🇳🇴 The unforgettable moment captain Martin Ødegaard leads the Viking Row! 🚣‍♂️🥁 Norway have marched into the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup and answered with pure warrior energy — drums thundering, oars slicing the water! ❤️ This is what football dreams are made of!

Imagine you’re on your morning commute in NYC and you meet the Viking Row head on

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

@iamjamin So true.

@epappa Erling Haaland is a monster , I just like watching him destroy any defensive lines . Very fast for his size . Great players indeed !!

I’ve set up camp at the a local pub for the World Cup game. Norway’s up 1-0 and life is grand! Hei, Norge! 🇳🇴

Israel got the war. America got the bill. The U.S. fired more than 200 THAAD interceptors defending Israel during Operation Epic Fury. That's roughly half of the Pentagon's entire inventory of that system. We also fired more than 100 SM-3 and SM-6 interceptors from Navy ships in the eastern Mediterranean. Israel fired fewer than 100 Arrow interceptors and about 90 David's Sling interceptors. One U.S. government official told the Washington Post that America fired roughly 120 more interceptors than Israel did and engaged twice as many Iranian missiles. Each THAAD round costs $13 million. Lockheed Martin makes 96 of them a year. Replacements won't arrive until 2028 at the earliest. Now here's the part that should make you stop. Israel's defense budget is roughly $44 billion. That sounds like they're pulling their weight. What that number doesn't tell you is that the United States provided nearly $18 billion in military aid to Israel in a single fiscal year. Much of what Israel "spent" on this war was bought with American money, on American weapons systems, made by American defense contractors. We funded their military. We burned through our missiles defending them. And now Congress is writing a $10.6 billion check to replace what the war consumed. And while you were watching the war, Congress quietly passed Section 224 out of committee. It now goes to the full house. It would permanently merge U.S. and Israeli defense research, production, and procurement into a single structure, permanently, buried in the must-pass NDAA, shielded from the annual vote that currently gives Congress any leverage at all. Israel got the war they lobbied for. America got the bill. And Congress is making sure we keep paying it forever. That's not where I want my tax money going. How about you?

@DeniseHenwood @jersiegel Awesomeness! 🇳🇴

Norway fans are doing a “Viking Row” up the escalator at Boston’s South Station before heading to the World Cup Adding this to the list of things I’ve never seen before and probably never will again

Well you guys Trump did it. The middle east is safer and oil companies got rich :,) It only cost your family 2000 on average.. Do we all feel better now that the middle east is safer for 60 days? Did we win?

BREAKING: UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland reserved its prestigious CHAMPS healthcare internship exclusively for minority students — locking out qualified non-minority applicants based on race. This week, that ended in a settlement, opening the program to everyone.

Newsom's using taxpayer dollars to demand emails, text messages, Signal messages, etc, from the DOJ *in a criminal investigation into him personally* But says his own *professional* communications regarding the Palisades Fire are exempt from public records laws.

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.

Trump is seeing in real time why it was historically stupid to turn on his lost loyal supporters and sacrifice his domestic agenda to go into business with Benjamin Netanyahu and his army of unregistered Israel First foreign agents.

The timeline is filled to the brim with 95-IQ midwits saying things like "it's crazy that poverty still exists and we have a trillionaire" Oblivious to the fact 'The War on Poverty' started 62 years ago, the welfare state is exponentially larger, and poverty is unchanged.

🇺🇸 LinkedIn CEO Dan Shapero plans to fire 540 Americans on July 13, 2026. He filed for 615 H-1B visa hires in Q2 2026. Dan was appointed CEO in April. He is already executing a clear strategy to replace American workers. $CUTOFFS

Vivek Ramaswamy said we were lazy and grew up watching ‘Saved By The Bell’ and that’s why we didn’t open businesses. Turns out his people were getting special racial minority loans that others couldn’t access, and it had nothing to do with their alleged superior work values.

Apple paid $25 million to make this quietly disappear. The DOJ found Apple ran a separate, worse hiring process for green-card roles, one designed so US workers wouldn’t find or apply for the jobs. Paper ads instead of its own website. Mailed applications in 2023. Postings kept off the systems every other Apple role lives on. The result: the largest recovery ever by DOJ’s Immigrant and Employee Rights section.  $6.75 million in penalties. $18.25 million in back pay to the US workers who got shut out.  This is one of the most valuable companies on earth. It didn’t do this to save money. It did it because the system let it. Apple settled. It didn’t admit fault. The $25 million speaks for itself.

@243_cal @TheNotoriousMMA @TheMandyGall So true, same thing in the US. In the 90's, a horde of Somalis shot up an Army Ranger unit. So the libs imported 100k of them to Minnesota. wtf 🤦🏻‍♂️

Atrocities must have consequences. 🇳🇴 Norway has joined a new sanctions package targeting extremist settlers responsible for violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. regjeringen.no/en/whats-new/j…

California is prosecuting people for talking — specifically, for talking about mental health without a psychology license. We’re suing to stop the state from using an undefined licensing law to silence speech it hasn't authorized.
