@TonySeruga The Rizzo Method🤣. Back in the mid-70s, I was at a concert on South Street in Philly. The cops told everyone to move back. I got whacked. Felt like a kidney punch. I looked at the cop surprised, "I'm moving. I'm moving." He said, "Not fast enough."

🚨 92 SECONDS. COPENHAGEN POLICE JUST HUMILIATED PRO-HAMAS TERROR BLOCKADERS — AND THE ENTIRE CONTINENT SHOULD BE TAKING NOTES. ☠️ In the grand tradition of Hobbes’ Leviathan and Max Weber’s monopoly on legitimate violence, the Danish state just reminded the world why civilized order exists. A mob of pro-Hamas radicals illegally blockaded Maersk HQ in Copenhagen — choking a private company, commerce, and the rule of law itself. In 92 seconds the Copenhagen police — helmets on, K9s unleashed, batons precise — dismantled the entire spectacle. No endless negotiations. No performative “dialogue.” Just swift, lawful force restoring the peace these ideologues sought to shatter. This wasn’t “police brutality.” This was a sovereign democracy refusing to surrender its streets to imported chaos and medieval hatred. While much of Europe lectures about “de-escalation” as radicals torch synagogues and blockade ports, Denmark simply enforced the social contract. Scholarly truth: when the state abdicates its monopoly on force, thugs seize it. Copenhagen chose not to. 📽️The video is pure catharsis for anyone tired of watching civilization kneel. Europe — learn or burn. 👇 #DenmarkSchooledTheMob #ProHamasCrushed #RuleOfLawWins #CopenhagenCops #NoMoreKneeling #HamasSympathizersGetTheDog #EuropeWakeUp #LeviathanAwake #MaerskStrong #StandWithCivilization

Game 7 of the World Series. Bottom of the 9th and the game is tied. Rickey Henderson is on 2nd and Tony Gwynn lines a single into RF You have your choice of any RF, of any era, to try and nab Henderson at Home. Who gets the call?

@Old_But_Gold50s Kawai pianos "are renowned for a warmer, richer, and more mellow tone." I heard that tone as soon as I passed over the post.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you see the Obama Presidential Center building?

This is the complete opposite of what we were made to believe as boys growing up. Men always thought that they were in control and notched their bedposts like gunslingers notched their holsters with their body counts of conquests. It is women not men who end relationships. The number one reason that women end relationships is that they lose patience with the man. Women when choosing a mate will look for a man who is economically viable. In a relationship over a period of time they measure a man by certain criteria of economic viability. Once those criteria over time go unfulfilled or the woman feels that they never will be fulfilled, she ends the relationship. But, what about nice guys? Women don't choose men because of their kindness. As Mike Krause (@HouseofKrause) says, "Kindness never got anyone laid." Ever since the sixties with no fault divorce, the ease of divorce, and the striking down of the taboos on living together, women have been given more time to rectify a mistake. To the disadvantage of women, it is time that is their greatest enemy.

@eMTBrides Galloway is consistently wrong on women being attracted to kindness. Women may generally want men they find attractive for other reasons to also be kind, but it's not a deal killer. Kindness never got anyone laid. youtube.com/shorts/0FR1On4…

Why 70% of Divorce Filings Are by Women Scott Galloway is sheer brilliance here 🤨 Amazing conversation! via Lewis Howes What do you all think? 🤔

@PaulMayne6 Jose Azcue. A could-have-been Brave. One of many reasons Milwaukee lost its fanbase and its edge by culling its talented minor leagues. December 15, 1961: Traded by the Milwaukee Braves with Ed Charles and Manny Jiménez to the Kansas City Athletics for Lou Klimchock and Bob Shaw.

Who’s your all-time favorite catcher that’s NOT a Tiger? I’ll go first … Manny Sanguillén 👍⚾️

@PaulMayne6 Didn't he strikeout a dozen times in the 1980 WS?

Who’s your all-time favorite center fielder that’s NOT a Tiger? I’ll go first … Willie Wilson … 👍⚾️

Private Property is one of the foundations of Western Civilization along with freedom of speech. America's Left is taking aim at both. The decline in the appreciation of private property, especially by the American people whose culture dominates the worldview of the world, might in the end destroy our will and initiative to achieve and hence, usher in a Marxian Age making mankind dependent upon the state. This decline in the sanctity of private property can best be seen in our American cities and even in our suburbs where things that have been labored upon by energetic individuals are considered attractive nuisances to be usurped by dog walkers, dirt bikers, squatters, vagrants, and vandals or shared with the less energetic as seen most recently in Mamdani's New York and Katherine Wilson's Seattle who either want to tax the Leisure Class, the wealth builders, or exile them.

In this video, Hayek explains why private property is the foundation of modern civilization.

@JoshWalkos The same in education practice. We opt for short term solutions for problems that require long-term solutions. Why? Because long-term solutions are more expensive and require cultural change both at the school district level and community level.

Anders Sørensen, a Danish clinical psychologist and researcher known for his work on psychiatric drug withdrawal and hyperbolic tapering, spoke Monday at the MAHA Institute summit about psychiatric drug dependency and withdrawal. Listen closely to what he says.

SNIP: The lesson is that for most of human history, the people most qualified to lead were the ones who didn't want to. And the moment a society starts rewarding those who chase power instead of those who flee from it is the moment the republic begins to die. This is true. It seems we have forgotten it today. I didn't learn this from history books. I learned it firsthand by being involved in township politics. Two things I learned in township politics: 1. If you want to shut up the biggest complainer, put them in charge. At first, they'll leap at the opportunity, then after about three to six months, they'll resign for personal reasons. 2. If you really need some one to lead, look to someone who doesn't want to lead. They'll usually do nothing which is generally speaking the best course of action. Number 2 follows the same counter-intuitive practice of asking a busy person to do something. A busy person will get it done. A person who has nothing to do will do nothing.

In 458 BC, Rome was on the brink of collapse. An invading army had trapped the Roman consul and his legion in a mountain pass. Panic spread through the city. The Senate did the only thing they could think of: They sent messengers to find a 60-year-old farmer plowing his field. His name was Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. He had once been a senator, then lost his fortune paying his son's bail. Now he worked his own four-acre plot just to feed his family. When the Senate's envoys arrived, they found him sweating behind a plow. They asked him to put on his toga so they could deliver an official message. The message: Rome was making him dictator. Absolute power. Total command of the army. No checks. No oversight. No term limit. He accepted. Within 16 days, Cincinnatus had raised an army, marched out, surrounded the enemy, and forced their surrender. The republic was saved. He had legal authority to rule for six months. He could have stayed. He could have expanded his power. He could have done what every other ruler in human history did when handed unlimited control. Instead, he resigned on day 16. He took off the toga, walked back to his farm, and finished plowing the field he'd left half-done. Twenty years later, when Rome faced another crisis, they called him back. He was 80 years old. He took command, crushed the conspiracy, and resigned again, this time after just 21 days. He died poor. On his farm. 2,200 years later, when George Washington was offered a kingship after winning the American Revolution, he refused and went home to Mount Vernon. The reason he was hailed as "the American Cincinnatus" is because Europeans literally could not believe a man who had won would willingly give up power. King George III, on hearing Washington would resign rather than rule, said: "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world." The lesson isn't that Cincinnatus was humble. The lesson is that for most of human history, the people most qualified to lead were the ones who didn't want to. And the moment a society starts rewarding those who chase power instead of those who flee from it is the moment the republic begins to die. Cincinnati, Ohio is named after him. Most people who live there have no idea why.

@BigLeagueDigest No. It's this one

Is this the best catch ever made by a center fielder?
