SOUTH BEND, INDIANA (July 15, 2019) — The Quad Cities River Bandits scored five runs in the fourth inning to grab the lead and then held off the South Bend Cubs late in a 6-4 win on Sunday afternoon at Four Winds Field. Ramiro Rodriguez and Freudis Nova each pounded three hits, including an RBI double, to lead the Bandits offense.

It's hard to believe we need to have this conversation in this day and age. But if we don't keep having it, at some point we might not be allowed to have it. Question: What is free speech? Or, rather what is NOT free speech?

Q: How serious is the crisis at the southern border?

A: Illegal border-crossings are at the highest level in recent history. This fiscal year, immigration officials are on track to apprehend more than one million migrants crossing illegally into the country — more than double the volume of previous years. In May, more than 144,000 migrants were apprehended at the southern border.
