When the center-fielder saved the flag

How about talking about something other than district judges and injunctions? Yes, I’m angry about that, too. But today let’s remember one spring day in Dodger Stadium,* when they used to play day games. We remember Rick Monday, a pretty good outfielder who played for the A’s, Cubs, and Dodgers. His best years were with the Cubs (1972–76), when he hit 106 home runs and was a very tough out. Later he moved to the L.A. Dodgers and hit a 9th-inning home run to beat Montreal in the 1981 NLCS. However, his greatest baseball moment had nothing to do with hits or home runs.

Even after the loss of the Harris-Walz ticket last November, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) continues to find himself making headlines. Last week, he dared to still go after Elon Musk, even after a district attorney in his state, Mary Moriarty, is seeking diversion rather than criminal charges for a state employee who allegedly caused over $20,000 in damages to six Teslas, which is a felony. Walz also ranted and raved against President Donald Trump at his state of the state address that same week. During memorable moments he seemed particularly proud of, Walz talked about freedom.
"Here in Minnesota, that freedom means several things,"
A Good Day For The Navy
3 replies
Has the U.S. grown ashamed of its military victories? There are reasons to believe this is true. In April 1988, the U.S. Navy effectively destroyed the Iranian navy following a mine attack on the destroyer USS Roberts. The Navy sank an Iranian frigate, four armed speedboats, blew up two armed oil platforms, and damaged another frigate in one of the shortest and most successful campaigns of the postwar period. Yet even today, there is no actual name attached to the engagement. It’s known simply as “Operation Praying Mantis,” not the obvious “Battle of the Persian Gulf.”
More recent events can also act as evidence for cynicism toward American feats

Here at American Thinker, we predicted that AOC is a real possibility as the 2028 Democrat party presidential candidate. Yesterday, AOC made it plain that she thinks so, too. AOC’s appeal to the left is obvious: She’s female, glib, telegenic, well-recognized, vaguely Hispanic, antisemitic, and a truly leftist ideologue. Bernie Sanders rightly sees her as the bridge between his old-fashioned class warfare and the new multi-culti warfare, both vehicles for the Marxist overthrow of the West. That’s why the two of them have been appearing in venues across America to rally the true believers.
Hillary Clinton does not have a reputation for honesty. Indeed, ever since she burst onto the political scene, the one guarantee with Hillary was that you couldn’t trust her. Whole articles have been published about the whoppers she’s told over the decades (see, e.g., here and here). One thing, though, that’s always seemed to be true is her claim to have graduated from Yale Law School. After hearing her latest pronouncement, though, I must admit to having my doubts about that statement, too. One of the things that’s pretty clear in the United States Constitution, which has traditionally been part of the curriculum at American law schools
The Death of the Center-Left in America

The center-left in the United States is no longer a viable political force. Once among the largest segments in the political spectrum, it meekly surrendered to and has been essentially absorbed by the American Marxists. This was a realignment almost entirely due to the breathtaking level of gullibility and ignorance of ostensibly well-educated self-described liberals.
Over the years, this naïveté and obliviousness have been a source of amusement and head-shaking incredulity. However, these traits have now become so dominant among an ever-growing segment within American society that the future of this nation as a prosperous and freedom-loving country is in serious jeopardy.
If history is any indication, justice will not be blind—Karmelo Anthony is O.J. Simpson all over again.
At this point, Karmelo Anthony’s family has raised more than $450,000 on the back of his crime (which reminds me to never use GiveSendGo again). They’re praising him, acting like he’s a victim who suffering under an unjust legal system: A quick scroll through the fundraiser’s comments reveals that a sizable portion of the black community agrees, saying this is what the “colonizers” get—let’s be honest, they didn’t know or use that term until the white leftist academics started propagandizing with it—and noting that the FBA is behind him “no matter what.”
Pam Bondi’s ability to manage the Department of Justice has come under increased scrutiny from the right. File releases are delayed or mismanaged. No apparent action is taken against subversive government officials. And J6ers and other victims of a weaponized DoJ remain unsatisfied. Many have raised the question of whether Pam Bondi was the right choice for MAGA attorney general. Many more, including President Trump, would be questioning her bona fides if they knew about Bondi’s role in the creation of Black Lives Matter.
How Trump handles the DoJ will be crucial to the success of his second term.
The FBI Knew All Along

