I was my HS team’s goalkeeper. I was named team MVP, made All-District, All-State, and was the MVP Goalkeeper at 3 different tournaments.
I tried out for club teams but had to turn down because I couldn’t afford to pay thousands of dollars.
I’m sure we are missing out on plenty of players that were even better and more talented than me.
This has to change if we want to be the best.
This foul in the build-up to Messi’s goal against Austria wasn’t even checked by VAR, but Egypt’s 2nd goal against Argentina just got disallowed for a much lighter touch 😂
VAR only works when the goal it’s against Argentina , unbelievable 😂🤦🏾♂️

Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.”
BREAKING: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche just admitted the DOJ excluded images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from today’s Epstein files release.
Let that sink in.
The government is acknowledging graphic evidence exists and chose to withhold it, while redacting names tied to Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful associates, including Donald Trump.
🚨ALERTA: CONTEÚDO EXTREMAMENTE PERTURBADOR, NÃO ABRA SE NÃO TIVER ESTÔMAGO!!! 🔞
Uma Thread com alguns dos documentos e imagens que circulam após divulgação da nova remessa de arquivos do caso Jeffrey Epstein 🧵
After all this is over, we need to pass a law that makes social media posts from official agency accounts like this subject to perjury. It is too destructive to the country to let them keep lying and lying and lying without any possible legal remedy.
His question was this and it contains literally no bias whatsoever. It’s straight facts.
“Secretary Noem spoke to the media and said ICE was doing everything correctly. 32 people died in ICE custody last year, 170 US citizens were detained by ICE, and Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE agent. How does that equate to them doing everything correctly?”
I remember Ronaldo getting booed. I remember him being whistled despite scoring hat-tricks and having multiple Ballon d’Ors. Nowadays, players with 1 goal in 20 games are openly beefing with a proven manager. Real Madrid standards are at rock bottom
The wildest part about this video, is that the second the footage came out, it was obvious the officer didn’t get hit, nor was the woman trying to hit the officer, but the president of the United States, and the people who worship him still lied, even in the face of evidence.
1- The Police Use-of-Force Rule on Moving Vehicles
Core Police Rule taught nationwide: Officers should not intentionally place themselves in front of or in the path of a moving vehicle and then use deadly force to stop it.
2- DOJ / FBI / National Policing Standards
The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI training doctrine states: A moving vehicle alone is not considered a deadly threat. Officers must attempt to move out of the vehicle’s path rather than fire.
Deadly force is not justified if: The officer voluntarily placed themselves in front of the vehicle. The vehicle is attempting to flee. There are other avenues of escape
3- International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP)
The IACP model policy says:
Officers shall not fire at or from a moving vehicle unless:
There is an imminent threat other than the vehicle itself, and No reasonable alternatives exist
Standing in front of a vehicle creates the danger and invalidates the justification.
4- Minnesota training explicitly teaches:
Officers must avoid positioning themselves in front of vehicles during enforcement actions
Use of deadly force is not justified when the danger results from the officer’s own tactical decisions
This is drilled into recruits.
5- Supreme Court Context
While not a numbered rule, courts repeatedly rule that:
An officer cannot manufacture a deadly-force scenario and then claim self-defense.
This is known legally as “officer-created jeopardy.”
5- How It’s Taught to Police
Police are taught:
Step aside
Let the vehicle go
Identify later
Do not block with your body
Do not draw a gun in front of a car
Why?
Because:
Cars are common
People panic
Officers escalate situations unnecessarily
Innocent people get killed.
Warren Buffetts’s solution to end the US government shut down:
"I could end the deficit in five minutes. You just pass a law that says that any time there’s a deficit of more than three percent of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."
Do you agree with him?
