NEW YORK -- As Yankees pitcher Sonny Gray was having yet another terrible outing Wednesday afternoon at Yankee Stadium and then laughing about it as he was pulled in the third inning with his club down six runs, an ugly part of his past was discovered on his @sonnygray2 Twitter account. One of his tweets from 2012 paints the right-hander as a racist. Judge for yourself:

By Alan J. Steinberg As a "Never Trump" author and governmental veteran, I feel that the most concise and accurate summary of the nightmare of Trumpism was given recently by the renowned conservative historian Max Boot in the Washington Post: "The current GOP still has a few resemblances to the party of old -- it still cuts taxes and supports conservative judges. But a vote for the GOP in November is also a vote for egregious obstruction of justice, rampant conflicts of interest, the demonization of minorities, the debasement of political discourse, the alienation of America's allies, the end of...

President Donald Trump's interaction with Russian President Vladimir Putin was a "disaster," "detrimental to the country" and the strongest evidence yet that "the president (should) step down." Those are the words of former New Jersey Gov. Christie Whitman, a Republican, who penned a blistering op-ed in the Los Angeles Times this weekend calling on fellow GOPers to put country over party and dump Trump. "In this election year, opposing Trump is risky for GOP candidates," Whitman wrote. "Invoking the need to choose country over party is an overused trope. But it is essential now."

It’s that time of year again: barbecues are getting fired up, fireworks illuminate the night sky, and a couple thousand people in animal costumes are about to descend on Pittsburgh. Anthrocon, the annual gathering of the “Furry” community, is returning to Steel City.

Parkland student survivor Cameron Kasky appeared on CNN this morning to respond to President Trump‘s big speech to the NRA. The speech touched on a lot of topics––including Russia and John Kerry‘s bicycle injury––but it was a very pro-NRA speech. It was somewhat of a shift from comments the President made in that bipartisan meeting with lawmakers weeks ago talking about things like taking guns away from people and dealing with due process later. In response to this, Kasky said today, “He’s a professional liar who will say anything to appease whatever crowd he’s at. If he’s in front of...

Lookee, lookee, The famed, long term small bookstore, Kramerbooks, located in the Dupont Circle District of Washington, DC, opened its doors for business at 12:01 AM, Tuesday morning expecting an onslaught of excited customers with money in hand to get the "hot sell", James Comey book. Opps.....no one showed...not one customer. Nothing more needs to be said!!!

Bernie Sanders offers a real solution that the current condidates wont have. Bernie Sanders would first of all return tax levels to the way they were in the 1950s, tax the rich 90% and use the massive massive massive surplus from that tax to create jobs for the unemployed. One trillion should be paid for rebuilding infrastructure and bridges and creating jobs. Another trillion will be used to create new healthcare opertunety for workers to earn doctors degrees and to heal the sick and poor. Bernie sanders will also create government funded industries and factories that will create paying jobs...

I am looking for work at home opportunities. I've tried paid surveys, but I find that I can make very little money doing that. However, I have heard that one can be paid to post positive comments about President Bush on certain Internet boards. Does anyone have any information on how I can sign up for that?

<p>You people are jerks. Not likeable jerks either, but the kind folks would like to smack in the back of the head with a shovel. Think Judge Snells from Caddyshack or Neidermier from Animal House.</p> <p>I know this probably comes as a shock to you, but if you do some serious soul searching, you'll realize that I am right.</p>

<p>WE had peace and prosperity with the last legitimately elected President. Now with the selected one, we have war, recession, high gas prices, and hurricanes. Your hero worship of Chimpy McJimBeam is beyond moronic.</p> <p>Bye Bye. Consider yourself banned.</p>

I am an independent and have become uneasy about what is happening in Iraq. The constitutional crises now going on is pitting the various factions against each other. What bothers me the most, however, is the fact that Iraq is on it's way to becoming a country ruled by islamofacists. I realize this was not our goal, but the reality is our policy there has created a situation that does exactly the opposite of what we wanted. How does this benefit the US?

NOVAK: Isn’t that the decline of values in language that is… that is poisoning America?

NEW YORK--And it came to pass that Republican Jesus met with His advisers, strategists and corporate cronies. He took them and withdrew apart to a deserted city called Bethesda. But the multitudes followed Him nonetheless. So Republican Jesus asked His cronies to build Him a great stadium where He could welcome members of the multitudes able to pay Him an admission fee and purchase vast quantities of licensed merchandise at exorbitant prices. He welcomed these people and sent off those who needed medical attention to a land called Canada. The light of the day began to wane, so His toadies...

Y'all wanna zot? You vile, hideous miscreants are nothing more than lock-step army ants without a cause. With few exceptions (and most of them get banned/zotted like myself), you will willingly march our soldiers pointless missions and return with their benefits cut to fund illegals with free drivers licenses in Florida, and you will cut welfare for your neighbor to give it to Iraq. You same people 30 years later will twist in pretzels just to stick the next tabloid conspiracy on the Clintons too. What do you think you will accomplish with your hateful agenda? Personally, I hope you...

Former Treasury Sec. Paints Bush as 'Blind Man' By REUTERS Filed at 10:40 a.m. ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill likened President Bush at Cabinet meetings to ``a blind man in a room full of deaf people,'' according to excerpts on Friday from a CBS interview. ``As I recall it was just a monologue,'' he told CBS' ``60 Minutes,'' which will broadcast the entire interview on Sunday. In making the blind man analogy, O'Neill told CBS his ex-boss did not encourage a free flow of ideas or open debate. ``There is no discernible connection,'' CBS quoted...
