Fernando Valenzuela captivated the baseball world in 1981. His unforgettable year included winning the NL Rookie of the Year, Cy Young Award & a World Series title.

We honor the memory of the Dodgers icon, who passed away Tuesday at age 63, with a look back at “Fernandomania.”

The NY Post is out with my column on President Biden's call for rending life tenure for justices. That is clearly the opposite of what the Framers intended, but Biden insists that democracy will only be safeguarded by attacking one of our core stabilizing institutions.https://t.co/VZz7qxiFo6

[Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 @TulsiGabbard]

The problem isn’t just that Biden is old. The problem is he’s insane. Only a madman would not consider a nuclear holocaust/war an existential threat, saying “the ONLY existential threat to humanity is climate change.” And this insane person has the power to launch a nuclear weapon. How could we even consider it would be safe to reelect this man?

One Week from today an 83 Year Northern California tradition will cease to exist, @GGFracing will close Forever. I’ll be there with @icecoldexacta covering the Final Day of racing Sunday, June 9th for @FanDuelTV I hope you’ll find time to watch this video I put together stirring some of the memories of why Golden Gate was so special. Much will be said between now and June 9th, but I want it known @annacotsteel and his Staff left it ‘All on the Field’ in hoping this Day would never come. Now that it has, let’s take a moment to appreciate all that took place ‘Where the Bay came to play.’

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

The Biden White House has betrayed the central tenet of Easter — which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Banning sacred truth and tradition—while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day”—is outrageous and abhorrent. The American people are taking note.

NYSOS (2021 Nyquist - Zetta Z, by Bernardini) is now 2-for-2, with an easy win in today's G3 Bob Hope at Del Mar.

The Bob Baffert trainee won his maiden by 10 1/2 lengths on Oct. 21. Today, NYSOS won "handily" by 8 3/4 lengths, Flavien Prat up.

NYSOS ran 7 furlongs in 1:21.71.

[Brad Free @BradFree1]

To the parents of all of these losers suddenly persuaded by the deranged musings of the man who murdered 3k American innocents: you failed. You were likely boozing, marching for some L-wing cause and/or simply ignoring your kids. You failed to teach wrong from right, a proper moral code, a love of country and perspective on America’s role in the world. Bc you failed, my kids and others are going to have to grow up battling these assholes for the future of the United States. I have every confidence they can do it, but I resent and judge you for making it necessary as opposed to fostering a life in which they can focus solely on growth, joy, love, family, hard work and creation. No point getting bogged down in it however, trust me when I tell you that the majority of Americans - this generation and the next - will fight to defeat the pernicious lunacy you’ve unleashed. And we will win.

Statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the Foreign Media:
"The horrors that Hamas perpetrated on October 7th remind us that we will not realize the promise of a better future unless we, the civilized world, are willing to fight the barbarians."

Nysos!!! Wow! I felt this colt was promising this past April at the @OBSSales but holy smokes what did we just watch!?!?

Big congrats to @BaomaCorp & @BobBaffert
and his staff. You guys have a really good one on your hands 🌟

[Will Kunkel @WillKunkelV]

Jose Altuve may be one of best baseball players of all time.

However, there’s no bigger compliment than the one @ABREG_1 paid him after game 5.

“I hope my 14 month old son grows up to be the man he is.”

The same trash media that lied about laptops and COVID is lying to you about Hamas bombing their own hospital, too.

[Jack Carr @JackCarrUSA]

To those cheering on Hamas as they cut off the heads of infants, cut unborn babies from their mothers as they are still alive, gang rape and mutilate women, burn people alive, execute defenseless families after torturing them in front of one another would be wise to remember that many of them would be the first to be slaughtered under the rule of radical Islamicists.  

To those arguing or issuing statements of moral equivalency or justification for such acts, I suggest those statements indicate a moral bankruptcy and a depravity of the soul.  To the commentators on news channels doing just that, politicians doing just that, community groups doing just that, college professors and students doing just that, those marching in support of Hamas doing just that, I would remind you of an oft-cited phrase used amongst Jihadist groups in which they make their intentions extremely clear - they put it on flags and leave in written on walls in their wake.  It translates as:
“First we kill the Saturday people and then the Sunday people.”  
“On Saturday we kill the Jews. On Sunday we kill the Christians.”
“On Saturday we massacre the Jews.  On Sunday we massacre the Christians.”

Think of the families burned alive, the decapitated babies, raped women and executed children before nodding your head in agreement with someone citing a moral equivalence or justification argument regardless of their position or influence.

To my friend Doron who posted this photo, and to those in harm’s way and those about to enter the breach, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones.

Hamas has issued a statement calling for what translates as “a day of general mobilization” this Friday, October 13. You can find the statement online.  

To those justifying the attacks publicly, thank you for showing your true colors. To those public figures who refuse to condemn the attacks when asked, your silence is deafening.
