The level of destruction from the tornado in Appleton, Menasha, and Neenah, Wisconsin is unfathomable.
This just doesn’t happen here. I’ve lived here for 45 years, I know.

BREAKING: Fort Worth Police Chief Eddie Garcia ADMITS that his officers were "wrong" after we exposed multiple Ft. Worth police violating Christians' Free Speech rights.
He now claims he is taking "accountability" by giving 1st Amendment refresher training to officers.
"The way that we were describing what is lawful, what is not lawful... we were wrong in the manner in which we communicated that. Certainly, we're going to take accountability for it."
These officers have already violated people's rights. They should be relieved of duty immediately.

Possibly Trump’s greatest speech yet:
“You can be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal to America. You can be a Communist, or you can be a Patriot. You cannot be both.”
Inject this into me veins!
12-year-old bird-calling prodigy Samuel Henderson just dropped the ultimate patriotic flex. 🦅 🇺🇸
He kicks it off with a heartfelt “Happy 250th Birthday, America” — then unleashes an insane medley of bird calls so spot-on they summon the real deal.
After Samuel nails a cardinal call perfectly, a local cardinal in the background sings right back at him. 😆
That’s talent! This kid doesn’t just imitate nature — he talks to it. 🐦 💥
Legendary QB Tom Brady, says “There’s no greater passer of the football than #Packers Aaron Rodgers. You see everyone do it, and then you see one person, throw the ball that much better, Aaron Rodgers was incredible.”

#Lions CB Terrion Arnold has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery and kidnapping in Tampa, Florida, earlier this year, and is facing multiple felony charges that carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The case will be filed with @HillsboroughSAO.
@realjesseonfire@Justin_Gaethje And knowing that Topuria laid down the flower for Gaethje’s funeral.
Then Gaethje walked out to Johnny Cash’s “Ain’t No Grave Can Hold My Body Down.”
Us career fans of this violent man knew what was about to happen…

The UFC is hosting fights at the White House tonight.
Here's what you need to know:
1. The UFC is spending $60 million to put on this event.
That's way more than the $3-4 million the company typically spends to put on an event and three times the $20 million it spent at the Las Vegas Sphere in 2024.
2. The UFC sold $30 million in corporate sponsorship deals — Ram Trucks, Crypto(.)com, Polymarket, Bud Light — with individual packages selling for $1.5 million.
3. Since tickets are being given out for free, the event is expected to lose about $30 million.
4. The UFC's $7.7 billion media rights deal with Paramount allows some fights to be simulcast on CBS, but tonight's entire event will only be available on the Paramount+ streaming service.
5. There will be 4,000 people on the South Lawn for the event — Trump controls about 1,000 tickets, with Dana White and Ari Emanuel controlling another 500 or so. The remaining seats were given to active duty military members. These military members had to meet body composition standards and pay for their own travel.
6. The UFC installed a giant arch over the octagon known as the Claw. The structure is massive — 60 tons, 154 feet wide, and 92 feet high, with a 100-by-100-foot canopy and 800 lighting fixtures — and since the UFC isn't allowed to dig into the South Lawn, engineers added 40 tons of weight to each leg to hold it down.
7. The Claw was flown from Belgium to Philadelphia, test-assembled in Philly, and then trucked down to DC. Each truck was placed in storage before being searched by the Secret Service, and the UFC needed 38 days to assemble everything (compared to their normal 2 days).
8. The UFC is covering all production costs, but taxpayers are still on the hook for $10-12 million in supplemental security costs. The White House says this money would have been spent anyway and that it comes from a federal fund (approved by Congress) specifically allocated for events surrounding the country's 250th birthday.
9. Since attendance on the South Lawn is invite-only (and limited to 4,000 people), the UFC is holding a watch party at the Eliipise. Roughly 85,000 tickets have been distributed for free, and while the UFC plans to sell food, beverages, and merchandise, Dana White told ESPN that "the government will get a piece of it."
10. Every fighter will be wearing custom red, white, and blue gloves with an American flag stitched on the wrist.
BONUS: Trump's latest financial disclosure indicates that he purchased up to $50,000 in TKO stock, the parent company of the UFC. Some say this is a conflict of interest, while others claim it is insignificant, given that his full financial disclosure included over 3,700 stock and bond trades worth more than $220 million.

I KNEW IT
As soon as I heard that voice, I knew it was Cole Hauser, but I couldn’t confirm it because his name wasn’t on it anywhere and it took me forever to confirm it.
I think it’s cool that they used his voice because @colehauser has kinda become a representation of what a good decent man should be, in real life and on TV as Rip Wheeler.
“What makes a good man” being a good father, a good husband, and someone who unabashedly loves their country for what it stands for.

Gaethje walkout is better than any tracking cam movie shots. No reshots. One take. Real time. Most badass shit I've ever seen. Documentary renegade live film making.