You do not have to wade far into the recently declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents to be shocked. I had only read three pages of the FBI’s December 19, 2016 interview with the DoJ’s Bruce Ohr before learning just how early in the game the FBI brass knew that the Steele dossier was worthless. In the way of background, on July 31, 2016, the FBI launched its counterintelligence operation into the Trump campaign, codenamed “Crossfire Hurricane.” FBI agent Peter Strzok was assigned to head it up.
If the goal was to cripple Trump regardless of the evidence, Strzok was the man for the job.
Wisconsin’s Supreme Court Election Screams

In the Wisconsin state election held on April 1, 2025, hard-left Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford, who was adamantly opposed to Voter IDs, faced off against conservative Brad Schimel. Crawford won (55% to 45%), garnering 237,884 more votes than Schimel out of a total of 2,364,372 votes cast. In the same election, 63% of voters supported an amendment to the Wisconsin state constitution requiring a voter ID. The voter ID amendment carried every one of Wisconsin’s 72 counties except Dane County (where Madison is) and Milwaukee County. The disconnect between the two outcomes is stunning until you look under the hood.

We were posted at the front of a large public high school auditorium in the Land of the Free in 2015. Both of us were responsible for maintaining some semblance of order as 150 to 200 students socialized, did homework, and ate lunch. I can’t tell you what my partner saw, but I saw girls sitting on their boyfriends’ laps. I noticed a student climbing over chairs to get from A to B. Some students were throwing things. We discouraged all this, of course, but the scene reminded me of Wild West cattle drives I’d seen on TV.
The Uniparty is determined to severely undermine President Trump’s efforts to rebalance trade agreements worldwide and bring back millions of jobs from overseas.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the implementation of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, effective April 5, 2025. The worst offenders will be hit with even tougher measures on April 9.
Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, President Trump proclaimed April 2 as “Liberation Day,” marking a new era of economic independence. He emphasized that this measure is essential to protect American jobs and revitalize domestic manufacturing.

Biden’s Decline: ‘We Should Have Done Better’ 33 replies
While accepting an award at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, Axios reporter Alex Thompson acknowledged that he and other members of the mainstream media failed to properly report on President Biden’s declining mental acuity.
“Being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves,” Thompson said as he accepted the Aldo Beckman Award for Overall Excellence in White House Coverage. “We, myself included, missed a lot of this story.”
“President Biden’s decline and its cover-up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception,” he added.
“Some people trust us less because of it,”
On Monday, a House Democrat introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, kicking off a bid that has virtually no chance of succeeding in the Republican-led Congress.
The impeachment resolution from Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) accuses Trump of “high crimes and misdemeanors” over alleged constitutional violations related to taxpayer funds, deportations, tariffs, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort led by Elon Musk, retaliation against the press, and others.
“Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,” Thanedar said
Former first lady Michelle Obama voiced deep concerns about what’s happening to migrants under President Trump’s aggressive deportation policy, railing against its impact on her home city of Chicago.
During a conversation about race and fear, the former first lady acknowledged that she has a pretty protected lifestyle, while fretting that everyday people living outside her bubble might be suffering.
“In this current climate, for me it’s what’s happening to immigrants,” Obama, 61, told “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” during a podcast episode that dropped Monday when asked her most “recent test of fear.”
“It’s not the fear for myself anymore,”

“Deranged” doesn’t even begin to cover the LGBTQ++ qweirdos anymore.
According to a new item by Reduxx journalist Amy Hamm, a diaper-wearing pervert has just won a years-long court battle to force his health insurance provider to cover the cost of a very “unique” surgery: he’s keeping his penis, but he’s adding a fake “neo-vagina” between his male appendage and his…waste hole.
I’m assuming that means he’s lopping off his testes? Blech, who knows.
With the average cost of a new car edging toward the $50,000 mark, affordable, basic transportation is becoming increasingly difficult for many Americans.
Slate, a new EV startup backed by Jeff Bezos, believes its new $25,000 pickup truck, which could cost less than $20,000 with tax credits, could help change that, its CEO, Chris Barman, told Business Insider.
"There's a massive population of people out there when it comes to safe, reliable, affordable transportation; there just really aren't many alternatives for them," Barman said in an interview ahead of the unveiling of the new EV this week.

