@HamptonVernon @Daniel_Rapaport The paying members who play the course the other 51 weeks a year?

@Daniel_Rapaport Who is “everyone else” ? I think this “let’s knock all the trees down because it’s what an architect in 1912 did” movement is insane, & won’t be viewed favorably 20-30 years from now Tree lined courses are wonderful, more difficult, and a great protection against bomb/gauge

Feels like we've reached an inflection point on The Tree debate. Pros, by and large, seem to not like the trend of taking out trees on golf courses. They say it reduces strategy—just bomb it everywhere, then deal. Everyone else seems to enjoy the width, vistas and better turf.

EXCLUSIVE: NIH has removed virologist Ralph Baric from all his grants; UNC placed Baric on leave. Senior HHS officials says UNC was complicit in starting the COVID pandemic. “Baric designed the gun,” he said. “But the Chinese built it, and then they pulled the trigger.” realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2026/…

Sen. Mike Crapo just blocked Sen. Elizabeth Warren's last-ditch attempt to preserve the IRS's free Direct File program. In the last election cycle, Crapo was the top GOP congressional recipient of campaign contributions from the corporate PAC of TurboTax's parent company.

@jamierkennedy Rose, 1 ahead of Rahm and Fitz

Name the 2026 Masters winner..... (I'll reshare the right picks on Sunday night)

Unreal numbers 👀⚡️ "JPMorgan estimates that, had Germany not phased out nuclear power, the country would have generated 50% less electricity from fossil fuels and 84% less electricity from natural gas in 2024. Electricity prices in Germany would have been around 25% lower, and the country would have imported half as much electricity.."

When we look at the brain after COVID, we need to accept something that still hasn’t fully landed in public understanding - changes in cerebral perfusion aren’t limited to people with Long COVID. They show up in almost everyone. And this new study makes that point clear🧵

I explain why the accusation that Israel is committing "genocide" is blood libel. Me: The application of the word genocide to refer to tens of thousands of war deaths is, I mean, I think it is a kind of blood libel. It's trying to import the moral opprobrium that we associate with genocide to a designated enemy, in this case, Israel. I think because I alluded to my side bias, the sides in this case being the sides that a lot of hard left critical theory has defined, namely white oppressors against everyone else's victims. Moynihan: It's pretty strong to say this is like a blood libel. Me: Well, it is a blood libel in the sense that it is an accusation of deliberate murder, ill-founded in that the, and one could disagree with Israel's campaign against Gaza, one could say that this is not justifiable, it's not a just war. It's still different from deliberately murdering as many people as possible, as in, and we know there have been genocides. I think it really is a terrible blood libel, and it's a sign of how people's moralizing in the service of demonizing and dichotomizing, dividing the world into good and evil can just flatten their ability to analyze and to think clearly.

Well, humans *are* very efficient movers, just more so on a bicycle!

Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free.

@JustinRayGolf Looked more like 16-18'

Tommy Fleetwood: 33'5" birdie putt at 12 is the longest putt he has made this week

Car headlights are too damn bright, and I'm doing something about it. Brightness has doubled in the last decade, but manufacturing standards haven't budged in 40 yrs. Drivers AND oncoming traffic deserve visibility – it matters for seniors & rural roads. youtube.com/watch?v=9YoV-Q…

One of the hardest things to empathize with: genuinely ignorant westerners enjoying a quality of life the overwhelming majority of human beings of any place or time would give anything to experience glamorizing backwards politics and ideologies that would devour them if given half the chance.

‘Sure… your scores seem great and everything, but we just don’t have another spot available for one of you people. Why don’t you try someplace else?’ 🤢 EVERY racially calibrated admissions policy implies insidious moral compromises like this.

If you think Oakmont (!) is too easy, then you are implicitly pro-rollback.

17-year-old Mason Howell is going to qualify for the U.S. Open. Massively impressive. Howell shot 63-63, currently leads the Final Qualifying site at Piedmont Driving Club. Howell will be a freshman in TWO years at the University of Georgia. Ranked No. 8 in the AJGA rankings.

Jack Nicklaus today on modern equipment: "I mean, the golf ball goes too far. It has gone too far for a while. Then they continue to lengthen things. But to me, lengthening only does a couple things: One, it takes longer to play. It costs more money, it costs more money, it costs more money. The whole thing, it just gets expensive."

Rep. Perez for president!

@JasonSobelGolf *first nine

You know what they say: The Masters doesn't really start until the front nine on Thursday.

@willknightsTFE Ha! Touche. I guess having you in a 'List' doesn't count. Followed!

@streetsigns Tell you what Greg, based on this tweet, I was pretty surprised to find out you don’t in fact follow me. But that’s okay. I hope you have a great weekend

Developing situation - it would appear that Egg Salad hat guy (who is back today) is married to the Lady in Pink that sits behind 16 tee
