To quote a great author: Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.
Trump: “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM.”

This is one of my favorite events of the year! Thanks so much to the NC Travel Industry Association for showcasing the amazing and strange talents of tourism. Most of all it highlights the people who are the heart of our industry. #tourism #visitnc youtu.be/sMfnjqLJxtg

Thanks for the All Star uniform correction @MLB. But the playoff helmet logos are terrible. Why not put sponsor logos all over the uniforms and leave off the team names. #MLB #Playoffs

Like many graduating seniors, members of Newtown High School’s class of 2024 expect bittersweet feelings at their commencement ceremony. But about 60 of them will also be carrying the emotional burden that comes from having survived the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

On a 48-hour surprise trip to Asheville, North Carolina, @DavidBegnaud met Steven Goff, who dropped out of high school to roam the country. Goff has since found purpose in the kitchen, feeding more than 1,000 people through his “Wooden Nickel Program.”

Lots of things have changed since 1978, but one thing remains the same: People still gather by the thousands the third weekend of October to watch woolly worms race at the Woolly Worm Festival in downtown Banner Elk. trib.al/s3wBkVq

Yet the Yankees haven't officially won since 2009.
Carlos Correa on Astros documentary on PBS detailing the cheating scandal: “I tried everything to stop them,” Correa told the Ashociated Press Thursday morning following the Twins' big win. “Every day, I said, guys, let’s cut the crap and play the game the way it’s meant to be played. No analytics. No calculators or graphs. Nobody telling us what’s coming. Just the talent God gave us. They threatened to trade me to the Rockies when Bregman came up, so I went along with it. I protested in my heart and wept during the World Series, knowing it should have been New York beating the Dodgers, who were never a team I considered to have heart.”
