Actor Harrison Ford encouraged graduates at Arizona State University to "build something that didn't exist yesterday" in a rousing commencement speech on Monday, telling them to "go change the world."
"When opportunity presents, recognize it. This is your time. Own it."
This young man on the mound, a senior in high school, started the game and threw one pitch in the game on senior day.
The back story is that he was injured by a line drive in March ending his career with a brain bleed. The young man up to bat is a senior and the son of the mom who filmed this. He agreed to not swing at the pitch.
They said there wasn't a dry eye in the ballpark. This game is so much greater than that little white ball!
In a world of such chaos and hate, I love, love, love this so much.❤️
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Don't let anyone tell you the 2-strike approach is dead.
Enjoy this absolute masterclass from Mauricio Dubon.
After two whiffs on 97 mph fastballs he got a third. He dropped the leg kick, spread out, no stride and smoked a base clearing triple to right field.
Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, win the popular vote, and hold the majority of governorships—and still blame the other party for everything wrong with the country.
Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different.
Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people.
For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits.
He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide.
No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents.
His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.
RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'"
Trump: "Right"
I spent 11 years as a pro athlete, and today I coach my 8-year-old.
A few things I believe about youth sports...
Most kids will never play college sports.
Even fewer will earn money from playing their sports.
Yet everyone can experience life lessons through sports.
Now, to do that, it requires you, me, and everyone involved to understand the stakes.
The stakes? Well, there are none.
Ya, the 8u tournament where the coach lost his mind on a call by a 14-year-old umpire.
The play your first basemen didn't make that he should have.
The game you lost because the coach put the players in the "wrong positions".
None of that matters, and understanding that...well, those are the stakes.
You see, kids are incredible at watching, repeating, and forming habits.
As a coach and parent, my goal is pretty simple.
*Teach them the game
*Make sure they enjoy it
*Show them how to live with the results
The most common pitfall I see in youth sports today is the excuse train.
The umpire made a bad call.
The coach feeds into it, the players follow along.
The one player missed the easy play.
The coach yells, the players feed into it.
The team had a run of bad luck.
The coach makes excuses, the players think that is ok.
My friends, youth sports is a tool to teach your boys and girls about life.
That's it... For the select few that will go on and play college or pro, good on them.
Chances are that isn't my kids or your kids.
So our job? To make sure they understand what is important and that we remember the stakes.
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.
And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.
So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.
