Four years ago, MLB moved its All-Star Game from Georgia. Now, as the game is set to return to the ATL, baseball is ignoring that ever happened. ATLANTA — With all due respect to Pat McAfee, a sleeveless, exuberant, bro-friendly TV host probably wouldn’t be the first choice to field inquiries about thorny political matters of voting rights. But on Monday at MLB’s All-Star Media Day, while hosting an event that included starting pitchers Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes, McAfee faced a question that has lurked behind the scenes — far, far behind the scenes — of this year’s All-Star Game. Why, since the game was removed from Atlanta in 2021 over Georgia’s then-new voting rights law, is it back in 2025, with the law still very much intact? It’s a question McAfee and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts answered with some deft redirection … and a question Major League Baseball is answering with silence. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/mlb-all-star-game-2025-why-is-the-all-star-game-back-in-atlanta-next-question-203421427.html?

Possible good news. Two sworn enemies unite against Putin Kieran Kelly Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan (L) met Azerbaijani president Alham Aliyev last week. After decades of conflict the two countries are now aligned against Moscow The collapse of relations between Russia and Azerbaijan came in a series of quick-fire blows. It began with the arrest of seven nationals from the former Soviet republic last month in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg. They were held as part of an investigation by Moscow into mafia-style killings dating back 25 years. Within days, two suspects – both ethnic Azerbaijanis – died in custody. Others appeared in court visibly bruised and beaten. Azerbaijan responded with fury. Russian cultural events were cancelled, the Baku bureau of the Kremlin-owned Sputnik news agency was raided, and a group of Russian IT workers was arrested and accused of drug-trafficking and cybercrime. https://www.yahoo.com/news/two-sworn-enemies-unite-against-050000894.html Then came the threat, on Russian state TV, that Baku could be “taken in three days”, echoing rhetoric used before the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. War is unlikely. But the rift is real – and dangerous for Moscow because Armenia, after fighting a series of brutal wars with Azerbaijan over 30 years, is aligning with its old enemy to push Putin out of the South Caucasus. On July 10, Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan’s president, met Nikol Pashinyan, the prime minister of Armenia.

Trump Finally Had It Up to HERE With Putin. They had a friendly, businesslike relationship — which Putin seems to have misread as being able to treat Trump like a mark. By Stephen Green America is back in the business of arming Ukraine, thanks to President Donald Trump's patience finally wearing thin with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin. Putin "talks nice, and then he bombs everybody in the evening," Trump told reporters on Sunday. "It’s a little bit of a problem there, I don't like it." Putin's latest round of terror-bombing Kyiv made Trump do a 180 on weapons supplies to Ukraine, promising that "we will send them Patriots, which they desperately need." The decision comes after a temporary freeze on weapons shipments to Ukraine, "driven by Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby after a review of U.S. munitions stockpiles that showed dangerously low reserves," according to Fox News. Translation: Putin is so intransigently unserious about peace that Trump is willing to take some risks to help change his mind. "We get a lot of bulls*** thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth," Trump admitted a week ago, following a record-setting Russian air attack on Kyiv. "He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless." https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2025/07/14/trump-finally-had-it-up-to-here-with-putin-n4941724

Marco Rubio Drops the Hammer By Charlton Allen In a long-overdue repudiation of international lawfare cloaked as human rights work, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has slapped sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the United Nations' so-called “special rapporteur” for Palestinian territories, whose tenure has been the epitome of anti-Western, anti-American, and anti-Israeli provocation theatre. Albanese, an Italian academic turned ideological inquisitor, was appointed in 2022 by the United Nations Human Rights Council—a body whose moral compass spins like it was borrowed from James Comey, Crossfire Hurricane edition. Among its current members: China, Cuba, Sudan, and South Africa—a rogue’s gallery of surveillance states, strongmen, and serial rights abusers, nations that take a brief respite from oppressing their own citizens to lecture the West on justice. From this perch, Albanese hasn’t monitored human rights so much as targeted them, channeling her mandate into a scorched-earth crusade against America, Israel, and the corporations that dare do business with either. {snip} Secretary Rubio had seen enough. On Wednesday, invoking Executive Order 14203, the U.S. government: Froze Albanese’s assets under U.S. jurisdiction, Prohibited all U.S. individuals and companies from engaging with her, And barred her from setting foot on American soil, including the UN headquarters in New York. It marks the first time a sitting UN rapporteur has been added to the U.S. sanctions list. The provocation, however, has been years in the making. Enough was enough. These sanctions are not a silencing tactic—though the usual suspects will shriek regardless. They are a sovereign act of self-defense—a foreign policy firewall against the weaponization of international law by unaccountable global clerics aligned with those who wish us harm. Simply put, Francesca Albanese is an anti-American agent provocateur who has built a career on agitprop against Israel and the United States. Being held accountable is long overdue. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/07/marco_rubio_drops_the_hammer.html

