Rockies’ Jeff Bridich accepts blame, but will he pay for team’s poor showing?
Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich might have penned his own epitaph last week. Pressed to explain the club’s unpopular decision to trade star third baseman Nolan Arenado to the Cardinals, and pushed to explain the Rockies’ recent failures, Bridich said: “If you’re going to pass blame, you can blame me.

ADVERTISEMENT In particular, one criticism is that the guidance cautions schools about reopening if there is high transmission of the virus in the surrounding community. The CDC says middle and high schools should be fully virtual in areas of “high” transmission, which is currently over 90 percent of all U.S. … [Read more...] about New CDC guidance ends up deepening debate over reopening schools
Carlson: ‘Public Health Experts Are Scrambling to Avoid Humiliation’ of Pandemic-Response Failures
Friday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson took aim at various responses throughout government agencies that resulted in worsening the COVID-19 pandemic over the past several months. He started with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) initial reaction to the pandemic threat all the way through the contradictions of Biden health adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci. Transcript as follows: It was a year ago this week that Nancy Pelosi was walking the streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown without any concern whatsoever for her personal safety. Nancy Pelosi’s face was stark naked. She wasn’t wearing a mask, neither were the dozens of people who surrounded her. A local CBS affiliate was on the scene following all of it, but even the coronavirus was already spreading all over the world in places like France and South Korea and we now know here in the U.S., CBS didn’t suggest that anything was amiss.
