Will this be part of Texas's Bible study?
Leviticus 19:33–34: “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself.”

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.
He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud.
He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.
He was impeached by his own party for corruption.
Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas.
Together we will stop him.

BREAKING: SHOCKING TESTIMONY reveals DOGE operative wiped out research funding without training or experience
A jaw-dropping deposition is shedding new light on how the Trump administration’s controversial DOGE initiative decided which federal research grants deserved to live — and which would be wiped out.
The answer? Apparently… vibes.
Under oath, DOGE staffer Nathan Cavanaugh admitted that he and another colleague personally labeled several academic grants as the “craziest” they had seen — and canceled them despite having no experience in grant review, federal research funding, or scholarly peer review.
When pressed on why one research project was targeted, Cavanaugh didn’t point to fraud, waste, or flawed methodology. His reason? The project mentioned “feminist and queer insights.” That alone was enough.
Another grant examining the experiences of marginalized military veterans — including women, Black service members, Native Americans, immigrants, and LGBTQ troops — was also flagged and canceled. Why? Because the description “explicitly says LGBTQ.”
That was the entire explanation.
When the lawyer conducting the deposition asked Cavanaugh whether he had any background in scholarly peer review or grant evaluation, the answer was simple: “No.”
The attorney then asked whether it was appropriate for a twenty-something with no experience reviewing federal grants to make sweeping decisions that could destroy researchers’ careers and cut off funding for academic work.
Cavanaugh’s response? He saw nothing wrong with it. He argued that someone could make those decisions simply by being “well-informed” from reading books.
The lawyer then asked the obvious follow-up question: Which books? Cavanaugh’s answer? “There were no books.”
And the irony gets even sharper.
Earlier in the deposition, Cavanaugh insisted he had no regrets about people losing income and research funding because the cuts were meant to reduce the federal deficit. When asked if those actions actually reduced the deficit, he admitted they did not.
So to recap: federal research grants were canceled by people with no expertise, no training, no peer review experience, and apparently no research to guide their decisions — simply because certain projects mentioned LGBTQ issues or feminism.
And the people making those calls say they see absolutely nothing wrong with that. That’s why so many people are finally realizing that MAGA actually stands for “Morons Are Governing America.”

I'm not sure $50 is enough to waste a couple of hours watching. Mr. Bezos, fund your newspaper and other businesses. $75 million for empty theaters. Hmmm

The last stop of the 2025 Baseball Tour finds us in Comerica Park in Detroit to watch the Tigers and Twins. Beautiful ball park, great game, and a successful tour! San Francisco’s Oracle Park is the last one on the list. The Tour continues at a letter date!
Game 3 of the 2025 Baseball Tours finds us in beautiful downtown Cleveland at Progressive Field and the Guardians host St. Louis. A sell out crowd of 37,787 enjoyed the heat and late sunset, but the Cardinals shut out Cleveland 5-0.
An added bonus to the 2025 Baseball Tour was a stop last night in Indianapolis to see the Indiana Fever and LA Sparks. Caitlin Clark was injured and did not play, but the excitement in the building was breath taking! A full house!!
2025 Baseball Tour opened in Chicago this afternoon with a visit to Rate Field on the South Side to see the White Sox beat Arizona 7-3. Beautiful park with several great, little known features. This is stadium 27 on the way to see a game in all 30 major league parks!
