Herea a big middle
finger to the phony digital sites for fabricating news.

Examples: Athlon announcing trade of closer Jhoan Duran. Athlon sensationalized trade deadline lie that Twins would trade Byron Buxton.

Truth: Buxton hits for cycle today for Twins; Duran leads team in saves.

Stick it!

Humdrum online sites
like Puckett's Pond should quit calling the Twins to trade their closer Jhoan Duran without qualification and attribution. Stop it. Insult to Kirby.

Even the Minnesota media is in slump. One wire service report had Trevor Plouffe striking out to end the game. Plouffe retired after the 2018 season.

Seems Twins pitcher Jhoan Duran has grounds to sue irresponsible digital sites Athon Sports and MSN for erroneous reports that he was traded during the weekend. Erroneous - he closed Minnesota's win over Tigers. Shameful reporting.

Is this a hoax's A Philadelphia Phillies trade pitch lands Minnesota Twins closer Jhoan Durán in a blockbuster deal, reshaping the Phillies bullpen.

This Calico girl, Sedona, loves massage gun. Comes galloping from two rooms away when she hears the first purrs of the gun. Only drinks from a sink measure up.

Trump is spreading his slime to the Baseball Hall of Fame declaring that Pete Rose be enshrined.

As a retired member of
the Baseball Writers and former Hall of Fame voter, I am insulted by Trump trying to bully selectors. They decide when it’s time to enshrine Rose without Trump’s strong arming.

I am sickened (and sick and tired of this bully pulpit) by the U.S. president erroneously saying Ukraine started
its war with Russia and then threatening the Ukraine.

Beware of scams such as this boondoggle supposedly from Costco. Other scams: surveys, freebies, Trump souvenirs. Example:

Avoid bogus surveys and giveaways from the likes of Xfinity and CVS. Click on From line and see it is personal address of the bandidos.

What an embarrassment: Star Tribune sports desk played Gopher basktball men's team huge upset of Oregon on Page 3C behind the advance article of the women's team on 2C and the eliminated Vikings in 1C.

Lawless 47th President pardons 1600 Jan. 6 rioters caused $2 billion damage to the Capitol. What farce.
