And that my friends puts a wrap on one of the GREATEST months a baseball player can have.

June of 2026 for PCA was as good as any from the past…or what we’ll see from a player in the future.

Hate all you want but it’s simply not debatable.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is the first player in MLB history to have 11+ HR and 8+ SB in a single June.

@TheConnorPils Jake Arrieta went 6-0 with an ERA of 0.45 and a WHIP of 0.68 in August 2015, including a no-hitter. He averaged over 7 innings per start across 6 starts. PCA was insane this month, but 8/15 Arrieta was nearly perfect.

The top 5 NFL offenses heading into 2026, per @IC_Draft 🍿

[David French @DavidAFrench]

This whole list is absolute BONKERS. But these segments in particular are just next level:

"5) Require sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry.

6) Dissolution of the Union. A nation which can’t even restrict who gets to be a citizen isn’t a nation."

It is absolutely bizarre that these people believe that the continued application of a rule that has existed for generation after generation -- as we've grown to the most powerful and prosperous free nation in world history -- is somehow the root of our national demise and so clearly wrong that we need to end the union.

Just wild.

10. When they haven’t replied for weeks

Instead of sending another soft follow-up, try:

“Should I assume this is no longer a priority?”

It’s direct.

But not aggressive.

And it works because people find it hard to leave an incorrect assumption uncorrected.

If they’re still interested, they’ll respond.

If not, at least you get clarity.

Most follow-ups fail for one reason:

They ask for an update,

but don’t give a reason to respond.

“Any updates?” forces the other person to think.

“Is this still a priority?” allows them to decide.

“Is something blocking this?” allows them to explain.

“Should we keep this open or revisit later?” allows them to close it.

Random reminder for searchers:

Don't sign NDAs personally. Sign as manager of your search entity.

Same access to the deal, but the liability lives with the entity instead of you.

Risk of being sued over an NDA is low, but it's also an easy risk to take off the table!

[George Callas @George_A_Callas]

Very disappointed to see a GOP senator fall for Elizabeth Warren’s devious trap and give bipartisan cover to her socialist agenda.

Sen. Moreno, by his own words, is proposing a $3 trillion tax increase achieved by a 12.4% rate increase on employees and self-employed (e.g., sole proprietors) earning over $184,500.

This would raise the top federal tax rate on wages and self-employment income to 52% — MORE THAN HALF of every additional dollar earned would go to the federal government.

In places like CA and NYC, it would mean government at all levels of taking TWO-THIRDS of each dollar earned.

But it doesn’t stop there. The evolution of the Medicare HI tax reveals the full scope of the long-term plan.

1. In 1993, Congress lifted the cap on the 2.9% HI tax, as Moreno is proposing now. This was a 2.9% rate increase on those affected.

2. In 2010, Congress added 0.8% to the rate for higher income people, leading to a top HI rate of 3.8%.

3. At the same time, Dems complained that work was being taxed more than wealth, and so they added a brand new 3.8% tax on investment income.

4. Starting in 2021 and continuing today, Dems are proposing to expand the 3.8% HI tax even farther to apply to the active business income of pass-through entities such as S corporations.

All this taken together leads to a 3.8% tax rate on ALL kinds of income. Don’t doubt that the plan with Social Security is to do the same thing with its 12.4% tax rate.

And in return for the largest tax increase in American history, Sen. Moreno would get… zero reforms to the program to slow its unsustainable growth. It would continue to absorb a larger and larger share of GDP and make the wealthiest age cohort in the country even wealthier.

I can understand why this is a deal that Elizabeth Warren would love, but why anyone who wants to preserve a free society where the federal government doesn’t take more than half your income would support it is beyond me.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is putting together one of the greatest offensive months in Cubs history.

His 1.447 OPS this June would rank as the second-highest OPS by a Cub in a single month, trailing only Rogers Hornsby’s 1.448 OPS in September 1929.

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

PCA is basically No. 1.

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

There have been over 5 million total 18-game spans by players in MLB's modern era.

In none of them did a player have as many hits, doubles, triples, homers & steals as the @Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong over his last 18 games:

34 hits
5 doubles
2 triples
9 home runs
6 stolen bases

In inflation adjusted dollars, the US gave Europe less than $150 billion to rebuild after WWII in the Marshall Plan.

The MOU gives Iran twice as much.

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

The reversal of his talking points from three months ago to today is astonishing.

Whether you agree with it or not, it's just astonishing.
