@AriFleischer The idea of a Black Caucus is racist.

It’s not the Congressional Black Caucus. It’s the Congressional Democratic Black Caucus. The CBC won’t let black Republicans in.

Without saying your age Name a great NFL return specialist you grew up watching…

@_NoahHiles And now to follow the NFL what was once for all to see requires subscriptions that some fans either have to pick and choose from what they could afford, or don’t watch “historic” games and overall viewership is down.

The NFL rose to the top because of its convenient viewing schedule and high quality action on the field. Its extensive international schedule dilutes this formula, but the league doesn't care. Money is money -- no matter what. My column: post-gazette.com/sports/steeler…

@AriFleischer Never in my 67 years did I think our country would deteriorate to the level that it has.

they spy on their opponents. They impeach their opponents. They arrest their opponents. They throw their opponents off the ballot. And now they “shape the future” in case they don’t like an outcome. Who’s the threat to democracy?

@ClintHurdle13 @espn @Reds @USABaseball George is the single nicest, most genuine person I know. A pioneer in sportscasting for sure. Appeared on the very first SportsCenter on ESPN.

5/16 🤔’s from Hartford CT 🏟️⚾️🐐 I spent yesterday morning with one of my dearest friends. George Grande is an icon in broadcasting @espn @Reds @USABaseball and as good a man as you’ll ever meet. He has humility dripping from him and more compassion than you can imagine. He also is wise. Common sense is not common and George has as much common sense as I’ve ever encountered in a person. 🤔 Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done. - Josh Billings Success is more a function of consistent common sense than it is of genius. - An Wang Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge George is uncommon and a nan of tremendous faith. I’m blessed to have him as a friend Make a difference today Love Clint

If you could only watch one sport for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

@baseballinpix This is what is missing from MLB today

Alan Tramell leaping high to complete a double play. He turned 1,307 double plays in his career, the 7th most by a shortstop.

@AlyssaRose The specialness of the Subway Series and Inter League play has lost its luster

I love living in Florida so so much, but on Subway Series Weekend when the Knicks are good (even if they're not playing) and it's Subway Series at Citi Weekend, my heart literally aches for home... That being said, sweep the Yankees this weekend and the Playoff Run begins. There's no logic to this, I've just decided

