You missed.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.

[Sports Patriot @SportsPatriotUS]

We called this before tipoff.

Not after the game.

Not after the blowout.

Not after the broadcast started shaping the story.

Before.

We said tonight was not just Fever vs. Sparks.

It was a Caitlin Clark narrative test.

And look what happened.

The Fever beat the Sparks 111-87 without Caitlin Clark.

Now brace yourself, because the narrative machine is about to work overtime.

You are going to hear it all night.

You are going to hear it tomorrow.

“The Fever looked freer.”

“They played better team basketball.”

“They looked more balanced.”

“They moved the ball.”

“They were more relaxed.”

“Stephanie White had them ready.”

“Maybe this team can function better without Caitlin.”

That is the trap.

Do not fall for it.

Because the box score told a very different story.

Here is what we told you to watch.

• Watch the free throws.

The Fever attempted 33 free throws.

The Sparks attempted 21.

That is a +12 free-throw attempt advantage for Indiana.

Indiana made 27 free throws.

Los Angeles made 17.

That is a +10 point advantage at the line.

The final free-throw gap was bad enough.

But the first half told the real story.

Indiana shot 17 free throws before halftime.

Los Angeles shot 5.

That is not just a stat.

That is the whistle setting the tone before the narrative even had to work.

This matters because the story was never just “fouls.”

It was free throws.

The kind of whistle that controls momentum, creates foul trouble, stops runs, rewards contact, and shapes the feel of the game.

Tonight, with Caitlin Clark out, Indiana suddenly got the friendly side of that math.

• Watch the foul optics.

The total fouls were almost even.

Los Angeles: 23 fouls.

Indiana: 24 fouls.

That is the perfect cover.

The foul count looks balanced.

But the free-throw line tells the real story.

Indiana got 33 attempts.

Los Angeles got 21.

That is how games get managed while the surface numbers still look clean.

• Watch who got the Caitlin role.

We expected Raven Johnson to be the player used for the “look how good they are without Caitlin” storyline.

Instead, they started Tyasha Harris.

Same concept.

Different player.

Harris played 30 minutes, scored 16 points, shot 5-for-8 from the field, 2-for-4 from three, 4-for-5 from the line, had five rebounds, three assists, two steals, zero fouls, and finished +27.

Good for Ty.

But do not miss the point.

She was allowed to play.

She was allowed to breathe.

She was allowed to get rhythm.

She was not treated like Caitlin Clark gets treated.

• Watch the defense.

Did Tyasha Harris get face-guarded like Caitlin?

Did she get grabbed, bumped, chased, crowded, tested, and harassed for 94 feet?

Did the Sparks defend her like she was a national security threat?

No.

The game looked cleaner because the game was allowed to look cleaner.

That was the prediction.

• Watch Stephanie White.

The rotations suddenly looked normal.

The team suddenly looked comfortable.

The guards were allowed to play through rhythm.

The offense suddenly had flow.

The same coach who has repeatedly found bizarre ways to interrupt Caitlin Clark’s momentum suddenly looked much more stable without Caitlin on the floor.

Funny how that works.

• Watch the box score glow-up.

The Fever shot 55% from the field.

They shot 53% from three.

They scored 111 points.

They had six players score at least nine points.

Kelsey Mitchell had 26.

Aliyah Boston had 17.

Tyasha Harris had 16.

Monique Billings had 15.

Sophie Cunningham had 9.

This is exactly the kind of box score people will use to say, “See? The Fever are fine.”

No.

This is exactly the kind of box score we warned you they needed.

A clean, pretty, comfortable game without Caitlin Clark.

• Watch the narrative now.

This is the part that matters most.

The game is over.

The real game starts now.

The media will not say the Fever are better without Caitlin.

They are smarter than that.

They will say they looked “balanced.”

They will say they looked “connected.”

They will say the ball moved.

They will say the offense had flow.

They will say the team responded.

They will say Stephanie White pushed the right buttons.

They will praise the “new look” Fever while pretending they are not feeding the exact narrative everyone knew was coming.

This is how it works.

You do not have to say Caitlin Clark is the problem.

You just create one perfect night without her and let everyone else imply it.

That is why tonight mattered.

Because we told you what to watch before the ball tipped.

The whistle got friendlier.

The free throws tilted Indiana’s way.

The defense did not look the same.

The guards were allowed to play.

The coach looked cleaner.

The box score looked pretty.

The crowd was strong enough to spin.

And now the media gets exactly what it wanted.

A clean Fever win without Caitlin Clark.

So when you hear the narrative tonight and tomorrow, remember this:

We called it before the game.

This was never just Fever vs. Sparks.

It was a Caitlin Clark narrative test.

And the box score just handed them their talking points.

