James Blake

What a level of tennis displayed by @janniksin and @AlexZverev in the Wimbledon final. Tremendous tennis from both and congratulations to the players and teams.

If you witnessed anything or recorded video that could help explain what happened to Nolan Wells, please come forward. Even the smallest detail could matter. If this were your child, you would want everyone with information to speak up. Help us pursue the truth.

@JayDevilliers @ChristianAlshon @Served_Podcast @AlexBublik12 @yimlife1313 @PPAtour @MajorLeaguePB Dude, I broke my neck playing tennis. Still one example doesn’t make it tougher than football or hockey. Not sound reasoning. Maybe you still have a concussion.

After today, I never thought I would say that but I have to agree with @ChristianAlshon that pickleball is a tougher sport than tennis 😆 When did this ever happen to you? 😉@Served_Podcast @AlexBublik12 @yimlife1313 @PPAtour @MajorLeaguePB

Colin Kaepernick and @yourrightscamp answered this family's call when they needed it most by helping fund an independent autopsy for Nolan Wells. Thank you, Colin for standing with this grieving family in their pursuit of answers. 🙏🏿 thegrio.com/2026/07/10/nol…

@HPennymon Sure did. You?

@JRBlake You went to Harvard?

@JRBlake Mr. Blake, you played professional tennis for a while. What is the difference between a MAJOR and a GRAND SLAM?

🚨BREAKING: (Chicago suburb, St. Charles) ICE agents smashed a handcuffed man’s face into a stone wall, then assaulted a U.S. citizen, multiple times, once they realized they were filming. In the video, multiple ICE agents have a man in handcuffs. While he is completely under their control, and not resisting, they smash his face into a stone wall. A U.S. citizen begins asking for the man’s name, while filming... note that he is not interfering, blocking the agents, or preventing the arrest in any way…. But that doesn’t stop the ICE agent from chases after him, while another agent threatens him with a taser. As the citizen is actively backing away, the agent continues walking toward him, and aggressively shoves him backwards. Even after the detained man is being escorted to the vehicle… and the legal observer is nowhere near the agents, or their cars… that same ICE agent continues shoving the U.S. citizen for no apparent reason. And while he is standing on the public sidewalk, another agent walks over and points a taser inches from him, and then turns around and points his taser at other innocent people, who are just standing and watching. Americans have a First Amendment right to record government officials performing their duties in public. Threatening, intimidating, or assaulting someone because they are documenting law enforcement, violates that right. And slamming a person face, who is handcuffed and not resisting, into a stone wall is excessive force. This is exactly why it’s important to always record anytime you see ICE agents. Because when there isn’t video evidence, we’re told to trust the government’s version of events. And more often than not, their version is filled with lies. But when there is video, the people filming often become the next target… just for documenting what is happening. And that’s what makes this so alarming. This is happening across the country, almost every single day. Americans are watching videos of people being thrown to the ground, beaten, threatened, shoved, tased, and intimidated by federal agents… while never seeing anyone held accountable. When a government refuses to investigate or discipline agents who violate people’s constitutional rights, it sends a message that they can keep doing it. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing. The Constitution means nothing if the people sworn to uphold it can violate it without consequence. And as long as this administration refuses to hold ICE agents accountable, Americans should expect to keep seeing videos like this… because impunity breeds abuse.

ICE killed a father of three yesterday and no one is talking about it. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in Houston building homes and raising a family. According to people interviewed, every night after work you'd find him on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. He helped his three kids (U.S. Citizens) get through college. It certainly seems that he was doing everything right, and then a federal agent shot him dead during a stop and his own son found out from a Facebook video, recognizing his father's voice as he lay bleeding in the street. His son says that if his father had recognized any sign of law enforcement, he would have complied without question. DHS says he "tried to run him over." This is the exact same lie they used to justify murdering Renee Good, a mother of three. We are being asked to trust a rogue, lawless agency's word over a dead man's family, again, with no body cam release and no independent investigation. Everyone should be outraged.

-his “friends” took his phone & LEFT HIM on the island -his “friends” deactivated their social media accounts -his “friends” got into an altercation - his “friends” were told by their FBI & lawyer parents to not speak - Nolan’s body was found injured & Bruised WHAT YOU MEAN NO EVIDENCE OF CRIME?

If 3 Black Boys went on a boating trip and came back without their white friend and said they had no idea where he was, but they had his cell phone, there was evidence they were arguing, and they deleted all of their social media……They would’ve been arrested already #NolanWells

Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely

@Bakari_Sellers He’s gotta have one of those circus mirrors that makes him look slimmer, but maybe it’s also got something that gets rid of the color.

What do yall think he sees in the mirror?

Madame Celeste Amarilla, Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction. Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays. Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

This may be the image that defines America's 250th birthday. A woman sits calmly on a Washington Metro train as masked members of the white nationalist and domestic terrorist group Patriot Front surround her. They covered their faces. She didn't. Earlier in the day, Patriot Front marched through the nation's capital carrying Confederate flags and chanting that America must be "reclaimed," the latest expression of a white nationalist movement that has grown increasingly visible, violent, emboldened, and politically influential in recent years. Their ideology is explicit. Their courage, apparently, is not. Not one of them was willing to show his face. And then there is her. No mask. No uniform. No fear. Just an American woman refusing to surrender an inch of her dignity to a group of men who appeared to be seeking exactly that. The symbolism is almost too perfect. 250 years after the Declaration of Independence, and six decades after Americans marched and died to make its promises apply to everyone, a group of masked white nationalists rode the socialist Metro home in anonymity. The woman they tried to intimidate is the one America will remember. The people who hide their faces do not define this country. The people who refuse to be afraid do.

