1. Brokered the Abraham Accords, normalizing Israel-Arab relations without concessions, unlike Obama's stalled efforts. 2. Defeated ISIS caliphate decisively, restoring stability in regions Obama left chaotic. 3. Avoided starting new wars, prioritizing diplomacy over intervention, contrasting Obama's Libya and Syria escalations. 4. Advanced North Korea talks, halting nuclear tests temporarily, building on Obama's ignored outreach. 5. Fostered India-Pakistan ceasefire and Balkan peace nominations, earning multiple prizes while Obama's award preceded achievements.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC. To all those who bravely served our country, thank you to you and your family for your extraordinary service. The sacrifices that all of you have made to protect our country will be honored, today and every day.

@DavidFo25871896 @JohnAxford Great left-handed hitting playing card of a. right-handed hitter. Typical Uecker goofing around. The Topps people never caught the error.

That was special to read. Thanks for sharing. There isn't a dry eye in Wisconsin today. He will be missed. I've been listening to him since 1981, when I was a young boy. I was able to get to see many games at County Stadium when we lived down in & near MKE. Even when we moved over an hour away, I made sure to make it to at least a few games a year. When I was outta school, living in Oshkosh, I made sure to make it to at least 10 games a year. The rest I listened to Uecker on the radio. Somehow, it was almost better than watching on TV. He was a joy to listen to. I had always wanted to get a Bob Uecker baseball card & came up short on ebay so many times. A few months ago, I was bidding on his card & said I'm not losing this one, so I over paid a bit but it's worth it. I have a friend who was working at AmFam field last year & told me that he might be able to get him to sign it for me this up coming season. Now I'll never get that opportunity. So damn sad to hear his passing. The city of Milwaukee must now do the right thing..... American Family Insurance presents "BOB EUCKER FIELD". It has to happen. Rest in peace Euck. You'll be very missed. (Not my card but same as the one I have)

When I returned to Milwaukee for that one fateful game in 2021, after blowing out my elbow and walking off the mound, I was emotional and unsure of what to do for days. Until one afternoon, Bob and I chatted in the food room at the stadium… he asked what my plan was. I told him my options; surgery and try again or walk away happy with my career. When I told him I didn’t know what to do, he told me “No, you do know! No one knows what it’s like to be out there! How much you put in. They’re not like us Axy! People just don’t get it!” He was fired up (there may have been a lot more swearing haha). He kept going. I listened. He was still a player at heart. Every day. He loved the game and the players in it. When he spoke to you on this level he was your teammate. His emotion, passion, and words that day resonated with me more than anyone or anything else. It lead me to surgery and an 18 month journey just to get out there and pitch one last time. He was right! In August this past summer I was fortunate to briefly chat with Bob in the Brewers clubhouse. Still as great as ever and still one of the boys. Laughing it up but also expressing that serious and empathetic side that people outside the clubhouse rarely saw. I’m happy I got that brief moment in time. Bob was an absolute treasure to the game. I’m so grateful for that conversation in 2021. I’m grateful for the time I got to spend with him in my playing career. Even when I wasn’t playing for Milwaukee he would take the time to catch up on the field before games. I feel lucky to have had such a legendary voice call so many of my moments on the mound. Hearing him say “heeee struck him out!” in those late innings to end a close game felt exhilarating. His excitement during those calls always made me feel larger than life on the mound when I heard them after. Or perhaps he was just happy I finally got out of the heart palpitating jam I put myself in to begin with! Haha. He called me Axy in person…one of the only people in the game to ever call me that! So in turn, I would call him Uecky! He made you feel special. An undeniable character through and through. Irreplaceable. An immense loss to baseball and the wonderful city of Milwaukee. We’ll all miss him. Love you Uecky

@LilySZhao Feeling sad but understanding. Glad we had him as long as we did. Burnes was the best pitcher ever to play for the Brewers. MLB economics is broken enough that we'll rarely see great players stay with their original team in the future.

@brewer_fanatic Need to extend Contreras and sign Woody to a low-pay first year with an incentive based serious money second year. Lorenzen would stabilize a shaky back of the rotation. Need more power at third base (Turner?)

@BrewersRaptor Would love to see them extend Contreras on a long-term and resign Woodruff to at least a two year deal paying him a small amount this year to rehab and giving him serious money the second year loaded with incentives.

Newest Brewers INF Christian Arroyo hitting a go-ahead grand slam Reading beyond his stats, everything I’ve saw suggests he is a great clubhouse/personality guy No options left so assuming he signed a big league deal he will have to stay on the roster

Could the Brewers lure Adames into signing a future contract similar to the one Hoskins accepted?

@ByJackStern Love it!! Playing GM, I targeted him early in the off- season as a perfect fit for their first base opening. Got real tired of seeing projections that he was bound for the Cubs.

Thoughts on the Brewers' reported signing of Rhys Hoskins. This isn't a typical Brewers move, even if it's a short-term deal. Given the state of the roster and Hoskins' availability, this may have been the time to make an exception. brewcrewball.com/2024/1/24/2404…

On this day in 2018, the Brewers signed free agent Lorenzo Cain to a five year 80 million dollar contract and acquired future MVP Christian Yelich in a trade with Miami.

@IKE_Packers @packers Part of a championship mentality is being disciplined. Selfishness leads to failure. Alexander is a talented young man in need of a wakeup call. How he responds to Packers wakeup will determine his future in GB.

@IKE_Packers @dallascowboys @packers I believe, when they make the change, that it is critical to consider past coordinator success in the decision making process. They need to get it right this time. No more guessing!

@Brewers As a loyal fan, I know I have to trust what management is trying to do, but, it's hard to understand how the team can give up two reliable major league pieces for one injured minor league player that will not contribute to the major league team next season.
