Our 4th of July panel of historians ranks Washington, Adams, and Jefferson as three of the most consequential leaders in history. But another historian, whose training is as a golf caddy, has a different list: Trump, Hitler, and Genghis Khan.

The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.

Les Miz threw a Maddux tonight -- a complete game in fewer than 100 pitches. He had 15 Ks. The previous record seems to have been 13, done twice, by these two guys. No one had ever had 14 Ks in a Maddux, much less 15.

If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.
