The Twins are one of the teams whose broadcast is produced and distributed by Major League Baseball. That's probably why they get the home feed on the app.

I don't know, the prices I've see on some sites look fairly reasonable for a once every few years vacation. Especially if you don't go wild and buy into some of the on board shopping options. The demos I ran into on the ship as well seemed not much different that from what I encounter at Colonial Williamsburg.

I just finished an 8 day cruise about a week ago. Fighting the affects of a cold right now... They're out to kill us

I can only remember a few teachers that far back (coming up on what would be 55th high school reunion). I do think I would have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder or whatever. I was more interested in what was happening in the reading groups than doing the math worksheets.

Third grade arithmetic 3x60=180... 3 hours and 20 minutes. Way too long

Can't have our plebes poisoned by culture

The Religious Test Clause states that there be no religious test ever be required for any office or public trust in the US. One would assume, in normal times, that includes all government offices as well. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-6/clause-3/ In fact several states refused to vote in favor of the original constitution unless there was a Freedom of Religion amendment. Freedom of religion has been interpreted as including non religious beliefs.

US Constitution, First Amendment.

Just more proof that justice is no longer blind in the US anymore.

Unfortunately I have the same feeling

I asked ChatGPT for a Madison reaction to Federal Judges accepting "gifts". I got this reply This was the response from Jefferson

A little difficult when the "Originalists" are the ones on the take.

Knowing the Tigers history in the past several years this is the type of guy that will hold them to 4 hits thru 7 innings and look like the second coming of Nolan Ryan

James Madison in the Federalist Papers "47"

An apt description of the current regime. From 100 years ago, exactly where the devil spawn of Fred and Mary wants to go. (Hint, we were not great then)

But the $$Billionaires will get their tax breaks, along with profit from inside trading

Best shape of his life. The metabolism of an 18 year old. Yada, yada, yada,

I wonder how many Republican Congresswomen Wii be affected, or are they exempt. Marjory Taylor-Greene, for example, does that match her birth certificate? Is she even eligible to serve?

And the rich get richer while the middle class gets screwed...

From the look on her face and posture it seems to me she was unaware of the announcement Trump was making at the time. I think she was ambushed. Especially considering that she was in DC to address bipartisan cooperation to strengthen American manufacturing and to discuss specific tariff issues related to the Michigan auto industry. Yes, she should have probably know better considering her past interactions with the Gangster President
