In 2022 the USMNT didn’t field a SINGLE player with the technical quality to score this goal. That alone helps to illustrate our gradual but undeniable World Cup progress, and what a goal it was 🔥

This was how important he was to this club. Bro was HIM

How many presidents have sought to nominate a former insurance lawyer as a US Attorney? Provide me with an example where a president other than Trump terminated a lawyer with the Department of Justice for refusing to compromise their professional ethics. You’re all mouth. No substance. You’re the embarrassment.

We have entire majors for turf management all over this great country. Let’s use them right

Tom Homan says those claiming DHS is carrying out mass deportations is “just a bunch of CRAP.” Under Kristi Noem, ICE was arresting 3,000 illegals a day. Under Markwanye Mullin, the goal is 2,000, but they’re not even reaching that. If Mullin reaches his maximum goal, we’re only arresting 730,000 illegals a year. Base case scenario, we deport all of those illegals—if Mullin makes it 3 years. That means we’re deporting a MAXIMUM of 2.2 million illegals under his leadership. The Biden regime let in 12-15 million. It’s drops in the bucket. Under Kristi Noem’s leadership, ICE and CBP were working to expand their operations and purchased warehouses to house illegals while their “due process” plays out. Under Mullin’s leadership, he got rid of 7 of those 11 new warehouses. That cost tax payer $700 million. Who wins here? The private prison companies (which Tom Homan once consulted for), Democrats, and the amnesty lobby. Tom Homan will tell you June and July have a “record number” of arrests, but he’s doing what he did under the Obama years. He’s adding CBP, ICE, and Coast Guard arrests to create the illusion things are happening under his leadership. Border apprehensions are also up since Mullin took over.

I still think we need to be moving away from the college players summer league model as the base of our pyramid.

Weird that no one in the league wanted him for $8M

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey may be the most pro-Western civilization film Hollywood has made in decades - not because it flatters the Greeks, but because it understands civilization as a moral achievement rather than an ethnic possession. The identitarian far-left and far-right share a premise: that the Western canon is ethnic property. One side condemns it on that basis; the other guards it on the same basis. Nolan refuses the premise, populating Homer's world with various identities while treating the story with absolute seriousness. That’s not a repudiation of the canon but evidence of its triumph: Homer can be inhabited by, and speak to, anyone. The film’s deepest commitment is to individual moral agency. Odysseus cannot hide behind Greece, military orders, or victory. His choices are his own, and so is his guilt. No collective cause dissolves individual moral responsibility; his final heroism lies not in conquest, but atonement. That principle extends to hospitality: treat the stranger as you would wish to be treated. When the Greeks violate it, they become the barbarians they fear. Penelope's devastating realization - "You're the people from the sea" - underscores that the enemies of civilization are sometimes its self-appointed defenders, exempting themselves from the principles they claim to uphold. This is Western civilization at its best - not an ethnicity or a triumphalist myth, but a tradition built around the dignity of the individual, moral responsibility, and atonement. And a civilization strong enough to preserve stories that judge its own heroes remains a civilization worth defending.

Trump doesn't understand that his enforcement priorities do not trump prosecutors' ethical obligations. Some of his civil attorneys forgot that and have suffered consequences. Pursuing drug dealers, Medicaid and Medicare fraud are legitimate enforcement priorities. Looking for crimes against political opponents by a corrupt and vindictive president is not.

My analysis on the Cuypers move: He has been the best 9 in MLS. You can’t really upgrade from that. This moves only makes sense if an elite midfielder comes in as a DP. If we move sideways at striker and upgrade the midfield - I’d convince myself things are ok.
