If MLB says no to this then I say fuck them on behalf of Peter Edward Rose. Their greed for gambling revenue is compromising the integrity of the game far more than he ever did. Hypocrites.

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

130 schools said no.
He led the losingest program in college football history to a national championship anyway.
Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit from Miami.
He tried to walk on at his hometown school. They passed.
So did FIU.
So did FAU.
So did everyone else.
At 17, he was sitting in his bedroom, crying over a silent recruiting inbox—after driving to 18 camps with his dad and sending highlights to more than 100 programs.
Not one FBS offer.
His only option? Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path.
Everyone told him to be “realistic.”
“Know your place.”
“Be grateful.”
He didn’t listen.
Because Mendoza understood something most people miss:
The worst outcome isn’t failing.
It’s never getting the chance to try.
Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang.
Cal needed a body. One offer. Out of 134 schools.
He took it.
He arrived as the third-string quarterback.
Spent a year on the scout team.
Lost his first four starts.
Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line.
Still got up. Every time.
Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him.
So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes.
He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history.
People laughed.
“Career suicide.”
“Graveyard program.”
“Nobody wins there.”
One coach told him something different:
“I’m going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.”
That was enough.
Mendoza wasn’t just playing for football.
His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years.
Before every snap, he thought of her.
“My mother is my why.”
Indiana went 16–0.
Beat six Top-10 teams.
Won their first Big Ten title since 1945.
Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns.
Won the Heisman—first in school history.
First Cuban-American to ever do it.
Then came the title game.
Miami. Near his hometown.
Fourth-and-4. Season on the line.
Quarterback draw.
The kid 134 schools rejected spun through defenders and dove into the end zone.
Game over.
Indiana—national champions.
The losingest program became the best team in America.
All because a 17-year-old refused to believe “no” was the end.
Rankings don’t decide your ceiling.
Gatekeepers don’t write your ending.
Being overlooked isn’t a verdict—it’s a starting point.
Sometimes all you need is one shot…
and the courage to bet on yourself when nobody else will.
Don’t quit.

Friday night in Cincinnati on Short Vine: one of multiple incidents that evening, including 25 shots fired at Fairview Park.
Our city desperately needs new leadership from the top down.
Yesterday, several people doxed Cincinnati Mayoral Candidate and Pastor, Cory Bowman…and posted personal information online. Amy Toth took to Facebook and posted in the Greater Cincinnati Politics page, while “Big Kev” has been doxing Cory on X.
Today, there are bullet holes in the church windows of Pastor Cory’s church.
This is not politics. This is evil.
You don’t shoot at a church. You don’t threaten a pastor. You don’t terrorize a man of faith because you don’t like his campaign signs or his opinions. A house of worship is off-limits—always has been, always should be.
To whoever pulled that trigger, to whoever spread that address, to whoever laughed or egged it on—you should be ashamed. This is what happens when liberal extremists go too far, when political hatred replaces humanity, and when online mobs think they can silence someone who refuses to bend the knee.
But here’s the part they didn’t plan for—Cory Bowman’s faith is stronger than their hate. He will not live in fear. His congregation will not hide. His church doors will stay open, because faith isn’t just what you preach—it’s what you stand on when the world tries to shake you.
Security will be provided for everyone who comes to worship. Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring your prayers.
We’re calling on the people of Cincinnati—of every neighborhood and every background—to show up this Sunday at The River Church, 10am, at 503 Clark St., Cincinnati, OH 45203. Stand shoulder to shoulder with Pastor Cory’s family and congregation. Pastor Cory has a previous engagement and will not be delivering the sermon tomorrow, his lovely wife, Pastor Jordan will doing that.
Let’s send a message loud enough for every coward behind a keyboard to hear:
We will NOT be afraid. We will NOT be silenced. We will NOT be intimidated from praying, from worshiping, or from standing up for what’s right.
Christians in America should never have to fear for their safety because of their beliefs. Not now. Not ever.
Faith over fear. Every time.
After all, the City is safe right Mr. Mayor?

