3 Fights. 3 Wins. 39 Weeks. 🥊🏆 Captured a world title and successfully defended it. Still undefeated! 2025 taught me lessons. 2026 gave me blessings. 🙏🏾 Grateful for the journey, but the story is far from over. #ANDSTILL #SemperFi 🇺🇸

Lock a rat in a cage and it chooses the drug. Give it a life and it walks right past it. If you’re lonely, the scroll feels like company. If you’re bored, it feels like a life. Change what’s in your feed. Deepstash. 📲

Donald Trump just had a mental breakdown on Fox News over the midterm elections.. MAGA, this is what “cope” and “crying harder” looks like.

Rocky III is a beautiful film in ways that are different than the first Rocky, which won the Oscar for Best Picture. Rocky III explores what it means to have something to lose & to fight to protect it, whereas the original film is more about an underdog’s climb to the top. Both explore powerful themes. But Rocky III doesn’t seem to get the same recognition. I think this film is nearly flawless.

Terence Crawford bloodied my nose in the first 30 seconds of our spar. I was a young fighter in a North Omaha gym. Never heard of the guy they called Bud. He saw I was a southpaw, switched to southpaw too, and stuck me with one jab. I was bleeding like a stuck pig.

All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.

🚨Saudi Arabia has issued a “hostile aerial threat” warning in Riyadh, just days before Canelo Alvarez and Christian Mbilli are scheduled to meet for the WBC super middleweight title in the Saudi capital. An emergency alert sent to mobile phones in Riyadh reads: “Warning. City of Riyadh is under a hostile aerial threat. Please remain calm, stay indoors or in a safe place away from windows and doors, and follow the instructions of Civil Defense.”

Canelo fought on ‘Boxeo Telemundo’ and ‘Solo Boxeo.’ Then, he fought on HBO’s ‘Boxing After Dark’ before becoming a household name on HBO & Showtime PPV. The #boxing ‘stars’ of today can actually learn a thing or two from the way Canelo developed into an actual star in the sport.
Penning a story on Canelo Alvarez, seriously, he is the last fighter who was developed under the 'old' system of fighting on regional networks, then moving up to cable, and a premium network and if good enough, pay-per-view. It was an organic process that weeded out those who weren't good enough. And he became relevant through activity and longetivity. He will have over 70 fights when his career is over. The next generation, most will struggle to get to 40, much less 50. This is how this became a niche sport. I really think Canelo might be the last of his kind. #boxing

I have received a statement from DHS regarding Sam Sey: “On October 21, ICE arrested Samuel Sey, an illegal alien from Ghana, at the Columbus International Airport. Sey entered the United States legally in 2022 but overstayed his length of admission by over four years, in violation of our nation’s laws. Sey has no pending applications and accepted voluntary departure. He will remain in ICE custody until removed from the United States.   “We do not pick and choose which laws to enforce or where to enforce them.   “We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $3,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.” - DHS SPOX As I get more information, I will update.
