they try so hard to dehumanize her and make her out to be this evil, despicable person. meanwhile? she’s watching the football game from the children’s hospital with all the kids who are sick. because THAT is who caitlin clark is. proud as ever, 22.💛🖤
Watching the Iowa michigan game back is quite the experience. If you rolled the tape silently, you would never believe Iowa won that game.
Bryce played by far his best game. Big time throws and looked in control. Off Line had probably their best day. Michigan Def was totally dominant.
But that’s always the challenge playing Iowa. Their style of play, discipline, clock management coaching decisions, and special teams all play major factors and did in yesterday’s game.
Kirk Ferentz is an all time legend. This was a huge win for him and his team and they did it playing classic Iowa football. All the credit in the world to the Hawkeyes for never quitting and finding a way to get it done

Oh yes one more thing…..
Christianity is not a pacifist religion.
People love to twist “turn the other cheek” as if Christ was telling His followers to be weak, timid and helpless in the face of evil. He wasn't. Christ was teaching self-control, not cowardice. It was about personal humility, not surrendering your home, your people or your faith to wickedness.
Christianity has never been pacifist. The Old Testament is filled with men of God who fought for righteousness: Joshua, David, Gideon and the Maccabees. The New Testament does not erase that reality. When Paul wrote that rulers “bear not the sword in vain,” he made it clear that force, rightly used, is ordained by God to punish evil and protect the innocent.
The great Church Fathers understood this. Augustine and Aquinas both taught that a just war is not sinful. A Christian can, and sometimes must, fight when justice and the innocent are under attack. That is not bloodlust. It is duty.
Loving your enemy does not mean surrendering to him. It means refusing to hate him even as you stop him. There is a difference between mercy and moral suicide.
Christ Himself was meek before His Father, but never before evil. He rebuked hypocrites, overturned the tables and spoke truth without compromise. The modern idea that Christians should sit quietly and let wickedness prevail is completely foreign to Scripture.
In Revelation, Christ returns not as a pacifist but as a conquering King. His robe is dipped in blood and He rides forth with the armies of heaven. That is not a soft gospel. It is judgment and victory.
Today, many have confused meekness with weakness. Too many churches preach surrender in the name of peace. But peace without righteousness is corruption. Evil does not stop because you smile at it. It stops when men of faith stand firm.
Christianity calls for courage, discipline and the defence of truth. It calls men to be warriors of light, not cowards hiding behind a false peace.
Christians are not called to live quietly beneath the boot of wickedness. We are called to resist evil, stand for what is right and remain faithful to Christ, the Lamb who will return as the Lion. 🏴
For 79 years, our Airmen have courageously answered the call to serve here at home and abroad—always aiming high and making our country proud.
Grateful is an understatement.

Tokenized Stock Trading!
Yes, this is a BIG DEAL.
The SEC’s new INNOVATION EXEMPTION, permitting trading of tokenized stocks in the U.S., is one of the most significant developments in the history of capital markets.
Hard to believe my law firm was working with Overstock and others on stock tokenization a DECADE ago. None of us thought it would take this long to get the SEC’s blessing.
And now it’s finally here!
Why is this such a big deal?
When I started as a lawyer advising the securities industry, the operating standard for stock trading was “T+5.” It literally took 5 DAYS for stock trades to settle. 😂
In my professional lifetime, securities settlement has gone from 5 days to nearly instantaneous with blockchain-based settlement.
And the cost to trade has similarly gone from roughly 1% of the trade value to essentially zero.
As my father would say—“I never thought I’d see the day.”
Tokenized trading and blockchain-based settlement are here to stay.
The securities industry will never be the same.
Traditional trading venues (like NYSE & NASDAQ) will have to adapt rapidly, or die; as will the brokers who are/were the traditional interface between investors and stock trading venues.
But, as with any new technology—A LOT CAN GO WRONG.
Let’s just hope the pioneers in this space don’t screw it up for the rest of us. 😎
I wish them all great success.

🚨 STEPHEN A. SMITH JUST EXPOSED THE BIGGEST EPSTEIN SCAM 🔥
The files were sitting there the ENTIRE Biden administration.
FOUR YEARS.
Democrats controlled the White House.
Democrats controlled the DOJ.
They did NOTHING.
Now the second they lose power, a Democrat signs a petition and suddenly it’s the most urgent crisis in America?
Stephen A. asked the question every honest person is thinking:
“How come you didn’t open it when YOU were in charge?
What am I missing?”
This smells.
If they had real dirt that could have stopped Trump from becoming the 47th President, they would have dumped it BEFORE the election.
They didn’t.
They waited.
Because this was never about the victims.
It was about timing.
It was about politics.
It was about protecting their own until it became useful.
The hypocrisy is sickening.
RT if you’re done being played. 🇺🇸

🚨NICK SHIRLEY: “If it wasn't for Elon and 𝕏, none of this would have been possible. I post that video about the fraud on YouTube. It gets a few million views. On 𝕏, it got 140 million views, and the most important people in the world see it.”
So let me get this straight, you voted AGAINST the bill that would restrict crypto exchanges from paying yield on stablecoins because you don’t want crypto exchanges to pay yield on stablecoins?
So now that your side has defeated the bill, crypto exchanges can pay unlimited yield on stablecoins.
Well played sir.🫡
Politics beat policy this week. That's the lesson, not the outrage.
Crypto - and the 67 million Americans who own and use it - aren't going anywhere. Neither is the opposition - or the allies who found it politically expedient to walk away from commitments.
Our industry has too many voices pushing too many messages. That's on us to fix. It's time to speak with one voice through one megaphone.
Why do I increasingly get the feeling the Democrat senators were lured into an elaborate trap in respect of the Clarity Act and are caught fast in the trap having voted 100% on their side against it. Tactically, for political reasons, maybe two or three of them should have voted for it so that the party did not look totally partisan against all things crypto.
🚨BOOM 12 Learers caught and busted for fraud. These Learers in San Diego had been living life in luxury stealing our tax dollars while never actually teaching children to lear. All 12 individuals are not even from America and stole $10 million dollars.
EXPOSE AND STOP IT ALL.
Boris Yeltsin walked into a Houston Randall's grocery store in 1989 and went quiet. Not quiet in a polite, diplomatic way. Quiet in the way a man goes quiet when reality collapses on him.
He saw 30,000 products on shelves. He saw ordinary Americans buying chicken, cheese, and fresh bread without a ration card, without a two-hour queue, without bribing anyone. A Soviet man of real power, surrounded by abundance that Soviet central planners had promised for seventy years and never delivered. He reportedly told his aide that if ordinary Soviet citizens saw this store, they would riot.
Central planners destroyed the price system. Without prices, nobody could calculate where to send resources. Hayek proved this theoretically in 1945. The Soviets proved it empirically with empty shelves every single decade they existed.
You grew up in that system, and you got potatoes when the state decided potatoes existed for you. You stood in line for meat that had already rotted. You traded favors to get medicine your doctor prescribed. Bureaucrats in Moscow set production quotas with no feedback mechanism, no profit signal, no way to know what you actually needed.
Yeltsin left that Houston store and reportedly wept in the car. He later said it destroyed his belief in the Soviet system more than any dissident literature ever had.
Socialism grinds people down daily, in a thousand small humiliations, until standing in line for bread feels normal.
