Oakland Athletics at Arizona Diamondbacks - April 13, 2021.
-------------------------------------
Diamondbacks outfielder Tim Locastro began his career with 29 consecutive stolen base attempts without having been caught, which still stands as an MLB record. In this game, he recorded career SB number 29.

Sen. Nicole Mitchell, a Democratic-Farmer-Labor lawmaker, was arrested early Monday morning after police found her inside the home, according to charging documents filed Tuesday in Becker County District Court.
Charges say the senator told arresting officers her father had recently died and her stepmother had stopped communicating with family members, and that she wanted her late father’s ashes, and belongings including pictures, a flannel shirt, and other items of sentimental value.
Public records and an obituary posted by a Detroit Lakes funeral home show that Mitchell’s father, who died last month, and stepmother lived on the same block of the same road in Detroit Lakes as where the senator was arrested.
When first hearing of the details of this burglary, it sounded disturbingly similar to someone who was having a mental health episode. Please understand I don't say that to be flip. It's just that too many high profile individuals have had their inner demons play out in the public and it hasn't ended particularly well.
However, the list of charges indicate that this incident was very much premeditated.
At around 4:45 a.m. Monday, Detroit Lakes police responded to a 911 call from a woman reporting a burglary of her home in the 700 block of Granger Road in Detroit Lakes. When officers arrived, they searched the house and found a person inside.
Officers then arrested Mitchell, 49, who while being detained told the stepmother “something to the effect of” she was “just trying to get a couple of my dad’s things because you wouldn’t talk to me anymore.”
The senator was dressed in all-black clothing and was wearing a black hat. Officers also discovered a flashlight in a sock covering which court documents said appeared to be a modification to reduce the amount of light that it would emit.
Mitchell told police she had made the roughly 200-mile drive from Woodbury to Detroit Lakes starting at around 1 a.m. early Sunday morning, court documents said. She admitted to entering her stepmother’s home through a basement window where she had left a backpack containing her drivers’ license, two laptop computers and a cell phone.
Given Sen. Mitchell's position, there are obvious political ramifications to this.
DFLers have 34 seats in the Senate, compared with the 33 held by Republicans. If Mitchell can’t return to the Capitol, Democrats may have trouble passing partisan legislation between now and the end of session later next month.
Considering the untold damage the Dem trifecta caused with their "buffet of lunacy" last year as well as additional draconian proposals being floated this session, it would be a dereliction of duty if the Senate Republicans even entertain working with DFLers on anything as long as Ms. Mitchell remains absent. It is literally the only leverage they have in the remaining few weeks of the legislative session. I say they use it.
UPDATE: Via her Facebook page, Sen. Mitchell releases a statement which seems to contradict what she told police.
---------------------------------------------------
About three months before he was elected President (and on the third anniversary of the Charlotteville, VA white supremacist rally), Joe Biden conveyed the following:
Three years ago today, the world watched in horror as neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and far-right extremists with torches in hand descended on Charlottesville, Virginia, spewing the same anti-Semitic bile that was heard in Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s. It was a moment of testing for our country, and a wake-up call to the fact that hate never dies — it only hides. And when our leaders give it oxygen, it can come roaring back to life.
What happened next is seared in all our memories — a violent clash between the white nationalists and those who came together to stand against hate. Tragically, a brave young woman lost her life.
And then our president claimed that there were “very fine people on both sides.” Donald Trump had the audacity to assign moral equivalence between those spreading hate and those who stood against it.
I knew then that we were in a battle for the soul of this nation. And I knew then that I could not stand by and let Donald Trump destroy the core values of this nation. Now, three years later, we can see even more clearly that everything that has made America, America, is at stake.
Despite our imperfections as a nation, the American people have never given up or walked away from the founding ideals of our nation: that everyone is entitled to be treated equally and with dignity and respect. That is who we are. And together, we are far more powerful than the hatred we saw on that dark day three years ago, and in so many acts of hatred and violence since.
Perhaps the person who occupies the Oval Office today needs to read this statement in the light of there having been daily Charlottesville-like events over the past half year.
As despicable as the 2017 Charlottesville white supremacist rally was, peoples' ability to perform normal everyday tasks (i.e. student and faculty at Columbia University attending class) were not in danger.

