Neither are babies in the womb. If they don’t respect life in the womb, they won’t respect life outside the womb. The culmination of baby killing is genocide.

Something good is happening at this World Cup. The Scots turned up. The English turned up. The Norwegians turned up. They sang their songs, got stuck in, and the Americans loved them for it. Glasgow and Boston are getting twinned off the back of it. For 30 years we’ve been told to view the US as some sort of Great Satan — all imperialism and orange-man clichés. Not everyone buys it of course, but enough do. And then Europeans actually go, and find a place that feels familiar. Makes sense to them. A bit richer, a bit further ahead, but recognisably ours. Settled by Europeans, still deeply European in its bones. There’s a gathering-of-the-clans feeling to it. Old neighbours discovering they still like the same songs, the same drink, the same daft humour, and genuinely enjoying each other’s company. None of it’s a surprise, really. It’s just been buried under so much politics that we forgot we were allowed to enjoy it. Good to be reminded.

God bless you, Matt.

@FoxNews What’s with the “Middle America” comment…? No Waffle House or fast food in NYC/LA? Also… Buc-ee’s is a national treasure

World Cup tourists fall in love with middle America — raving about Waffle House at 1 a.m., Buc-ee's gas stations, and strangers driving them to stadiums in the rain. Oxford Economics expects 1.24 million international visitors for the tournament, and their viral posts are showcasing a side of the country most foreign media never covers.

“What exactly is your ‘fair share’ of what someone else has worked for?” - Thomas Sowell

Cute theory, let's play it out. A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last. But... oh wait, there is no pile. It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded. The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it. Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0. The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession. But it gets worse. Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all. Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees. So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked. So the monkeys sit there. No bananas. No rockets. No coordinates to get more banananas. Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer. OH And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

