Never forget when Joey Chesnut managed to choke out and throw a protestor to the ground in the MIDDLE of the hot dog eating contest. This is one of the greatest athletes of all time. What a SAVAGE

One of the weird things about having ageing parents is getting a text that says, “Call me when you get the chance.” It’s a gamble on whether someone died or they can’t figure out the TV.

What else does he have to do?

[Ash 🏆 @EmoTragedy07]

Not a lot of things give me chills anymore.. Great music… and THIS edit. Holy shit. I love my hockey team.

[Carolina Hurricanes @Canes]

Legendary call. Legendary moment.

Jim Valvano taught us to enjoy life and to cherish every moment.

As we continue this journey, we’re reminded that the Stanley Cup Final is about more than hockey. It’s about people, purpose, sacrifice, and appreciating the moments that bring us together.

EHLERS DOUBLE DIPS!! WHAT A START FOR THE CANES 🔥

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.

@lizard_0017 @Canes 🤣🤣🤣 This was great, thank you for the good laugh on top of this victory celebration

[Nicky Batts @Deebattz]

@redsoxstats Who gets the primary blame here? Fatse for the hitters not being prepared, or tek for poor game planning? It's like they have no idea what's coming at the plate

[Carolina Hurricanes @Canes]

IT'S A MARTY PARTY IN RALEIGHHHHH

With all due respect to the Office of the President, this post contains several claims that are factually inaccurate and theologically misguided, and as a Catholic I feel compelled to respond.

1. The Pope was not elected to please any president.

Pope Leo XIV was elected by 133 cardinals from across the world in a sacred conclave, on the fourth ballot, on May 8, 2025. 

The Holy Spirit guides the conclave, not American politics.

To suggest that “if I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican”  is not only historically ignorant but theologically offensive to every Catholic on earth.

2. He was not an unknown outsider.

Pope Leo XIV served as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops under Pope Francis, one of the most powerful roles in the Vatican, responsible for selecting bishops for dioceses worldwide. 

He was one of the most qualified candidates in the College of Cardinals.

3. He is deeply rooted in service, not politics.

An Augustinian missionary who worked for decades in Peru, Pope Leo XIV dedicated his life to the poor and the Gospel long before any political figure noticed him. 

His name honors Leo XIII, the Pope who championed workers’ rights and the poor during the Industrial Revolution, a tradition of Catholic Social Teaching that predates any modern political party.

4. The Pope’s role is prophetic, not partisan.

When the Pope speaks on peace, nuclear weapons, immigration, or the dignity of nations, he is fulfilling the mission of Christ, not opposing any government.

His first words as Pope were “Peace be with you all,”  echoing the Risen Christ (John 20:19).

A Pope who is silent on injustice would be failing his divine mandate.

5. Demanding a Pope “get in line” with a president contradicts 2,000 years of Church history.

From St. Peter before Nero, to St. Thomas More before Henry VIII, to John Paul II before Soviet communism, the Church has never existed to validate earthly power.

“We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)

As Catholics, we pray for all leaders, including President Trump.

But we stand firmly with our Holy Father.

Habemus Papam. And he answers to God alone.

@gdpops1950 @SenThomTillis @SenTedBuddNC I have enjoyed the pictures that come with these messages, but I'm going to leave the convo here. This started as an inquiry with my senators, both of whom I'm sure will ignore this thread much like their answering services, since politicians no longer serve their constituents.

[Nicky Batts @Deebattz]

Hi @SenThomTillis @SenTedBuddNC I'd like to know what you personally are doing to invoke the 25th amendment to the constitution and remove the President from office before "a whole civilization will die tonight". I can't get ahold of anyone at your offices, shocker

[Nicky Batts @Deebattz]

@gdpops1950 @SenThomTillis @SenTedBuddNC Also you clearly missed the news tonight. "once Iran's nuclear capabilities are obliterated" is not part of the 10 part framework the president agreed to. In fact, one of those points is explicitly that Iran can continue enriching uranium. The exact opposite of your goal

[Nicky Batts @Deebattz]

@gdpops1950 @SenThomTillis @SenTedBuddNC I didn't say they wouldn't use one, I said they didn't have it. Reading is hard when you're stupid. 2 questions: if you bomb them today, whaddaya think the next generation of Iranians say on TV? Kumbaya? 2- this the same trump that just agreed to let them keep enriching uranium?
