Bad AB? It is NOT a mechanical emergency!
You grounded out? NOT a mechanical emergency!
You popped one up? NOT a mechanical emergency!
You K’d? NOT a mechanical emergency!
Once you put it in your head that it’s a mechanical emergency, it will get worse… I promise.
IT’S NOT YOUR SWING!

“You’re going to take your hands back and set your foot down in a balanced position. When you set your foot down, it’s like stepping on a pillow. Notice, when you take your hands back and you set your foot down, that your body is not drifting forward.”

The best way to fix your curveball feel is to bounce it on purpose.
If you keep pulling your curveball to the glove side or leaving it high arm side, this drill is for you.
Stand across from a partner and try to bounce the ball halfway to him. Long hop, no hop. Watch the ball when it hits the ground.
You want it to kick straight to your partner. That only happens with true 12-6 spin.
To get that spin, your hand has to get way out in front and finish the pitch, with your middle finger pulling down on the ball. Your middle finger is what dictates the spin.
If the ball kicks sideways when it lands, you've got side spin. Throw a sweeper and bounce it the same way and you'll see it. It travels one way and kicks back the other when it hits the ground. That's not what you want on your curveball.
The ground gives you instant feedback. Keep throwing until every bounce kicks straight to your partner.

I gave a hitter one cue, it turned into a laser show:
“Compete vs the ball. REFUSE to let your barrel get under it.”
Most line drives and gap doubles he’s ever hit.
He'd go 4-5 in a row (never does that), misses one, then refocuses for another 4-5.
Why it worked:
Swing normally but focus on and fight to swing a tick higher than normal. (because 'normal' is always a tick too low)
Same swing, just in a better location.
It just needed something something better to focus on.

A Free Press reporter asks New Yorkers if socialism is good for America.
They all say yes.
Then she brings out Daniel Di Martino, who fled Venezuela, and they get a firsthand horror story they weren’t ready for.
NEW YORKER: “I think socialism is actually really good for society.”
DI MARTINO: “Are you familiar with how socialism worked out in other countries historically?”
NEW YORKER: “Just because it didn’t work out so well in other parts of the world doesn’t mean it won’t work out well for New York.”
Di Martino’s family lived through the promises these voters are buying.
DI MARTINO: “My family went from making $2,000 a month 20 years ago to $100 a month in 2016. That was because the government gave everything you can imagine for free.”
“We went from being a normal middle-class family with a car and then no electricity, no water.”
Asked if they support “government grocery stores,” the answer is just as confident.
NEW YORKER: “Of course I do.”
So Di Martino explains what grocery shopping looked like under socialism.
DI MARTINO: “There was very little supply of chicken, toilet paper. It was a line for blocks and blocks for a grocery store.”
NEW YORKER: “What happened in Venezuela isn’t going to happen here. The policy is more focused on helping people out.”
A man describes lines stretching for blocks just to buy chicken and toilet paper, and a Mamdani voter waves it away. Because THIS time, they’re sure it will work.
REPORTER: “You know, they have tried that in the Soviet Union from where my parents and my grandparents are from. All they remember of grocery stores is empty shelves.”
DI MARTINO: “The DSA went to Venezuela just last year to support the dictator and say that he won the election that he didn’t.”
NEW YORKER: “I had no idea. I did not know.”
DI MARTINO: “Government rent control. It’s going to stop people from renting apartments because they’re not going to be able to profit. There are going to be fewer apartments for rent.”
NEW YORKER: “That’s a good point. I agree with that. Okay. I understand more about socialism now for sure.”
Socialism always sounds good to people who’ve never had to live under it.
Those who have never want to live under it again.

🚨 WOW! John Thune took the Senate floor today, and critics are accusing him of siding with Democrats.
Some Republicans are furious, saying he's acting more like a Democrat than a Republican.
Do you think John Thune is siding with Democrats?

