Box Score of the Week

Let's go with a game from this past weekend: Minnesota Twins at Seattle Mariners - May 31, 2025.

------------------------------------

On assignment

Given we're on the brink of summer, I will be absent from a good number of Sunday radio shows over the next few months, starting today. 

Community Solutions MN co-founder Andrew Richter will be filling in on the today's broadcast, 1-3 PM Central Time. 

You can listen in the Twin Cities at AM 1280 or, if you're near downtown Minneapolis/West Metro area, 107.5 FM on your radio dial. In and out of the Minneapolis-St Paul area you can listen to the program on the Internet by clicking this link, or check us out via iheart radio as well as Amazon Alexa (just say "Alexa, play The Patriot Minneapolis"). If you're unable to tune in live, please check out my podcast page for the latest show post.

And if you're so inclined, follow along on Twitter at #NARNShow or "Like" our Facebook page.

Until then.....

Happy June 1

Just a friendly reminder as we enter the month of June. 

Pride is a devastating sin and is complex. Most sins turn us away from God, but pride directly attacks God. It lifts us above and against God, seeking to dethrone Him by enthroning ourselves.

Box Score of the Week

Colorado Rockies at Chicago Cubs - August 7, 2001.

--------------------------------

This game was more noteworthy for what happened during the 7th inning stretch. 

In honor of the late Chicago Bears legend Steve McMichael, who passed away last month, here's a flashback to when he was the guest performer of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." The best part is just before he sang, he ripped umpire Angel Hernandez for being....well.....Angel Hernandez. 

As for the game itself, it ended in with utter chaos.

Does Democracy still die in darkness, or nah?

Yes, then President Joe Biden's aides as well as members of his Cabinet deserve significant criticism for the coordinated coverup of his diminished capacity. However, a tough (but honest & fair) media would have executed healthy skepticism over Team Biden's claims, especially since everyday Americans could ascertain all was not well. 

As co-author of the book "Original Sin," which documents the lengths to which Team Biden attempted to shield the President's infirmities, Alex Thompson shared an anecdote which characterized how the media went beyond even those measures. 

Just remarkable from @AlexThomp to @LelandVittert tonight on @NewsNation -- even top Biden Advisors were amazed at how much the media was willing to participate in the Biden cover-up. And the press is still doing it now with the cancer news. pic.twitter.com/xZ3e2Nvsge

When Donald Trump was inaugurated as President for the first time back in 2017, many media outlets lectured how journalism was more crucial than at any point in U.S. history given how a dangerous figure like Trump can rise to the White House. And it was the Washington Post who coined perhaps the most sanctimonious catchphrase of all - Democracy Dies in Darkness. 

We've once again seen it play out in real time that a corrupt, bias media is more dangerous to our democracy than a Trump presidency.

Box Score of the Week

Pittsburgh Pirates at Washington Nationals - June 8, 2010.

---------------------------------

Washington starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg struck out 14 batters while walking 0 in his first major league start. That is a MLB record for most K's with no BB's in a debut.