@BrettErickson28 Your opinion not fact

Does President Trump have any viable avenues to victory in Iran? Let's examine the potential pathways to success Washington has: 1) A Renewed Bombing Campaign - This option appears to be increasingly likely as President Trump returns back to the United States following the recent summit with Xi in Beijing. - However, it is my opinion that this is unlikely to yield any different results than the first bombing campaign. Iran has had now 32 days to resupply, reposition, and harden their defenses. The initial shock and awe campaign was successful in generating massive destruction within Iran, but unsuccessful in achieving any necessary strategic outcomes. - If the United States returns to a renewed bombing campaign, it is extremely unlikely to result in the toppling of the regime or major concessions at the negotiating table. - Result: Not Viable. 2) Continuation of the Blockade and Economic Warfare Campaign - This option would essentially be a continuation of the status quo we are currently seeing. This option would call for continued control over Iran's ability to export their energy products (at scale) via the Strait of Hormuz. This will undoubtedly impose significant economic pain on the Iranian regime and Iranian populous. - This strategy is not entirely without merit. It has been posited that if Iran is unable to draw sufficient revenues, and thus unable to pay the IRGC, the regime is increasingly likely to be toppled. It is also theorized that if the current inflation rates Iran is seeing turn into terminal hyperinflation, this could cause significant public unrest that could result in mass uprisings that topple the regime. Furthermore, the CONCERN that this could cause mass uprisings may be sufficient for the Iranian leadership to make major concessions at the negotiating table. - However, we need to understand a few keys aspects to this. First, it is likely that the Iranian regime has MORE support now domestically than they did before the conflict. Washington has not done themselves any favors in this capacity. With the notorious bombing of a school in the early days of the war, which killed ~175, alongside the constant rhetoric from President Trump including threatening to "destroy their entire civilization", partnered with the normal "rally around the flag" effect countries in war see, the willingness internally for the population to rise up and overthrow the regime as a result of economic hardship seems highly unlikely... but not impossible. - Result: Low Likelihood (but potentially viable). However, failure would only exponentially compound the damage to the global economy and wreak additional havoc on Asia and Africa that are increasingly facing insurmountable fertilizer and energy crises. 3) A United States Boots on the Ground Campaign - This could range in scale drastically from a CIA/SF style embedding within the Iranian resistance, to seizure of strategic positions such Kharg Island, to a full-scale invasion. In the best case scenario, the United States could hope to accomplish an Iraq-Invasion style steamrolling of Iran... - However, there are a plethora of hurdles to this. There is very low viability to being able to achieve success short of a full-scale ground invasion in a timeline that is viable for the global economy. This is what it all truly boils down to for any option. The TIMELINE in which strategic success could be achieved. The global economy does not have "six more months". The global economy likely does not even have "one more month". In addition, this is NOT a simple directive from the President that could see such actions taken. This would involve Congress, it would involve massive logistical planning, and overall is just not a viable pathway for a multitude of legal and operational reasons. - Lastly, there is simply no domestic support for such an extreme action. The American citizenry have no appetite to lose the lives of potentially tens of thousands of American soldiers for a ground invasion of Iran. It would also be the death knell for the legacy of Donald Trump, something he is desperately trying to cling on to as this quagmire continues to overshadow any other achievements he may have been able to hang his coat on. -Result: Not Viable 4) The Arming of the Iranian Resistance - This appears to have been attempted via the Iraqi Kurds in the early days of the war, but only resulted in the United States being swindled out of their weaponry. Let me be very clear here... good for the Kurds. They have treated horribly by the United States for decades, and we have turned our backs on them repeatedly despite them ALWAYS answering the call. Keep the weapons. You deserve them. - This is also a strategy that borders on evil. In the BEST case scenario, we are talking about inciting a massive civil war in Iran that would result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands. It would clearly be a proxy war for the United States and Israeli, and would be seen as such by most everyone in Iran except the most ardent opposition to the Iranian leadership currently in power. - And here is the real issue... It doesn't even have a high likelihood of success. The Iranian resistance is not particularly well organized or well trained. They do not have sufficient firepower even if armed by the United States and Israel to some degree, and I do not imagine many people want to give their lives being used as a pawn in the United States' geopolitical chess match. - Result: Low Likelihood, but devastating in even the most optimistic of outcomes. 5) Strike a Peace Deal... Hoping to Sell the US That it Was a Victory - This is likely the best option for President Trump... but it is unlikely that he will pursue this due to the fact that many American's are well aware that the United States has been check-mated by Iran in this conflict. Americans know that we have entirely botched this conflict from start to finish. We know that Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. And we know that any peace deal will result in a massive strategic victory for the Iranian regime, regardless of how aggressively President Trump tries to spin it. - This is IRREFUTABLY the best option for the globe. As much as I would love for the Iranian regime, which IS a terrorist regime, to be removed from power, as much as I would love all nuclear material to be removed from Iran and to see them never be able to threaten the world in this way... we need to operate in reality. The reality is that the United States is left with options that, at best, have a low likelihood of success. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for almost 11 weeks now. The world has permanently lost over a billion barrels of oil. The fertilizer crisis will result in the loss of thousands of lives. The global economy is sprinting towards a global recession.. and the United States has very few avenues to success, none of which are likely to be successful. - Any peace deal would see massive strategic and long-term benefit to Iran. Sanctions relief, control over the Strait (potentially, but unlikely), and a clear victory for the regime that will only further cement their control over the country. This will come to be, alongside the Epstein cover-up, the defining aspect of President Trump's legacy. - Result: Best Available Option (but unlikely to be pursued by Washington) Conclusion: - Washington is left with very few viable avenues to success. Any viable avenue is low-likelihood, and rife with catastrophic downsides if unsuccessful. - The best option for President Trump is to make major concessions at the negotiating table. This will include, at minimum, large scale sanctions relief that provides a massive boon to the Iranian economy and leadership, and provides a permanent cementing of the regimes power inside of Iran. This is the worst-case scenario for President Trump, but the necessary avenue for the global economy on the precipice of disaster.