IT'S GAME DAY... Fever fans. 🏀🥳 FEVER GAME DAY PREVIEW: This Is Bigger Than One Game It is game day for the Indiana Fever. And today feels different. Not because one regular-season game should define an entire season. Not because one result will fix every concern. Not because Caitlin Clark has to save the league, the franchise, the coaching staff, the locker room, and the fan base in forty minutes of basketball. She does not. But sometimes a game becomes bigger than the box score. Sometimes a team reaches a point where fans are no longer watching only to see whether it wins or loses. They are watching to see whether it heard them. That is where the Fever are right now. After a week of criticism, frustration, scrutiny, debate, and growing concern about Caitlin Clark’s usage, treatment, protection, leadership role, and support system, this game has become a referendum on direction. The Fever do not need to be perfect today. They need to look different. They need to look like a team that understands the moment. They need to look like an organization that knows exactly who its franchise player is and what she represents. Because winning matters. Of course it does. The Fever need wins. They need confidence. They need rhythm. They need to protect their playoff chances. They need to stop letting winnable games turn into public autopsies. But today is about more than winning. Today is about evidence. Evidence that the coaching staff has made adjustments. Evidence that Caitlin Clark is trusted to lead the offense. Evidence that her teammates understand who drives this engine. Evidence that Coach Stephanie White is willing to defend her superstar publicly and strategically. Evidence that the Fever are done treating Caitlin like both the face of the franchise and the easiest person to leave standing alone. So here are the real keys to the game. Not the usual pregame checklist. Not shooting percentages. Not injury reports. Not rebounding margins. Those matter, but they are not the story today. The story today is whether the Fever finally start acting like the organization Caitlin Clark’s arrival requires them to become. Key No. 1: Coach White has to defend her superstar This is where it starts. A coach does not have to coddle her best player. A coach does not have to excuse mistakes. A coach does not have to turn every whistle into a sideline performance. But a coach does have to lead. And leadership means defending your players when the moment demands it. Caitlin Clark has absorbed more physicality, scrutiny, resentment, and national pressure than any young player in women’s basketball history. Too often, she has been left to answer for everything while the people around her sound cautious, neutral, or strangely reluctant to say the obvious. That has to change. If Caitlin is hit, held, grabbed, bumped, or put in foul trouble on questionable calls, Coach White has to fight for her. Use the challenge. Work the officials. Make the standard clear. Show the team that protecting Caitlin is not favoritism. It is leadership. Because players follow what coaches model. If the coach treats Caitlin like someone who must absorb everything silently, the team will too. If the coach treats Caitlin like the franchise player she is, the locker room will feel that as well. Today, the Fever need to see that from their head coach. So do the fans. Key No. 2: Hand Caitlin Clark the keys This one should not be complicated. Caitlin Clark is not a corner ornament. She is not a decoy. She is not a player you hide off the ball for long stretches while the offense searches for rhythm without its most dangerous creator. She is the engine. Hand her the keys. Let her run the offense. Let her create pace. Let her manipulate defenses. Let her throw the pass before the pass. Let her force rotations. Let her bend the floor with her gravity. Let her make everyone else better. That does not mean Caitlin takes every shot. It does not mean she plays reckless basketball. It does not mean she is above coaching or accountability. It means the Fever have to stop making the game harder than it has to be. When the best passer in women’s basketball is standing on an island in the corner, that is not balance. That is misuse. Today, the offense has to look like it knows who Caitlin Clark is. Not as a celebrity. As a basketball player. Key No. 3: Stop killing rhythm with rigid rotations The Fever cannot keep playing like the substitution chart matters more than the game. Basketball has feel. Runs matter. Momentum matters. Confidence matters. Flow matters. You cannot pull stars out of a hot stretch, empty the bench too early, and then act surprised when the team looks disconnected. That does not mean shortening the rotation to five players. It means coaching the game in front of you. If a lineup is working, let it breathe. If Caitlin and Aliyah Boston are building rhythm, let it grow. If Sophie Cunningham gives the team edge, use it. If a group is defending, communicating, and playing with purpose, do not interrupt it just because a predetermined minute mark arrived. This is not elementary basketball. This is professional basketball. The Fever have to coach like it. Key No. 4: Give this team a real identity Right now, too many possessions feel like Indiana is still negotiating with itself. Are they a Caitlin-led pace-and-space team? Are they an Aliyah Boston interior team? Are they a defensive grind team? Are they a random-possession team hoping talent bails them out late? The Fever need an identity. And the identity should not be difficult to define. Caitlin Clark should initiate the pressure. Aliyah Boston should be featured as a stabilizing force. Sophie Cunningham should bring edge and accountability. The spacing should make sense. The ball should move with purpose. The offense should make the defense choose. The team should look like it knows what it is trying to become. Fans can live with missed shots. They can live with mistakes. They can live with growing pains. What they cannot keep watching is confusion. Today, the Fever need to show structure. Key No. 5: Protect Caitlin without making her smaller There is a difference between protecting a star and babying one. Caitlin Clark does not need to be handled like fragile glass. She is a competitor. She wants pressure. She wants big moments. She wants responsibility. But she also deserves a professional environment that does not ask her to carry the business while absorbing the punishment alone. Protecting Caitlin means using her correctly. Protecting Caitlin means challenging bad calls. Protecting Caitlin means designing an offense that maximizes her gifts instead of neutralizing them. Protecting Caitlin means teammates having her back. Protecting Caitlin means the coach setting the tone. Protecting Caitlin means the organization understanding that the player who changed its relevance should not look isolated inside the very franchise benefiting from her presence. That is not weakness. That is smart sports management. Every serious league understands this. Every serious franchise understands this. Greatness has to be developed, challenged, and protected. All three can be true at once. Key No. 6: Win the fans back with visible change There are fans on the fence right now. Not because they stopped loving Caitlin. Not because they suddenly stopped caring about basketball. But because they are tired. Tired of watching the same problems. Tired of seeing Caitlin blamed for team-wide issues. Tired of the no-calls. Tired of the forced narratives. Tired of the offense losing its shape. Tired of the organization sounding passive when fans want conviction. That is what makes this game important. A win would help. A win would quiet some noise. A win would improve the record, confidence, and playoff picture. But a win alone will not solve the deeper concern if nothing looks different. Winning solves a lot. Change solves more. The Fever need both. They need the result, but they also need the evidence. Evidence that the break was used wisely. Evidence that the criticism was heard. Evidence that Caitlin is being trusted. Evidence that Coach White is adjusting. Evidence that the organization understands this moment cannot be handled with ordinary thinking. Because this is not an ordinary season. This is not an ordinary player. This is not an ordinary fan base. Caitlin Clark has brought the Fever and the WNBA the kind of attention leagues dream about for decades. But attention is not the same thing as trust. Trust has to be earned. And today is a chance to start earning some of it back. The bottom line This game matters. Not because everything will be decided tonight. It will not. But because tonight can show whether the Fever are ready to move forward or determined to keep repeating the same mistakes. A win with visible change could steady the season. A competitive loss with visible change could still show progress. But a loss with no visible change? That would feel different. That would feel like confirmation. Confirmation that the same issues remain. Confirmation that Caitlin Clark is still being asked to carry the weight without being handed the keys. Confirmation that the Fever heard the noise but did not understand the message. So yes, it is game day. And game day should be exciting. That is the beauty of sports. The ball goes up. The noise fades. The answers come in real time. Today, the Fever do not need to tell fans they have each other’s backs. They need to show it. They do not need to explain Caitlin Clark’s role. They need to define it. They do not need to talk about growth. They need to look like it. Hand Caitlin Clark the keys. Let her cook. Protect her. Trust her. Build around her. And show the fans that the Indiana Fever are finally ready to become the team this moment demands.

