Before the #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner I reported most intrepidly from the red carpet. Even though I was there for @TheDailyShow, the liberal reporters cowered in fear, while Trump officials and @FoxNews journalists took to me like flies to poop. youtube.com/watch?v=7ps7sB…

Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling Bill LeRoy an “insult to Jesus” because the veteran catcher and captain of the Savannah Bananas is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender.
Standing in front of a roaring, sold-out Banana Ball crowd, LeRoy didn’t just clap back — he delivered a powerful, no-nonsense response that shook the stadium.
“The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” LeRoy began, gripping the mic with calm intensity. “You want to know what’s a real insult to Jesus? Turning your back on people who need help while giving more to those who already have everything.”
“You know what insults Jesus?” he continued, gesturing toward the crowd. “Separating families, shutting doors on those in need, and forgetting what ‘love thy neighbor’ actually means. That’s not the message I stand for — and it’s not the message this team stands for.”
“You know what insults Jesus? Preaching values while ignoring compassion. Talking about faith while practicing division. That’s not faith — that’s politics dressed up as religion.”
“I’m not a perfect Christian,” he said, a small smile crossing his face. “There’s only been one perfect man, and I’m not him. I’m just a catcher who believes in treating people right.”
“Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… So why do we keep choosing hate, division, and fear instead?”

@SalSports I allow it if:
- toter lid is open or ajar
- And trash has not yet been picked up
I’d much rather someone toss in my garbage than a “shit & run” 💩🐕

@MikeJohnson I find it ironic you trust “voting” on X to assess the integrity of US elections.

I'm a little embarrassed that I only now realize that @RepJackKimble is a fictional parody character.
And I'm jealous that I didn't think of it first.
Long live quality satire. #America 🇺🇸

@CryptoTaxFixer Interesting idea. Can I still use roads & streets maintained (including snowplowed) by the county? Do I have to use the towns sewers or street lights? Or would we have to pay for those things separately?

I was listening to Ron DeSantis talk about eliminating property tax in Florida, and at first I thought, “There’s no way that works.”
Then I heard the details…and it actually made a lot of sense.
The idea isn’t to eliminate property tax for everyone.
It would only apply to primary residences , people who live in Florida full-time.
Snowbirds who come for a few months? They still pay.
Businesses and commercial properties? They still pay.
But, if you own your home and live there permanently, no more yearly tax just to keep what you already own.
And honestly, why should you be taxed every year on something you’ve already paid for?
I saw this in Sweden, property taxes are extremely low, and people can actually stay in their homes for life instead of being forced out when taxes rise.
In the U.S., especially in high-tax states, retirees on fixed incomes often get priced out of their own homes. Some are paying tens of thousands a year just in property taxes.
DeSantis said only about 20% of Florida property is primary residences. The rest is businesses, commercial property, and part-time residents, which makes the numbers more manageable.
The big question is how local governments replace that revenue, especially in rural areas. He mentioned possible state-level revenue sharing.
Personally, I think it’s a really compelling idea, and politically, it’s going to get a lot of attention.
What do you think?
Should homeowners pay property tax forever on their primary residence, or once you own it, should it truly be yours?
Curious to hear different perspectives

@ScottKinmartin Probably the clearest opinion I’ve seen so far. I totally agree. #GoBills

After sitting with everything — my own thoughts, the press conference, the media reaction, and the fan response — I think a few things can all be true at once. This decision to move on from Sean McDermott wasn’t made in the locker room after the Denver game. The organization had been growing weary of coming up just short year after year and quietly questioning whether McDermott could break through that final wall. This season felt like a line in the sand: make the big show, or make a big change.
That said, the press conference was a mistake. Not because the decision itself was necessarily wrong, but because the messaging failed. What should have been a moment of clarity and leadership instead created more questions. The tone felt defensive and emotional at times, and the lack of a clearly articulated vision is what fueled skepticism from the media and frustration from #BillsMafia. This wasn’t about football Xs and Os — it was about confidence and direction, and that didn’t come through.
I also want to be clear about McDermott himself. I like him a lot. I think he’s a great leader of men, I think he evolved as a coach, and I honestly thought this was one of his best coaching seasons. Moving on doesn’t mean he failed — it means the situation may have hit a ceiling. At the same time, this offseason does offer real opportunity: a new head coach, the NFL Draft, free agency, and a fresh start tied to a new stadium. All of that can be a reset — if it’s handled correctly.
That’s where the accountability now sits. Brandon Beane owns what comes next. If this hire, this roster build, and this transition don’t move the needle, then he’s the next man out the door — and that’s fair. As for ownership, the best thing moving forward may be stability and restraint. Let the football people lead, let the plan speak for itself, and keep the mic away for a while. The move itself may age better than the explanation — but now it’s time to prove there’s a real vision behind it.