OUR MEDIA? PERISH THE THOUGHT! Media Runs Interference as Biden Autopen Scandal Explodes. The legacy media never misses a beat when it comes to parroting Democratic talking points, screaming “threat to democracy” and “constitutional crisis” anytime Donald Trump sneezes in the wrong direction. But when the left tramples on constitutional norms? Crickets — or worse, full-blown excuses. Case in point: Joe Biden’s autopen scandal. The same press corps that waited until after he left office to admit what we all saw with our own eyes — that Biden was mentally unfit — is now running interference again. This time, they’re pretending the autopen scandal is much ado about nothing. This week, the New York Times published an exposé that revealed that, despite claims to the contrary, Joe Biden didn’t individually approve every pardon or act of clemency done in his name. It was a damning report that raises even major questions about what was signed via autopen without his knowledge. So what did ABC News do? They tweeted out that Joe Biden personally made every clemency and pardon decision during the last weeks of his failed presidency, including the ones handled by autopen. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/07/15/media-runs-interference-as-biden-autopen-scandal-explodes-n4941766

REMINDER: The All-Star Game That Wasn’t: Stacey Abrams, MLB, and the $100 Million Strikeout By Charlton Allen Tonight, the 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be played at Truist Park in metro Atlanta. It’s a celebratory event—four years overdue—but few in the media or the commissioner’s office want to talk about what happened last time. In 2021, Commissioner Rob Manfred yanked this very event out of Georgia over a so-called voting rights controversy fueled by Stacey Abrams and her political machine. The justification? Georgia’s election law, Senate Bill 202, was labeled “Jim Crow 2.0.” The damage? Nearly $100 million in lost revenue for local businesses. Yet, this story started long before SB 202. The punchline? SB 202 is still the law—intact, enforced, and functional. Abrams’s group, Fair Fight Action, launched its high-profile legal crusade after her 2018 loss to Brian Kemp, claiming Georgia’s voting laws were racist and suppressive. Fair Fight selected Abrams’s campaign chair and close friend, Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, to serve as lead counsel, paying her firm over $20.2 million in legal fees over five years, according to a bombshell RealClearInvestigations exposé. In the end, U.S. District Judge Steve C. Jones, an Obama appointee, ruled in 2022 that Fair Fight had failed to produce direct evidence of a single disenfranchised voter—no constitutional violation, no breach of the Voting Rights Act, and no proof to back its sweeping claims. To top it off, the group was ordered to pay more than $200,000 in court costs and legal fees. {snip} Every successful pressure campaign needs a chokepoint—an institution that can be isolated, vilified, and forced to capitulate. In 2021, that chokepoint was Major League Baseball. President Biden fanned the flames, branding Georgia’s law “sick” and “un-American.” Manfred got the message. Civic courage was cut from the roster and designated for assignment. Under pressure from activists and media allies echoing Abrams’s talking points, Commissioner Rob Manfred took his bat and went home. “I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game,” he announced. Let’s be clear: MLB’s decision was driven by a narrative Abrams helped construct—anchored in a lawsuit that collapsed in court and a law that remains firmly on the books, still guiding Georgia elections. And yet the cost to Atlanta was steep. Estimates pegged the loss at upwards of $100 million in local economic impact—hitting hardest the Black-owned businesses and hospitality workers Abrams claims to represent. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/07/the_all_star_game_that_wasn_t_stacey_abrams_mlb_and_the_100_million_strikeout.html