CC was more than ready for the wnba, the wnba is not ready for her and the dynamic changes she brings. I’ve never watched a single wnba game, then in 2024 i TOOK my granddaughter to go see CC play. As a young basketball player, I wanted her to see greatness, to see potential.

I took my granddaughter for her first year of basketball to go see Caitlin Clark play. Not sure I would take her this year.

@peterstopcrime Regardless of outcome, he won’t do it again. You may have saved future women from being assaulted. If this had gone unchecked, who knows where he may have ended up. You were right and your husband is wrong.

Anonymous: Anonymous: This week, I was at a water park with my family when a teenager untied the top of my bikini from behind, as a "prank." I turned around and slapped him hard. I'm 32 years old. I was in the shallow pool with my daughter, trying to teach her how to swim, when I suddenly felt someone yank sharply on the strings of my swimsuit. Before I could even understand what was happening, the fabric came loose. I turned around and saw this boy, about 16 or 17 years old, standing there. He had a disgusting smirk on his face, holding the strings of my bikini in his hand, and laughing with his buddies like he'd just pulled off the prank of the year. I didn't even think. My hand hit his cheek before my brain could catch up. It was a really hard slap. His smirk vanished instantly. He stumbled back, both hands on his face, while his friends went dead silent. And then the yelling started. His parents appeared out of nowhere. His mother started screaming that I'd "assaulted a child." His father threatened to call the police. He called me a "hysterical woman" and said I had no right to hit a minor. The security guards and lifeguards rushed over. The boy's parents demanded I be arrested for assault and battery. They said they were going to press charges and called me a "violent woman" who had "no right" to touch their son. I told them to check the surveillance cameras. The angle that shows how he grabbed the top of my swimsuit. They should go question the witnesses: my husband, Julien, saw it; another mother saw it too. I told the parents clearly: if they wanted to press charges against me for the slap, I'd press charges against their son for sexual harassment. For stripping me in front of my daughter and complete strangers, and for touching me without my consent. We were all asked to leave the pool. I was sitting in the car, shaking and humiliated, clutching my top tightly closed against me, while my husband drove home in silence. Then he finally said: "Did you really have to hit him that hard? He's just a kid. You probably could've just yelled. Now we might end up with charges against us." Just a kid. A kid who thought it was funny to half-strip a woman in public. A kid whose parents have clearly taught him that a woman's body is a playground for "stupid jokes." Am I wrong for reacting with my hands instead of words when a stranger yanked on my clothes to expose me? And for refusing to apologize for defending my dignity in front of my daughter?

@TheEXECUTlONER_ I have a friend that was in a similar situation. Even after a police investigation that cleared him, he still has a mark on his work record. That shouldn’t be.

This teacher was in her 28th year of teaching. One day she took a Monster drink away from a female student because they are not allowed to have those in class. That same female student later on accused the teacher of inappropriately touching her. The teacher was put on administrative leave because of that Title 6 complaint. The female student’s mother, who works in the central office, dropped the complaint. Fortunately, there are cameras in the classroom. The day of the supposed incident, the teacher wasn’t even working that day because of her mother’s recent death. The cameras found no evidence of inappropriateness. But here is the kicker. Besides removing that student from this teacher’s classroom, nothing happened to her. No suspension, no expulsion, no punishment, no consequences whatsoever. Nothing was done and that is what the problem is in this day and age. No consequences for children. That student should have received a suspension at the very least. I would even go so far to say she should have been expelled from that school. Even with the truth coming out, sometimes the damage is already done. What would you have done if you were this teacher? Can’t sue the child, sue the parents maybe? What are her options?

