to move up to 230,000 barrels a day of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel through the Southwest and into California.

California has learned a basic lesson: You can’t legislate fossil fuels out of existence. You certainly can't close your eyes and wish that reality away either. You can restrict production, make refining more expensive, and make supply chains more complicated, but you can’t legislate away demand.

Fuel still has to come from somewhere—and when you make it harder to produce and deliver, consumers pay more.

That isn’t an energy transition. It’s an energy detour.

Down to their last strike, the Astros rally for a run in 9th and push three across in the 10th to beat the Giants, 6-3, in a game they really needed to win.

The Astros are 61-59 and remain in first place in the AL West.

One of the biggest misconceptions about data centers is that they won’t benefit the communities where they are built.

If we hold developers to their promises, the billions of dollars in local investment from data centers could transform communities that desperately need it.

Here’s the truth: Rural Texas is dying. Much of the state faces aging infrastructure and stagnant or declining population growth.

The resource scarcity concerns are real, but they are solvable. Texas needs a plan that addresses water, power and infrastructure challenges without sacrificing the immense economic benefits that investment, jobs and growth can bring to rural communities.

Not every project should be built, and Texans have the right to decide how they want to shape their communities.

But Texas should find solutions, not slam the door on opportunity.

Radical climate activists and socialist Democrats demand the impossible: they oppose pipelines while demanding the oil and gas industry reduce flaring to zero.

You can't have it both ways.

Here's the reality. In Texas, flaring is limited to specific operational and safety purposes and is enforced by the RRC. Since mid-2019, Texas' flaring rate has remained around 1%, meaning more than 99% of the natural gas produced in the state is captured and put to beneficial use, even as production has reached record levels. Billions of dollars has also been invested across Texas in gathering systems, processing facilities, and you guessed it, pipelines.

The results are clear: cooperation between industry and regulators, coupled with precise infrastructure investment, is what delivers results. America, driven in large part by Texas, has become a global leader in flaring reduction. All without the socialist obstruction of private industry in the name of climate alarmism. Because we did it the Texas way.

Happy 10 year anniversary to the Houston Astros trading Josh Fields to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Yordan Alvarez

But with their win tonight, they are back to .500 👀

All former FIFA-certified referees raise your hands.

That's right I used to both play & ref soccer. Now I mostly just mock it. Until they mess w/ Team USA.

This picture of the collision between Balogun & the B&H player looks awful, but it's complete garbage.
Wrong angle to see what really happened.

Balogun was closer to the ball and the B&H player came from his right AND behind initiating the contact. He caused his own suffering.

The ref got it right initially as a no call. They were both playing the ball. Even in a sport known for pitifully lame flopping sometimes two dudes just crash into each other and do some actual damage. Doesn't mean there was a foul.

The replay guy then saw an opportunity to take the Americans down a notch and the ref bought in and made an egregious red card ejection.

If any call was made it should have been against the B&H player who came from behind and out of the sight line of Balogun.

The outrage now is "How dare the Americans get this absurd attempt to weaken them overturned".

Taking a player out of a once in a lifetime game and tournament should be an exceedingly high bar. This was not.

The people pretending to care about the rules are really mad the Americans aren't getting screwed over. It's a common sentiment and all around the world hating Americans for being the Biggest, Baddest and Best is as much a national sport as Soccer Ball.

I've lived overseas for six years and traveled to several dozen countries. Furriners love to hate on us. I'm not saying it's all underserved, I'm just saying it's not new and it's everywhere.

I can't blame them, we're barely 250 years old and we have accomplished more than any country in history. We have invented more amazing things, freed more people from tyranny and lifted more people from poverty and that stings, especially for the Euros who think they own our history.

They do, the part that we left and left behind. The part we are making now they can only watch and be chafed about. Because they can't even come close.

So they were salivating at knocking a US star out of play on a BS call. Sorry Jacques Belgique, you're going to have to take on a full US squad. Good luck, I hope we make you cry some more in the game tonight.
