ALBERT PUJOLS SHOULD RETURN TO ST. LOUIS

The Cardinals really ought to consider allowing Albert Pujols to finish his superstar career where it began...in St. Louis. Yes, there really isn't a clear-cut role on the team for him other than as a backup, pinch-hitting type player.The Los Angeles Angels surprised the baseball world earlier this week by unceremoniously releasing the 41-year-old veteran. For those not aware, Pujols signed a multi-million-dollar contract with the Angels nearly ten years ago after putting up legendary numbers during the first part of his career in St. Louis. However, he never really caught on in Los Angeles. 2021 has been especially laborious for him. If he does decide to wear the 'birds on the bat' again, Pujols can end his career playing for a team that has a real shot at winning a championship. And Cardinals fans get to say goodbye to one of the true legends of their historic franchise. There is precedent for aging superstars returning to their original homes, by the way. The Hall of Fame careers of Willie Mays and Hank Aaron ended in just such a fashion.

THE WHITEWASHING OF LIZ CHENEY

What is with this preoccupation from the so-called ‘liberal’ media with Liz Cheney? Lately it seems, cable news channels MSNBC and CNN are lavishing endless hours of coverage to the rift between Cheney, a Republican congresswoman from Wyoming and daughter to former Vice President Dick Cheney, and the current GOP House leadership that’s loyal to Donald Trump.

Cheney had the audacity to vote for the former president’s impeachment due to his role in instigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection earlier this year. In retaliation, Trumpian House leaders seek to strip Cheney of her powerful committee assignments.

As a result of all this insider politics, Liz Cheney has been elevated as the new courageous hero for the ‘resistance’ by becoming the emblem for the GOP they falsely assert it once was, fact-based and rational. While Liz Cheney appears willing to sacrifice her House career by calling out Trump’s lies, lest we forget, she continues to support her father’s lies that led to untold amounts of death, bloodshed, and torture in the disastrous Iraq War. Liz Cheney is about as right wing as they come. She’s a warmonger who’s never met a war or bloated defense budget she didn’t love as she’s to the right of Trump on foreign policy. She’s vigorously opposed both COVID-19 relief acts calling the first one “a real tragedy”, and has attacked even the mildest responses to gun violence as an assault on the Second Amendment.

Amnesia seems to have gripped much of the mainstream liberal media these days as pundits continue to revise the legacy of the Bush-Cheney crowd, including the former vice president’s daughter, in a sympathetic, yet erroneous, recollection. Frankly, I won’t lose any sleep if Liz Cheney loses her clout in Congress.
