Shohei Ohtani shouted out Javier Herrera, the Dodgers ball boy that caught the baseball that was headed for Ohtani’s face.
Herrera spoke to reporters on Friday, and Ohtani posted a video of it on his Instagram calling him “My hero.”
Being President of the United States is not performance art.
Nor is it one-liners.
An American President needs vision ,compassion,morality,
concern,honesty,civility.
Fundamental decency.
All of these golden qualities with the ability to lead the United States back to normality of these qualities.
To achieve for the good.
Respect for the smallest and most needy and strength to stand up to powers that threaten them here and abroad.
Our future is the Biden path.
Vote for Biden/Harris.

WHAT. A. YEAR. 🏆💍
To win a championship with my lil bro is truly a special feeling. All the hours spent on our backyard hoop, all the time spent at each other’s games growing up, all the work we put in training together and supporting each other through the ups and downs of a pro bball career.
We’ve seen each other through the roughest times, had the toughest conversations and worked endlessly at protecting our brotherhood from being affected by everything else going on. To end the season on top with our parents and loved ones watching...my heart is so full.
This year was easily one of my toughest in my 14 years as a pro. We dealt with everything - nonstop injuries, suspensions, people leaving, deep internal issues, public opinion turning on us, having a target on our backs. There were so many times I couldn’t see how this season would turn out well and felt like losing hope.
Even after the long career I’ve had, my pre-game anxiety came back strong this year. Once again God was forcing me to trust. So many of us poured so much into this team, but at the end of the day the results were not in our hands but God’s.
Psalm 44:4-8
You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob. Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory, but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.
THANK YOU to this team, our coaches, our leadership, the fans, the ones who prayed for us along the way🙏🏼
和自己的親弟弟一起贏得冠軍真的是很特別的感覺。那些我們一起在後院打籃球的時光,從小到大我們花時間去看彼此的比賽,一起努力訓練也互相在彼此職業生涯的起起落落中支持著彼此。
我們見證了彼此最辛苦的時刻,也有過最深最難的對話,並且持續不斷努力地保護我們的兄弟情誼避免受其他事情影響。在我們的父母和親友的注目下用冠軍來結束這個賽季……我的心中有著滿滿的情緒。
今年無疑是我 14 年職業生涯中最艱難的一年。我們面對了各式各樣的事情——不間斷的傷病、停賽、有人離開球隊、深層的內部問題、外界針對我們的輿論、把我們當成箭靶。有很多次我無法理解這個賽季能怎麼圓滿結束、甚至感覺失去了希望。
即使我已經打了這麼多年的職業籃球,今年我的賽前焦慮又回來了。神再一次強迫我去相信、交托給主。我們許多人為這個團隊付出了很多,但最終的結果並不在我們手中,而是在上帝手中。
詩篇 44:4-8
神啊,你是我的王 ;求你出令使雅各得勝。
我們靠你要推倒我們的敵人,靠你的名要踐踏那起來攻擊我們的人。
因為 ,我必不靠我的弓;我的刀也不能使我得勝 。
惟你救了我們脫離敵人,使恨我們 的人羞愧 。
我們終日因神誇耀,還要永遠稱謝你的名 。
感謝這支球隊、我們的教練、我們的管理團隊、球迷、那些為我們禱告的人🙏🏼

"That that conversation is happening between two colleagues, both of equal stature at least in terms of the law, is staggering." @lawofruby explains what is so remarkable about new NYT reporting on Judge Cannon.
Trump is congratulating himself for getting rid of Comey and the top FBI officials. He is too stupid to realize that this is an admission of guilt by interference and weaponization of the DOJ. @acyn
BREAKING: CNN brutally humiliates Donald Trump by cutting from a planned segment to live coverage of his Truth Social stock crashing and burning in "free fall mode," enraging MAGA viewers.
This is a work of art...
"Take a look at this live look at the stock of the parent company of Trump's Truth Social business," said Wolf Blitzer as the screen displayed a dramatic 4.6% drop in stock price.
"Since Donald Trump's felony convictions in New York three weeks ago, Truth Social and its parent company have lost roughly half its value," Blitzer went on.
"Trump Media stock prices have been rapidly dropping since May dealing a huge blow to the former president's net worth," he went on.
"Truth Social is hurting big time now, what is happening?" Blitzer asked CNN reporter Matt Egan.
"Well Wolf, this is a stock that is basically in free fall mode right now," said Egan. "Trump Media was trading above 50 bucks as recently May 30th. Of course, that's the day that Donald Trump was convicted here in New York and within seconds of that conviction, we saw the stock price plunge and it's just snowballed since then. This company has now lost over half of its value in just three weeks. That's staggering losses."
"The spark for this week's selloff was the fact that regulators gave a green light to investors who owned what's known as warrants to buy extra stock in this company," explained Egan. "It's a move that could allow Trump Media to raise extra money, but it's also going to water down existing shareholders and that has spooked some investors."
"I don't want to assign too much logic here to the stock moves because remember experts have said that Trump Media is basically a meme stock, it is trading on hype and momentum, not fundamentals," he went on. "It's valued in the billions of dollars even though it generates very little revenue."
"Now no matter the cause, this selloff has wiped out a huge chunk of the value of the stock of the company's chairman and leading shareholder, Donald Trump," he said. "This stake was worth about $6 billion as recently as three weeks ago. Now, it's down to around $3 billion and this selling may not be done."
Egan went on to quote an expert who said that despite the selloff, Trump Media stock is "still wildly overpriced."
"It's a very tiny player in social media," he added.

There are hundreds of different religions in our country. The posting of the Ten Commandments is a blatant effort to impose a certain religious bias on young impressionable children.
And what’s going to happen when the children ask about adultery? Teachers are not allowed to talk about sex.
It is not the responsibility (nor is it legal) for schools to be preaching religion of any kind. Parents should set an example in the home of humility, decency, respect, and compassion for their children. That’s what is important. And perhaps they could start by not voting for sexual assailants, criminals, tax cheats, and domestic terrorists.
This is nothing but pure tyranny. Our country was formed by people who escaped religious tyranny. And now a small minority of people who declare they are Christians, but aren't in any way reflecting the lessons of Jesus, are forcing this down the throats of innocent children and all of us whose forefathers fought for choice.
I am angry and disgusted, Louisiana.
I almost hope Judge Aileen Cannon grants Trump's frivolous motion to dismiss his Florida case. If she does, Jack Smith will undoubtedly appeal, will win the appeal, & hopefully that will give him everything he needs to file the long-overdue motion to remove Cannon from the case.
“Which commandment is your favorite?”
“They are great commandments. I love them all. They are terrific, all of them. More and more people are starting to appreciate Moses more and more.”

Morning from Ukraine!
The night was calm in Kyiv. We don't have power at home now.
I woke up earlier for my morning #warcoffee, so everything is not bad. Plans or not? I have them. I want to go to the museum for the presentation of the monograph (research work) about St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery in Kyiv.
You? I love to read about what you are going to do, how you feel, etc.