Illinois Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker, apparently beginning his quest for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, called for “mass protests” and “destruction” in an evident attempt to outflank any other prospective candidate in rhetoric targeting the Trump administration.
An average of recent polls of prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidates found that former Vice President Kamala Harris led with 27.1%, followed by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 16.1%, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at 12.9%, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker at 8.6%, and California Governor Gavin Newsom at 7.9%. Pritzker ranked 10th with 3.2%.
Speaking at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on Sunday, Pritzker bellowed, “Never before
In the latest episode of “Political Theater on the Hill,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) are staging a sit-in protest on the steps of the US Capitol Building to argue against Republicans’ proposed budget.Congress is set to return to work after a two-week recess. It is expected to take up the budget bill during the upcoming session, which is why Jeffries and Booker are giving this particular performance. From ABC News.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), during a ridiculous "sit-in" on the steps of the Capitol, invoked Civil War-era rhetoric to portray Democrats as "patriots" and the Republican party as "traitors."
Jeffries' controversial comments came during a staged protest on the steps of Congress, where he was initially joined by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ/Sparta) and then accompanied by several other Democrats and their colleagues. This was by design, an attempt to make their "sit-in" appear to be an organic swelling of support—impressive in their own minds, much like Booker's fake 25-hour filibuster. Rev. William Barber joined the exercise in futility. He discussed putting “principles over party," triggering Jeffries to
A liberal Minnesota prosecutor receiving backlash for letting a Tesla vandal off easy is now pushing to reduce “racial disparities” in sentencing.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty’s office will consider a defendant’s “racial identity” when weighing potential plea deals starting Monday, KARE 11 reported. Moriarty drew criticism days earlier after declining to prosecute an employee in Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration who keyed six Tesla vehicles and caused more than $21,000 in damage.
“While racial identity and age are not appropriate grounds for departures [from the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines], proposed resolutions should consider the person charged as a whole person, including their racial identity and age,” a memo
An Illinois state legislator is pushing to move the United States Department of Agriculture out of Washington D.C., and into the heart of farm country.
State Rep. Regan Deering, R-Decatur, has introduced House Resolution 177 urging President Donald Trump and the U.S. Congress to begin the process of relocating the USDA from Washington, D.C., to central Illinois.
Deering emphasized that crops don’t grow in a swamp, they grow in the fertile plains of central Illinois. She added that it's time the government relocated the USDA to a place where people are focused on planting crops, not just pushing paper.
“Bloomington and Decatur are home to major agribusiness giants like Archer-Daniels-Midland, Gromiant, Gromark and

Former Vice President Kamala Harris wants to propel herself back into the national political conversation, as former aides are teasing an upcoming major speech criticizing President Donald Trump. The failed presidential candidate will deliver the keynote speech at the Emerge 20th anniversary gala at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET.
The speech will be live-streamed, according to the organizer Emerge, a Democratic group that recruits and trains women to run for public office. It's a major fundraiser as tickets cost up to $50,000 for a sponsor. But the group is also charging $25 per virtual watch. Harris is expected to deliver a 'call to action,'
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) announced Monday that he will step out of the top Democratic seat on the powerful Oversight and Government Reform Committee, citing the return of the esophagus cancer he’s been battling since late last year.
Connolly said he will also be leaving Congress at the end of the term, his ninth serving Northern Virginia in the House.
“The sun is setting on my time in public service, and this will be my last term in Congress. I will be stepping back as Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee soon,” Connolly said in a statement addressing his constituents.