B. NO

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Sen. Ron Johnson says he'll STORM OUT of the Senate GOP meeting if Republican leadership elections for John Thune go forward tomorrow — Washington Examiner
"If you hold the election, I'll leave the room. I'm NOT going to participate in elections for leadership tomorrow."
Johnson called it "obnoxious" to rush the vote so soon after the midterm losses
He says asking for a conference meeting first is NOT a "hostile act," and he isn't maneuvering to take on Thune.
His point is simple — Republicans just took a beating, so they should figure out what went wrong BEFORE handing out leadership posts!
And we have another two whole MONTHS to see if Thune can lead us to success with the majority we still have.
TIME TO BLOCK THE VOTE 👏🏻

What do you say to a veteran who thinks his brothers d*ed for nothing?
This man says he spent years in the Middle East, ran convoys through Baghdad, and watched friends not come home
Now he's watching who just got elected in the midterms, and he's had enough:
"I don't understand it. It doesn't make sense to me"
"All this fcking years wasted and so many of our brothers fcking d*ed for nothing"
Our government completely betrayed our veterans.

🚨BREAKING: Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar was previously reported to the IRS for filing joint tax returns with a man she was NOT legally married to.
Minnesota Republicans flagged her after a state board found she filed jointly with Ahmed Hirsi in 2014 and 2015 while still legally married to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. She did not divorce Elmi until 2017. The returns were improper under both state and federal rules.
This pirate is long overdue to be deported. Federal investigators have already searched her home while examining her immigration history and marriage timeline. We have until January 3, 2027 to kick her out and block her from being seated in the new Congress over her fraudulent activities.

HOLY CRAP 🚨: Tiffany Cross: “ICE illegally held Abrego Garcia without a removal order, the basic legal document needed. And so when you look at that, it could happen to any of us.”
Scott Jennings: “Are you an illegal alien? You're not.”
Tiffany Cross: “People aren't illegal. So, undocumented citizens.”
Scott Jennings: “You’re a citizen of the United States. He’s not.”
“Is he an illegal alien or not?”
Tiffany Cross: “I don't call people illegal aliens. I think that's a slur.”
Scott Jennings: “Is he an illegal alien? Is he in the country illegally?”
Tiffany Cross: “Is he here undocumented? Yes.”
Scott Jennings: “Is he an illegal alien?”
Tiffany Cross: “But if I may have the professional courtesy to finish my point more, even more concerned, I'm not the liar at the table, believe me.”
Scott Jennings: “Just be honest about it. You're lying right now.”

🚨 BURCHETT SHUTS IT DOWN: Hakeem Jeffries is a "hard yes" on impeaching Pete Hegseth.
Tim Burchett's answer: "It's not going to happen."
"On what grounds? You impeach for criminal activity.
What did he do? He FOLLOWED THE PRESIDENT'S ORDERS."
Democrats aren't even sworn in yet, and they're already lining up impeachments.
Burchett said it best: "That just shows the Democrats' cards for the next couple of years."
Impeachment for doing your job. That's the Democrat agenda.

🔥🚨 BREAKING — Word is that John Thune is working to STOP Marsha Blackburn from appointing Rep. Tim Burchett to fill her Senate seat.
Rumor has it that John Thune DOES NOT want Burchett anywhere near the Senate...
Thune did not deliver the SAVE America Act, and now the talk is that he is spending energy on BLOCKING the appointment of a PATRIOT!
Burchett has pushed hard on the issues that matter to voters. THUNE MUST GO!

🚨 JUST IN: Chuck Schumer worked with OPEC to drive up gas prices and shift the blame onto President Trump.

🚨THEY FILLED THE CAR WITH BALLOTS… AND SAID WHO WAS DOING IT
James O’Keefe’s undercover cameras caught it cold.
A ballot harvester in Minnesota shows the trunk and dashboard packed:
“You can see my car is full. All these here are absentee ballots. Can’t you see? Look at all these. My car is full.”
300 in one haul.
When asked who fills them out: “People who work with Ilhan and other candidates… they work for them.”
Cash changes hands. Elders get visited. Blank or open ballots leave the building. Minnesota law limits how many you can carry. Federal law bans the pay-to-vote scheme. None of it mattered.
This is the same machine still fighting every single effort to require citizenship proof and clean the rolls. The same people who call election security “disenfranchisement.”
They never stopped. They just got quieter about the receipts.
Pass the SAVE Act.
Clean the rolls.
End the harvest.
The patriots are done pretending this is normal.
