Some moments stay with you. Standing with these service members was one of mine. To every veteran, and every family who shares in the sacrifice — thank you. Today and every day. #MindHeartSoul #TakeTheNextPitch

Since people are going to just make up quotes and put worlds in my mouth, here were my comments on Malik Nabers

At no point did we ever say he was a bad teammate.

Hopefully @nypost and @USATODAY adjust their stories

[Gary Bennett @GDBJr5]

@Schmack53 Wow!

[🇺🇸HG47🇺🇸 @HorseGirl]

Take heed. Or not.

I'm out. I hope this reaches a fraction of who it should.

When CNN employees like Van Jones are warning you about these Muslim candidates, you should believe what they say.

Wow .. Top Democrat strategist Van Jones,
One of Obama’s former aides during his presidency
Released this message to Michigan.

@BigTontoLove Where are the folks Israel is after setting up shop? You think it could be around or under said locations? It’s horrible situation that is the fault of those using those locations and civilians as a shield.

[Gary Bennett @GDBJr5]

@BigTontoLove Targeting children, hospitals, etc…? You believe that? Info that’s being put out by some of those bad actors? Wouldn’t you blame those “bad actors” that act then hide behind those folks you mention?

[Gary Bennett @GDBJr5]

@BigTontoLove “Widely believed”……. What is widely believed about the actions of some other countries in the region?

Have spent the last week or so rereading “ A Conservative Sensibility” by George Will.

Many lines hit like a freight train, but one in particular:

“How does a society decide what the natural rights are?
The answer is: It argues.”

And the indispensable foundation of argument is the First Amendment, which protects not merely our right to disagree, but our ability to reason together about the very principles upon which our freedom rests.

That is precisely the contradiction Haley Stevens exposed (below) in her post today: How can we preach inclusion while punishing dissent? The very essence of a free society is not the absence of disagreement, but the freedom to disagree.

“We cannot preach inclusion while punishing dissent. We cannot promise to heal a divided country if we cannot tolerate disagreement among ourselves. And we cannot build a lasting majority by making Americans feel their concerns are unwelcome.

Loyalty to a party should never require abandoning your values or judgment.”

[St. Louis Cardinals @Cardinals]

Thank you, Flo, for more than 15 years of service to the Cardinals organization.

Best of luck in your new role!

@RegionalTVCat Indeed!

[Overton @overton_news]

Well, that was unexpected.

Kid Rock won over Bill Maher’s audience with an epic monologue about the degradation of the modern-day Democrat Party and how progressive politics are teaching kids to hate America.

The moment the audience heard his final line, they erupted into applause.

ROCK: “A Democrat’s never scared me being in office until just recently when all this crazy stuff has popped up.”

“I think Bill Clinton loves the country. I believed Obama loved our country.”

“Now these whack jobs are coming in here and I’m like, wait a minute… even if they don’t hate the country as a whole they hate a big portion of it, and they’re spewing this.”

“And I believe our teachers have been a big problem, you know indoctrinating these kids for a long time now.”

“We’re starting to see the fruition, they’re starting to raise up, I’m a victim and everything’s bad and America is just a big racist piece of sh*t country.”

“Bad, bad America and we’re not celebrating what makes us great, which all of us being different and being together.”

“Being the greatest country in the world!”

It’s pretty seldom that a Republican gets cheers and applause from a liberal crowd with such an unapologetically patriotic message.

This was a great moment.

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

Which player went Phillies in 1995 and 1996, Phillies again from 1998 to 2001, then the Mets, Rockies, Padres, Brewers, Nationals, Cardinals and Dodgers by 2008?

The Mets and Rockies stops both fall in 2001.