Kinda of the same vibe as "fine people on both sides," no?
Conservative commentator Erick Erickson throws down a challenge to Biden.
You know as well as I that Biden absolutely will not do this simply because it would cost him a key swing state like Michigan where the heavily Muslim city of Dearborn is threatening to sit it out this November.
As Seth Mandel at Commentary points out, the white supremacists and the Jew-hating progs are basically two sides of the same coin.
“Jews will not replace us” was the favored chant in Charlottesville. At the progressive campus rallies and beyond, “From the river to the sea, Palestine is Arab” has made quite the comeback. In the past, the second half of that line was often “Palestine will be free,” a slightly more politically savvy version of the slogan that calls for the murder and enslavement of all Jews in the land of Israel. “Palestine is Arab” is even more openly violent than “Jews will not replace us,” a white nationalist chant that seeks to hide its bloodlust behind anti-immigration euphemisms. (It does not hide it well; a man radicalized by these theories massacred Jews at a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018.)
“From the river to the sea, Palestine is Arab” establishes as its baseline a Nazi-like racial hierarchy. What that means is that regardless of political or governmental structures and constitutions, that racial hierarchy is baked into society: Jews would be treated this way even if they no longer had a state, just as they were treated this way in the 20th century before Israeli sovereignty was established. Put simply, ethnic cleansing of the Jews would be the goal in a one-state solution as well.
Because this racial hierarchy is fundamental to its proponents’ worldview, opposition to coexistence with Jews is global. The skinheads in Charlottesville weren’t deterred from their version of this ideology just because they live outside of Germany. Similarly, those who chant “Palestine is Arab” subscribe to this racial hierarchy wherever they are. That this chant was delivered outside the White House, for example, is not a protest of Israeli policy but rather a challenge to the foundational ideas and values of the United States.
Although the expression of this worldview isn’t limited to college campuses, those campuses are the main reason we are now witnessing three Charlottesvilles a day. After all, it means students are paying attention in class.
Yup. These profs are literally telling us who they are at this point (WARNING: an f-bomb or two):

Yes, the White House fact checkers who went all Claude Rains as of January 20, 2021 are suddenly awakened from their slumber.
Check out this headline from Daniel Dale's CNN piece on Friday.
Fact check: Biden makes false and misleading claims during Pennsylvania campaign swing.
The fact is Biden has been a serial fabulist at least since his first run for President back in the 1980s. However, the media was essentially willing to turn a blind a eye four years ago because Trump's ouster was of paramount importance. But now that Trump is once again a threat given Biden's dismal job approval numbers, the perpetual tall tales from the White House's walking cadaver are suddenly problematic.
Good thing for Dems that the media has long stopped caring that they're coming off as whorish.
------------------------------------------------
When longtime National Public Radio employee Uri Berliner came out with a piece detailing its insufferable left wing bias, the essay was more a confirmation than a revelation. But it was a noteworthy post nonetheless given it was penned by someone on the inside who admittedly "fit the NPR mode."
While I've always believed it's possible for employees of a news organization to simultaneously have deeply held beliefs and report with impartiality on events which may undermine said beliefs, the election of Donald J. Trump as President shattered that ability in many. Berliner cited the Trump years as the point of no return for NPR.
As in many newsrooms, his election in 2016 was greeted at NPR with a mixture of disbelief, anger, and despair. (Just to note, I eagerly voted against Trump twice but felt we were obliged to cover him fairly.) But what began as tough, straightforward coverage of a belligerent, truth-impaired president veered toward efforts to damage or topple Trump’s presidency.
Persistent rumors that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia over the election became the catnip that drove reporting. At NPR, we hitched our wagon to Trump’s most visible antagonist, Representative Adam Schiff.
Schiff, who was the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, became NPR’s guiding hand, its ever-present muse. By my count, NPR hosts interviewed Schiff 25 times about Trump and Russia. During many of those conversations, Schiff alluded to purported evidence of collusion. The Schiff talking points became the drumbeat of NPR news reports.
But when the Mueller report found no credible evidence of collusion, NPR’s coverage was notably sparse. Russiagate quietly faded from our programming.
Shortly after his piece was published, Berliner was suspended by NPR. I'm going to guess the excerpt where he suggested his org had an obligation to cover Trump fairly is what likely caused execs to react in a way which bore resemblance to the Linda Blair character's head-spinning projectile vomiting in the film The Exorcist.
In the days following Berliner's suspension, he was maligned by management and employees to the point where he realized there was no coming back. As such, he tendered his resignation on Wednesday.