Dear Mayor Aftab Pureval,
Cincinnati’s Medical Debt “Relief” is a Taxpayer Bailout…and you’re making us all pay for it.
This week, Cincinnati politicians lined up for cameras to pat themselves on the back. With great fanfare, they announced that the City had “relieved” $219 million in medical debt for over 100,000 residents.
Sounds heroic, right? Until you dig deeper. The City didn’t actually pay $219 million. It spent $1.45 million of our tax dollars to buy up debt for pennies on the dollar through a nonprofit middleman. That’s not magic—that’s politics…and just before the Mayor’s reelection attempts next month.
So we researched this, to see who actually benefited from this taxpayer-funded bailout.
The City claims this was about, “lifting up struggling residents…” but let’s be blunt:
• Medicaid recipients don’t need this. They already have free medical coverage.
• Medicare recipients are covered. They may face some co-pays, but their healthcare isn’t sending them into crushing debt.
• People with private insurance are expected to pay their deductibles like the rest of us.
So who exactly had this “debt” that got erased? Mostly the uninsured and underinsured—including those who choose not to buy coverage, and those who are undocumented illegals living in Cincinnati, a
“self-declared Sanctuary City.”
Yes, you read that correctly: in a Sanctuary City, taxpayer dollars went to wipe out medical debt for people who aren’t even in the country legally, while hardworking citizens get stuck paying the tab.
We—the taxpayer, got played.
Let’s call this what it is: a bailout. Taxpayers who already struggle to pay their own premiums, deductibles, and hospital bills are now subsidizing the debts of people who didn’t—or couldn’t—pay theirs.
Cincinnati leaders are bragging about “relieving” debt, but they didn’t fix the system. They didn’t reduce healthcare costs. They didn’t expand coverage in a way that rewards responsibility. They just shifted the bill onto the backs of law-abiding taxpayers. Thid id nothing more, than the politics of illusion—or rather, delusion of the far Left. “Tax the Rich,” only most of us taxpayers footing this bill, are nowhere near rich.
The big number—$219 million—is nothing more than political theater. Hospitals had already written off this debt. It wasn’t money they were ever going to collect in full. This stunt allows city officials to pose as heroes without solving the actual problem…a broken healthcare system where our costs keep skyrocketing.
It’s an illusion that is meant to grab headlines, not an honest solution…just before the Mayoral election.
Here’s the truth no one in City Hall wants to say:
• If you work hard, pay your insurance, and meet your deductibles, you’re the sucker in this equation.
• If you didn’t pay, or you’re here illegally, you just got a taxpayer-funded bailout.
• And if you think this will stop medical debt from piling up tomorrow, think again. Nothing about this program addresses why the debt exists in the first place.
Cincinnati’s Medical Debt Relief program is being sold as a triumph of compassion. In reality, it’s a symbolic numbers game and a slap in the face to responsible taxpayers.
We deserve leaders who fix problems at the root—not politicians who toss around other people’s money for applause lines.
Until then, every hardworking taxpayer in Cincinnati just got the same prescription from City Hall: pay your bills…and everyone else’s, too.
If you’re tired of your hard earned money being spent on illegals…if you’re tired of living in a City engulfed in violence…if you’re tired of inept, feckless, corrupt politicians…then fix it—starting at the top. Vote Aftab Pureval out and elect Cory Bowman as the Mayor of Cincinnati. We do not need four more years of this ridiculousness—we need actual leadership.
Let’s do this…Flip the Nati.

We’ve seen quite a few comments trying to justify that Mayor Pureval is cracking down with his curfew remedy. He was on the Lincoln Ware Show today, bragging that his curfew remedy would just stay in effect from now on. Apparently having several shootings over the last week, didn’t even get on his radar.
Allow us to explain why his bs curfew is—and will always be completely ineffective.
CPD Officers aren’t allowed to cite the parents.
CPD Officers aren’t allowed to take curfew violators to 2020 if the juvenile refuses to give them their identity, or guardian contact information.
CPD Officers aren’t allowed to force juveniles to remain at the curfew centers if they say, “I’m exercising my 1st Amendment Rights.”
Judge Kari Bloom and her minions are actually holding meetings to teach parents and juveniles what to say, if law enforcement officers pick them up for curfew violations. They are also “educating” juveniles as to which areas are enforceable for curfew violations and which areas are not.
It’s all optics-100%. Not only are the Officers waisting their time by rounding-up juveniles who violate the curfew, it takes the Officer out of service for critical, priority calls.
The Mayor of Cincinnati does not give one flying fornication about anyone, or anything—as long as he gets reelected.
Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.

And this is in Price Hill. If you get to vote in the City of Cincinnati, @Signal99Cinci might be a wise follow. It appears the media might not be reporting everything
Meanwhile today in the Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati…so glad the City is safe Mr. Mayor—at least it might be safer, had you not accepted the Governor’s full offer of help, for more than just 2 days a month… #FlipTheNati#Cincinnati#vote#Fyp#Signal99#fypシ
Meanwhile today at The Banks in Cincinnati…so glad the City is safe Mr. Mayor—at least it might be safer, had you not accepted the Governor’s full offer of help, for more than just 2 days a month… #FlipTheNati#Cincinnati#vote#Fyp#Signal99#fypシ
