"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

If you knew Kamala (like I know Kamala!)
If you knew Kamala (like I know Kamala!) - American Thinker https://t.co/B9ALfbw1o6

Some Democrats, especially Congressman Colin Allred running against Senator Cruz in Texas, are staying far away from VP Harris. It’s like they are singing that old tune about a girl named Susie: “If you knew Susie like I know Susie…”
Well, let’s look around because a lot of Democrats must know something about Kamala and they don’t like it. Let’s check it out:
Democrats running for the Senate in ‘blue wall’ states that will be critical to determining the outcome of the 2024 election are running away from Vice President Kamala Harris, signaling that they are hoping to win over some of former President Trump’s voters to keep their seats.
And Democratic candidates in those states have been careful about criticizing Trump during the high-stakes debates. They have focused on policy and their own records without taking many — or any — shots against the Republican nominee.
Talking about their records without taking shots at the former president? Isn’t that interesting?
Frankly, it shouldn’t be in a place like Pennsylvania or Wisconsin where fracking and free trade are issues. Of course, illegal immigration is an issue everywhere and no one is praising the Biden-Harris record on that subject.
To paraphrase the old Broadway tune, these Democrats want to tell you that if you knew Kamala like they know Kamala, Oh! Oh! what a liberal president she’d be.

Remembering Ellie Greenwich (1940-2009)
Along with her husband Jeff Barry, they wrote a bunch of pop songs in the 1960's, such as "Be my baby" and "Chapel of love". Ellen Greenwich was a big part of the "girl groups" era of pop-rock music. Her songs were generally about girls singing of love and that man of their dreams! (Again, great songs that still sound great!)

We remember Jim Bunning (1931-2017)
We remember US Senator and Hall of Famer Jim Bunning. He was born on this day in 1931 and died in 2017.
Bunning broke with the Detroit Tigers in 1955. He won 118 games over 9 seasons in Detroit. He moved to Philadelphia in 1964 and won 89 games. Overall, Bunning won 224, or 118 in the AL and 106 in the NL.
His best season was 20-8 & 2.69 ERA in 1957. He did not pitch for a lot of winning teams and or miss a start in 11 years.
Bunning was perfect on June 21, 1964, also Father's Day, in a 6-0 victory against the New York Mets. In 1958, he threw a no-hitter for Detroit on July 20, 1958, against Boston, winning 3-0.
In 1996, Bunning was inducted into The Hall of Fame. He was also elected to the US Senate from Kentucky.

October 2010: The Rangers won the AL pennant!
Who could have written a better script?
The Rangers beat NY, the same team that swept them 3 times in the late 1990's!
Feliz, the young closer, struck out A-Rod to finish the game and put the Rangers in the World Series.
Great memories!
