@EnesFreedom @okcthunder Wow. Just wow. So well said.

To my Oklahoma family; this piece comes straight from the heart. I hope you’ll take a moment to read it and feel what I felt. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of it. I came to @okcthunder to play basketball. I left carrying 168 lives. When I was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder, I was thinking about basketball, nothing more. I didn’t know that before I ever stepped on the court, this place would show me something that would stay with me far longer than any game. Like any player, my mind was on the game. A new team, a new city, a new opportunity. I expected the usual routine when I landed in Oklahoma City. Physicals, practices, meetings, and a jersey waiting in a locker. But before any of that, Sam Presti pulled me aside and told me there was somewhere we needed to go. He didn’t explain much, and I didn’t think to ask. I was focused on the next step in my career. What I didn’t understand was that, before I could represent the place I was about to play for, I needed to understand it. So instead of heading to the facility, he took me to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. I walked in without knowing what I was about to see, and within minutes, everything slowed down. There are 168 chairs at the memorial, each one representing a life lost on April 19, 1995. They are arranged in quiet rows, each engraved with a name, each standing where a person once stood in that building. Then you notice something that is impossible to process the first time you see it. Some of the chairs are smaller. They belong to children. There is no speech that prepares you for that, no headline that captures it. You simply stand there, and the silence carries a kind of weight that is hard to describe but impossible to ignore. As you walk through the memorial, you pass between two gates marked 9:01 and 9:03. At first, they seem like simple numbers, but then you understand what they hold. One marks the last minute before the attack. The other marks the first minute after. And in between those two gates is 9:02, the moment when everything changed. That minute does not feel like history when you are standing there. It feels present. The reflecting pool stretches across what used to be a city street, its surface calm and still. When you look into it, you do not just see water. You see yourself standing in a place where unimaginable loss occurred, and for a moment, everything else in your life becomes quieter. Nearby stands the Survivor Tree, an American elm that was damaged in the blast but endured. It is not untouched. Its scars are part of what it represents. But it is still standing, and in that, it carries a kind of strength that does not need to be explained. We did not speak much while we were inside. It did not feel like a place for conversation. Some places ask for words. This one asks for reflection. When we stepped outside, Sam Presti looked me in the eye and said, “This is what this state has been through.” Then he said something I will never forget. “Every time you step on that court, you are not just playing in front of fans. You are playing for a state that carries this with it. Give them everything you have. They deserve that.” In that moment, basketball felt different. Not smaller, but clearer. Because what I had just seen was not only about what was lost. It was about what remained. A state that had experienced unimaginable pain and still chose to come together, to rebuild, and to move forward without losing its humanity. From that day on, every time I stepped on the court, I carried that with me. On the nights when I was tired, when I was hurt, when I was dealing with challenges that felt heavy in the moment, I would think about those chairs, about that minute, about the people behind those names. And I was reminded that what I was going through did not compare to what this state had endured. oklahoman.com/story/opinion/…

@ThePosieParker @BenStiller “Actor”

@BenStiller Oh fuck off. You’re an actor.

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

@ATTHelp Tried those. Getting nowhere.

@ATT any contact numbers to help with a four month issue that are not run of the mill clerks?

"The actual Venezuelan people, the ones who lived under Maduro's boot, a whole lot of them are celebrating." "But you, sitting on your couch, eating your DoorDash, are pissed off." "Last week you were mad at Nick Shirley for exposing corruption, this week you are mad about an administration that doesn't even govern you." "You rotate outrage like it's a subscription service." "Pick a standard, or admit you don't have one." BASED!!!

@ATT still waiting on that call back to fix my account.

@Keir_Starmer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We will build a Britain where everyone can believe in the future again.

@ATT your rep deleted my account so now I have to completely start over. Never asked her to do such but here we are. Excellent customer service.

@RandPaul Republicans have been sitting on their hands for so long they know nothing else. Throw some hands, quit being soft, and take care of business.

I'm determined to get to the bottom of the COVID cover-up so we know how virologists – including Dr. Fauci – and the intelligence community conspired to prevent the American people from knowing the truth about the origins of COVID. childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/sen-r…

BANNON: We’re in a revolution, and we have to win. If we don’t, the country’s gone. This is black and white. We win or they win. The threat is here in the United States. It’s not foreign. It’s domestic. What you saw on that stage last night in New York City was the enemy.

NEW: Megyn Kelly unleashes on Republicans, congratulates them for spending the last few weeks policing a group chat and Tucker Carlson. "The Republicans like to lose. They enjoy losing." "They enjoy when they are embattled and in a losing position and complaining. They love it. They do it really well." "Less good at winning, especially when Donald Trump is not there to get them over the line. The Republican Party is not strong." "Donald Trump is strong. Republicans don't know how to win. They don't know who to run. They don't know what to do when daddy's not there to fly them across the finish line." Well said.

Zohran Mamdani’s intern Hadeeqa Arzoo Malik explains that electing him is part of a Holy War and jihad: “This is all jihad, this is all ibadah, this is all counted by Allah. How committed am I to this? What am I willing to sacrifice for this noble cause?”

@SenRandPaul How about you let me keep the money and I’ll invest for myself. And how about lowering my taxes. You guys are killing the middle class. Clean up your mess and spend MY money wisely.

No, I don’t hate old people in fact, I aspire to be one and I’d like Social Security to still exist. However, that does not mean math doesn't exist: at this rate, Social Security runs out in 2034 and, if we're to do nothing, everyone gets a 25% cut. We can fix it the same way we did in 1983: gradually raise the age, means-test benefits, and save the program without taxing working families into the ground. That means a little reform now instead of a massive cut later. Reforming Social Security isn’t about taking, it’s about keeping our promises. We can protect seniors and future generations if we’re willing to be honest about the numbers. Thanks for having me @cvpayne on @FoxBusiness.

🚨The soul of the Democrat Party belongs to the radical left now — AOC, Mamdani, Jay Jones, Omar Fateh. A communist, a socialist, and a man with a murder fetish — this is who they’ve become. I warned in 2019 this would be @AOC’s party. Tonight proved it.

Retweet this post below. Schiff is tagged, so he’ll see every one of you who detests his lying, filthy existence.

@GeneralMCNews Be safe…. Democrats are Sick

Rep. Janelle Bynum can't say why she voted to shut down the government. BYNUM: "Any bill that [Republicans] have put forth...there's always been a poison pill." C-SPAN: "What were the poison pills of the clean CR?" BYNUM: ...

@CityofEdmond so you dump one trash can and not the other but I still have to pay for it? Seems fair.
