Aaron Rodgers sat at that podium in Paris and said out loud what the corporate league office spends millions trying to sanitize.
The NFL talks endlessly about “player safety” and “expanding the global game.” But behind closed doors, owners scrapped player-friendly bye weeks, forced a brutal 17th regular-season game, and shipped franchises across oceans simply because there was another dollar to squeeze out of foreign TV markets.
While families and players navigate locked-down streets, civil tension, and grueling travel schedules, ownership sits in five-star suites counting international expansion checks.
Rodgers doesn't care about league fines anymore. He’s telling you the truth: in the modern NFL, the brand and the balance sheet come first. The humans on the field come second.

Kamala attempts to articulate the value of talking to children.
It doesn't go well:
"I mean, if you have the chance in whatever your, you know, your circle of life to just, you know, talk to like an eight year old, that's one of the best things, you know, someone who just has that twinkle."
"It hasn't been, you know, they haven't they they have the twinkle. They believe in, in all. And they're curious and - Oh, that gives me joy just because, you know, there is something I think about, looking at children to remind us of our natural nature, who we actually it is our nature, our - There is something about that."
This was said at a 'reproductive rights' event. The irony here is next level.
She somehow keeps managing to get worse at this.

Elon Musk called for Robert Reich to be jailed on Sunday after Reich called to seize Musk’s property. Musk is right. Reich said Democrats should start laying the groundwork to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX and turn them into a public corporation if they take the House or Senate. Musk responded: “Stealing companies is a serious crime. Prison for Reich.”
More Democrats are openly embracing communism now, and it needs to be legally responded to seriously. Anyone promoting communism and the taking of private property from law-abiding citizens as a penalty for success should be jailed or lose their citizenship.
Reich is a former U.S. Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, a longtime Berkeley professor, and a frequent MSNBC commentator who has spent decades pushing higher taxes and expanded government control. He framed the nationalization call as a response to Musk supporting Trump and cutting into USAID spending. He also called for canceling federal contracts with Musk’s companies, breaking them up, and applying a wealth tax. That’s not regulation. That’s confiscation of private property because Musk backed the candidate Reich doesn’t like.
The same government that needed SpaceX to bring astronauts home is now being told to take the company. Reich has pushed this kind of economic intervention for years. This is the same playbook, just said out loud. Nationalizing private companies because of political disagreement is the core of how socialist and communist systems operate. They start with “public good” language, then move the assets under government control. Once the state owns the means of production in a sector, the owner loses the company and the public loses the competition that built it. Reich is treating Musk’s success as the problem and state ownership as the solution. Calling for the government to seize private companies over political disagreement is an attack on the right to own what you build.
Democrats used to at least pretend they supported private enterprise with rules around it. Reich is dropping the pretense. If taking Starlink and SpaceX is on the table for a midterm majority, every business owner who crosses them should expect the same treatment. That isn’t policy. It’s a direct threat to private ownership. Anyone who openly calls for seizing private companies over politics is an enemy of the country and should be legally treated as one.

GTFOH. Secretary of the Navy @HungCao_VA served as an EOD diver aboard Navy salvage ships… the hardest-working, dirtiest, and most dangerous vessels in the peacetime fleet.
The man literally descended 116 feet into the Atlantic to recover the bodies of three presidential relatives from the cockpit of a small aircraft.
Think about that. Crawling through twisted aluminum, in near-zero visibility, to recover decomposing human remains from a submerged cockpit.
And if you think a pilot plunging into the ocean at night didn’t soiled himself in his final moments, you know precious little about aviation accidents, violent death, or the grim realities Navy divers confront.
He has not only touched human waste. He’s literally submerged himself in a confined space filled with it.
And how exactly do you think EOD divers remove bolts from the submerged mines they dive down to defuse?
Do you think they dive with an entire set of NAPA metric and SAE sockets all arranged in little plastic trays? Or maybe, just possibly, perhaps, they use a crescent wrench?

This dude, Robert Reich is a pimple on the ass of history. But his ideas are dangerous and authoritarian.

In 1961, a mafia in Kentucky drugged a former NFL quarterback and put him in bed with a stripper.
George Ratterman had played for the Cleveland Browns. Now he was running for sheriff, promising to shut down the gambling and prostitution that had made Newport, Kentucky the original “Sin City.”
The mob lured him to a hotel suite above the Tropicana nightclub and drugged him.
When he came to, he was undressed and in bed with a stripper named April Flowers. Three Newport cops burst in the room to arrest him.
But instead of ending his campaign, he fought back and the set-up fell apart.
A blood test found the drugs in his system and the stripper later admitted he was unconscious.
Ratterman won the election. And with help from FBI agents sent by Robert Kennedy, he cleaned out the town.
“In four years I got rid of the gambling and the prostitution,” he said, “and I didn’t get killed.”

Epic moment. France: 5 patriots vs 100 Antifa and immigrants who burn and destroy everything. They did not back down an inch —they fought like lions. Then the police intervene to defend them. This is France waking up. They are heroes.
