"You are a tool, nothing but a tool."
Scott Ritter, former US Marine intelligence officer, with a message for Filipinos :
> "You think America is your friend. So too did the Ukrainian people"
> "We are using you to gain some sort of momentary leverage over the Chinese"
> "when the tool ceases to be useful, we will discard you"
> "China is not your enemy. China is your neighbor"
Harsh words. Now look at the facts on the ground.
A US colony from 1898 to 1946.
Today : 9 EDCA sites open to US forces, a Typhon missile launcher on Luzon since April 2024, and in May the first Tomahawk ever fired from Philippine soil.
Every one of those points at China. Every one of them turns the Philippines into a target.
Whose war is being prepared in Luzon ? And who would pay for it ?

I still stand by my take that Muggsy has maybe the most impressive NBA career of all time. First round pick at 5’3, playing that long in a time when the league was very physical. You’ll never see someone his size in the nba again, let alone a 1st round pick.
Muggsy Bogues breaks down in tears during the press conference about his upcoming Charlotte @hornets jersey retirement.
Muggsy reflected on the support from his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland and Dunbar High School after the announcement of his honor.

The guy who kept Shaq and Charles Barkley in line on TV for 37 years used to spend his mornings shaving and dressing his son, who could barely move and breathed through a ventilator. Then he'd go to work and laugh with those guys all night like nothing was going on.
Tonight Ernie Johnson said this season will be his last, and Barkley tried to thank him on air and couldn't get the words out.
I don't think most people watching that clip know what Ernie was carrying all those years.
He and his wife Cheryl adopted Michael from an orphanage outside Bucharest in 1991, when he was 3. He had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and doctors didn't think he'd make it to his 20s. He lived to 33. When Ernie was home, getting Michael ready in the morning could take an hour and a half, and Ernie did the showering and shaving and dressing himself.
In 2006 he told viewers he had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and by the end of October he was back at the desk while he was still going through chemo.
When Michael died in 2021, Ernie wasn't on the show that week, and Shaq, Kenny and Chuck spent about six minutes trying to hold it together while they talked about a kid most of America never met.
Then last year he had heart bypass surgery, and this summer he turned 70.
Ernie's dad pitched in the big leagues and then called Braves games for decades, and he gave his son a rule Ernie's talked about forever: if somebody spikes you at second base, never rub.
If you've ever wondered why nobody's been able to copy Inside, that rule is a big part of it. Barkley could say the dumbest thing imaginable, Shaq could fall out of his chair, Kenny could go running to the big board, and Ernie would just pick it up and bring it back to basketball with that yellow legal pad. Those three got to be chaos because the guy in the middle never made his own stuff the show.
He still calls hosting a "get-to job," and he was calling it that the same year he buried his son.
So when Charles Barkley, who's roasted pretty much everybody alive on live TV, can't finish a sentence to the man, that's why.
Charles Barkley and the guys give Ernie Johnson his flowers. This is a must watch.

Martin Scorsese reveals that he was close to doing a Cleopatra movie with Angelina Jolie as Cleopatra, but they had to cancel it because Seth Rogen made fun of Kim Jong Un, who didn't have a sense of humor.
Francesca Scorsese: I feel like you've always wanted to make a big Roman epic. You were supposed to do Cleopatra.
Martin Scorsese: And then they made fun of Kim Jong Un, remember? And he got mad and he blew up everybody at Columbia.
Francesca Scorsese: Oh, that movie. Yeah, Seth Rogen, right?
Martin Scorsese: Seth. And then they ruined Cleopatra. We were going to do it, everything was ready on the script. Angelina Jolie was going to be Cleopatra VII. I'm so mad about it. Just because Kim Jong Un didn't have a sense of humor.
