[Oh No He Didn't @ohnohedidnt24]

If you hate KAT, I suggest you reconsider...

"I feel like other than losing a child there's nothing worse you could go through and it builds you up and it strengthens you beyond measure. That's why I got Philippians 4:13 and the date tattooed on my neck. I could do all things through Christ who strengthens me but I was strengthened on April 13 when I lost my mother. That's been my favorite Bible verse my whole entire life since I was little. I didn't know the significance it would have in my life when I became an adult. But what I do know is that I truly can do anything when I walk in faith, when I walk with the angels beside me. I feel anything's possible, I feel nothing's impossible...

I'm just grateful to be in this position because I know a lot of friends in mind that are not here to see this moment. I know a lot of people I love tremendously that aren't here to give me that hug or to give me that text message. I'm doing this for them. I do this for them, I do it for my mother's country, I do it for everybody in Dominican Republic, I do it for everyone in the city that welcomed my mother when she immigrated over. I do it for all my family in New Jersey that allowed me to be raised and allowed me to love this game of basketball and allowed me to be a kid with my mother and enjoy those times. It takes a tribe to get here and it takes a village and I'm so blessed that I've had the village I've had in my life to get to this point"

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

What’s that old expression? Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining? Well that applies here. The stock market is a direct reflection of Trumps 1st 100 days in office. Doesn’t mean it won’t get better and that we don’t need to be patient, but this is his market not Bidens

🔥 Aaron Rodgers Goes Off on the Media & the Two-Party System: ‘It's a F*cking Joke’

“Politics is an absolute sham...Nothing really ever changes. All they do is just talk about what they're gonna do and then life doesn't actually get better for any of us...And we're still just doing the same f*cking two-party system and not letting Bobby get in or anybody else...The media in general is scared of people they can't control.”

I KNOW A HERO WHEN I SEE ONE

The Washington Post names me along with @elonmusk as one of several businessmen who are using their “megaphones” to spread “narratives” about the assassination attempt on President Trump.

I’m not sure what “narratives” they’re referring to, but I know what I saw, and I know what the crowd in Butler witnessed live.

At it turns out, my father-in-law lives in Pennsylvania and he was at the rally on Saturday. When the shots rang out and Trump went down, he said pandemonium broke out around him. Everyone feared the worst. 

But then Trump rose. Covered in his own blood, resisting the secret service’s efforts to whisk him away to safety, Trump raised his fist defiantly, and the crowd could see him say: “Fight. Fight. Fight.”

Immediately the fear of the crowd dissipated, the chaotic uncertainty lifted, and it was replaced with steely resolve. The crowd responded back as one: “USA, USA, USA!” 

This is not a “narrative.” It is the truth. Trump stood defiant in the face of an assassin’s bullet. There is no way to fake courage like that.

It was more important for Trump to let the crowd know that he was unbowed and unbroken than to be taken to safety.

Donald Trump has already been in the fight of his life for months, as vindictive Democrats seek to imprison him, but on this day he came within inches of losing it. He has risked everything for this country. 

It is now up to us, the American people, to show him that he does not stand alone. Let us reject the lies, the hoaxes, the hate and the division that the media has spread about this brave man, and support his resounding victory in November.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

It is a hopeful sign for our country when a political opponent calls for one's protection. Maybe our country can unite after all.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

Now is the time for every American who loves our country to step back from the division, renounce all violence, and unite in prayer for President Trump and his family.

THE DEMOCRATS’ INSURRECTION AGAINST JOE BIDEN

Democratic Party operatives and their allies in the MSM are engaged in a full-scale insurrection to prevent the certification of President Biden as the Democratic nominee even though he won all the necessary votes in 50 state primary elections. This attempt at election interference is not motivated by the sudden discovery of Biden’s cognitive impairment (about which they’ve known, hidden, and gaslit for years) but rather by the fact that Biden is down in the polls and is likely to lose.

They call this “preserving democracy” but what they really mean is preserving their own power. As @balajis has pointed out, “democracy” means permanent rule by the Democratic Party just as “communism” meant permanent rule by the Communist Party.

In the name of democracy, this caste of Party operatives has also sought to censor true speech on the Internet, prosecute political opponents, and even remove their leading opponent’s name from the ballot. Having failed at that, they are looking for new trickery. Like a pack of hyenas, they will gladly turn on each other if it means one more feeding on the desiccated carcass of their own corrupt rule.

Voters should punish this mendacity up and down the ticket in November. This pack of liars knew about the president’s dangerous infirmity and covered it up until the lie could be sustained no more. People this hungry for power should never be entrusted with it.

The framers’ vision for American democracy was citizen-leaders who would return back to their communities and businesses, not permanent rule by a corrupt Party apparatus that undemocratically swaps out front men like avatars in a video game. There is only one way to restore true democracy as the founders intended it: vote out this entire pack of liars in November.
