2026 PCA (on pace)

Just one of five mind-blowing stats we dug up to illustrate PCA's value ⬇️

While the Roald Dahl edit was certainly a significant victim of Woke 1, I think about Montez Lee, a career criminal who killed a 30 year old father of five by burning him alive while he was trapped in his small business during the Minneapolis riots, and the Biden DOJ got him leniency, citing MLK’s statement that “riots are the language of the unheard.” But the Roald Dahl edit was also bad.

I suspect that this will be one of the lasting accounts of the era it describes:

Can't believe Glen Hansard died in a motorcycle crash. He was only 56. "ONCE" comes as near as any movie does to justifying the adjective sublime.

Decline is a choice

Gambling becomes America’s favorite pastime as Americans spend more on sports bets than movies, arts, museums, and music combined

I cannot imagine how many nights in a row this would be the lead topic in Fox prime time if Obama said this.

Every US President’s life overlapped with that of Herbert Hoover or John Tyler.

Last time Cleveland had multiple hitters with multiple home runs in the same game:

Aug. 15, 2019: José Ramírez & Carlos Santana at Yankee Stadium

Rhys Hoskins and Petey Halpin have done it tonight, as you all predicted. Impressive job by you.

Guardians tonight: 5 HR in first 14 trips to the plate

42 million people watched the US-Belgium game on Fox — 30 million — and Telemundo — 12 million. Staggering number — that’s more people than have ever watched a college football, NBA, MLB or NHL game in history. Only the NFL playoffs can beat it this century.

I’m just sick and tired of the effeminate right who are in some competition on who can freak out more about everything. It’s so spiritually leftist. A big part of being a conservative is keeping calm and keeping perspective.

[Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender]

In "Master of the Senate," Robert Caro writes how Lyndon Johnson was one of the only senators to attend the funeral service for powerful Sen. Harry Byrd's daughter in 1952.

The move ended up ingratiating Johnson to Byrd and later helped him consolidate power and influence.

I would like to add myself to the chorus declaring this an all-time tweet.
