🚨 NEW: Mayor Zohran Mamdani has unveiled a plan to expand New York City’s tree canopy to 30% by 2040.
The plan treats trees as critical infrastructure, cooling heat-vulnerable neighborhoods, cleaning the air, absorbing stormwater and making every borough more livable.
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
Cruz: Fidel Castro was a billionaire. Putin is a billionaire. The leaders of communist regimes are always rich. They steal and rob from those they govern.
IMHO, a lot of conservatives are missing the Biblical forest for the woke trees in Nolan's Odyssey. Yes, the casting of Elliot Page is silly and egregious. But here's the thing: Nolan's "The Odyssey" is an apologia for Christian morality poured into a Greek vase.
The entire movie is rooted in what Nolan terms "Zeus' law." That law is: "Treat others as you would want to be treated, because anyone might be a god." Now, clearly, there's nothing like that in Greek mythology. It's not implicit in Homer. It's a direct rip from Biblical morality, substituting "because anyone might be a god" for "because man was made in the image of God."
Nolan then takes this rule and uses it as his moral glue: the idea is that Odysseus, in utilizing the Trojan Horse, violated Zeus' law and led to full-scale slaughter. That sin has led to the unleashing of broader globalized sin (the "sea peoples" who don't respect Zeus' law and are invading surrounding areas). This is a highly Biblical message: that sin is infectious, and that sin also affects the world at large, not just the sinner.
Odysseus has sinned, and he must atone for that sin through self-imposed exile. He must also sacrifice his own aspirations to restore the possibility of a moral universe: because he has unleashed catastrophic violence and violation of Zeus' law -- manifest in the suitors' cynical use of Zeus' law to eat Penelope out of house and home -- he must violate Zeus' law one last time and then accept the penalty, which is exile.
This is a not only a movie that will make millions of people go read classical literature again. It also reinforces the idea that violation of the Golden Rule has disastrous consequences.
I dunno. I'd consider that, on balance, a large-scale win for civilizational values, when weighed against the woke casting of Elliot Page or the dumbass discussion over whether Lupita Nyongo is good-looking enough (she is, and for the record Diane Kruger is German, not Greek).

Minnesota Star Tribune: Mike Lindell, Trump’s pick for Minnesota governor, isn’t registered to vote in Minnesota
Texas lists an active voter registration for the Republican businessman, who has drawn criticism for moving there and returning.

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"
A German program tracked 14,000 of its most elite 12-year-old soccer players. 0.6% became pros.
We're terrible at spotting talent and it's costing us our best players before they ever develop.

We’ve been sold this myth our entire lives.
When a star athlete is asked how they reached the mountaintop, the answer is always, “I outworked my competition.”
When a championship coach is asked how his team got there, the answer is always, “We outworked our competition.” Sometimes the coach brags about the culture HE CREATED… in spite of the fact that winning is the quickest, simplest way to create a winning culture.
The answer to losing is always more hard work.
If you lose, you lacked the discipline, grit, and character required to win. You weren’t willing to do the work required.

Closest thing to a realistic tackle drill I’ve seen. Most drills have you gather right on top of the runner, so you’re slowing down at the exact moment he’s speeding up. The short stride is there to set your angle, and the runner makes his cut 4 to 6 yards out. Win it there, not at contact.
