Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC fame said during a recent television sit-down with a couple guests that calling the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a socialist was patently untrue -- that it was simply "opposition research" garbage from conservatives and Republicans and President Donald Trump's supporters and base. Come again?

Sens. Ted Cruz and Bill Cassidy introduced a resolution to formally label antifa a domestic terrorist organization and saying, in follow-up written remarks, that the group "must be stopped," that its members are fascists "protected by liberal privilege," and that it's high time elected officials stepped in and did something. Agreed.

Berkeley City Council member Rigel Robinson turned down an invitation to talk about the renaming of manholes as "maintenance holes" on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, calling the host a "white supremacist goblin" and a "racist" and a bunch of other stuff. It's always a good thing when crazy people denounce you.

What devastating news to read that Wesley Pruden passed away this week ("Washington Times editor, columnist Wesley Pruden dies at 83 after remarkable six-decade career," Web, July 18). Mr. Pruden may have been a "newspaperman," but he was also an extraordinary wordsmith. I read all of his columns beginning in 1982 and ending on Tuesday with his marvelous "The four noisy horseladies of the Apocalypse." There was never a Pruden column that didn't make me laugh, introduce me to a new word or explain an issue without politically weaponizing it!

There is a saying in the African-American community: "Don't start none, won't be none" ("The four noisy horseladies of the Apocalypse," Web, July 15). These four congresswomen — Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Pressley and Omar — have been accusing everyone of racism ever since they were sworn in, even calling Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi a racist.

Make no mistake: Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley are indeed anti-American, pro-Islamist cheerleaders of those who wish us and our allies death and destruction. Ms. Omar's televised gushing praise and pride in al Qaeda cannot be written off as anything but what it was: A show of hate to America, an undisguised wink of thanks to terrorists and spit in the eye of those lost on Sept 11, 2001.

I guess you could assume that more Yankee fans will show up this weekend because of the induction of Mike Mussina, though it's hard for me to think that Yankee fans have a special place in their hearts for the ace pitcher.

Describing his life at the beginning of "Layover," Joshua Fields says, "I didn't connect with people I passed on my travels. We transacted things. Business. Commerce. Money."

The country has been lied to yet again by the Trump-hating Democrats regarding what the president tweeted about the four congresswomen, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts (now known as "The Squad," or better yet "The Hit Squad Against Democracy").
