Money quote: "Conspiracy-minded podcasters like Tucker Carlson and Hasan Piker already have mindless tribalism covered; we don’t need academics patrolling the same turf." Having been part of the "CIC" for a long time, I welcome the authors to come see how unglamorous it is here.

"Hillsdale is now 4-1 overall, 2-1 in the G-MAC, and off to the team's best start since the Chargers' G-MAC-title winning year in 2018." Nice. #ChargeOn

Kevin McGonigle is one of just TWO rookies in MLB history to record a season with: 🔸️ 95+ runs 🔸️ 26+ doubles 🔸️ 17+ home runs 🔸️ 70+ RBI 🔸️ 94+ walks The other? Ted Williams in 1939.

Well - this isn't what I envisioned when Verlander's return was announced during the offseason. But I'm glad JV gets a Detroit swansong to his Hall of Fame career.

British occupation forces in New York City hang convicted spy Nathan Hale. He behaves with great composure, and on the gallows he declares: “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”

Look, I'm far from thrilled with letting the GOP keep the keys to federal power. But for this Michigan voter, choosing @MikeRogersForMI over El-Sayed is a no-brainer.

Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer’s dad narrates a new ad attacking Abdul El-Sayed for campaigning with Hasan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11 and was worse than Al-Qaeda. Watch this.

Those of us who remember 9/11 were craving not just unity, but leadership and purpose. I’m not exaggerating when I say our entire world had been turned upside down. This moment was perfect. It was presidential.

🇺🇸 September 14, 2001. Ground Zero. President Bush climbed onto a wrecked fire truck with a retired FDNY man named Bob Beckwith and a bullhorn. A worker in the pile yelled that he could not hear him. Bush: “I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” Video from National Archives

WATCH: On the 25th anniversary of 911, GLCF has a special minute long TV ad airing in Detroit. The same hatred that caused 911 still exists today. Abdul raises money from it, campaigns with it, and justifies it.
