Taking down historical symbols: https://t.co/5rGkaPeez2 via @YouTube— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) April 3, 2018
No other city has taken down a monument to a president for his misdeeds.But Arcata is poised to do just that.The target is an 8½-foot bronze likeness of William McKinley, who was president at the turn of the last century and stands accused of directing the slaughter of Native peoples in the U.S. and abroad.“Put a rope around its neck and pull it down,” Chris Peters shouted at a recent rally held at the statue, which has adorned the central square for more than a century.
"After three years of carping, harping, caterwauling, criticizing, not to mention spinning ever more outrageous and fantastical conspiracy theories about the war, it is time for the Democrats to stand up and do what they say they’ve been sent to Washington to do; get us out of Iraq.
Now is the time we find out whether the Democrats are a bunch of gutless cowards whose political calculations about “supporting the troops but not the mission” has any meaning beyond the sound bite culture of Washington and political campaigns.
Now is the time we discover whether Democrats have the courage of their convictions and truly believe that the war is a lost cause, necessitating the immediate withdrawal of our forces."
On Monday, the White House held its 140th annual Easter Egg Roll. The event, hosted by Melania Trump, featured children adorably pushing eggs along the White House lawn.Really Kimmel? Is that the best that your comedy writers can do?
In a bizarre response, late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel launched an attack on Melania Trump over the event.
First he derided Melania as being uninvolved in the set-up of the event. “Not a chance she did one thing to help set that up. There's no -- she didn't dye eggs, she didn't fill baskets.”
Did Michelle Obama dye eggs or fill baskets? Where was Kimmel to question her efforts during the eight years of the Obama administration?
Next, Kimmel mocked Melania Trump’s accent. This type of anti-immigrant attack is only OK for leftists to make on people like Melania.
Put Bartolo at second: Five games and the Rangers look awful. In fact, Bartolo Colon's 6 innings is the highlight of the young season. Maybe Bartolo can play second or LF or RF! Seriously, it's bad for the home team after 5 games. Thank God there are 157 games left!— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) April 3, 2018
"Richard Anthony "Dick" (aka "Richie") Allen played for just 10 full seasons yet led his league in home runs twice, RBIs once, on-base average twice, and slugging three times. He was also named the 1964 National League Rookie of the Year and the 1972 American League MVP. As his record stands, a great many baseball historians would argue Allen was the best hitter in baseball between 1964 and 1974."What a coincidence. Oliva and Allen were the AL and NL Rookie of the Year in '64. Allen and Oliva played in the late 60's when pitchers dominated baseball.
