THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.
What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."
😁Happy (American) Friday! 🇺🇸
It's been a really fun week to be an 🇺🇸 cycling fan (in my humble opinion of course!)
Almost every stage of the Tour de France has featured an American rider playing a meaningful role—whether it's chasing breakaways, setting up teammates, fighting for stage results, or even spending time near the top of the GC.
At the same time, the Tour of Austria has been just as entertaining.
Neilson Powless returned to racing in style with a Stage 3 victory today after months away through injury. Kevin Vermaerke still sits 2nd overall, AJ August is right behind him, and there are still two stages left to race.
I'm only a few months into really following pro cycling closely, but one thing I've already come to appreciate is that success isn't measured only by the biggest trophies. Americans may not be collecting Grand Tour titles right now, but they're showing up, animating races, winning stages, and proving they belong at the highest level. It makes me excited for what the second half of the season could bring.
For now, though, I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the Tour of Austria...and, of course, the Tour de France even if some of you keep reminding me it's already over. 😂

So far in 2026, Tadej Pogačar has amassed 15 wins in 22 race days, but it's not stats like that which astound me most.
The one that always stands out to me is this:
Since his first year junior in 2015, he's started 46 UCI ranked stage races, a total of 376 days. Not once has he DNF'd. Not once has he got sick enough or crashed hard enough to withdraw from a stage race in almost 12 years.
In a sport as dangerous, unpredictable and brutal as cycling, that is mind boggling. It's one of his strongest assets but rarely talked about.

Mitch McConnell has been MIA for WEEKS after he was found unconscious.
His staff are completely silent. His libtard daughter deactivated his social media accounts. His CCP wife has fled the United States. AND The Hill just accidentally dropped a pre-written “lookback” memoriam on Mitch McConnell — classic premature obituary move.
Which begs the question: Is he even ALIVE?
Are they just trying to hide the body to sneak past Kentucky’s August 3rd cutoff?
After that date, McConnell’s establishment cronies can block a pro-Trump America First candidate from taking the seat and instead ram through one of their own RINO picks.
This is a morbid, yet classic swamp move to screw over the voters.
Kentucky deserves the truth NOW.
If Communists can take over New York, the world’s leading global financial center, they can take over anywhere.
If Islamists can take over New York, a quarter of a century after the 9/11 atrocities, they can take over anywhere.
I don't understand how Mads Pedersen is 3/1 favourite for today, there's no way he stays in the front over the final climb of the day, whether he's in the break with climbers/puncheurs or in the peloton in full attack 35kms from the finish
The World Cup is exposing these absolute truths:
1. The U.S. is awesome. Everybody else is figuring that out.
2. Mexico is a cartel state.
3. Canada and Australia suck.
4. Japan is really nice.
5. Norway is fun.
6. Egyptians are jihadists.
7. Germany has Freddy.
8. Europe is in decline.
