Both teams in the WNBA Finals ran off the court for the national anthem.
The Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries left before the Star Spangled Banner in Game 1 on Saturday, then did it again in Game 2 on Monday night.
The second the anthem ended, they jogged right back out to play.
That's not a coincidence. That's a statement. And it's a disgrace!
Mike Epps bought the entire hood he grew up in, including his grandmother’s roughly 120-year-old home, renovated every house, and then made them affordable for the people living there 🏘💯
I have to be honest with America today. This thing about Marco Rubio — it has been keeping me up at night. And I do not think even Trump has fully noticed it yet. Look at every single photo from China. Every meeting. Every ceremony. Every moment. Trump is there. And right beside him — always — is Marco Rubio. Not in front. Not behind. Right beside. Like a shield. Like a brother. Like a man who made one quiet decision before boarding that plane — wherever my President goes — I go too. And then I thought about what Marco left behind to be in those photos. His children are growing up right now. At the age when a child needs his father the most. And Marco is in Beijing. In meetings. In ceremonies. Away from home. Again. And he never mentions it. Never complains. Never once says — look what I am giving up for this country. He just shows up.
Every single time. And I thought about what Trump said when he asked that crowd — should JD get 2028. And the room erupted. And Trump smiled. And I thought — one day someone will ask the same question about Marco Rubio. And the answer will already be written in every photo from China.
In every room he entered beside his President. In every moment he chose America over his family. Without asking anyone to notice. Tonight say one prayer for Marco Rubio. For the son of a bartender who is standing in every room that matters. God bless you Marco. America sees you. 🙏🇺🇲 Do you see Marco Rubio as America’s future — tell me honestly below.
Reflecting on John 16 today. Jesus told His followers not to be surprised when they are hated, persecuted, or silenced. Allegiance to Him often brings opposition — not because of who we are, but because of who He is.
This warning doesn’t have to leave us fearful. It can make us more determined.
Does this truth frighten you, or does it strengthen your resolve to follow Christ?
“All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.” — John 16:1-3 (NIV).

My name is Lavern Spicer and today I wanna talk to my people about NIGGATIVITY.
That’s when we obsess over not being given things we think we deserve instead of appreciating all we have and how far we’ve come.
We have black superstars.
We have black politicians and leaders.
We have black millionaires and billionaires.
But we keep pretending that none of that has happened.
I like to call all that being NIGGATIVE.
We act like the white man is holding us back but he really ain’t.
We are holding ourselves back.
When we don’t go to school.
When we hanging out in the streets.
When we VOTE DEMOCRAT.
Those are our choices.
And that needs to change if we ever gonna get off the back foot in this country.
Enough with the everything “disproportionately affects Black people.”
Enough with the "everything is racist."
Enough with the "we’re owed reparations."
Don’t nobody owe us nothing - we have to earn it just like everybody else.
My brothers and sisters, I hope you hear this message in the spirit of love it’s coming from.
Because together we become a force to reckon with.
Divided we are lost.
Blessed Sunday y’all.
A 10-foot alligator grabbed a 73-year-old woman by the leg and dragged her 70 feet into a pond. Her neighbor jumped into the water to save her, but moments later, they were both pulled beneath the surface.
Carol DeLillo was doing yardwork near her home in South Carolina when the massive alligator suddenly attacked, clamping its jaws around her leg and dragging her into the water.
Nearby, Kenneth McCarter heard her cries for help. Without hesitation, he rushed into the pond and swam toward her.
Kenneth managed to grab Carol, but as he struggled to pull her free, they were both dragged underwater. He still refused to let go.
Fighting to keep Carol above the surface, Kenneth finally managed to pull her away from the alligator and toward shore, where his teenage son helped bring her to safety.
Carol suffered devastating injuries and needed multiple surgeries, but she survived. Kenneth also made it out alive.
Kenneth’s extraordinary courage deserves to be recognized.
Off-duty NYPD Detective Jose Mercedes was clearing out his trunk in the Bronx Friday afternoon when two guys tried to rob him.
They stabbed him seven times. He lived. Got out of the hospital Monday.
The two they just pulled out of a basement in Massachusetts are D’Angelo Caraballo and Sneider Mejia. Both from the Dominican Republic. Both here illegally. Both let in under Biden. Both already had records in New York.
