Peter,

Which rangy shortstop from Great Plains of the River led the majors in strikeouts in his first full season?

Hint: #1 He made the All-Star team every year he played at least 160 games.

Hint: #2 He completed one of baseball’s rarest and most delightful plays by stealing third and home on successive pitches.

Thursday’s question answered:

Q. Which one-time Colorado Rockies player began his major league career as a teenager, but in each of his first three full seasons, led the National League in stolen bases, all but the first of those, leading the majors?

Hint: #1 He leads the Mets franchise in career triples and stolen bases, both by outlandish margins.

Hint: #2 In recorded major league history, only he and Hall of Famer Tim Raines are switch-hitters with at least 100 triples, 100 home runs and 500 stolen bases.

A. JOSE REYES [B-R Bio]

– Ans. In 2005, 2006 & 2007, Reyes stole 60, 64 & 78 bases. He played for the Rockies the 2^nd half of 2015 before returning to the Mets for the final 3 seasons of his playing career. His debut game was the only one he spent in the majors as a teenager—he turned 20 the very next day.

– #1 Reyes leads the Mets’ [The New York Metropolitans] franchise in triples 113 to Mookie Wilson’s 2^nd-place 62. Wilson cedes the lead to Reyes by 45%, 408 to 281.

– #2 Reyes has 131 3B, 145 HR & 517 SB. Raines’s corresponding numbers are 113, 170 & 808 as shown here.

‘Clock Is Ticking’ for Iran: Trump; Israel-Lebanon Progress; ICE…

ADVERTORIAL

Final week at $0.91. Share Price Changes April 30.

Most investors never see companies at this exact stage: truly early, but already winning F-1000 traction.

By the time a business is landing recurring 7‑figure enterprise deals, doubling sales contracts year over year, and compounding meaningful revenue, it’s usually priced well beyond “early access.” That in‑between gap—the place where fundamentals are breaking out before valuation fully catches up—is exactly where RAD Intel sits right now.

This high-growth startup has delivered more than 5,400% valuation growth over the past five years. In 2025 alone, sales contracts have doubled, with multiple Fortune 1000 relationships already in place. These aren’t pilot programs or one-off campaigns. They’re recurring engagements that reflect how large organizations are shifting how they allocate marketing budgets.

Behind that traction is a model built for scale. RAD Intel operates as a decision layer across a $1T+ digital marketing economy, helping brands and agencies predict performance before campaigns launch. That approach changes how dollars are deployed, and it’s why enterprise demand continues to compound.

Investors have taken notice. More than $75M has been raised from 20,000+ participants, including backing from institutional funds and selection by the Adobe Design Fund. The investor base includes operators from Google, Meta, Amazon, and YouTube, bringing a level of credibility rarely seen at this stage.

Shares are currently available through an SEC-qualified Reg A+ offering at $0.91. That price reflects today’s access point, not where the business is trending as contracts scale and the model expands across its portfolio.

The round is now approximately 90% allocated. As remaining capacity fills, access closes. April 30 is the last day this share price is available.

Windows like this don’t stay open.

Invest now at $0.91/share

This is a paid advertisement for RAD Intel made pursuant to Regulation A+ offering and involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The valuation is set by the Company and there is currently no public market for the Company’s Common Stock. Nasdaq ticker “RADI” has been reserved by RAD Intel and any potential listing is subject to future regulatory approval and market conditions.

RFK Jr. Fields Sharp Questions

Read Online | April 24, 2026 | E-Paper | 🎧 Listen

“I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.”

— Abraham Lincoln

Cathy He
Politics Editor

Good morning, happy Friday! Here are today’s top stories:

Over several congressional hearings, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fielded sharp questions from lawmakers on a range of issues from vaccines to Medicaid. Here’s a look at the key takeaways.
President Donald Trump said the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will be extended for three weeks, after an Oval Office meeting with envoys of both governments, as well as his senior national security team.
A U.S. soldier involved in the mission to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has been charged with placing bets on Polymarket on the timing of the leader’s ouster. The bets netted the soldier $400,000 in winnings, prosecutors said.
The White House said China and other foreign adversaries are carrying out “industrial-scale campaigns” to extract advanced U.S. artificial intelligence technology.

7 Takeaways From RFK Jr.’s Appearances Before Congress

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared before seven congressional committees in recent days, taking questions—and criticism—from dozens of lawmakers.

Here are key exchanges from the sessions.

