Racist, homophobic and misogynistic tweets that Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader sent in 2011 and 2012 surfaced as he pitched in Tuesday night’s All-Star Game at Nationals Park, turning his appearance into an embarrassing stain for Hader and a public-relations nightmare for Major League Baseball. After Hader surrendered a three-run homer in the eighth inning, several Twitter users — starting, it seems, with an account named MLB Insider Dinger — found and retweeted messages Hader sent as a 17-year-old. The tweets included numerous uses of the n-word and an allusion to “white power” next to an emoji of a closed...

"Save my heroes from suicide." Prince Harry has raised serious concerns about the number of British soldiers committing suicide after returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The Prince confided his fears about a recent surge in suspected suicides in a private letter to a decorated former war hero. His intervention comes as an investigation by The Mail on Sunday reveals veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are now taking their own lives at a faster rate than their comrades died on the battlefield.

I don't care for Trump and certainly would have trouble voting for him, but you would not catch me saying the sort of things about him or his supporters that we usually reserve for those trying to rend the country in two and destroy what is left of our liberties.

Hello. Hey, did anyone catch Britt Hume’s panel addressing the Trent Lott foul up regarding Senator Thurmond? In case you didn’t catch it, Lott made an offhand remark at Thurmond’s 100th birthday party that "We wouldn’t have the problems we have now if Strom Thurmond would have been elected President in 1948." Now, unfortunately Thurmond was on the Dixiecrat ticket in ’48, and they were known for supporting segregation. It was a mistake I am sure, a slip up. I am sure he wasn’t advocating segregation as the solution to anything but of course Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton immediately...
