These announcers are horrible. They say it’s amazing that Ohtani could pitch into the seventh inning after playing 18 innings yesterday. He played DH. And was walked in five of nine plate appearances. C’mon.

Ability to challenge ball-strike calls can’t come fast enough.
The Blue Jays would've had a bases-loaded, no-out situation if not for this rough call.

This has to be a parody account.
There’s something poetic about Donald Trump actually earning a Nobel Peace Prize on the exact day Barack Obama received his fake one.

I still can’t figure out why anyone would think there is a racism problem in MAGA-world.
Jasmine Crockett’s @JasmineForUS homeboys and homegirls are big mad I called her what she is: Ghetto. I guess I finna watch my back. God forbid Shaniqua pops a cap in my ass. You feels me?

Trump is absolute slime. Full stop.
Trump has removed Biden’s photo at the White House with a photograph of an autopen in its place.

From what I’m reading, the indications are Tyler Robinson is a Groyper, a follower of ultra right extremist Nick Fuentes. If true (actually even if it doesn’t) I would hope Trump would walk back his blaming “the radical left” for the death of Kirk. I’m not holding my breath.

Three years after The Courier Journal sold its building, the newspaper's offices are moving from Broadway to a tall building on Main Street.

I heard a quote from John Wooden today that made me think of Donald Trump. "Never mistake activity for achievement."

Who would have thought Russia, China and North Korea would strengthen their alliance after Donald Trump has belittled American allies and has refused to help as they have aided Ukraine as it battles Russian aggression?

With his first NCAA loss under his belt, we should point out now that Bill Belichick has a 83-104 NFL record in games when the starting QB didn't have the initials T.B.

I have been a reporter or columnist for nearly 38 years and never has anyone given me a potato chip bag full of money. Heck, they haven't given me a potato chip bag full of potato chips.

No pork sandwich? We at the Church of Swinetology object.

The Kentucky Pork Producers aren't selling pork chop sandwiches at the Kentucky State Fair for the first time in over 40 years. How could this be?

If Joe Biden ever spoke like this, Jamie Comer would be subpoenaing every member of his administration trying to prove he had dementia.
Trump: "There will be some changes in land ... Russia has taken some very prime territory. They've taken largely ocean -- in real estate we call it oceanfront property. That's always the most valuable property."