Dear Senator Hawley, You have betrayed us…… We thought for sure you were going to help us drain the swamp and carry out the mandates we brought forth when electing Trump. On Memorial Day 2026, while the rest of America paused to honor the fallen who died defending our freedoms, you chose to gavel in a meaningless pro forma Senate session and then gavel it right back out. A 30 second ritual that accomplished exactly nothing except one thing: deliberately blocking President Trump from making a single recess appointment. You personally stood in the way of the American people’s mandate. We voted. We won. We gave President Trump the White House, we gave Republicans the Senate, and we sent a clear message……drain the swamp, confirm the loyalists, and move at warp speed to repair what the last four years destroyed. Instead, you and the rest of the Senate club decided the dusty old rulebook matters more than the will of the voters who handed you the majority. By keeping the Senate “technically in session” through sham pro forma meetings, you stripped the President of a constitutional tool specifically designed to bypass obstruction like this. Do you understand what that means, Senator? It means qualified America First nominees, judges, ambassadors, agency heads, and military leaders remain stuck in limbo while the same entrenched bureaucrats who sabotaged Trump the first time continue holding power. It means the deep state gets more time to resist, delay, leak, obstruct, and laugh at the voters who believed change was finally coming. It means Americans are once again being told their landslide victory was meaningless because the Senate has “traditions.” You ran on fighting the swamp. You wrote books about it. You raised your fist outside the Capitol with the rest of us. Now you’re the one holding the gavel that keeps the swamp alive. We are not disappointed, Senator Hawley. We are furious. You didn’t have to take that presiding slot. You didn’t have to participate in the ritual protecting the establishment from the very change Americans demanded. But you did. Every day those positions remain unfilled is another day the agenda Americans voted for is delayed. This is not “procedure.” This is betrayal dressed up in a suit and tie. The swamp does not drain itself. It requires leaders willing to confront a broken system instead of protecting it under the banner of “tradition.” Right now, you are choosing the institution over the people who elected you. We expected better from you. We still want to believe you are not just another suit who talks tough on Fox News and then folds the moment Senate leadership whispers “tradition.” Prove us wrong. Demand these pro forma charades end immediately. Demand recess appointments be allowed so President Trump can govern at the speed this moment requires. Stand in that chamber and publicly call out the hypocrisy. Because if you don’t, the answer to the question “What did Josh Hawley do on Memorial Day 2026?” will be simple: He helped keep the swamp alive. We’re watching. We’re angry. And we will remember. Sincerely, We the Disappointed, Disgusted, and Determined Trump Voters The American Majority You Were Elected to Serve

You all still don’t get it. Sure, Trump’s endorsement matters but this is much more than that. The Republican voter is fed up. They keep electing majorities that do nothing. For examples, 85% of the country wants some form of voter ID and they can’t even pass that. And the country wants secure borders. And less crime. And less regulation. Etc. This isn’t rocket science. You all act like Trump just sets an agenda and that’s that. And you couldn’t be more wrong. Trump ran on an agenda that the country wants. Remove Trump and whoever advocates that same agenda will take his place. This is where the Republican Party lost its way. Ultimately, you still must do what your voters want. Anyone thinking that when Trump leaves office that the Republican Party of Bush, McConnell, McCain, Ryan, et al will return is completely delusional. That you brand yourself as a pollster and political analyst and still can’t grasp this is incredible.

@mattvanswol Bc we pay them to. All the NGOs stealing taxpayer money. We are funding our own demise.

Can someone help me understand how these Leftists have INFINITE AMOUNTS OF TIME on their hands to protest?! I barely have time to go to the grocery store after work. How do they have ALL DAY to go out and protest for illegal immigrant criminals?!!!!

@SoveyX Bringing out the softer, more lovable side of communism. I’m sure it will work this time.

I've had some free time over the weekend, so I decided to start my own country. It's called North North Korea. It's like totally different than that country because I'm leading it and I will get communism right this time. Pinky swear. A few things "we" believe in: - Citizens will be free to pursue any career they want, including Flag Waver, State Poet, Approved Farmer, and Guy Who Looks The Other Way. - Food shortages will be rebranded as intermittent fasting, proving once again that North North Korea is ahead of Western wellness trends. - Free speech is allowed, as long as it is supportive, pre-approved, and convenient for the regime. - X posts that offend the regime will simply be sent to a farm upstate where they can heal. - The economy will be powered by female intuition and confiscated Bitcoin from men with anime profile pictures. - Citizens will be required to clap whenever my name is mentioned, but only for 45 seconds, because I respect work-life balance. - Poverty has been abolished by making it illegal to describe yourself as poor without first thanking the government for the character development. - Citizens may own private property, but only emotionally. Physically, it belongs to the people, and by "the people," I mean me. - Our national bird is the surveillance drone, because it sees everything and minds its business beautifully. - Every household will display my official portrait, but in a softer, gentler way that feels more like decor than psychological control. - Everyone will receive equal housing, except me, because leadership is stressful and I require a palace for nervous system regulation. - We reject oppressive state propaganda. We prefer mandatory inspirational content. We got this. And by "we" I mean me. I got this.
