Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Teoscar Hernández etched his name into Dodgers history as the first Dodger to claim the MLB Home Run Derby crown last night! The 31-year-old outfielder’s journey to victory was no walk in the park—more like a moonshot over the center-field wall. Hernández, once overlooked, lobbied his way into the derby lineup, and when the spotlight shone brightest, he delivered. With 49 homers across three rounds, totaling nearly 4 miles of baseball flight, he left no doubt: Dodger blue runs deep, and Hernández is the star of the show. As he stood on that Texas mound, Dino Ebel (the same coach who once threw to Vlad Guerrero Sr.) watched Hernández’s shoulders, feeding him pitches that became fireworks. And when the final blast clanked off the wall, Hernández’s grin said it all: “I’m here, and I’m as talented as all those guys over there.” The derby chain was placed around his neck as his family came to celebrate on the field with him. 🚀⚾️🏆
