Luis Arraez is hitting .352/.392/.533 in his last 50 games. I miss him…

Randy Moss had 43 touchdowns of over 40+ yards. Calvin Johnson had 83 total touchdowns. There is no comparison.

@LaVelleNeal We can only hope!

Maybe Joe Ryan remembers how he pitched to the NL behemoths when the Twins are in the World Series this year.

2009 MLB All-Star Game. Joe Mauer RBI double off Chad Billingsley. 1st career All-Star Game RBI. American League wins 4-3.

Jack Morris looked his manager dead in the eye and said he was not coming out of that game. Ten shutout innings in Game 7, 1991. Anybody pitching a bigger game than that?

Rod Carew, 7-time batting champ and 18-time All-Star enjoyed his best season in 1977 when he made a run at .400, ending up at .388 with a league leading 239 hits, 128 runs scored, 16 triples, and a .449 OBP to go with 23 stolen bases, 14 homers and 100 RBI.

@kevincorke Agreed, Kevin. May the Lord Bless and Keep the Captain.

"Sunday would come and that little ball park would be packed way before game time, everybody wanting to see the great Rube Waddell pitch. Nowhere to be found! Manager'd be having a fit. And then just a few minutes before the game time there'd be a commotion in the grandstand; You'd hear people laughing and yelling: "Here comes Rube! Here comes Rube!" And there he'd come right through the stands. He'd jump down onto the field, cut across the infield to the clubhouse, taking off his shirt as he went, and in about three minutes — he never wore any underwear — he'd run back out in uniform and yell: "All right let's get 'em!" Sam Crawford. "He won 21 games, led the league in strikeouts with 302, starred in Vaudeville, led a marching band thru Jacksonville, got engaged, married, separated, rescued a log he thought was a drowning woman, accidentally shot a friend AND was bitten by a lion. Rube liked chasing fire trucks, wrestling alligator's and taught geese to skip rope. Tigers Mgr. Hughie Jennings would distract him on the mound by waving children's toys at him". Rube Waddell, 1903. An inveterate alcoholic, the term 'Sousepaw' was apparently coined for him. In 1909 he got so drunk during a game that he passed out on the mound and when roused by his manager, threatened to shoot and kill him. Rube Waddell, who once struck out a record 349 batters in one season, died of tuberculosis at the age of 37. The Hall of Famer compiled a career 193-143 record along with an ERA of 2.16. "You're a liar. There ain't no, "Hotel Episode" in Detroit." Rube Waddell, upon reading a letter from American League President that he was being fined $100 for his part in a, "hotel episode" in Detroit.

These are the Deep State Democrats who forced Richard Nixon to resign the presidency on August 9, 1974. The first thing you should notice is that only one of them was actually a Democrat. READ ON: #Watergate #JFK #Assassination First up is Alexander Haig. Soon after the Watergate arrests, investigators established links between Haig, the Burglars, and the JFK assassination. This is what the Watergate cover-up was really about. Second, we have Gerald Ford. In a deal with Haig, Warren Commissioner Ford agreed to step in for Nixon and issue a pardon which effectively saved Haig. Then we have Haig's career-long consigliere, Joseph Califano. Joe is the only Democrat on the list. In addition to plotting the JFK assassination with Haig in 1963, Joe was the top lawyer to the DNC and the Washington Post at the time if the Watergate break-in. In cahoots with Haig, he played a huge role publishing the Woodward and Bernstein articles, which were designed to lead the American people away from Haig and towards Nixon's reelection committee (CREEP). Next we have Dick Cheney. Bob Woodward's fictional Deep Throat character was based entirely on Cheney's realities (chain-smoker, scotch-drinker, White House aide, Woodward's Yale schoolmate, knew too much literature too well, etc.). The make-believe Deep Throat story was designed to lead investigators and the American people away from Haig and towards Nixon's reelection committee (CREEP). Then there's Donald Rumsfeld. Immediately after the Watergate arrests, Rumsfeld -- who was then a cabinet-level aide to the President -- initiated an investigation to find out what was really going on. Via an interview with burglar Frank Surgis, Rumsfeld learned that Haig had worked in the same operational loop as CIA officer Howard Hunt in 1963 -- on assassinations. With this information, Rumsfeld was able to piece together the JFK puzzle. This gave him extraordinary power, as he and Cheney were suddenly in a position where they could cut a sweet deal with Haig. They became the second and third most powerful people in the Ford White House. Down on the bottom left is Alexander Butterfield. Butterfield, like Haig, had secretly worked on assassinations with Consigliere Califano (and the CIA's Cuban exiles) in the 1960s. In collusion with Haig and Woodward, Butterfield agreed to reveal the White House taping system which captured the conversation during which the President told Bob Haldeman to obstruct justice by telling the CIA to tell the FBI to lay off Watergate. Last, we have Bob Woodward, who wrote all the bogus Watergate stories blaming CREEP and protecting Haig. Among other things, in 1969 and 1970, Bob had secretly worked in the Nixon White House, carrying communications between the Pentagon and the NSC, where Haig worked. This means Woodward had worked with and or for the very same people he pretended to investigate after the Watergate break-in. In fact, he worked directly under Admiral Thomas Moorer, who (with the help of Admiral Robert Welander and Yeoman Charles Radford) stole documents from NSC insiders and fed them back to Haig, the lead Plumber! Yes, Bob Woodward himself was arguably a part of the White House Plumbers operation. For much, much more, please see my X timeline and or read Against Then and Sins of the Vicar by Tegan Mathis. That's me.

