CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago White Sox employee of the month got to throw out a first pitch. And, to put it mildly, she was just a little bit off target.
The rookie right-hander uncorked one of the most wayward first pitches ever when she plunked a team photographer standing close by, between the mound and first base line prior to Tuesday night’s game against the Kansas City Royals.
The ball went right off Darren Georgia’s lens, nowhere near the plate.
The last few days have been a clear example of why Sen. Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is wobbling.
Let’s begin with the former district attorney’s visit to her home ground for the 75th anniversary celebration of the Sun Reporter, the town’s African American newspaper.
Harris worked the pre-party crowd with charm, sharing jokes and memories with everyone she came across. But when she took the stage, we got a 30-minute lecture on the importance of the First Amendment. An inspiring subject, but she went on way too long and without any reference to where she was or who was in the room.
She might as well have been in New Hampshire.
The shaman who has stolen Norway´s Princess Martha´s heart touched down in Norway to be with her on Tuesday ahead of a five-city, joint speaking tour which they are selling tickets for online after announcing their romance to the world on Instagram. The eccentric princess announced on Monday that Shaman Durek, whose real name is Derek Verrett, was her ´twin flame´ and new boyfriend. It is unclear where they met or when but photographs of them together date back to November last year. Sources tell DailyMail.com they are ´madly in love´ and that she was one of his clients.
The U.S. Army has decided to go back the very classic design of the uniforms they wore back in World War II. “This uniform is one of the most admired and recognizable uniforms in the Army’s history. It was worn by soldiers during WWII and the Korean War,” Army spokeswoman, Heather J. Hagan, told The Daily Caller on Wednesday. “The reintroduction of this uniform is meant to inspire trust and confidence in our soldiers’ professionalism and readiness,” she added.

President Donald Trump denied that the U.S. paid North Korea $2 million for Otto Warmbier´s medical care after reports emerged Thursday that the regime forced U.S. officials to sign a pledge to do so. "No money was paid to North Korea for Otto Warmbier, not two Million Dollars, not anything else," the president tweeted. Warmbier, an American college student detained by North Korea for allegedly stealing a propaganda poster, died six days after he was freed by North Korea and handed over to U.S. officials in June 2017.
NEW YORK — If New York is a city of dreams, Anna Sorokin had plenty of them. Sorokin, a Russian immigrant from a middle-class family, longed to be a member of the upper echelon of Manhattan society. She elbowed her way into the city’s bustling social scene and tried to raise money to open a members-only arts club on Park Avenue South. To friends and those wanting to do business with her, there was no reason to believe she was not who she said she was — a wealthy German heiress with a taste for the high life.
According to the Infinite Monkey Theorem, if you give enough apes sufficient time and plenty of typewriters, then they should be able to rattle out the complete works of William Shakespeare. However, one chimpanzee appears determined to get a head start on his simian friends by picking up an iPhone and trying to master a few of the more basic features. The one-minute-long experiment prompted excited internet users to share footage of the inquisitive chimpanzee. JD Durkin from Queens, New York, who posted the footage expressed his concern over the prospect of technologically advanced apes.
In a handful of fossilized teeth and bones, scientists say they’ve found evidence of a previously unknown human species that lived in what is now the Philippines about 50,000 years ago. The discovery deepens the mystery of an era when the world was a melting pot of many different human kinds on the move. Small-jawed with dainty teeth, able to walk upright but with feet still shaped to climb, these island creatures were a mix-and-match patchwork of primitive and advanced features in a unique variation of the human form, the scientists reported Wednesday in the journal Nature.
Audrey Hepburn was the princess of Hollywood thanks to such hits as Roman Holiday, Sabrina and Breakfast At Tiffany´s. But before the beauty rolled west, she had harrowing experiences in Nazi occupied Holland during World War II. And in the new book Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn And World War II - which shared an excerpt in People this week - historian and biographer Robert Matzen wrote about how she helped the resistance in her native country.
SAN FRANCISCO - Jen and Sarah Hart and three of their adopted children died of broken necks after their SUV plunged off a Northern California cliff, a forensic pathologist testified during a coroner´s inquest Wednesday to help authorities classify the deaths. A jury in Willits will decide whether the March 2018 deaths of the two women and their six children were accidental or a murder-suicide. The crash happened just days after authorities in Washington state opened an investigation following allegations the children, ages 12 to 19, were being neglected.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi told senior Democrats that she’d like to see President Donald Trump “in prison” as she clashed with House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler in a meeting on Tuesday night over whether to launch impeachment proceedings. (Snip) “I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,” Pelosi said, according to multiple Democratic sources familiar with the meeting. Instead of impeachment, Pelosi still prefers to see Trump defeated at the ballot box and then prosecuted for his alleged crimes, according to the sources. They said she was expressing solidarity with pro-impeachment Democrats
Democrats want to bring a panel of psychiatrists to Washington to suggest that President Donald Trump is mentally unfit to be president. Kentucky Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth has been tasked with coordinating the project, now planned for July, the Washington Examiner reported Wednesday. “We’re planning to put together an event … a town hall. We haven’t actually determined the format,” Yarmuth said.Dr. Bandy Lee, a persistent critic of the president who believes Trump’s state of mental health makes him unfit for office, is slated to lead the team of psychiatrists. Lee teaches at the Yale School of Medicine and is the editor of the book,
I don’t think it is a coincidence that just as President Trump is in the UK we suddenly learn that “dossier” author Christopher Steele has agreed to be questioned by US authorities. (snip) I have all along believed that part of President Trump’s mission in the UK was winning over British support for fully outing the role of its intelligence services in the Russia Hoax. He would have to guarantee that the overall relationship would remain sound even if highly embarrassing facts come to light.
Let’s be clear about a few things regarding “carbon taxes”. First, the system of taxing carbon emissions, also known as “cap-n-trade”, has absolutely nothing to do with climate change. Second a “carbon tax” is the holy grail for the totalitarian globalist world view.
The concept of a tax on carbon emissions was developed inside the same financial network of multinational monetary interests that control the current global trade system. Powerful financial interests directly connected to The World Bank (WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Trade Organization (WTO), together with global banking interests connected to Wall Street and

