Team manager Scott Servais announced that Haniger was placed on the 10-day injured list after sustaining a serious injury during Thursday’s game against the Houston Astros.

Little was convicted of killing three Los Angeles-area women and...

As an Irishman, I’m embarrassed at the treatment of the President of the United States on his recent visit to Ireland. His shabby reception in Ireland contrasts sharply with the red carpet treatment in London. Media reports that the Leo Varadkar (the Irish Prime Minister/Taoiseach) refused to meet at the Trump resort at Doonbeg. The hostile media is having a field day with this. Vox reported President Trump will meet the Irish prime minister -- at the airport. Trump reportedly wanted to go to his golf course in Ireland. The Irish government said no. So they’re meeting at the airport...

(Note - I disagree somewhat with his analysis of American electoral politics; Hispanics are *not* going to start voting majority conservative. Why? Because identity politics - racial identity - is a more powerful psychological force for most people than anything else. And nonwhites vote majority left primarily for this reason. Nothing the right wing can do will change this dynamic.) On MARK MY WORDS I discuss how the American Right will win: 1. Abandon FAILED AND INCOMPLETE STRATEGIES: - Classical liberalism, libertarianism, tolerance, civic nationalism, full-franchise democracy 2. Analyze HOW THE CIVIL WAR WILL PLAY OUT...

Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave credit to her fellow Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh on Friday, touting the court's newest member for boosting the number of female law clerks serving the court. Ginsburg, in prepared remarks to a conference for judges in New York, noted that while women have made progress towards equal representation among the court's clerks there are areas where improvements are still needed. "Justice Kavanaugh made history by bringing on board an all-female law clerk crew.
