@KSB2215 @IndianaFever I completely saw the same thing the night before. Wow! Hard to not believe White wanted to lose to the Sparks.

@SnapshotKyle Didn’t Sophie get called for a foul here? Which is ridiculous!

[Barb Edler @EdlerBarb]

@IowaHoops Great responses. Could you identify each speaker? I know most but not everyone.

By David Abbruzzes:

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Very well stated.

@EvenFlow247 @Nikelodeon2021 And she should no longer be a ref!

[#FireStephWhite @WNBA_Analyst]

Angelica Suffren (Referee #7) was looking directly at Alyssa Thomas who had her fist on CC’s neck. Yet she didn’t call anything and let the play go on.

We need to start calling out these referees who are either a) betting on games or b) letting CC get hammered out of spite!

[Barb Edler @EdlerBarb]

@IndianaFever I think the refs should be fired. Absolutely unacceptable. There were so many bad calls against the Fever during the end that the refs stole the game. They surely seem intentional with their decision to impact the outcome of the final score.

[Barb Edler @EdlerBarb]

@HeavensFX Very disappointed in the refs for not calling that intentional attempt to maim

[jjmac21 @jjmac2169]

Here’s the main ref who has called against Caitlin Clark multiple times and issued multiple techs. Amy Bonner. Let’s make this WNBA scum of a referee famous. Indiana Fever with the W in a very ugly game.

[Barb Edler @EdlerBarb]

@LangmanVince Yeah. He must be a vampire. My husband is 76. I can see a decided difference

[Barb Edler @EdlerBarb]

@HeavensFX Smacked right up the nose. I thought this type of foul could be reviewed

[Barb Edler @EdlerBarb]

@IndianaFever Fighting cancer and waiting for the Fever to kick some booty!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: Rep. Mark Takano asked RFK Jr. the question that we are all asking:

"You're the nation's top health official, and I want to talk to you today about the president's mental health."

THIS NEEDS TO BE SHARED WIDELY ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Fred Hoiberg is state of Iowa royalty…
who chose Nebraska.

So this is fair game.

And the whole
“a cell phone might kill me because of my pacemaker”
was… ridiculous.

@RyanKirkley @evolver1751299 @MarchMadnessMBB No, the announcers said after they watched it again that he did not hit the player. Refs did everything they could for Florida. Review the game and see how many blatant fouls Florida made that were not called.
