The girl’s mother got a 10 year prison sentence. 🤔

Awesome! We saw the Pulaski Yankees play the Johnson City Cardinals in Pulaski in 2019. Speaking of the APPY League, Mickey Tettleton is managing the Danville Otter Bots.

Jack Flaherty is overdue a good start. If he can fulfill the definition of a ‘quality start’ it would be a help to the bullpen.

Apparently the Tigers don’t want to leave Tampa yet.

Not

Hurter in to finish it.

Cramping is the word.

Anxious to hear what the injury (?) is.

What percent of this money is deferred?

I’m seeing Ryan Pepiot as the Rays’ starter and Sawyer Gipson-Long as the Tigers’ starter on the MLB app. We’ll know at game time I guess. Happy Summer Solstice!

Did our intel think they had WMD or were they directed to back that narrative? To this day I find it hard to believe that the US intel actually believed that some dude riding a jackass through the streets of Baghdad randomly firing off a rifle with a cigar in his mouth was any kind of threat, whatsoever, to the security of the United States. It just didn’t add up. It never will. It was a prefabricated lie. Colin Powell, the man that urged Bush, Sr. to end the Desert Storm Operation push when he did, is the same guy that did W’s dirty work in front of the congressional bodies to sell Americans on the lie that Hussein and Iraq posed a threat to our national security.

From today’s WSJ (The Weekend Interview) As Israel’s mission to destroy Iran’s nuclear capacity continues, a grave and obvious question confronts us: How did the West, the U.S. in particular, allow Tehran’s nuclear threat to grow unchecked for so long? David Albright, an American physicist and nuclear-weapons tracker, is among the world’s foremost experts on Iran’s nuclear program. He’s president of the Institute for Science and International Security, a nonprofit, nonpartisan institution that focuses on the spread of nuclear weapons to rogue nations and terrorists. On June 12, the day before the first Israeli attack, Iran could “make enough weapon-grade uranium for 11 nuclear weapons within a month,” Mr. Albright says. Pre-attack Iran was on track to have enough highly enriched uranium for 22 weapons in five months. https://www.wsj.com/opinion/iran-is-down-but-not-yet-out-nuclear-development-program-tehran-915d683d?mod=WTRN_pos2

The effect of tariffs is the big unknown.
