Retired after 43 years as AP sports writer (10 Olympics, 3 Super Bowls 1 fabulous World Series). Great memories fading with old age. Studiously avoiding politics (with mixed results) for my mental health.

Every American should read this. Shameful.

Just drove by a gas station. Up 40 cents from yesterday. $4 by sundown?

It’s hard in analyzing this nightmare of a government to separate the distraction part of it from the sheer evil part of it from the sheer incompetence of it

1 billion a day is enough to afford healthcare for all!

Where is this money coming from?

Jasmine Crockett has been and will continue to be a strong and important voice in our party. She was in my freshman class and became an immediate leader. Her work on behalf of the American people and Texas is just getting stated.

I am certain Jasmine Crockett will be a major player in future events

Wonder if the 16 quarterbacks who threw a TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald in his 17 seasons will attend the HOF ceremony. Of course one will be there

Don’t think I’ve ever voted for a Republican although I may have voted for Mark Hatfield once. I was too late for Tom McCall, perhaps the most un unRepublican Republican of all time

As baseball arrives, I am recalling that very long ago old timers day in Portland, where I met Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Whitey Ford. The honorary manager: Joe DiMaggio (who was very courteous to this exceedingly young reporter)

For everyone not familiar with NC politics: Roy Cooper won statewide elections in every presidential election year between 2000 and 2020. The only time the Democratic presidential candidate won NC in those years was Barack Obama in 2008.

Yeah, he’s popular. And damn good at winning.

US evangelicals have spent generations preparing to fight the Antichrist. But when he finally shows up, they just make him President.

Beware of people who refuse to ever admit they are wrong. They have no soul. #Noem

Trump was hosting a fund raiser at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, as the U.S. offensive began. The NYT reported last year that tickets for the dinner dance were $1M apiece. The optics of Trump partying while US soldiers died is partly what is behind the fact that today, #SendBarron trended on social media.

I wonder when the last time Trump experienced deep sadness for the loss of anyone's life. I doubt there is anyone, and I mean anyone, in his life whose death would emotionally move Trump.

Thank you for explaining this but I’m sure it will mostly fall on deaf ears.
