@zoots1515 @Chrisxy24 Yea, most don’t recognize that.
The avg. age of the fighters were 10 years older than him, all of them past their prime.
Not saying they would have faired any better, but 10 years is a pretty big gap for fighters.

@Chrisxy24 I remember watching this live. His fights were always an event. Tyson was very good but he fought when the previous gen of great heavyweights were past their prime. The competition in his era was not on the same level.
English

A 20-year-old Mike Tyson walked into the ring against heavyweight champion Trevor Berbick like a man possessed. 😳🥊#boxing
After the stoppage of round 1, Berbick spat on Tyson out of frustration and humiliation, and Tyson instantly became furious. The rest was history for him.🔥

@MarioNawfal The problem with the Gulf states is their lack of unity, they fail to understand that being a puppet to the West is the most dangerous thing they could ever imagine.
Ally should be of equal benefit to both sides, not the other way round.

🇦🇪🇮🇷 The UAE reportedly tried to persuade neighboring states, including Saudi and Qatar, to join them in retaliation against Iran’s strikes
But both Mohammed bin Salman and Qatari leadership reportedly rejected the idea, with one source summing up their position bluntly: “This isn’t our war.”
While Abu Dhabi allegedly leaned toward direct coordination with Trump and Israel, Saudi officials reportedly viewed the UAE’s posture as dangerously escalatory and instead focused on deterrence and defense.
The fallout appears to have been massive.
Reports suggest the dispute deepened an already worsening rivalry between the UAE and Saudi, one fueled by disagreements over Yemen, Sudan, economics, and now Iran.
Then came the real shockwave: the UAE walking away from OPEC.

🇮🇶🇮🇷 Iraq’s oil exports plummeted thanks to Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz. In April, they shipped just 10 million barrels through the Strait, compared to their usual monthly average before the war started of around 90 million. They’re aiming to boost their production capacity of 5 million barrels per day, no idea where they’ll ship it if the Strait remains closed. Source: Reuters

A los 30 años, borracho y sin trabajo, me senté en el borde de la cama y pensé: "Anthony, no puedes seguir así".
Había llegado a Londres desde Gales con un sueño: ser actor. Pero el sueño se convirtió en pesadilla. El alcohol me controlaba. Perdía papeles, mi mujer me dejó, mis amigos me abandonaron. Pasaba los días en bares oscuros y las noches en camerinos vacíos.
Una noche, en 1967, entré en una reunión de Alcohólicos Anónimos. Tenía miedo. No del alcohol, sino de mí mismo. De la debilidad que sentía al pedir ayuda.
No bebí un solo trago en 57 años.
Después llegó la sobriedad. Y con ella, el trabajo. "El hombre elefante", "Los restos del día", "El Silencio de los Corderos... un Oscar y muchos premios. Una carrera que todavía hoy continúa.
Pero la fama no curó las heridas. Tuve que aprender a vivir conmigo mismo a aceptar mi pasado y a perdonarme.
Hace unos años, durante la pandemia, grabé un video que se hizo viral. Hablaba de no rendirse. Hablaba de la vejez, de la soledad, del valor de seguir adelante. No lo hice por fama. Lo hice porque aquel chico de 30 años necesitaba oír esas palabras.
Si hoy te sientes perdido, si el alcohol o cualquier otra droga te está destruyendo, pide ayuda. Yo lo hice. Y aquí estoy, medio siglo después, sobrio y contándotelo.
No hay vergüenza en caer. La hay en no levantarse.

Nothing beats a chance encounter with a legend!
While driving home to Utah after the rock climbing divisionals in Sacramento, this father-son duo crossed paths with a true monster of the rails: Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014. 🚂💨
Currently on its historic 2026 Coast-to-Coast Tour, this 1.1-million-pound beast is the only operational steam locomotive of its kind left in the world.
Seeing those 5'8" wheels in motion puts its 133-foot scale into perspective. A massive piece of history heading back toward the same Wasatch Mountains it was built to conquer. 🏔️ 💪

I built CourtWatch.us — a free public database for American citizens who deserve safer communities.
You can track which judges released defendants who then got rearrested, skipped court, or violated their release conditions. All public records. All free.
I started with Orange County FL and will be expanding to all 67 Florida counties and eventually every state in the country. This first batch of info is from 2024 and since public reports are released in March/April for the previous year, data is behind. But I wanted to see if this is plausible. After adding 2024,I'll add 2025 and then figure out how to get real-time-data uploaded.
It's in beta — would love to know what you think 👇
Numbers don't lie, but criminals do.

