An autopsy as malpractice
The Democrats couldn't complete their term paper, but handed it in anyway because too many people were wondering what had become of it. Under pressure, the DNC finally released its autopsy of the 2024 election, after rampant speculation about what it contained and why it hadn't yet been made public. Did it include references to Gaza or didn't it? Why or why not? What explosive revelations were being kept from us? It turns out that the autopsy is a thoroughly unimpressive, unfinished document that, in the sheer incompetence in its drafting and handling, says more about the low state ...
Children are now running our big cities
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani earned national attention in a not-good way when he recorded himself in front of Ken Griffin's Manhattan home revealing the billionaire's address. He tapped the lens in a threatening manner and said guys like Griffin are going to pay more taxes. Griffin is the founder and CEO of Citadel, a giant hedge fund. The wisdom of raising taxes on expensive second homes can be debated, but doxxing Griffin in that nasty, personal way was flat stupid. Griffin accurately described Mamdani's stunt as "creepy and weird," in addition to showing a "profound lack of ...
Today in History
Today is Wednesday, June 3, the 154th day of 2026. There are 211 days left in the year. On June 3, 1943, an altercation between U.S. Navy sailors and young Mexican Americans on the streets of Los Angeles led to several days of clashes known as the Zoot Suit Riots as white mobs attacked Mexican Americans across the city, injuring more than 150 people.

In 1888, the poem "Casey at the Bat" by Ernest Lawrence Thayer was first published in the San ...
Finals are whole new world for Knicks, Spurs
SAN ANTONIO — For a few hours on Tuesday, the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks held practices on a floor that had the NBA Finals logo painted at midcourt. They did interviews with the logo as a backdrop. They saw finals mentions basically everywhere they looked. It might have seemed normal. It wasn't. This stage — the NBA Finals — is new to just about everyone on the Spurs and Knicks rosters, meaning very few players on either side can have any real idea of how the moment will seem tonight when the 80th title series in league history gets underway in San Antonio. They have ...
Hertl’s late goal lifts Golden Knights past Hurricanes
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Tomas Hertl took a backhand pass from Colton Sisson and beat Frederik Andersen from the slot with 3:24 left in the third period, lifting the Vegas Golden Knights past the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 in Tuesday night's opener of the Stanley Cup Final. Hertl's finish off Sisson's feed from the right faceoff circle broke a 4-4 tie and pushed the Golden Knights ahead in an entertaining back-and-forth start on the sport's biggest stage. It marked Vegas' seventh straight win of the playoffs, starting with the last two games of the six-game second-round series against ...
