How can USATF be so lame about promoting track and field -- the most prominent sport in Olympic history -- while a party game has a youth competition on national television? @USTrackFieldFDN @usatf @RGIII #savetrack

Got to fly in a Spitfire over the English countryside while writing this one. Even did a victory roll. #Churchill, the #battleofbritain and the fate of the free world makes for some epic, fast-paced history. Pick up your copy wherever books are sold.

America is about speaking your mind. So thanks for the backhanded compliment.
@BillOReilly I jusfinished reading yours and @martinjdugard’s Confronting the Presidents. Grade “A.” Stunning in its efficiency and research. Truly an American classic that should be a starting point for anyone interested in our government and the men who led it from the start. Good job. However, the afterword was a crushing disappointment. Bill, it’s time to move on from Dugard. He can’t be trusted. His judgement, especially concerning Trump and Biden, is completely inverted from reality. PS - I am a loyal subscriber and I enjoy and look forward to your regular comments, analysis and insight. Keep up the great work!

It's worth a discussion. On any given weekend, a cross country invitational attracts thousands of spectators -- as many or more than a football game. So your point about attendance is worth a response. So while cross does not have the media appeal as football, it's still worth wondering why a sport with as many spectators doesn't get more than a cursory level of coverage.

@MDHS_XCTrack @CoachJTAyers I've got an emergency spare if you need one. No coach should be without their favorite stopwatch.

HMS Prince of Wales was sunk on this date in 1941. This marks the date when aircraft carriers forever replaced battleships as a navy's most powerful weapon. Read all about it in my upcoming book, Taking Midway. #midway
