I was reliably informed that widespread access to sports gambling would be great, but I can’t find anything great that has come from it in the last few years.

Taking in one last season at the ‘Skew before moving somewhere that does not have this great of weather all baseball season. You’ve been good to us @NMStateBaseball

College Baseball is so back.

For anyone putting loyalty to a person above loyalty to the Constitution, Justice Gorsuch’s remarks should be required reading. His words are a reminder that our highest duty is to the rule of law and the founding principles that define America.

Respect to Miller Moss. The widespread availability of online sports gambling is a net negative on sports and society as a whole.

Rubio would also carry the Hispanic vote better than Vance and is a capitalist, making him a better option for Republicans in 2028.

[Max Abrahms @MaxAbrahms]

Rubio is able to advocate sensible homeland policies on illegal immigration and border security without sounding like a total racist. And he’s able to advocate policies to strengthen Europe without all Europeans hating America. Finally, he knows how to advocate the right amount of US engagement in the world so we seem neither neocon nor isolationist.

Don’t listen to this young men. Be there for the mother of your child and let the rest take care of itself. Those midnight feedings turns into financial freedom because nothing will inspire you more than being a great father.

Rice is the most popular food in the world. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. Vanilla is the most popular ice cream flavor in the world.

Bad Bunny may be the 2nd biggest musician in the world right now, but that doesn’t mean he’s a good pick for the halftime show.

The current position of the Democratic Party is that as long as you are holding a cell phone or a camera you can literally commit any crime you want and face no consequences.

[Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen]

The things I and many simultaneously believe to be true:

- I wish Renee Good and Alex Pretti were still alive. They were people made in God’s image whose lives had value, and their deaths are tragic

- I still am unclear about the true story surrounding Pretti’s killing

- I am not sure DHS messaging on Pretti’s death has been completely accurate or helpful

- The chaos that led to their deaths is in large part due to local law enforcement refusing keep the public from impeding ICE and local politicians stoking the flames by calling ICE “Gestapo”

- ICE and border patrol agents, by and large, do a good, compassionate job that is very difficult. Like any group - teachers, pastors, social workers, etc - there will be those who are corrupt or bad at their jobs, and it’s ok to acknowledge that if apparent

- ICE’s job is necessary and good. Removing illegal aliens, including those who have committed heinous crimes against American children, should be able to be done without conflict. This is normal business that has been conducted in similar ways under both R and D administrations. The chaos is not caused by Trump. It is caused by those who hate Trump

- America, like every country, has the right and responsibility to defend its borders, protect citizenship, and enforce immigration law. This is necessary for national sovereignty. This is not “kidnapping,” and it’s not just violent criminals who need to be deported.

- Lots of overlap between those decrying ICE and those who: never said a word about immigration enforcement under Biden & Obama, have never expressed concern about the lives lost because of illegal immigration, support abortion, or accused Charlie Kirk of racism in the days following his murder. I am 100% uninterested in what these people have to say about morality or justice.

I doubt this would have a significant impact on the MLB, but this would be awesome for college baseball. I like it.

[Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB]

Is this the END of high school eligibility in the MLB Draft?

Chatter inside of the industry is we could be in the final year or two of high school talent being draft-eligible.

The current transfer portal is a significant threat to college athletics. But the widespread accessibility of online sports gambling is on the verge of causing irreparable damage and ruining it until it is prohibited again.

Screw the analytics. Move the fence back 30 feet. Have more triples. Force corner outfielders to be fast, athletic, and good at their jobs. Home runs do not necessarily mean good baseball or entertainment.

Whether the woman tried to hit the officer is debatable, but does not matter. The question is whether the officer’s life was in danger and if he believed so before firing his weapon. And the answer here is yes.

[Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY]

I'm sorry, but "she was scared so she tried to 'escape' by running over a federal officer" is not an explanation I'm willing to accept.

We finally have a clear picture of what happened here.

[Luke Hartlage @LukeHartlage]

So Trump wasn’t actually Hitler, just a little goofy. The next, more articulate Republican President is actually Hitler so, you know, perpetual assassination attempts, futile impeachments, and corruption hoaxes will be justified by the Left again. Who could’ve seen this coming…

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

JD Vance is the worst vice president in modern American history.

He makes Trump’s demagoguery look almost benign. Trump’s appeals are often wrapped in silliness and performative absurdity; Vance’s are not.

He is cold, deliberate, and delivers his bile with the smug confidence of someone who knows exactly what he’s doing.

Few people this openly cynical and contemptuous of democratic norms have ever come this close to the White House.