In the event you're curious about the worldview of NPR CEO Katherine Maher, here are a couple of her greatest hits.
EXCLUSIVE: Katherine Maher says the "the number one challenge" in her fight against disinformation is "the First Amendment in the United States," which makes it "a little bit tricky" to censor "bad information" and "the influence peddlers" who spread it.

I'm really having a tough time imagining a sane world where the top exec of a major news organization (one which is funded by the American taxpayers to boot) insinuates that truth and the First Amendment are barriers to their agenda.
As Jim Geraghty of National Review points out, NPR will likely ride out the storm and then just go about business as usual.
There’s something a bit refreshing, if depressing, about the way NPR responded to 25-year veteran Uri Berliner’s comprehensive indictment of his employer, published in The Free Press: NPR management denied all of his accusations and suspended him for a week, and then he resigned. “I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by the new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cite in my Free Press essay,” he said.
Chris Rufo has gone through the Twitter feed of NPR CEO Katherine Maher and found her to be a platonic ideal of left-wing, “woke,” progressive orthodoxy, sprinkled with corporate buzzwords.
This time at NPR, there is no rubbing of the chin, furrowed brows, or begrudging concession that the critic has a point, and that they must do better. Nope, NPR’s management thinks they’re doing a terrific job, and they don’t see any reason to change. In their minds, the true villain of this story is Berliner, for criticizing his employer in another publication. (Admittedly, very few employers are big fans of that move.)
I mean, if decrepit nonagenarian hack Dan Rather can have his career rehabbed, NPR surely can find a way to clear this hurdle. You know they'll have plenty of accomplices/allies in the agenda-driven media circuit.
--------------------------------------------
Erick Erickson, who began his career as an elections lawyer, gives the best explainer of the case Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg is bringing against Donald Trump.
Trump is, essentially, charged with documentation fraud — claiming payment for a past debt was a legal fee.
However, the statute of limitations is well past the time to charge Trump with that.
So, the New York District Attorney has decided to elevate the issue to a felony and get it within the statute of limitations.
To do this, Alvin Bragg has to accuse Trump of engaging in documentation fraud to hide an underlying crime. The underlying crime is a federal campaign finance violation. That violation is Trump paying off the porn star through his lawyer and failing to disclose it on his campaign finance forms because it was a campaign-related expense.
It was a campaign expense because if Trump had not paid off Stormy Daniels, she could have gone public and cost Trump the election. Yes, the left argues that the man who, on video, said he could grab women by their you-know-what would have been undone by this revelation.
The rule for a campaign expense is this: Would the transaction have still happened even if the candidate were not running for office? Trump’s wife had a prenuptial agreement. Trump would have had to pay her millions for adultery. So, even if Trump were not running for office, it is still very likely he would have had to pay Stormy Daniels.
Therefore, this was not a campaign finance violation. Therefore, there is no underlying felony. Therefore, there is no New York felony. Therefore, the case falls apart.
But, even if it were a campaign finance violation, federal law states that only the federal government can prosecute campaign finance violations. Neither the Federal Elections Commission nor the Department of Justice have chosen to prosecute or charge Trump, so Trump has not been found guilty of a federal campaign finance violation.
To repeat myself: therefore, this was not a campaign finance violation. Therefore, there is no underlying felony. Therefore, there is no New York felony. Therefore, the case falls apart.

