The greatest moment in the history of sportsmanship

      Comments Off on The greatest moment in the history of sportsmanship

Every once in a while, we need to be reminded that there is good in the world.  Sometimes we can lose sight of that with all the evil manifesting itself among our political elites.  This happened in the Southwest Regional championship in the Little League World Series Tournament.

It happened in the very first inning of the Southwest Region championship. Two boys who when they woke up this morning only cared about one thing… get to Williamsport. Suddenly everything changed, because in real life things happen just like that … things change in a heartbeat. ...

Freedom is a valuable and precious gift worth fighting for.  As Sundance notes:

We Americans come from solid stock.  We carry in our DNA a fortitude of individual identity that is not dependent on government for affirmation or permission.  We are the beneficiaries of those who believed in stubborn independence.

The images coming out of NYC on Friday were simply incredible.

I lived in the NYC metro area for many years.  There have been many deaths of police officers in the NYPD over the years.
