@JonnyRoot_ I say it about my daughter - does not play like a white girl. She's a slasher with excellent twitch. If you are offended you don't understand basketball realities. Whites and blacks often compliment each other well because of the difference in style.

LeBron says teammate Austin Reaves doesn’t “play like a white boy” 1. What does that even mean? 2. Imagine if a white guy said this about a black guy. Media would have a meltdown. 3. How does Steve Nash sit there & listen to this nonsense?

I once attributed black superiority in basketball to genetics. While that plays a role, I now realize it's development and culture. Travel leagues in USA and Euro systems of development changed everything.

@CoachDanGo My kids all have a different percentage attached to them, given their range in intelligence and talents. But I feel ya.

There is a 99% chance my kids will not go to college. If they want to go, then cool. But I don't see the point in going to college or any form of traditional schooling, given where the world is headed.

@Cernovich My friend has had his life turned upside down by a tick. He has to get injections in his heart, brain, etc. It's unbelievably sad. They have to do more control burns to get it under control.

People who never even hike have all of these “retreat to nature” fantasies. Then they see one tick bite can change your life, one bad fall, you are plowing your own snow in winter. Unless you can afford a huge staff to do everything. Even then, it’s isolating.

@amuse he was gathering it. Not a travel.

SPORTSBALL: Did they change the traveling rules in basketball? This feels a lot like WWE.

Num país dominado por criminosos e corruptos, é esse o preço que se paga por ser bom e honesto.

America is allowing Jair Bolsonaro to die. He’s a political prisoner. The Trump administration lifted tariffs on Brazil without demanding Bolsonaro’s release. Bolsonaro is a clear cut example of what Democrats wanted to do to Donald Trump. We cannot allow this.

Miami (OH) brought out the speedos to distract the free throw shooter It’s a home game in Dayton

I treat my 'great business ideas' with contempt. All I see is time and risk. If it circles back in my mind, I get nervous. Am I going to fall for my own bullshit again?

Dear Friends, Followers and Subscribers, our dear Americans, Seeing as one and all are reminiscing about Charlie Kirk today in light of the Iran war, I thought I would make something that happened crystal clear. Minds are for changing, and when the facts change we change our minds. We had dinner with Charlie Kirk in London last May 2025, and when Charlie I walked privately after dinner in Hyde Park, Charlie told me then that in his view Bibi Netanyahu was a psychopath and that the actions taken by his government in Gaza were psychopathic. We already knew that, so it was no shock to me, but it was good to see that his evaluation and capacity to observe the obvious was present and sane. Charlie had completely changed his mind and his position on Israel from when I first met him in Dec 2018, and in May 2025 he did not support their actions in Gaza or many of the actions of their government, particularly their growing destructive influence in America. Previously he had been one of Israel’s biggest champions, so this was indeed a complete change. We had witnessed his support of Israel previously as we had visited Israel with him in spring 2019 when he had held almost completely the opposite view. Charlie was also totally against any military engagement with Iran by America. And he told me in London that he had written a few days previously to Israeli leadership to express his disappointment. Erika, Charlie’s wife, shortly afterward on June 17th and 18th, communicated to us that she suported Charlie completely concerning his view of the insanity of involving the US in a war with Iran and the importance his attempts to achieve a peaceful resolution. And she communicated that directly to us in writing. She also, and most importantly, indicated that she did not agree with how biblical scripture was being used and was being twisted by pastors and politicians to justify their support of military action. This discussion is historically important in the light of discussions about dispensationalism* (see definition below) and how the Bible is being interpreted today by many politicians and military leaders to justify the current war. She stated very clearly that “the pastors” in Charlie’s orbit were “hungry for war.” That was her worry at that time, and Erika was VERY disturbed by it. Charlie was not alone in his views. Many feel the same way today. The elderly in America and the boomer generation seem to be somewhat unconscious on the subject of harmful Israeli government action and how it affects the entire future of America and the world. Charlie’s view was that most of the youth of today will never forgive Israel for the needless slaughter of innocent children in Gaza, and he suspected that they would not forgive Trump for a future war with Iran either. Charlie did his best to warn President Trump about this and what voters and the Trump base were telling him on June 18 last year. He did this knowingly at great personal risk to his personal relationship and friendship with the President. Today, the youth of the world and young voters in America, on the whole, have recognised that Trump’s actions in Iran are insane and that they have been encouraged by psychopaths. I personally believe that there is a possibility that Charlie was executed for his efforts to prevent the Iran war. This is my opinion. This matter and Charlie’s execution should be completely investigated. If an American citizen was executed by a foreign power for expressing their opinion, then we should be aware of that. I am not alone in that thought either. Charlie was one of my best friends; we communicated directly (often daily) since April 2018. We achieved a tremendous amount together. I have strong reason to believe that there is a possibility that he has been betrayed by several of those around him. @RealCandaceO @CarriePrejean1 @TuckerCarlson @BretWeinstein @piersmorgan @IanCarrollShow

Kent listed Israel and the Iran war as his reasons to step down but you know it was Trumps endorsement of Mark Levin that was a bridge too far. Every man has his limits.

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

1. Live in an area where you can safely pump gas. 2. My wife pumps gas. I do more, maybe like 60/40, but do dudes really not let their wives pump gas? I’m calling BS.
