Hey Chuckie Schumer. How would you like your crow cooked? I hope it’s better than your hamburgers.
Congratulations to @Frenchi. Your question was chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Frenchi. What myth or urban legends did you believe growing up ?
Congratulations to @Dylwa77 and @Apalm. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Dylwa77 If you were granted a wish to learn the truth about one controversial event, what would it be?
@APalm Do you remember a time that you succumbed to peer pressure, or resisted it?
I am constantly irritated by those who don't understand the purpose of the Electoral College. The country would not have been created if it was insisted that there was simply a national vote n President. The few highly populated areas would run roughshod over the more rural areas. The Electoral College was the compromise.
Blue States and purple ones with Dems in charge are trying to change that.
If you want to break the country apart...just keep this up.
Harold made a comment on the five the other day that he likes Al Sharpton. For those of you who live in and around NY and remember Tawana Brawley, that was Sharpton’s rise. Wake up Harold.
In MLB History:
On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson made his historic Major League Baseball debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field, breaking the baseball color barrier. He played first base, went 0-for-3, but scored the winning run in a 5–3 victory over the Boston Braves, starting a career that transformed the sport and American civil rights.
Key Details of the Debut:
The Milestone: Robinson became the first African American to play in MLB since 1884, ending over 50 years of segregation in the modern era.
Game Performance: Before 26,623 fans, Robinson hit second, played first base (handling 11 chances), and was involved in the pivotal seventh-inning run.
Significance: The 28-year-old rookie faced immense pressure and racial abuse, yet went on to win the inaugural Rookie of the Year Award that season with a batting average of .297, 175 hits, 12 home runs, and 48 runs batted in.
Legacy: Since 2004, and more broadly since 2009, April 15th is celebrated as "Jackie Robinson Day" throughout...