DHS said sanctuary politicians refused to hand them to ICE, so they got released. Then they stabbed a cop.
Democrats in New York did this. Mamdani and Hochul won’t work with ICE, and a detective paid for it in blood.
Back the badge. Deport them.
This is why I had to run for Mayor, to do the things myself that I’ve been asking our leaders to do for years.
I got tired of asking. I got tired of waiting. Now I’m stepping up to do the work myself.
Chicagoans First. Let’s take our city back!
ICE agents just raided LAX airport pre-dawn and arrested a Chinese national! A leftist watched in horror as she demanded 911 before getting hauled away. Newsom CANNOT save her! Air travel is OFF LIMITS for illegal aliens. ICE is everywhere. KEEP IT UP! 👏🇺🇸
A mother and her two young boys were trapped inside an SUV after it crashed into a creek and started sinking.
She was able to get herself out, but her boys were still inside.
Five college girls driving to Savannah happened to see the wreck and immediately pulled over. They ran down to the water and started helping, getting the older boy out first.
Then they realized the 4-year-old was still trapped underwater in his car seat.
By the time they reached him, he had been submerged for several minutes and wasn’t breathing.
One of the girls had worked as a lifeguard, so she started CPR right there.
A short time later, the little boy began breathing again.
The five girls were Molly McCollum, Jane McArdle, Eleanor Cart, Clarke Jones and Kaitlyn Iannace.
They had simply been on their way to a weekend away.
Instead, they stopped and helped save an entire family.
Dale Schroeder worked 67 years as an Iowa carpenter. Never married. No kids. Two pairs of jeans. An old truck.
When he died in 2005, he left nearly $3 million and one instruction: send small-town kids to college.
33 strangers got full rides. No loans. No debt. They call themselves Dale’s Kids.
No press tour. No foundation named after himself while he was alive. Just a man who lived small and gave big.
That’s the America we used to celebrate. 🇺🇸
I’m excited to announce that I am joining the Trump Administration as Asst. White House Press Secretary.
It’s been an honor to report, travel, and cover this historic administration as Senior White House Correspondent for Real America’s Voice. My goal has always been to ask the questions that matter to real Americans and make sure their voices are heard.
I’m incredibly grateful to President Trump for this opportunity and his trust.
I’m looking forward to this next chapter - serving the American people and continuing to fight for the American Dream.
America First.
FROM RAV TO THE WHITE HOUSE 🇺🇸
Congratulations to @BeniRaeHarmony, who is joining the Trump administration as Assistant Press Secretary.
@ParkerSigg: “Not necessarily a goodbye… but a next step.”
From all of us at RAV: We’re incredibly proud of you! ❤️
When I was a backsliding, lukewarm, sin-loving Christian, the World loved me. I could do no wrong.
When I started talking about Jesus consistently, everything changed. The World washed its hands of me. Sellout. Uncle Tom. Coon. Controversial. Idiot. Bane of society.
🚨PRAYERS NEEDED: Please pray for DJ.🙏
DJ has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, which is bone cancer.
Please pray for his medical team for wisdom and guidance, for his family for strength and peace, and that God would use this to remind the world of His greatness and mercy.
And please pray most of all that DJ would feel God's love and His great compassion surrounding him right now.
Thank you so much for your prayers.🙏
🚨HERO: Flydubai captain Smit Machchhar: I knew these might be my final moments, I was ready to die. But I told myself: just open the door, just do it.
One of the greatest heroes in history!🙏
I wonder why Michelle Obama’s “growing up black” was so much worse than mine - when we’re just about the same age.
While she was fighting for her life in the white neighborhoods of Chicago...
...I was traveling across the city from my black neighborhood to my white junior high school on public transportation…alone.
When she was “seeing talented Black relatives stuck in limited jobs because society didn’t give them chances”…
…I was watching 3 of my BLACK cousins become successful educators in the Philadelphia school system…
…and my BLACK aunt become the legendary Patti LaBelle.
When she was “being judged as an “angry Black woman” whenever she was "confident or outspoken”…
…I was being hailed a genius for those very same things.
Yet she went on to become First Lady of the United States…
…and I’m just some guy saying stuff on X who’s so glad he didn’t vote for her husband.
Life is weird, isn’t it?