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — June is Pride month, which means you may be seeing a lot of those iconic rainbow flags, depending on where you live. You might also see other flags flying next to them, meant to include the diversity of the LGBTQ community — here's what they all mean. The iconic six-striped rainbow flag was created by artist and veteran Gilbert Baker in 1978 at the request of activist Harvey Milk, according to Baker's website. Baker's original flag included eight colored stripes, each with a different meaning: pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) sounded under the weather as she attacked President Trump over his proposed tariffs on Mexican imports during a presser on Wednesday. A reporter asked Pelosi if President Trump’s threat of tariffs against Mexico is working.Pelosi slammed her hands on the lectern as she lashed out at President Trump on Wednesday and asserted his proposed tariffs are “dangerous territory” and said this is not the way to deal with immigration.“This is dangerous territory. This is not a way to treat a friend. It’s not a way to deal with immigration,” Pelosi said.
Left-wing actress Bette Midler took to social media this week and suggested that someone in President Donald Trump’s “camp” should “shiv” or stab him.
“He actually looks better here! Maybe someone in his camp can gently give him a shiv. I mean, shove,” Bette Midler said on Tuesday night. The actress was piggybacking on a tweet by Michael Moore, who had ranted about President Trump’s surprise visit to McLean Bible Church in Virginia on Sunday.
“Seriously, WTF is this? At what the WH said was ‘a memorial for the 12 shot dead in Virginia Beach’ (it wasn’t),

One would focus on increasing voter turnout. The plan would allow same-day voter registration. Twenty states and Washington DC allow same-day registration now. Sixteen and 17 year olds would be automatically pre-registered.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) made her first campaign stop in Michigan on Tuesday, and launched a shocking $2 trillion "infrastructure investment" plan designed to address the burgeoning problem of climate change, which Warren claims is a bigger threat to the American way of life than the enemies the Allied Forces faced in World War II. (Video) Speaking to the job training organization Focus:Hope just days before the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, which turned the tide against Nazi German in western Europe, Warren claimed
Trump's Tariff Gambit

President Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on all Mexican imports until Mexico takes serious action to control its border with the U.S. shocked the Washington Beltway, Wall Street, and the Palacio Nacional in Mexico City. These centers of financial and political power, lulled by a U.S. Congress that has refused to act and activist federal judges who have stymied Trump’s border control efforts at every step, were jolted awake by Trump’s ultimatum. But they should not have been surprised. The president issued a similar threat back in April. And, Trump promised from day one of his presidential campaign that he would make stanching the flow of illegal immigration,
