We can hope the 2 WV National Guardsmen survive their injuries while opposing the policy which led to their deployment. We can also want the perpetrator to be held responsible w/o collective punishment to be administered to all Afghan refugees.

I am in New York City & this afternoon I went to the Paley Center for Media to view concert footage of David Ackles performing on a TV program called "One of a Kind" which originally aired on KCET, a PBS affiliate in Los Angeles in November 1973.

Former MLB pitcher Dave Morehead has died at the age of 82. Morehead threw a no-hitter for the Boston Red Sox against the Cleveland Indians on 09/16/1965 at Fenway Park in front of only 1,247 fans. This was his day as a baseball immortal. RIP

The Boston Red Sox have acquired veteran pitcher Sonny Gray from the St. Louis Cardinals. Gray matched a career high with 14 wins for the Redbirds in 2025. He will be a solid number two starter behind Garrett Crochet. This is a solid trade.

Warren Schaeffer will remain manager of the Colorado Rockies despite his 36-86 record as interim manager following Bud Black's dismissal en route to a 43-119 record. I suspect that Schaeffer is managing the club because no one else wants the job.

After charges were dropped against James Comey & Letitia James, you'd think the Trump Admin would put their political retribution agenda on hold. Instead, the Pentagon is investigating AZ Senator Mark Kelly for sedition. When will they ever learn?

A few nights ago, I saw "Uncle Buck" on the big screen. Last month, I saw documentary "John Candy: I Like Me" to a sold-out crowd. Alas, there were no more than 6 people at the theatre. A movie like "Uncle Buck" needs an audience.

I am glad Marjorie Taylor Greene is leaving Congress. That's one less anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist in the House of Representatives. Conspiracy theorists belong on the fringe, and I hope that is where she is headed and will remain.

Zac Segal, President of BU College Republicans, took credit for an ICE raid at a carwash earlier this month resulting in the arrest of 9 workers. I suspect his only "evidence" those arrested had no right to be here is because they have brown skin.

If not for the forceful advocacy of her family, ICE may very well have deported Letitia Jacobo despite the fact that she is Native American. Should this ever come to pass we must ask the Trump Admin: Where exactly do we deport a Native American?
