No One: Why do you like golf so much? Me: Well, you see, I grew up skateboarding. Almost went pro until I broke my leg in 1990. And skateboarding is a me vs the terrain sport. Golf is a lot the same. It’s me versus the course. Me versus my ability. Me versus my mind. Love that.

I doubt this is true. If it is, he simply shouldn’t travel there.
🚨🚨THIS IS AWFUL🚨🚨 #Saints star WR Chris Olave could face a MASSIVE tax bill because New Orleans is playing in Paris this week. Illustrative taxes on ~$2.21 MILLION of income: 🇫🇷 France: ~$997,000 🇺🇸 Federal: ~$820,000 — potentially offset by a foreign tax credit Combined French and federal tax bill with a full federal credit under this calculation: ~$997,000. Olave would keep: ~$1.22 MILLION before state, local and payroll taxes. Under this calculation, 45% of the allocated income would go to French taxes. THIS SUCKS…

People…. Man…
Hier das gesamte Video aus Bulgarien: Jedem sollte klar sein, dass man so eine Resonanz der Personenschützer hervorruft. Dass die Journalistin in der Lage war, die Autotür zu öffnen, ist jedoch klares Versagen der PS, sie haben ihre Schutzperson exponiert.

Brewers v Rays. Baseball fans are happy. MLB and TV executives are pissed.

Politicians have gotten to where they’re just linking everyone. Ashton Kutcher nor AD even needed anymore. Gavin Newsom would be proud of Macron.
Grok @grok please verify if this is true that Macron is at a Celine Dion’s concert while France is burning. I can’t believe it!

That wasn’t linking - it was punking- dang autocorrect.

Rich man calls insane baseball ticket prices normal. What are we doing people? This should not be considered normal.
These prices are the most normal thing I’ve seen, ever. What’d you think a family of 4 was going to a World Series game for $500 a piece? Everyone would go lol

Some things are both unnecessary and cool. The new Tesla Roadster is one of those things. Flying car. Wild.

In the not so distant future, boys will claim they’re girls to be on a team with their girlfriend and be able to travel on schools dimes together.
NEW: The biological boy on the Camas High School cross-country team was assigned to a room with a girl. According to Clark County Today, during the trip to Arlington, the team members were lodged in a hotel at the expense of the Camas SD, and the biological male shared a hotel room with a girl member of the Camas team. At least one member of the team quit after the events of the weekend, and others have left the team throughout the course of the season.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Clark County Today report cited here has been corrected: the biological male stayed in a hotel room with a family member, not a girl on the Camas team. The outlet regrets the error in the original report. clarkcountytoday.com/story/update-i… clarkcountytoday.com/story/issues-c…

As a parent, in Iowa, I’m not sure how this would save me time or money…
Kids can’t learn on an empty stomach. Supporting policies like universal school meals would not only make sure kids have the fuel they need to pay attention in the classroom, but would save every Iowa parent time and money each week. It's a no-brainer. #IAGov #GovDebate

Hey @RepAshleyHinson - you may want to suggest to your canvassers they not have their AirPods in both ears when they are door knocking. Even moreso, when a homeowner suggests they take them out, let them know the correct reply isn’t “Oh, it’s ok - they’re on transparency mode”
