Close to the end of handicap season… my most memorable ‘26 : 1. @cobbscreekfnd playing w/ my son (2yo) for his first “round” 2. Spring round at Huntingdon Valley CC - underrated Flynn 3. Perfect afternoon at Southern Hills w/best friends 4. Best public this year - Arcadia Bluffs

🚨Ronan Coughlan on his altercation with Max Dowman before his red card during Fleetwood’s victory against Arsenal: 🗣️ Ronan Coughlan: “I get sick when I see young players with so much pride and arrogance, but so little respect for the game. “We are Fleetwood, so what? We play in League Two, so what? It’s football, and we are here to compete too. Our league position doesn’t make us any less of a football club. “I saw him kick out at Neal, and it wasn’t a good one. I went over to check if Neal was okay, only for Max to lash out and say, ‘This is exactly why you are in League Two and we are Premier League champions.’ “I got angry and told him to shut up. Before I knew it, everyone had gathered around us, and the whole thing turned into a massive confrontation. “I accept responsibility for my reaction, and maybe I should have handled it better. But don’t ever think playing for Arsenal gives you the right to look down on us. “These lads work hard, sacrifice a lot and deserve respect just like everybody else. We might not have the money, facilities or superstar names, but we have pride. “And the funniest thing is that they came here as Premier League champions, expecting to beat a League Two side, yet we are the ones celebrating tonight. “Max needs to understand something: your badge might make you famous, but it doesn’t make you better than everybody else. Football has a way of humbling you.”

This hijacking story is INSANE but I’m looking forward to hearing the terrorists side of the story on Miss Rachel today.

Olive trees don’t grow in New York. You’d know that if you were a New Yorker. They need to be kept alive in a greenhouse with a lot of work and care but they will produce no fruit and ultimately die. It’s the perfect symbol of everything you believe in.
Last night I planted an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Palestinian families from Gaza.  May peace be our future.

This is Ms Rachel’s friend Motaz Azaiza—who said he got “goosebumps” over watching Hamas kill Jews and wishes he could have joined them. Ms Rachel is a fucking Nazi.
🧵 Two weeks ago, Motaz Azaiza gave an extremely revealing interview in Arabic, including details about what he did on October 7th. On October 7th, he woke up to the sound of rockets and initially didn't know what was happening. He started watching the videos and in his own words, the images gave him “goosebumps.” He also speaks about how despite the excitement, him and everyone else understood that what Hamas had done meant Gaza was finished. In summary, according to Motaz' own account, he didn't participate in the slaughter of humans and kidnapping of babies, not because he didn't want to, but because he got distracted and later was afraid to be seen in camera. He also kept evidence of those participating to "protect their lives" Why is Motaz allowed to live in America? @StateDept @SecRubio

“The holdout juror was a black man?” “Yes” “Woah, I’m gonna have to sit with that for just a second” And suddenly all the people ready to destroy this man because they thought he was white, will find him a hero. We are so racist that even our idea of justice hinges on a person’s skin color.
NEW: Lindsay Clancy juror Paula Devlin reveals on 'CBS Mornings' that the lone, male holdout juror who voted to find Clancy guilty of murdering her children was the *only* person of color -- a black man. The 11 not-guilty jurors -- who hectored him for a week to cave -- were all white.

Major cheat code in life: Be the one who reaches out. Text first. Call first. Plan first. Initialize first. Most people wait to be chosen. Be the chooser. Connection requires initiative. Friendship requires effort. Love requires action. Stop waiting to be picked. Start picking. Initiative is attractive.

The 90s were awesome. “John, we need a theme song for NBA basketball.” “Got it. How big?” “Full orchestra. French horns. Strings. Timpani. The fate of Western civilization hangs in the balance.” “Say no more.”

The Democratic Party is becoming the party of socialism. 58% view socialism positively. 50% view capitalism negatively. I’m a proud free market capitalist. This is lunacy.

When terrorists are celebrating who your candidate is…it ain’t good.
🚨INSANE: The official website of the Muslim Brotherhood is celebrating Abdul El-Sayed's victory in Michigan. Their article is titled "Abdul Rahman al-Sayyid conquers the Zionists and runs for the Senate"

Please remember: When Islamic terrorists commit 48,000+ attacks in 70+ countries since 9/11 alone, not a single Muslim is to blame (including the terrorists themselves). When Israel inadvertently kills innocent people whilst engaged in an existential war against maniacs, every single Jew is to blame including 3-year-olds in Australia and 90-year-olds in Lithuania. Questions?

I like a band with a good cover song repertoire. And surprises. I was not expecting a Mother Love Bone cover last night, or a bluegrass band that could seamlessly weave a grunge ballad into a setlist. I don’t have footage of last night, but here it was in Nashville last winter. Billy Strings “Crown of Thorns” 2/20/26

Hi @ZohranKMamdani, I did some math for you. Grocery runs on 1-3% margins. You’re promising 30% off. That gap doesn’t vanish, taxpayers cover it. Per store: $5.4M/year in sales, but a 30% discount means giving up $1.6M in revenue, a $1.5M annual loss, per store. Across 5 stores: $7.5-8M/year in ongoing losses, plus the $70M already approved to build them, plus zero rent and zero property tax. Total cost to taxpayers, year one: about $78 million and then a permanent tax year after that, forever. And that’s assuming government does everything perfectly and tell me the last time that happened in the history of humanity. And then you compete with private bodegas, small businesses paying full rent and taxes, run on the same razor-thin margins. Subsidized city stores selling 30% below market could push 10-20 bodegas citywide toward closing. This isn’t affordability. It’s a tax hike disguised as a discount and a private business killer affecting mostly hard working Hispanic  immigrants just trying to do the right thing and make a living. Shameful!
On Monday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani gave more details on how his city-run grocery stores will work. Mamdani announced that a core basket of everyday groceries will be 30 percent cheaper. More: abc7ny.com/post/city-owned-g…

Thank you @nytimes for your honest and accurate reporting. We must fight against the extremist religion of the car in question that caused it to plow into the LBTQ parade. Cars are born peaceful. They are self-radicalized online but vehicle extremists.
Breaking News: A car plowed through a park during Berlin’s biggest LGBTQ Pride event, killing at least one person and injuring more than a dozen others, city police officials said on Saturday. nyti.ms/3Rx0XDS
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The headline suggest the car had agency and chose to try and kill these people. The reality is, this was done by an Islamic terrorist. It was his choice, not the car's. foxnews.com/world/berlin-p…