BOOMER: "Healthcare isn't that expensive. Stop complaining." ME: "An ambulance ride costs $1,200." BOOMER: "That's for emergencies." ME: "A doctor's visit is $300. Urgent care is $500. An ER visit is $2,000 minimum." BOOMER: "Well you need insurance." ME: "Insurance costs $400 a month with a $6,000 deductible. So I'm paying $4,800 a year before they pay anything." BOOMER: "Just go to your company doctor." ME: "Companies don't do that anymore. They outsourced it." BOOMER: "I never had these problems." ME: "Your company covered 80% of your healthcare. Mine covers 60% and raises my deductible every year." BOOMER: "You're just unhealthy." ME: "A single antibiotic is $300. Insulin is $400 a month. You can't ration health." BOOMER: "Stop being dramatic." ME: "Medical debt is the #1 reason Americans file for bankruptcy." BOOMER: *silent* You didn't have cheap healthcare. You had employers who actually paid for it. We have employers who shifted the cost entirely to us. That's not a difference in behavior. That's a system that changed.

BREAKING: Princeton Professor Eddie Glaude unleashes a devastating takedown of "rabid" and "racist" Stephen Miller — and it's one for the ages. This is an absolute must-read... "Stephen Miller is a racist. He's a white nationalist. White nationalists have seized the federal government. Great Replacement Theory motivates this immigration policy," Glaude said on "Democracy Now." "It is in fact part of the justificatory language of the so-called legal decision or opinion that Justice Alito laid out. We need to call them for what they are," he continued. The professor is, of course, absolutely right. The Republican effort to overturn birthright citizenship under Trump thankfully hit a brick wall with the Supreme Court's ruling this week, but we should be deeply alarmed that three justices, including Thomas, sided with the White House's efforts to violate the Constitution. And there's nothing subtle about this agenda. Trump and Miller desperately want to end birthright citizenship because they're worried that white people are a shrinking majority in this country. In Trump's case, he cares about the issue because his racist base cares. In Miller's case, he has an ideological commitment to race-based fascism. "And in so many ways, this is an echo of the 1920s. Oftentimes, the United States, in order to secure its virtue, will say the 'Monsters over in Germany, not understanding that the German monster was looking to the U.S. in the 1920s," Glaude explained. "Explain," said the host. "So what I mean is that here is the moment. The Klan is reborn in 1915," said Glaude. "Its basic motivation is rooted in the kind of nativism, a kind of true 100% Americanism, right? They want Nordic immigration, not those folk from the swarthy asshole countries of Europe. The Italians. The suspicious Irish papists and the like." Again, Glaude is spot on. The Trump administration has blatantly sought to reduce immigration from Muslim and nonwhite countries. The President himself previously stated that he wants more immigrants from "nice" countries like Denmark and Switzerland. They also specifically prioritized white immigrants from South Africa. "They are really in so many ways, right, thinking of the country as a white republic," he went on. "The seminal piece of legislation of the Klan, the one that they claimed they were most proud of, was the Johnson Reed Immigration Act and Nationality Act of 1924, which laid clear the quotas keeping the country white, right? So much so, 1926, the 150th anniversary of the nation, the Klan was approved to have its annual convocation, its annual convention, on the grounds of the Philadelphia Exposition. They're going to celebrate the American flag and its 150th anniversary and burn a cross at the same time!" "These people are the inheritors of that legacy," Glaude said of the MAGA movement. "They believe the country should be white. And what we see with TPS, what we see with the immigration policies is an all out assault, a twin assault, Amy, on two fundamental pieces of legislation that changed the trajectory of the country." "One, of course, was the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It's been gutted. The other, of course, is the Hart-Celler Act, Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which overturned the quotas of the 1924 Immigration Act," he added. "This is a white nationalist agenda. And Stephen Miller and all of these folk are just simply rabid, racist, and we need to call them for who they are." We couldn't agree more. Conservatives are constantly shrieking that it's unfair to call them racist, but everything they do and say reveals the truth. They are racist. And we aren't afraid to say it. Please ❤️ and share if you oppose Stephen Miller's racist agenda!

@ellencourtney1 She doesn’t have to change it. It was just my opinion that I would like to hear the crowd. One of the beautiful things about tennis is that we all get to be individuals.

@JRBlake Hi James—Iga wears her headphones on every walkout, every tournament. It’s about LOUD AC/DC or similar 80s music to get her pumped, not a sponsor! She’s not gonna change it 🤣

@ATerranova1705 @jemelehill The game has adapted. Nothing stays the same and I don’t contend that there is no nostalgia, but I love the place the game is now.

@jemelehill @JRBlake I would even push back here. No serve and volley anymore.

Question: Is there a sport where the older players are generally happy with how their game is played today?

@seancstonge @PeelkingsRadio Thanks Sean. All good with me and I hope you are doing great too.

@JRBlake @PeelkingsRadio Forgot JJ! Hope all is well @JRBlake ur old neighbor Sean

Did anyone from your high school become a professional athlete?
