“In his ten years working on the documentary Burns somehow never got around to interviewing a vet like Minneapolis attorney Tim Kelly, who speaks for the many expressing simple pride in their service.”
A good critique with links to others at Power Line, such as scholar Mark Moyer’s dismissal of Burns’ dishonest poop.
I didn’t watch any of it and won’t now for sure.

“The Yankees catcher, Sanchez (I think his name is Gary) is a fine hitter and catcher I have no doubt at all. I’ve seen his hitting, and he is a batter to be reckoned with. But I don’t think he caught a single ball thrown from the field in the whole ALCS. Every time the Astros sent a guy home, he dropped it, and the run thus scored.”

More good insight from J.D, at Mouth of the Brazos.
“You can’t hit a fucking thing in full auto…. The only way they are worth shooting in full auto would be like [the Vegas massacre man] did, i.e., spraying a tight group of targets, and the way for inducing fatal shots rather than a bunch of superficial wounds would to be from above, which would lead to a shitload of head wounds.”
Full auto, also known as spray-n-pray, is strictly for intimidation purposes.
“All told, Amazon has hired some 1,000 M.B.A.s in the past year, according to Miriam Park, Amazon’s director of university programs—a drop in the bucket for a company that plans to add 50,000 software developers in the next year. But Amazon’s flood-the-zone approach to recruiting and hiring future M.B.A.s—in some cases before they have taken a single business-school course—is feeding the career frenzy on campus and rankling some rival recruiters.”
Judging from my monthly Amazon bill I already do work for them.

Of the Democrat Party, of course.
“The Associated Press is a loyal servant of the Democratic Party and its liberal components. If you doubt that assertion, consider today’s AP article on the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court term by reporter Mark Sherman.”
All liberal comment. Much of it anti-Trump. Not a conservative or even a moderate in the bunch. AP really has trouble with objectivity.
“The Associated Press plays this game every day, in pretty much all of its coverage. Frame issues the way the Democratic Party wants them framed, then turn to liberal ‘experts’ for comment. Are reporters like Mark Sherman fooling anyone? No, which is why trust in the media is in the toilet…”
A good old fashioned fisking by retired lawyer John Hinderaker.

San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich on the NFL kneelers: “People have to be made to feel uncomfortable, and especially white people because we’re comfortable.”
Not that I ever watched much, but now I won’t be watching at all. And Insty has it right: TRUMP 2020 GETS A SHOT IN THE ARM. Bigly.

UPDATE: From commenter neoconned at Insty’s place: “Yep. He’s right and he should lead by example. Popovich should make himself uncomfortable by resigning his bazillion dollar baby sitting job, selling his mansion and moving to….I don’t know…public housing in Ferguson MO?”

Good time to look into the charming criminal and misdemeanor behavior of these millionaire cry-babies. Most are for DUI and wife-beating, i,e, domestic violence.
“NFL Arrest provides an interactive visualized database of National Football League player Arrests & Charges. Learn about your rival team’s history with the law, break down arrests by Player, Position, Crime and Team.”
Via (who else?) Instapundit.
UPDATE: “Los Angeles Ram Ethan Westbrooks was arrested this weekend for speeding and being in possession of an unlicensed firearm. This is the second time in bracelets this year for Westbrooks, who was arrested in March on suspicion of domestic violence (the charges were later dropped).”
