Rosie O'Donnell speaks out in Irish TV interview

I think Rosie's exile from America is one of the very sad results of Trump's election. I hope she continues to speak out to Americans from over there. (Apologies if this has been posted already.)

Pirates to re-add Roberto Clemente sign, apologize to family

Source: ESPN.com

The Pirates announced Sunday that they will be adding the No. 21 logo back to the right field wall to honor Roberto Clemente at PNC Park after the franchise icon's family expressed their unhappiness that the sign was removed for an advertisement.

"We did not intend to disrespect the legacy of Roberto Clemente by adding the advertisement to the pad in right field," Pirates president Travis Williams said in a statement. "When we added the advertisement to the pad, it was an oversight not to keep the No. 21 logo. This is ultimately on me, not anyone else in the organization. It was an honest mistake. We will be adding the No. 21 logo back to the pad."

Williams added: "We want to make sure that the Clemente family understands that we intended no disrespect to their father. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Clemente family and apologize to them and our fans for our honest mistake."

The sign, which had been on the right-field wall since 2022, featured Clemente's name and his No. 21 but it was replaced with an advertisement for Surfside, an alcoholic drink.

How can a team whose legend is Roberto Clemente just call this an "oversight" or an "honest mistake"?

Kamala Harris Left 'Speechless' by Trump's Shocking Victory

Source: The Daily Beast

By Will Neal
Updated Apr. 5 2025 2:46PM EDT
Published Apr. 5 2025 11:23AM EDT

The author of a new book says former Vice President Kamala Harris was so taken aback by President Donald Trump's shocking win in November that she could barely speak. As the reality of her defeat set in, Harris repeatedly asked her aides "if they'd actually lost" and whether "they were prepared to do a recount."

Harris's running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, "had the same exact reaction" as he watched from his room at D.C.'s Mayflower Hotel, Amie Parnes, a senior correspondent for The Hill, told TMZ on Friday. "They really thought they were going to win," Parnes said. Parnes--whose book on the matchup, "Fight," was released this week--said Harris was left "without words" at her home in Washington, D.C., when the results came in November 5.

Co-authored with NBC journalist Jonathan Allen, Parnes's book reveals Harris was disappointed by a perceived lack of support from former President Barack Obama and ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "She was really looking for [Obama's] approval this time around, and was really kinda underwhelmed by his support in the very end," Parnes said. "She was really upset by the fact he took several days to get behind her."

"There were some very hurt feelings on her part," Parnes added, noting that both she and her co-author "greatly believe" the Harris-Walz campaign could have sailed to victory had there not been "so many missteps along the way."

She wasn't the only one who thought she was going to win. With her positiveness and his corruption, it would have seemed natural she would win.

But what missteps? It's hard to win when the other side cheats and buys votes.

Doug Emhoff publicly criticizes his law firm for coming to agreement with Trump administration

Source: CNN

By Jake Tapper, CNN
Updated 5:48 PM EDT, Sat April 5, 2025
CNN
—
Speaking at a charity gala dinner Thursday night in Los Angeles, former second gentleman Doug Emhoff condemned the decision by his law firm to preemptively come to an arrangement with the Trump administration to avoid an executive order targeting the firm, sources tell CNN.

Emhoff is a partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, which this week agreed to a deal with President Donald Trump, which the president said includes the firm providing at least $100 million in pro bono legal services throughout his second term. It’s the third example of a high-profile firm cutting a deal with the White House as Trump has targeted firms that have done work with his perceived political enemies.

Emhoff told the crowd at the Annual Dinner Gala for the legal aid group Bet Tzedek he had told the firm he wanted to fight the threat of an executive order he found unconstitutional but had been overruled, the sources said.

On Tuesday, Trump announced on Truth Social he had come to an agreement with the firm. The agreement, Trump stated, also means the firm “will not engage in illegal DEI discrimination and preferences” and “will not deny representation to clients … because of the personal political views of individual lawyers.”

JD Vance Warns There's 'Very Strong Evidence' China, Russia Want Greenland

Source: Newsweek

Vice President JD Vance criticized Denmark on Friday for what he called an "underinvestment" in Greenland, saying there was "very strong evidence" that Russia and China want the island and access to its resources. Vance's remarks at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland come as President Donald Trump advocates for a United States takeover of the island.

(snip)


"Our message to Denmark is very simple," Vance said during the visit. "You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland. Denmark has not kept pace in devoting the resources necessary to keep this base, to keep our troops, and in my view to keep the people of Greenland safe from a lot of aggressive incursions from Russia, from China, and from other nations."

(snip)

"Why does Greenland matter so much?" Vance said. "We know that Russia and China and other nations are taking an extraordinary interest in Arctic passageways, Arctic naval routes, and in the minerals of the Arctic territories. We need to ensure America is leading in the Arctic."

Nothing like a little fearmongering to show your weakness, Vance. magas are stupid enough to believe it but the smarter people of Greenland sure the hell won't.
