When the results came in from Canada yesterday, I thought of Kristi Noem, the DHS secretary, and a stunt she pulled on the U.S.-Canadian border. A vignette, a scene, from our time. https://t.co/Ee79Hd9Exm

Thank you @BeschlossDC The best response to the odious racism streaming from Madison Square Garden last night comes from the great and proud Puerto Rican Roberto Clemente. "If you have a chance to help others and fail to do so you are wasting your time on this earth."
Obama: John McCain. I don't want to over romanticize our relationship. John was conservative to put it mildly. He ran against me in 2008 and talked about me on the campaign trail. You know what, he understood that some values transcend party. He believed an honest argument and hearing the views of other people. He didn't demonize political opponents. Do you remember at the end of the campaign when a woman at one of his rallies said, you can't vote for that Arab, he's not even a citizen and he said hold on, I have had a lot of disagreements with Senator Obama but I served with him, he is a good man and an honorable man and a patriotic American, shut it down. He knew that if we get in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, democracy can't work. The man had character.
The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.
