These facts alone certify the Rangers as a contender to win the World Series for the first time in their history. Then there’s this: Texas is 54-27 against teams with winning records — more wins against good teams than the Braves or Twins have against all of baseball this year.

American and United and Delta are going to rule the world.” But I’ve been saying all along, “Don’t feel sorry about People Express, you’ll get another one.” Now it’s happening. A new set of second-generation entrants is coming that learned from both the mistakes of the People Expresses and the successes of the Southwests....
That title for a brutal, nihilistic spasm of disorganized violence gives the event far more dignity and gravity than it deserves. The use of such language only encourages the dangerous notion that acts of wanton and meaningless destruction possess some grand historic significance. Unfortunately, the single article of impeachment, adopted by the House of Representatives on a bipartisan vote, charges President Trump with “incitement of insurrection.” A recent article in The New Yorker bears the title, “Among the Insurrectionists,” and attempts to probe the thought processes of the rioters as if they represent a significant strain in contemporary culture....

In fact, those of us with a sense of irony and a little knowledge of economic history start to get nervous when we hear that the United States is now the economic model for the rest of the world and we can look forward to a glorious American Century, if not an entire American Millennium. Because about the time that the triumph of some economic system or other is proclaimed, that system is almost always getting ready to fall flat on its fanny....

Bloomberg, whose net worth is about $60 billion, has come under fire for his highly controversial “stop and frisk” policing strategy, which was implemented when he was New York’s mayor from 2002 to 2013. The policy is now known to have disproportionately targeted and harmed minority communities. Although Bloomberg has apologized for the policy and claimed he worked to end stop and frisk by the end of his time as mayor, recently resurfaced clips from 2013 and 2015 show that he strongly defended the policy in his final year in the job and years later....
