Roll call. When did your Michigan basketball fandom start!? For me, at 8 years of age, the great 1976 Michigan national runner-up squad, led by Ricky Green and Phil Hubbard! Go Blue!

If you don’t know who Timothy Snyder is, suffice it to say he is one of the brightest minds among us. If he is warning of a potential coup, America beware.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-cou…

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

It's gotta suck to be a Trump supporter. You have to pretend your life is getting better while it's getting worse and defend a child murderer pedophile.

So many previous MAGA supporters are expressing their buyers’s remorse right now. Here’s another one. MAGA was the Great American con trick. “What you got was conned…and you are too f*****g embarrassed to admit it.”

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAMEDAY

So, if I got that right, here's the narrative: - A US F-15E fighter jet got shot down over Iran, despite Trump saying 2 days beforehand in his nationwide address that Iran has "no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated." (apnews.com/article/donald…) - The plane's weapons systems officer - a "highly respected Colonel," according to Trump - ejected from the plane and got "seriously wounded" (still according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116351956955900185" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…) - He still managed to "hike up a 7,000-foot [2.1km] mountain ridgeline and hide in a crevice" in the Zagros Mountains, despite his wounds (time.com/article/2026/0…) - U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones started killing all "Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometers of [the American's location]" (x.com/ByChrisGordon/…) - To retrieve him the U.S. managed to seize an "abandoned airport," 200 miles deep inside Iran, near Isfahan (bbc.com/news/articles/…), which happens to be where Iran's largest atomic scientific center is located (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isfahan_N…) - They landed two MC-130 military transport planes in that airport (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) in an operation involving "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" (time.com/article/2026/0…) - Both MC-130 planes got "stuck in the sand" and the U.S. destroyed them themselves "to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands" (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - They deployed "three new aircraft to extract all the U.S. personnel" on the ground (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - There are videos circulating online of "heavy clashes" with presumably Iranian missiles raining down in Kohgiluyeh County, in the Zagros Mountains during that night (x.com/Afshin_Ismaeli…) - Iran sent pictures of the aftermath at the "abandoned airport" and it's a sight of utter destruction, with US plane and MH-6 helicopter parts scattered all over the ground, still smoking (turkiyetoday.com/region/wreckag…). Iran claims they are the ones who in fact destroyed all the aircraft. - Meanwhile a second U.S. plane, an A-10 Warthog, also crashed on Friday near the Strait of Hormuz according to two U.S. officials speaking to the NYT (#47863db0-d61e-51bf-b7e1-6c4a9dc988e7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/04/0…). In that instance too the lone pilot was apparently "safely rescued." - In all this, after the multiple planes and helicopters destroyed or shot down, the documented heavy clashes, the "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" operating deep inside Iran, not a single US soldier was reported killed "or even wounded" (according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…). - And the 'highly respected Colonel' this was all for? No name. No photo. No interview. Nobody has spoken to him nor knows who he is. So to sum up: anti-aircraft equipment that supposedly didn't exist shot down an F-15 (and, apparently, an A-10 Warthog the same day). A seriously wounded man climbed a 2.1km mountain. The US seized an airfield 200 miles inside a country it's at war with, next to one of its most strategic nuclear sites, and deployed hundreds of troops all apparently unimpeded. Lost two planes to "sand" and destroyed their own helicopters. Videos show heavy clashes, missiles raining down - but not a single person got "even wounded". And the man at the center of it all? Nobody knows who he is, completely anonymous, zero pictures, but Trump says he is "SAFE and SOUND." And so is the rescued A-10 Warthog pilot, who also remains anonymous. Trump concludes this all proves the US has "achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies" (@realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…), despite the whole episode only happening because Iran shot his planes out of the sky. Basically, the only thing that's "overwhelming" here is the audacity of the storytelling...

Michigan dancing into the Natty

Trump administration is lying and concealing almost everything about the Trump-Iran war. More Americans have been killed than they admit. More planes have been lost than they admit. More money has been spent than they admit. Iran still has air defenses and will not surrender

Don’t know who this guy is. I assume he’s British. But he calls it right every time, with knowledge and facts.

I’m a 6 time Trump voter. I have devoted thousands of hours to defending him and helping him get elected… That being said: Invoke the 25th and let’s try to salvage anything we can from this disaster. America first.

Karoline Leavitt: “It’s hard for President Trump to make key decisions on Iran when he doesn’t have enough intelligence.”

No lies detected. These people screwed the country. All of us are suffering for their stupidity.

DEAR MR. TRUMP, THANK YOU FOR SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION TO THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE COMMITTEE. WHILE WE REVIEW YOUR "LIVING IN HELL" STATEMENT OF LOVE AND PEACE, WE SUGGEST YOU APPLY TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURT AT THE HAGUE. YOU ARE EXACTLY WHO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.

Losing a ton of followers. Don't care. I'm right. You're wrong. This war is an abomination and Trump is clearly insane. Keep clapping for the demise of our country. This ain't MAGA. This ain't America First. If you haven't figured out that you've been played by now you never will

Sad state of affairs: Kharchenkov played professionally for FC Bayern Munich. Krivas played pro basketball in Lithuania for FOUR YEARS prior to enrolling at Arizona 3 years ago. And Dell’Orso, Tobe Awaka and Jaden Bradley are all transfers, and they STILL couldn’t make a Final Four game competitive.

@BoardGeniuses Funny how Michigan "bought" a title but aren't even top 5 in NIL spending. They are middle of the pack with other top 10 programs. Dusty May is just better at finding talent.
