Good Riddance Manny 2.0
The end of the season for the Los Angeles Dodgers means the end of Manny Machado’s career as a Dodger . . . What an incredibly dirty player, and a punk with a bad attitude, unworthy of the Dodgers uniform . . . Someone will overpay him in the offseason, fortunately it won’t be the Dodgers . . . Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The Dodgers Need a New Manager
Dave Roberts needs to be replaced as the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers . . . He has proven completely inept in managing big game decisions, with bullpen management being his biggest failing . . . Roberts, by all accounts is a really nice guy, but that does not a good baseball manager make . . . The numerous bad decisions Roberts made in the 2017 World Series could have been overlooked if he did not make the exact same mistakes in 2018 . . . Time to move on.
After Words: Arthur Brooks Interviews Ben Sasse
Two of my favorite people joined together to put together an amazing discussion for an hour. Spend an hour watching Arthur Brooks of American Enterprise Institute (AEI) interview Senator Ben Sasse about his new book, Them. This is NOT a political discussion. So grab a beverage, relax, and enjoy this presentation.

Beto Signs Are Useful After All
If anyone from the approaching caravan from Honduras seeking illegal entry into the United States happens to see this post, if you get into Texas, look for these signs. It's a symbol of safe harbor.
Spanish Translation:
Si alguien de la caravana que se aproxima desde Honduras que busca ingresar ilegalmente a los Estados Unidos ve esta publicación, si ingresa a Texas, busque estas señales. Es un símbolo de puerto seguro.

Senator Ben Sasse Rightly Takes On Sean Hannity
Hannity of course will never accept this challenge, but good for Senator Sasse for not just letting Hannity go unchecked.
If you write a book about the outrage merchants that are dividing America and you fail to mention Sean Hannity because he’s in your party, you aren’t being honest.#Them https://t.co/F9QJIoUtvW https://t.co/QxD7YEOavE— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) October 17, 2018

I invite you to come out from behind the safety of your cable news desk and join me at a neutral forum to debate the role of the media—Left and Right—in dividing us.
Honest conversation isn’t where the quick-hit $ and ratings are — but it’d be good for America. https://t.co/ho8IMTZ80j

Kirk Gibson's Homerun Is 30 Today
My grandfather had passed away exactly a week before this game. We still had family in town after the funeral and all. I can still remember sitting by myself on the couch, all the way to the right side. The adults were talking and whatnot over at the dining room table. Kirk Gibson came to the plate and I thought, "no way." I was stunned into silence as the ball cleared the right field fence. A truly remarkable moment.
It happened 30 years ago tonight, almost to the hour that I'm posting this.
Earlier today, AM570 in Los Angeles had Kirk Gibson on the radio talking with Steve Sax (who hopefully you recall was also on that 1988 team. You can listen to that interview here.

Goosebumps.

Honestly, if Kavanaugh could drink as much as the Dems claim he did and stilll graduate high school and college at the top of his class — that’s the guy I want on the Supreme Court!— Ryan Fournier (@RyanAFournier) October 4, 2018

Senator Collins Announces She Will Vote to Confirm Judge Kavanaugh
The speech by Senator Collins was amazing and should be read by every student of life, law, civics, economics, and political science.
Susan Collins Consents
The Maine Republican restores reason to the Kavanaugh confirmation.
