@jk_rowling I don’t understand why this issue matters to you, but I think it’s important to keep the conversation respectful and grounded. The situation around Paris 2024 was complex, and people were often trying to balance fairness, inclusion, and safety in good faith.

Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.

An alleged repeat criminal offender was allowed back on our streets and killed an Air Force veteran. This is precisely why I was the Democratic lead on the Laken Riley law. Why is it controversial for Democrats support deporting criminal migrants?

Rick Pitino shares a masterclass on teamwork and selflessness. "Regardless of how you play, when you play for the name on the front, the back prospers." "When you play for the name on the back, you never prosper. All you are is guys with good stats. That's it." Stats don't win championships - teams do. "Play for the front. Give everything you have for the front name." "Do everything - from diving on the floor, to blocking shots, to setting screens, to playing together. Play for the name on the front." Great teams play for each other. They know connected teams achieve more. "The name on the front is gonna bring big rewards for the name on the back. I guarantee it." "Give it everything you have for this name." The formula is simple: Put the team first, and everything else follows. Play for the front. The back will take care of itself. (🎥St. Johns )

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot. "You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in." "That's the American way - except America has gotten soft." You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn. It starts with showing up and earning it every single day. No shortcuts...Just hard work. (🎥@CBBonFOX )

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815. Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did. Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

A father told his daughter, "Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now." Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it. See how much they offer.” The girl came back to her father & said: "They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old" Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop". The girl returns to her father & said: "The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car & a lot of work done". The father told her to join a passionate car club with experts & show them the car. The girl drove to the passionate car club. She returned to her father after a few hours & told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100k because its a rare car that's in good condition.” Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value ." The moral of the story : Know your worth and know where you are valued. A diamond doesn't shine on the bottom of a cave.
