Introduction to me. I'm an old, retired janitor/locksmith/ banker/attorney. I love my one & only wife and my 4 adult kids. I'm a USMC brat. I swim and go to church. I lean center/left politically but don't hate the right. I've had 4 different "X" accounts since 2009.

1. Ai is out of control
2. The office is amazing and thus could totally have been an episode.
3. I was not prepared for kevin…
Born in So Africa, orphaned at 12, Tolkien fought at the Battle of the Somme, became an Oxford professor, invented languages, translated ancient texts like Beowulf, & formed the Inklings group with C.S. Lewis.
And this doesn't touch on his legendary romance of Edith Bratt

It is heartbreaking to see antisemitism in my hometown. I was born in Wyncote, near Philadelphia, and it makes me angry and ashamed to see hatred tolerated there.
The numbers show this is not an abstract concern. The Anti-Defamation League recorded 465 antisemitic incidents across Pennsylvania in 2024, an 18% increase over 2023. It tracked 189 incidents in Philadelphia and 51 in Montgomery County. These reports include harassment, vandalism, and assault; they are not all classified as crimes. (adl.org, philadelphia.adl.org)
Hateful expression harms more than its immediate target. In a 2025 survey of Jewish Americans, 79% said they were concerned about antisemitism, and 52% said they had worried about their personal safety because of their identity. Nearly half reported taking steps to increase their security. A research review also found that exposure to hate is associated with worse psychological well-being, more negative stereotypes, and less trust between groups. (philadelphia.adl.org, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
It takes me back to the racism I experienced in the 1960s: signs throughout the South declaring that Black people could be refused service, along with separate “white” and “colored” signs on bathrooms and drinking fountains,”no niggers”. I remember what that hatred looked and felt like. We cannot accept it in any form, directed at any people.
I wish I could be there to stand with those protesting HATE. I am asking elected officials and other leaders in Philadelphia: Where are the clear statements condemning antisemitism? When hateful language is excused or repeated, it can make hostility seem acceptable and deepen fear and division. Leaders should speak plainly and consistently: antisemitism and hate have no place in our communities.
What the hell? We have to speak up.

Nice work here - using the more objective marble scoring model proposed by @iowahawkblog
Subjectively, I agree that UTexas and Bama are overrated. I think UTenn is fine. My daughter went to Texas Tech, but bias aside, I think they aren't that strong.
CFP vs AP vs ESPN's fan blind resume, against our marble standings. The committee picks the field, so we graded it.
🔴 Overrated: 3 SEC
Alabama, Texas, Tennessee
🔵 Underrated: 2 Big Ten, 1 Big 12, 1 ACC
Wake Forest, UCLA, USC, Texas Tech

In 2020, the GOP sanctioned Rep. Steve King (Iowa) for antisemitism, among other things.
In 2026, the DEM party removed Haley Stevens from her party because she opposed an antisemite.

I am generally skeptical about James O'Keefe.
But everything he reports in this video is true. Back in May 2025, I sat in a room with two of Ilhan's people and they described exactly this operation. It is robust and well-staffed. This is SOP in Minnesota.
🚨THEY FILLED THE CAR WITH BALLOTS… AND SAID WHO WAS DOING IT
James O’Keefe’s undercover cameras caught it cold.
A ballot harvester in Minnesota shows the trunk and dashboard packed:
“You can see my car is full. All these here are absentee ballots. Can’t you see? Look at all these. My car is full.”
300 in one haul.
When asked who fills them out: “People who work with Ilhan and other candidates… they work for them.”
Cash changes hands. Elders get visited. Blank or open ballots leave the building. Minnesota law limits how many you can carry. Federal law bans the pay-to-vote scheme. None of it mattered.
This is the same machine still fighting every single effort to require citizenship proof and clean the rolls. The same people who call election security “disenfranchisement.”
They never stopped. They just got quieter about the receipts.
Pass the SAVE Act.
Clean the rolls.
End the harvest.
The patriots are done pretending this is normal.

Freddie Freeman says his 69 year old dad still throws him batting practice everyday because he believes not everything has to be about getting better, and says the hour they spend together is worth more than any amount of reps with a real pitcher or coach
“When people ask me, ‘What advice do you have for my 10-year-old?’ I say, ‘It’s not for the 10-year-old. It’s for you, the parent.’ My dad loved practicing and throwing batting practice and doing those kinds of things with me every single day. When you have a parent that loves it just as much as I loved it, it’s kind of a match made in heaven.”
“My dad was the one that led me to baseball, and then obviously I just loved it. He was fueling that fire. He still throws me batting practice to this day. In the offseason, I’ll take about two months off baseball activities. Then in January I’ll go to my high school in Orange County, and we’ll spend an hour together. I work out with him and he throws me batting practice.”
“He’s 69 years old and he still throws. The last two years he goes, ‘Freddie, I’m not very good anymore.’ And I said, ‘Dad, that’s not the thing. It’s not about that. It’s about the hour we spend together.’”
“I’ll figure it out in spring training. I hit every day there. I just want to hit with you. This is our thing. He thinks he’s not very good, but I think he’s great.”

Everybody act tough when they’re up 🤣
I really don't understand "conservatives." It makes no sense to support antisemites just because you hate Trump. All these people with the Bulwark, Tucker Carlson... This is crazy. (Yes, I follow and like a lot of conservatives who haven't gone crazy.)

If Palestinians are indigenous to Gaza:
1. Then why did the ancient 6th-century mosaic floor discovered on a Gaza beach feature King David playing a harp, Hebrew inscriptions, and a menorah?
2. Then why were the original Philistines an extinct Greek seafaring people from Crete who spoke an Aegean language, rather than Arabs who arrived 1,800 years later from the Arabian Peninsula?
3. Then why was Gaza home to an active Jewish community for over 3,000 years, until Arab pogroms ethnically cleansed the Jews in 1929?
Who are the colonizers again?

In 1990, South Africa was by far the most advanced nation on the entire continent…
They had a vast manufacturing base, extensive transportation network, a developed financial sector, and even a nuclear weapons program.

When the Jeremiah Wright story broke in 2008, Obama delivered a speech explaining exactly why Wright’s anti-American garbage was wrong. That ended the crisis. Abdul has not done anything like that. So what are Haley’s supporters supposed to think. He won a 51-49 primary and has done nothing to win over the 49. That’s not Haley’s fault. That’s on Abdul.

Actually it's only a coup if it comes from the euroskeptical region of the right, anything else is just a sparkling constitutional crisis.
