My favorite things: Mets, Jets, Flyers, Notre Dame, University of New Hampshire, the beach, nachos and my wonderful son. Dabbling in photography.

Reminder that the National Guard aren’t really trained for what they’re being asked to do.

BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel says during a press briefing that the two National Guard members shot near the White House are in “critical condition." This is a developing story.

That's the thing. Few or none of the Guardsmen are foaming at the mouth to do this stuff for Trump. No more than they were to go to Iraq. Maybe they agreed with the idea but if an HVAC repairman from Philadelphia thinks he's ready for combat, he has a problem.
I always think it’s dicey using soldiers as police. I recall MacDonald Fraser (very much a crusted conservative) talking about how, as a young soldier in N Africa post war, he and his comrades hated being aid to the civil power because they knew they weren’t trained for it and what could go wrong.

Trump didnt like the way a historian described him on BBC as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” So Trump threatened to sue.
Now the BBC has overcorrected—the line has been cut.
Not great that they caved

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Reading all the reactions to the #Nimmo #Mets trade. Lots of different ideas for what fans want the team to do. Which I think is why the trade overall is good: Opens lots more paths for them to compete. Can sign Tucker and a cheap defender at 1b or can sign Pete and a cheat corner OF or ….

Loved watching Brandon Nimmo. Loved his OBP.
Marcus Semien is a good ballplayer.
Optimistic he'll be a great fit.
Mets pls go sign Kyle Tucker to play LF.

#Mets fans: Your take on the Nimmo trade? Mine:
1. Can't be judged in isolation -- MANY more moves ahead
2. If it means importing Steven Kwan to play LF, cool
3. If it allows us to sign Cody Bellinger to play LF, or CF, cool
4. If Semien's range and glove helps Pete at 1B, if he returns, I'm down

Whoa. Brandon Nimmo, a true Met, gone. Mets get defense and some pop in Marcus Semien. #Mets
Brandon Nimmo has been traded to the Texas Rangers, per source. A trade that will also send Marcus Semien to the New York Mets.

This is an imperfect example bc Montas was never going to pitch for the Mets again anyway but David Stearns is always willing to cut bait and he should be given credit for that. #Mets
