Will the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum Be Trump's Next Target?
In late July, Ichiro, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner will be officially inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. That's because these three ex-MLB players paid their dues and deserve to be recognized as legends. Two months ago, our loudmouth-in-chief was considering pardoning the late Pete Rose and blamed Major League Baseball for banning him for life from baseball, making him ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. I'm not sure how Rose would be pardoned, if it were to happen, but there's a good chance that it would never happen. I've stated in my story about Pete Rose that he should remain banned for life from baseball and Hall of Fame consideration to be null and void. When Pete Rose passed away in September 2024, I didn't share any condolences on any of my social media pages, because I felt it was inappropriate to praise someone who bet on baseball and had no care in the world about how it affected his team, players, and fans. I know it sound callous of me saying this, but betting on baseball is a form of cheating. Cheating in baseball is an unforgiveable act and I'll never acknowledge Pete Rose as a legend. It shows that integrity for the game didn't matter to him.

Don't Mess with A Legend
Major League Baseball and all 30 teams recently celebrated Jackie Robinson Day: a day to remember the legacy and career of Los Angeles Dodgers player Jackie Robinson. All players wore the number 42 and many of them cited the legendary player as a positive influence and of the reasons why they're playing in the league today. Jackie Robinson Day has been recognized league-wide since 2004. Over two decades later, this day is still important and relevant to not only the players themselves, but to baseball fans everywhere.

The Failure of the Algerian Regime
In every functioning nation, the primary role of any government should be to serve its people, protect their dignity, and secure a prosperous future. But in Algeria, this concept has long been turned on its head. The Algerian regime, rather than uplifting its citizens, has for decades perfected the art of enriching itself at the cost of national unity, stability, and sovereignty. The latest political controversies only add more proof to this long and painful reality.

When Refugees Are Abandoned. Content Warning.
In the modern world, we often hear beautiful speeches about human rights, refugee protection, and global solidarity. But for many political refugees, these words are just empty promises. I am writing this not as a complaint, but as the voice of someone who has spent more than a decade trapped in silence and injustice.

The Police Should Go Nuclear!. Content Warning.
NOTE: This article is purely satire. In the news, there is this talk about defunding the police. It would be bad on many counts because criminals can get off Scott Free for their crimes. Should the bureaucrats get their way, the police will be helplessly undermined by severe budget cuts. Now, this would put cities and towns all over America in peril. However, I have to say there is a solution to this defunding of the police.

I am mother of nonverbal autistic son and I am furious with Mr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr and the rest of the moronic Trump administration.
