Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

To me it’s a beloved tune that I’ve sung in choruses, quartets, and taken the solo lead on. But I won’t stand up or doff my baseball cap when it’s sung. We’ve got one national anthem and that’s enough. We don’t need anymore signifiers of fealty or love of country. We’re loyal. We get it.
Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post:
God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

Essential read. Why boycotting Disney is the exact opposite of what needs to happen right now.
So, for everyone who saw my flurry of Sinclair-related activity last night, I'd like to explain why.

As a frequent visitor to Edgewater Park, this is great news.
Our lab-mix Luke treasures the dog beach there as his happy place. He loves to dive for sticks into Lake Erie. And with the progress being made on the overload system, the alerts are getting rarer and rarer. Happy Luke!

still no NFL Draft experts have asked us what position we think Cleveland should take with number 2 next week. which is too bad. because i think “sitting down” would be a funny reply.

fandom is infrastructure.
it runs deep. it’s tough to understand sometimes. it holds you up. it brings people together.
in seasons good and bad, it’s there. our awareness is heightened at times, but it’s just part of our lives.
and it endures.
go @cleguardians.com.
go cleveland.
