The Bill of Rights to the Constitution applies to every person in every state. That includes the Second Amendment “right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Which is why we commend the  Supreme Court for upholding the right to “concealed carry” — carrying a gun outside the home — in the case New…

As the Miami Heat prepare for Thursday’s 6 p.m. start of the NBA’s free-agency negotiation period, a priority for the team apparently remains avoiding having to work under a hard salary cap on total payroll for the 2022-23 season. With an eye on possible trade – potentially a blockbuster trade – either this offseason or…

Now abortion law is up to states. Some will ban it, while most blue states will allow it in some form. Because libertarians want government out of our lives, people assume we are pro-choice. Some of us are. But like the rest of America, there are principled libertarians on both sides. We freedom-lovers believe women…

The unforgiving Astros continued their tour of New York City. After they split a four-game series in the Bronx over the weekend, they stepped on the Amazin’s necks in Flushing on Tuesday night. The Mets were shellacked, 9-1, by the Astros in front of 36,673 at Citi Field. President Barack Obama was still roaming the…

Let’s start with the premise that taxation is largely arbitrary. Despite efforts to frame tax policy in moral or at least philosophical terms, what or who is taxed and the form and level of that taxation merely reflect current political priorities. Take, for example, South Lake Tahoe, a small city that sits on California’s border…

DENVER — As Tyler Anderson packed a bag in front of his locker in the visitor’s clubhouse at Truist Park on Sunday afternoon – the next day’s starting pitcher frequently flies ahead of the team when changing cities – Clayton Kershaw did the same in front of his locker.

Tony Siragusa, the wisecracking wall of flesh known as “Goose” who anchored the middle of a record-setting Ravens defense during the team’s first Super Bowl run, died Wednesday, a team spokesman said. He was 55. The cause of death was not immediately known. The New Jersey native was an undrafted free agent who began his…

The death of Ravens outside linebacker Jaylon Ferguson is different because he played in Baltimore.

Q: Is Erik Spoelstra’s system so precise that it can’t work without P.J. Tucker? Bam Adebayo I can understand, but Tuck? – Carl. A: I would put it this way: The defensive system that the Heat ran last season was precisely what suited P.J. Tucker’s skill set. So, yes, in that system, P.J. was essential.…

It’s still strange to Jorge López, leaving the clubhouse and climbing the dugout steps onto the field before the seventh inning, then walking through the outfield to the bullpen. In an earlier life, López would’ve been out there already. He might’ve already taken the mound in relief of a starter. That’s changed for the Orioles…