@redheadranting No. I was in sports and being seen there would have meant I was off the team(s) East Central Minnesota.

@the1BigK Did you utilize it?

Did your high school have a smoking section for students?

Inhale-gate 🤣

Thirteen brothers stood in a single row—and the photograph captured far more than their faces. In the late 1950s, beneath the Tennessee sky, thirteen brothers gathered in front of the farmhouse where they had spent their childhood. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary family portrait. But behind every man standing shoulder to shoulder was a lifetime of shared memories forged under the same roof. That modest farmhouse had witnessed countless mornings before sunrise, long days of work, crowded supper tables, and the constant noise that comes with raising a large family. Within those walls, the brothers learned lessons that could not be found in books—how to work together, how to shoulder responsibility, and how to rely on one another when times became difficult. As the years passed, each brother followed his own path into adulthood. Some built families of their own, others chased opportunities beyond the fields they once knew, yet the bond formed during childhood never disappeared. Their expressions in the photograph reveal a quiet confidence shaped by years of discipline, perseverance, and mutual respect. Though life had taken them in different directions, they remained connected by something stronger than distance—a shared upbringing rooted in loyalty and hard work. The house behind them was more than lumber and nails; it was the place where their character had been built. For their parents, this gathering represented something even deeper. It was the reward for years of sacrifice, determination, and faith in the values they had worked to pass on. Through economic hardships, changing times, and the challenges every family faces, they had created a home where unity remained stronger than circumstance. Today, the photograph stands as more than a family reunion frozen in time. It is a reminder that some of the greatest legacies are not measured by wealth, fame, or recognition, but by the people who stand beside one another through every season of life. And looking at those thirteen brothers together, it raises a simple question—what is the true measure of a life well lived if not the family and bonds that endure long after the years have passed?

BREAKING: Ambassador Huckabee reveals that the U.S. Embassy was never informed of Khanna’s trip. This punctures a massive hole in Khanna’s story.

Twenty-two fathers spent eleven days cutting a road through a West Virginia mountain, and the woman waiting at the end of their work would spend the next thirty-one years repaying the favor. In the autumn of 1931, Alice Bowman arrived in McDowell County, West Virginia, eager to begin her first teaching job at a one-room schoolhouse tucked into a hollow beneath Spruce Mountain. She was only twenty-four years old, recently graduated, and ready to teach. But there was one problem. There was no road to the school. For generations, local children had traveled by foot along a narrow forest path, and no one had ever needed a wagon road before. Alice came from outside the hollow and needed a way to reach the school each day. When county officials explained there was no money available to build a road and suggested she simply walk the mountain trail, the families of the hollow decided that answer was not good enough. The following Sunday, after church services ended, twenty-two fathers gathered to discuss the problem. A farmer named Caleb Hensley stood and said they had asked a teacher to come educate their children, and the least they could do was make sure she could get there. He announced he would begin work on Monday and invited anyone willing to help. Every single father showed up. For eleven days they worked by hand, using shovels, pickaxes, mule teams, and generations of knowledge about the mountain they called home. They cut through rock, shaped grades, managed drainage, and slowly carved a road where none had existed before. On the twelfth day, Alice guided her wagon up the newly completed road while families lined both sides to watch her arrival. When she reached the schoolhouse, she stepped down, looked at the road, looked at the men who had built it, and for a moment could not find the words. Then she walked over to Caleb Hensley, shook his hand, and made a promise. She told him she would teach their children as long as they needed her. Most promises made in emotional moments fade with time. This one did not. Alice Bowman taught in that hollow for the next thirty-one years, traveling that same road day after day. The fathers had built a road to bring a teacher to their community, but what they truly built was an opportunity for generations of children who would pass through her classroom. And looking back on that mountain road today, you have to wonder: how many lives were changed because a group of ordinary people decided that someone else's journey mattered as much as their own?

Congrats to former #Gophers HC Tubby Smith who will be inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame! He won national championship at Kentucky and took 5 programs (Tulsa, Georgia, Kentucky, Minnesota, Texas Tech) to the NCAA Tournament. He also had stops at Memphis and High Point, his alma mater. gopherhole.com/boards/threads…

Maris: “I don’t know what to talk about. I don’t know what I’m supposed to say.” Mantle: “I don’t know, Rog. I mean, I’ve been living with you most of the season and I don’t know nothing about you.” Maris: “Well, I was raised in Fargo. I played baseball, basketball, football. I married my high school sweetheart. Chose baseball. I played in the minors, came up with Cleveland, traded to Kansas City and then I came here.” Mantle: “You’re right, don’t talk to them.” Roger Maris was concerned the New York writers were turning on him!

I took a deep dive through my local police department last night... What I found is pretty shocking. Apparently, Hispanic ILLEGAL ALIENS are being labeled "WHITE" in arrest records. Whatever the "WHITE" crime rate actually is, it's far lower than you could possibly imagine.

Does everyone realize Democrats just admitted that the illegal alien killed today — after he rammed his car into an ICE agent — had a Social Security number? They said the quiet part out loud that they swore didn’t happen. 🤷🏻‍♀️