Huh. Whoever could've seen this coming?!?!?!
Minneapolis will delay the start date of a new policy that sets the pay for drivers of Uber, Lyft and other rideshare services.
The Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously Thursday to push the ordinance's effective date back two months, from May 1 to July 1. Council members praised the move, saying it would allow more time for new rideshare companies to start up and potentially fill gaps left by Uber and Lyft, which have pledged to leave Minneapolis once the ordinance takes effect.
"I am confident that this small delay in implementation will lead to better outcomes for drivers and riders statewide and also lay a stronger foundation for a Minnesota rideshare industry that is more equitable instead of extremely exploitive, which it is now," said Council Member Robin Wonsley, who co-sponsored the original rideshare pay plan.
Translation - "We thought Uber and Lyft were bluffing when they said they'd leave the area, so we're just winging it at this point."
This saga perfectly encapsulates government hubris. The vast majority of these people have never run (nor worked for) a private sector business, so they have no concept of basic economics. Nevertheless they press forward with awful policies that will make goods & services far more expensive (assuming they even continue to exist) and less convenient for the citizens they purport to faithfully represent.....all the while criticizing businesses who pass on the higher costs to consumers. But in literally a matter of hours after the Minneapolis City Council overrode Mayor Jacob Frey's veto of their ordinance, both Uber and Lyft indicated their plan to leave the Minneapolis market effective May 1.
As Minnesota State Sen. Zach Duckworth (R-Lakeville) pointed out, the economics of this decision won't be the only area to suffer.
In the absence of decisive leadership, with no solution in sight, it’s incumbent upon the Legislature to step up & govern responsibly on behalf of Minnesotans. Our neighbors with disabilities & the elderly depend upon the service provided by Uber & Lyft as does our local economy. pic.twitter.com/BKGYRiusoB
— 🇺🇸Zach Duckworth🇺🇸 (@ZachDuckworth) April 12, 2024
So what now? I find it hard to believe the prog infested Minneapolis City Council will do the right thing and reverse course. And I am also very skeptical that an adequate rideshare system can be developed in that time frame, to say nothing of one which can measure up to Uber or Lyft.
Once again, Dennis Prager is proven correct: Whatever the left touches, it destroys.

Didn't see this one coming.
O.J. Simpson, the decorated football superstar and Hollywood actor who was acquitted of charges he killed his former wife and her friend but later was found liable in a separate civil trial, has died. He was 76.
The family announced on Simpson's official X account that Simpson died Wednesday after battling prostate cancer. He died in Las Vegas, officials there said Thursday.
"On April 10th, our father, Orenthal Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace," the family posted on Simpson's X account.
Until the summer of 1994, Simpson was known as a hall of fame running back, movie actor and prolific pitchman. But as of June 1994, Simpson was seen by many as a celeb who murdered his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. Even though Simpson was acquitted in October 1995, I would venture to say the majority of people familiar with the case still believe he had gotten away with double murder.
It was 30 years ago this summer when Simpson was charged with double murder and thus was going to be placed under arrest. However, when arresting officers did not find him at his home, it was soon thereafter he was declared a "fugitive of justice." And thus the "White Bronco chase" saga was born.

While he denied any health problems in that video, two days later he posted a Super Bowl Sunday tweet where he acknowledged via video he was "dealing with some issues" but insisted that he'd be back to normal in no time.
That would be his last post.
I really don't have much to say about O.J. himself, except to express sincere hope that he repented and accepted Christ as his savior.

“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state,” Trump said in the video.
“Many states will be different. Many states will have a different number of weeks…at the end of the day it is all about the will of the people.”
I'm as staunch a pro life person as there is, so I believe there is not only a moral obligation to protect life but also a legal one. And while a fetus that is, say, six weeks along would obviously not be viable outside the womb, I believe their personhood is established and thus should be protected from an intentional homicide. Sure, my position is considered "outside the mainstream," but legislation allowing abortion until moments before birth is as well. Heck, I could argue "late term abortion" is far more inhumane than advocating that an unplanned pregnancy be carried until birth.
Of course, Trump is making the politically expedient move here. While he's previously indicated that he believes abortion should be allowed up until 15 weeks, he didn't advocate for such legislation to be passed were he to win the presidency. Ever since Roe v. Wade was overturned nearly 2 years ago, progs have desired to codify Roe into federal law. But as Charles C.W. Cooke argued back in March 2022, such a move would be flatly unconstitutional.
Like the Supreme Court, Congress simply does not have the power to decide this question for the states. That is not what Congress is for, or has ever been for. There is no generalized police power vested in the federal government, and it is not permitted to exercise one simple because Americans feel strongly about the question from both sides. There exist a handful circumstances in which the federal government may regulate the killing of human brings — if a murder victim is a federal judge, federal official, federal law enforcement officer, or is killed at sea or on federal property, for example — but, outside of those narrow confines, there are no national laws prohibiting (or mandating) homicide, because there is no federal power to prohibit (or mandate) homicide.
As I've said many times on this blog as well as on my radio show is we could have the most radical pro abortion laws possibly conjured up (and in Minnesota, we pretty much do), but the battle for hearts and minds on the issue can never cease. Yes, I get there are going to be obstacles given the fact terminating an unwanted pregnancy has been given the Orwellian relabel of "women's healthcare." As such, love and compassion is essential when broaching the issue.
In the end, having the issue remain unresolved may more valuable to the left. They believed they effectively used the abortion issue to stave off bigger GOP gains in the 2022 midterms, so they are hoping to use it as a wedge yet again in this year's presidential cycle. But in a rare instance of borderline political savvy, Trump didn't give them a lifeline.

