But even as the encomiums pile up for Welch, known as Neutron Jack in his younger days for vaporizing jobs while leaving buildings intact, it’s time to play my traditional role as skunk at the garden party. Welch is clearly very, very, very good.

That’s how much money Julio Rodriguez made per home run at the 2022 Home Run Derby. The AL Rookie of the Year frontrunner showed those outside of Seattle what they’re missing out on, raking 81 home runs, including 63 in the first two rounds, which netted him a runner-up finish to the Nationals’ Juan Soto. More pressingly, that runner-up finish granted Rodriguez a $750,000 payday. And although that may not be the million dollars Soto will receive as the winner, it’s still impactful for the 21-year-old rookie....

Grant was scheduled to die on Thursday for the 1998 killing of prison worker Gay Carter. Jones, convicted in the 1999 killing of businessman Paul Howell, had his execution set for November 18. But a three-member panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals halted both on Wednesday after a federal judge earlier this week ruled that their executions could go ahead.

There is Whitewater itself, and alleged cover-ups of the First Lady’s roles in firing the Travel Office and withholding her long-subpoenaed law-firm billing records. Then there is “the Asian connection,” allegations that the Democratic Party peddled White House access to Indonesian bankers and Taiwanese businessmen while inegally raising money connected to a Far Eastern cult and a Buddhist temple in California....
