Politics | Royals | Braves Baseball. In a world of hypocritical stupidity, have some common sense. P.S. @jk_rowling is right. Not all change is “progressive.”

@bonchieredstate It’s not wild when you realize their common goal as a party is to destroy everything that makes the West the West. They don’t want these monuments. They want everything covered in “Free Palestine” graffiti. It’s their entire end goal.

Kind of wild to call the restoration of American monuments a “vanity project.” I mean, Democrats didn’t have to let fountains dry up, the reflecting pool turn to sewage, and monuments be covered with “free Palestine.”
Headquarters@HQNewsNow

New reporting reveals the Trump admin has used $67,000,000 of National Parks entrance fees to fund Trump's vanity projects in DC. This includes the painting of the Reflecting Pool, which he doled out to a MAGA contractor for $7,000,000.

@MLBPA_News I’m sorry. This isn’t 30 years ago. Read the room and the tea leaves. You’re not gonna win the war of public opinion this time no matter how much you want to. There’s zero competitive balance anymore and if you want someone to blame, blame LA for gaming the system.

There is a number sitting in the final report on the 2025 Invictus Games, it has to do with costs, and that number is $118,000. PER COMPETITOR. 500-something wounded veterans would mean $63,000,000 in total spend, and if you do the arithmetic (which I'm sure no one was supposed to do) you arrive at a per-veteran cost roughly equal to the median home price in 26 American states. Which is a lot of money, unless the competitors are being awarded actual pieces of real estate. ...which they are not. They are getting medals. The United States Warrior Games, which exists to do the same thing for veterans of the same wars, runs on $2,000,000, for a full year. The German equivalent runs on $200,000, which means the Germans are basically running their entire operation on what the Vancouver guys spend on high-end cheese platters. So, either Vancouver is uniquely expensive (fine, sure, maybe a cup of coffee there costs... 5,000 dollars?) or something else is happening here, and the thing happening here is a total scam that works because we have collectively agreed "charity for wounded veterans" is a phrase you cannot question without looking like a complete piece of trash. This is the trick that worked so well with things like USAID, by the way. Every charity-industrial apparatus, everywhere, runs on it. It’s a brilliant psychological hack. You attach a noble cause to a budget -> the budget becomes the noble cause. Ask why a wheelchair-curling tournament needed a $60,000,000 production line, and you are no longer asking about a tournament. You are asking about the veterans. And the veterans, as a rhetorical category, are not available for cross-examination, you monster! Veterans end up becoming a very, very lucrative human shield for a giant pile of cash. Meanwhile, a royal commentator is on the record asking whether the 'founder' is using the whole machinery as a personal tax write-off. There is no evidence he is, but... there is also no evidence he isn't. But "show us the ledger" is, somehow, the rudest question anyone is allowed to ask out loud. Oddly enough, the defense isn't "here are the books, look at them all you want." Nope, their defense is just pointing a finger at you and screaming that you're a bad person for wanting to see them. Or maybe systemic racism. Or unconscious bias. Or something else.

If a politician would rather lose their seat than pass voter ID, which has greater than 80% bipartisan approval, they were bought and paid for.

🇺🇸 Take a minute to reflect on the hallowed grounds of the Normandy American Cemetery in France on this Memorial Day. Perched on a bluff overlooking Omaha Beach — the very site where our heroes launched the greatest assault for liberty in human history — lie the final resting places of 9,389 American warriors who gave their last full measure of devotion during D-Day in World War II. These are not just graves. They are monuments to American courage, sacrifice, and the fierce belief that freedom is worth dying for. Among them: • 307 Unknown Soldiers — forever honored, never forgotten. • 1,557 names inscribed on the Walls of the Missing — their spirits still watching over the cause they served. • 45 pairs of brothers who fought and fell together. • Three Medal of Honor recipients and four heroic American women buried side by side with their brothers-in-arms. This sacred cemetery was established on June 8, 1944, just days after the invasion. This was the first American WWII cemetery on European soil. A permanent reminder that when evil threatened the world, America answered the call. To every American who stormed those beaches, climbed those cliffs, and never came home: Your blood bought our tomorrow. Because of you, the light of liberty still shines bright across the globe. We will never forget. We will never falter. God Bless our Fallen Heroes. God Bless the United States of America. ❤️🤍💙

At this point, we need to just ban the H-1B visa entirely. You aren't going to convince me there is a "labor shortage" when 42% of recent college grads are underemployed, stuck in jobs that don't require their degree. Start giving people a chance instead of throwing away their future for your own greed. It's destroying our country.

@BravesStash I mean, he’s always been a defense-heavy guy so that skews it, but the bat is league-average at best.

@hiimbobbi Dean and Allie are my fave Off Campus story and I will readily tell you there are a bajillion blonde actors in Hollywood. You can see his dark roots so clearly. Book Allie is clean-cut blonde and they not only made her brunette, but that hair is a rats nest. I don’t get it.