Welcome to April! I'll be back in the Patriot bunker for today's edition of my radio show The Closer. The 2-hour blitz gets started at 1:00 PM Central Time.
In the first hour, I'll discuss how President Joe Biden has sold out Israel so as to attempt to lock in his far left kook base. On the local level, the DFL trifecta in St. Paul continues to bring forth absolutely insane policy proposals.
At 2:15, I.T. guru Greg Scott will join the broadcast to discuss revelations of Facebook spying on the competition. He'll also share tips on how to prevent high profile hackings which companies like Sony have been subjected to.
If I've learned anything from the past two years with Minnesota Dems controlling all of state government is that I can retire the phrase "There's no way they can come up with any more outlandish ideas."
The most recent galaxy brain suggestion is.....a full-time Legislature?!?!?!
I mean, they blew through a historic budget surplus (and then some) in the five-month long legislative session last year. Can you imagine what they could do while being in session year round????
Rep. Jim Nash (R-Waconia) had some thoughts, and they're not at all appealing.
I'm not being the least bit hyperbolic when I say that if indeed such a thing comes to fruition, a "For Sale" sign will be pounded into my front yard that very day.

To be honest, I'm not able to muster anything more than an eyeroll.
All that said, I would be curious if, say, a retired pro hockey player like a Brett Hull expressed surprise that a black dude on an NHL team overwhelmed the opposing club with his stellar play. I'm gonna guess it wouldn't quite be met with the same wave off.
- Speaking of NCAA Women's hoops, their Final Four will take place this weekend in Cleveland. The last time this event occurred in The Land was 2007, about which Cleveland's WEWS-TV news reporter John Kosich reminisced via Instagram.
The caption from that post:
Pulling up a story from the last time the Women’s NCAA Final Four was in Cleveland 17 years ago I came across this clip talking with Rutgers Head Coach C. Vivian Stringer. Totally forgetting that a few days after this interview, Don Imus would make a racist comment about her team that would lead to his firing by MSNBC. It left the network, which simulcast his radio show, with a 3-hour hole in their programming which they eventually filled by creating a new show, Morning Joe.
That fact Morning Joe sprung from that debacle means that Imus's undeniably despicable comments weren't the only regrettable incident from 17 years ago.
- This November there's a nonzero chance that Donald Trump could be elected President and the U.S. Senate could flip to the GOP. With that in mind, progs are feeling a slight sense of deja vu.
Democratic senators are not joining calls on the left for liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire. But for the first time, they’re publicly expressing an unease that history could repeat itself after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s refusal to step down in 2014 ended in the Supreme Court lurching sharply to the right.
Ginsburg, then 81 and a cancer survivor, could have retired and been replaced by a Democratic appointee when President Barack Obama was in office and his party controlled 55 Senate seats. She rejected the calls — and died in September 2020, allowing then-President Donald Trump to replace her.
It was a history-making moment: Ginsburg’s successor, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, gave rise to a 6-3 conservative majority. Barrett went on to cast a deciding vote to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion rights ruling less than two years later.
With that humbling history in mind, some liberal commentators say Sotomayor — who is 69, a lifelong diabetic and the oldest member of the court’s liberal wing — should retire while Joe Biden is president and Democrats control the Senate, echoing similar calls directed at Ginsburg a decade ago that went unheeded.
I guess progs have grown weary of trying to goad the black guy (Clarence Thomas) into retiring and are now proclaiming that the first ever Hispanic woman to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court oughta call it a career.
