James Talarico talks about the pro-choice angel and billionaires

We’ve been watching the Texas primary battle between two Democrats: Rep. Jamine Crockett and Texas state Rep. James Talarico. To refresh your memory, Rep. Talarico is the one who quotes the Bible more often than a Sunday preacher. If he were a GOP candidate, they’d call him a religious fanatic.

We remember Jules Verne (1828-1905)

Jules Verne was born on February 8, 1828, in Nantes, France.  He started writing while attending boarding school.   Verne died in 1905.

Most of us read his books in school.  We also saw the movies based on his books:   "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (1954), "The Mysterious Island" (1929 and 1961), "From the Earth to the Moon" (1958), "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1959), and "Around the World in 80 days.

We remember Laura Ingalls Wilder (1860-1957)

Most of us learned of Laura Ingalls Wilder when we got hooked on "Little House on the Prairie".    We fell in love with the cast, from Pa to Ma and the cute girls.

The real Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in Wisconsin on this day in 1860 and died in 1957.  The Ingals lived in Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota.  In 1885, she married Almanzo Wilder and they had one daughter.  

Frankly, I never read the books but the TV shows were fantastic.

The kids should not be marching

 Have you noticed all of the young ones marching against ICE?  I have, and it has all of the look of a manufactured operation.  It’s hard to believe that a bunch of high schoolers suddenly decided to get out of class and march for something.  Forgive me for being skeptical, but these marches smell like someone let the kids out for something other than walking for a little exercise.

The real story here is that these anti-ICE marches are manufactured to create the impression that Minneapolis is the country.

We remember Babe Ruth (1895-1948)

George Herman "Babe" Ruth was born in Baltimore on this day in 1895.  

Ruth came along at a very opportune time for the game and the business of baseball.  Baseball was in deep trouble after the White Sox scandal and fans soured on the game.

The "Black Sox" scandal was a complicated story but the Commissioner had no choice but to ban the players.  The biggest tragedy of the commissioner's decision is that we never got to see "Shoeless" Jackson play a full career in the majors.

Ruth put fans in the seats.  He made baseball fun again and became a legendary American hero.
