The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Summers in Wisconsin will never be the same.

It’s time for Ohtani to stop mooching off his buddies and pick up a glove. He’s been riding his teammates’ coattails for far too long.
