The drink was truly awful IMO; however, Lipton Brisk Iced Tea commercial featuring Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle, Billy Martin, and George Steinbrenner, with the voice of Phil Rizzuto was one of the best commercials while I was growing
"I bet you Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and maybe even Manu Ginobili have been in his ear.. and talked to him about 2013. When they blew it against the Heat and then they came back the next year with a vengeance."
@Chris_Brussard on how Wemby should react this season.
Percentage who say they are extremely or very proud to be American:
2001:
🟥Republicans: 90%
🟦Democrats: 85%
2026:
🟥Republicans: 92% (+0)
🟦Democrats: 36% (-56)
The Democrat change in just 25 years is insane.
So telling…
🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...
...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY
He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."
His name is Rishi Sharma.
He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.
He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.
He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...
...FOR FREE
So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.
Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.
He does it out of pure gratitude.
In his words:
"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."
As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:
"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."
THAT is America.
250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...
God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
THIS Eagle design was adopted by the United States of America in 1782.
The Nazi Imperial Eagle some of you freaks are obsessed with came roughly 150 years later.
It’s ok to be wrong.
Love being American and our rich history together.
CNN: "We are just living in such a different universe if you‘re a Republican versus a Democrat, on the basic fundamental question of being proud to be an American."
Democrat leaders are brainwashing their voters to hate America.
The World Cup has destroyed decades of leftist propaganda about the United States in the past week or so.
Europeans making videos on social media about their visit has been eye opening for the world.

Australian discovers Texas Roadhouse…
First, he calls it a “fancy restaurant,” and he couldn’t be more wrong. Texas Roadhouse isn’t just a fancy ole restaurant. It’s a giant slice of heaven brought down to earth.
This man loves the bread, the free refills, the service.
In response to those outside the US complaining about tipping there: “You don’t have to tip… you WANT to tip. These are the most wonderful people on earth.”
“I don’t even know why some of you Americans are so angry all the time; you guys have Texas Roadhouse in your country.”
You got that right. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
#worldcup #usa
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.
Write that down. 🦋
US can hold Olympics, FIFA WC, NHL playoffs, NBA finals, MLB, NFL and college football all at the same time without any stress on the cities/states and will each game going sold out even at elevated prices!
The wealth in America is unmatched. The sports infrastructure in America is unmatched
Watching fans from all over the world experience America has been one of the coolest parts of this World Cup.
People are losing their minds over things most of us don’t even think about anymore:
- Free chips and salsa.
- Buc-ee’s.
- Massive grocery stores.
- Six-lane highways.
- Air conditioning everywhere.
- Endless refills.
Meanwhile, the tournament is being played in world-class stadiums that were already built. No rushed construction. No billion-dollar vanity projects.
It’s hard to ignore what visitors keep saying: the infrastructure is incredible, the people are welcoming, and the scale of everything is unlike anything they’ve seen before.
Sometimes it takes seeing your country through someone else’s eyes to appreciate what we have.
We take a lot of it for granted.
Fouls last night:
Knicks 23
Spurs 21
Yet all we hear today is about the officiating because Victor shoved Brunson off of him with his hand ( singular — not hands), after Brunson was tugging on his jersey.
Knicks fans and ESPN are the worst.
