After being taken off the official program after 2008, both sports made a comeback for the 2021 Summer Olympics — played in 2021 thanks to a global pandemic. That marked the first time in 13 years anyone was awarded gold medals for their dominance on the diamond.

Everybody hates us. Everyone is leaving. Go anywhere else but Minneapolis.’”

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected. Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.