Budget Cuts Are Necessary

The White House has proposed a 12.5 percent cut to the budget of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), along with cuts to other agencies.

“All of those cuts are painful,” Kennedy said. “Nobody wants to do them.”

However, he said the cuts are necessary because of growing national debt.

While Democrats criticized the proposal, some Republicans, including Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), said they support it.

“Thank you for making necessary cuts where we agree that they are definitely needed,” Hyde-Smith said.

Mass terminations in 2025 brought HHS from about 82,000 employees down to around 62,000. Kennedy said there are now 72,000 employees and that the agency plans to hire about 12,000 more people.

Kennedy said the terminations did not result in any issues, and that they were warranted, citing the high rates of chronic disease in the population and the prevalence of unhealthy food in Americans’ diets.

“It was their job to protect us, and they did not do it. They failed at their job,” Kennedy said. “If this was private industry, they would have all been fired. We did what we had to do to change the culture at these agencies.”

Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said he disagreed with the firings.

“Essentially, most of us believe they were fired to reach a number, a lesser number,” he said.

Will Medicaid Be Cut?

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, passed by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump in 2025, included tightening requirements for Medicaid, which provides health insurance to 83 million low-income people in the United States, according to health policy organization KFF.

As a result of the act, “the Republicans are going to cut Medicaid by $1 trillion over the next decade,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) said.

Other Democrats also decried the cuts.

Kennedy, though, said spending on Medicaid will actually continue growing in the coming years.

“We’re not cutting Medicaid,” he said. (More)

IRAN WAR

Trump said he believes the Iranian regime is effectively without a leaderand is experiencing infighting between two factions because the U.S. military has “total control” of the Strait of Hormuz. The president also authorized U.S. forces to “shoot and kill” Iranian boats placing mines in the strait.
Iran is nearing forced oil production stoppages as storage tanks fill rapidly, with capacity set to be exhausted within 20 to 24 days, according to a commodities data firm.
Sweden may need to consider options to reduce energy consumption, including rationing, if the flow of fuel supplies remains disrupted as a result of the Iran war, the prime minister said.
U.N. officials have warned that shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz threaten one-third of the global fertilizer trade at a critical moment for spring planting in many regions. This could trigger a broader food crisis if shipments aren’t resumed quickly, they said.

POLITICS

The Trump administration has reclassified state-licensed medical marijuana as a less dangerous drug under federal law. State-regulated medical marijuana products will be moved from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug. The move is expected to ease barriers to research and will let operators access tax breaks.
The Federal Housing Administration has joined with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to implement new mortgage credit scoring models aimed at making homebuying more affordable for Americans.
Pharma company Regeneron became the latest firm to lower drug prices in a deal with the Trump administration. It also announced it would offer a new gene therapy that reverses genetic hearing loss in children for free in the United States.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani are proposing a tax on luxury second homes to cover the city’s $5.4 billion budget gap. Here’s what to know about the proposed tax.
The internal watchdog for the Department of Justice has said it will review the department’s compliance with a law that required the DOJ to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Chickpeas: A Nutrient-Dense Food That Feeds Gut Bacteria and Improves Digestive Function

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, have been a staple in cuisines around the world for thousands of years, from Middle Eastern hummus to Indian chana masala to Mediterranean salads. Today, they’ve become a global go-to source of plant-based protein.

Describing them merely as a protein source, however, misses the mark.

“What sets chickpeas apart from other legumes isn’t any single nutrient; it’s the combination,” Kara Brown, a recipe developer, told The Epoch Times.

Chickpeas deliver a variety of nutrients, supporting blood sugar control, weight management, and gut health.

A 2016 review published in Nutrients found that those who ate chickpeas and chickpea-based foods such as hummus tended to have higher overall diet quality than nonconsumers.

Fiber: A one-cup serving of cooked chickpeas contains 12.5 grams of dietary fiber, a combination of soluble and insoluble fibers.

Protein: They provide about 11 grams of plant-based protein. In fact, around 20 percent of a dried chickpea’s weight is protein.

Folate: Chickpeas are a strong source of folate, delivering nearly 71 percent of the daily value per cup. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis and cellular function and is especially important during periods of rapid growth, such as pregnancy.

Iron: Chickpeas are markedly high in iron, providing about 26 percent of the daily value per cup. While plant-based iron is less readily absorbed than the iron found in animal products, it’s a solid contribution, particularly for those eating a plant-based diet. (More)