@BuckWilde_ Well they didn’t really build a “secret base”.
Special forces took over a farm so the planes could land.
I think that has more balls then the secret base theory 😂
English

So we went in, built a secret base to land our aircraft, IN IRAN, WSO evades 7k feet up a mountain, we send in PJ’s and other SOF to get him, waste some IRGC dudes, planes get stuck at base, we blow them, get ALL our guys out safe, and all the sand people get for a “trophy” are a set of American flag undies. That is the biggest fuck you in the history of the world. 🇺🇸

EXCLUSIVE: The hidden $250K machine of 9 paid vendors behind the 'flagship' #NoKings protest in St. Paul, Minnesota
I followed the money behind the No Kings protest in St. Paul, Minn., and uncovered an estimated $250,000 paid to 9 vendors to produce an event that was about the size of a Def Leppard concert.
Sources said that the Democratic nonprofit Indivisible paid the bill. It didn't respond to numerous requests for comment.
How did I piece this together?
Well, I have a rule when reporting on the protest industry: be the first there and one of the last to leave.
That’s how I met Slamhammer Sound & Roadcase Co. production manager Matt Svobodny, one of the very nice hard-working members of the production crew behind the scenes in St. Paul, as they were breaking down the set for the No Kings protest, long after Bruce Springsteen and most of the anti-Trump protesters had left.
He was straightforward, candid and matter-of-fact about what it takes to throw a protest and, a few days later, guided me -- and you -- through the warehouse where Slamhammer stores the equipment it pulled out for the protest.
He provided the kind of transparency that the secretive nonprofits behind the protests should actually be providing to citizens and the media.
See for yourself:
➡️ the mobile stage
➡️ the speakers
➡️ nearly a mile of heavy-duty feeder cable used to distribute electricity throughout the rally site and the ballistic
➡️ bullet-resistant barriers that shielded the Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, Joan Baez, TIm Walz, Ilhan Omar, Randi Weingarten and the day's other bold-faced names
WATCH the video that I recorded ⬇️
Thank you to Fox News Digital's Hannah Brennan for her work editing the video.
In our new @FoxNews Digital exclusive, I lay out how the "flagship" protest in St. Paul wasn’t spontaneous, like most of the media reported.
It was professionally engineered.
And that raises a bigger question: When protests look like productions…who’s really behind the curtain?
I answer that question in the article and the thread below 🧵👇
A former Obama and Biden administration political strategist and campaign operative Roger Fisk takes credit for being the "Senior Advisor to the #NoKings flagship event," fine-tuning the "art and science" of throwing the St. Paul protest, along with two other "No Kings" protests last year. Fisk didn't respond to a request for comment.
The protests have parroted Chinese government propaganda, demonizing America as a "fascist" nation and Trump as a "king." Partners in the protests were pro-communist groups funded by Neville Roy Singham, a tech tycoon living in Shanghai.
@DataRepublican, You'll want to read this.
READ: foxnews.com/politics/behin…
Behind the scenes, I identified 9 vendors that were paid an estimated $250,000 to construct the protest:
➡️ Slamhammer Sound & Roadcase Co. — mobile stage, 100-speaker sound system, lighting, 1,700 ft cable, ballistic barriers → estimated $100,000
➡️ Fire Up Video — 4 jumbo screens → estimated $20,000
➡️ Algorithm, an AV company — 2 jumbo screens → estimated $25,000
➡️ Common World Productions — 2 LED stage screens → estimated $10,000
➡️ Warning Lites of Minnesota — bike-rack barricades → estimated $15,000
➡️ E5 Energy — generators, electrical distribution → estimated $15,000
➡️ Ultimate Events — tents, chairs, tables → estimated $30,000
➡️ On Site Companies — ~300 porta-toilets → estimated $25,000
➡️ Fast Kat Connects — high-speed internet → estimated $10,000
Total: an estimated $250,000.
This wasn’t a rally that just “popped up,” as CNN reported.
It was built, truck by truck, cable by cable, screen by screen. 🧵 with how it worked.

This evening I loaded all the kids in the car (there were 9 of them since we have friends visiting) and my dad dropped us off at the beach so we could watch the Artemis launch. There were so many people packing the shore we could hardly find a clear spot to stand, but everyone was so happy, so hopeful. Kids played in the surf, a couple of dads who had it pulled up on their phones counted down, and the entire beach erupted in cheers when it took off. What memories!

Look at the date in this picture… July 25, 2015.
This was the post that started it all.
But what many people don’t know is that even before this moment, I had a simple prayer… I asked God to use me as His vessel. I didn’t get an answer that day. Not a month later. Not even a year later. It took time.
And then one day… this happened.
A simple act, pulling over to help someone in need—turned into something I never could have imagined. Looking back now, I’m still amazed at how one moment of obedience turned into a movement that has impacted thousands.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: when you ask God to use you, He will. It just might not happen on your timeline. And during that waiting season, He’s not ignoring you, He’s preparing you.
So stay ready. Stay faithful. Because when your moment comes… it can change everything.

@iamrodneysmith It’s been an amazing journey and that single action has touched so many people across this country.
You have been an inspiration to many.

"Top Secret!" (1984) is super silly and funny. This is a classic action comedy parody film by the trio Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker (the team behind Airplane! and The Naked Gun).
Val Kilmer plays the lead role – this is also his film debut.