And before anyone calls this revisionist history, here is what we wrote before the game was played: https://t.co/hkyH0YNaYn

It is amazing that @CaitlinClark22 who has brought so much publicity for the @WNBA has to take so much abuse from many of those that she has helped financially since her arrival .The physical pounding she takes is totally UNACCEPTABLE! https://t.co/PdJO1xl773

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

@POTUS

This is a message to President Donald Trump & all of those around him, especially those telling him that accountability is not possible or wise, & those saying the weaponization fund will lose him the midterms & so on. We are standing at the gates of Auschwitz as a nation, we have walked the all those miles to get here & the path is littered with the bodies of those who sacrificed their lives or were murdered for doing the right thing, for the right reasons - or just existing. Before us lie the gas chambers, with smoke billowing from the ovens. We can all smell the bodies burning, but our enemies are saying: “No, that’s climate change”.

Mr President, what am I saying? That if you do not hold people accountable for crimes against humanity, crimes against children, treason and sedition - for the ongoing, treasonous “Russia collusion” conspiracy, the Hunter laptop conspiracy, the stolen 2020 election, the mass murder of people with Covid & the kill shot & so on, they will return to power & never give it up & God help us all.

They will undo every Executive Order of yours overnight, they will purge institutions & the whole of society of people who voted for you & supported you & worked for you. They are not even hiding it.

We as a nation face certain death if you do not hold people accountable & use the power you have - you and only you.

We have been never been here in all of human history. The leftist-globalist-Islamist alliance is moving fast because they are afraid of the power you have - but so far, it appears you may be listening to those close to you who maintain that using it will hurt you personally.

I do not believe that is true. If they’ve offered you a deal, you can be sure it is a lie. That’s the hand they offer when takin it means they own you completely. When they tell you that you can still work with one cartel leader while another awaits trial in the custody of your Admin, they are deceiving you. Every deal with the devil is an open door in a spiritual war. And when we as humans give our authority to dark forces, the darkness always comes to collect.

Mr President, on behalf of all the amazing people they plan to kill, imprison, wound, cancel & destroy after they get through you and your family, I am begging you to use your legal, constitutional power to the fullest extent, not to weaponize the government against the citizens, but to do the opposite: protect your citizens from those who have a proven track record of using a weaponized government & the power of the state to persecute and harm their political opposition & anyone they determine is standing in their way.

The good options are disappearing fast - a little more every day. Please do not be deceived. I humbly pray for God to keep giving you the power of discernment and the strength of truth to carry out his will on earth and do what is required in this moment when the millions of Americans who voted for you in overwhelming numbers are already being tracked and singled out for punishment by your political enemies.

You have done more than anyone else, you have been willing to take on the most difficult and overwhelming issues because you can and it seems you mean what you say and genuinely care. Moral courage cannot be faked in the eyes of those who are true.

Wethepeople need you to deliver the accountability you promised. And to know that after you, the good options are most likely gone.

With great respect.

If this is real and I think it is this is the most idiotic promo I’ve ever seen in sports. I like Raven Johnson. But to not put Caitlin Clark on every graphic for every Fever game is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Like would you ever promote a Lakers game without LeBron? Spurs without Wemby? OKC without SGA? It’s so intentional I can’t wrap my brain around it. How can this league be so god damn stupid? #caitlin

TRUMP’S MADMAN STRATEGY FOR IRAN:
"However, we are going to, at this stage, reference you to the...National Security Archives...from the United States of America. What we believe is what's going on here is this is, as we've said there in our post, you can see it on your screens, in our reaction to President Trump's Truth Social, we've said. 'This is the Madman Strategy'. Now, some may be confused there. We're not actually calling President Trump mad. In fact, the chapter in the Radical Dispatch, within which the written version of this stream, that is, within which this will all be explained, will be called the 'Mad King Trump'. But we're not literally calling Trump mad. What we are referencing here, both by using the phrase the 'Mad King' and the Madman Strategy, is a well-established Kissinger-era national security doctrine, as you can see here from the website, the National Security Archive. There's an article there that's headlined 'Nixon, Kissinger and the Madman Strategy During the Vietnam War'. Now, what is that strategy? Well, we're going to read it for you now, just to clarify exactly what we believe President Trump is doing here. And obviously, when you understand this, you'll understand why that Mike Tyson clip in the context of intimidating the enemy was relevant as well. This is well-established military doctrine from the National Security Archive. Just reading there posted...29th of May, 2015, 'President Richard Nixon, and his national security advisor, Henry Kissinger, believed they could compel the other side to back down during crises in the Middle East and Vietnam by pushing so many chips into the pot that Nixon would seem crazy enough to go much further. According to newly declassified documents published today...in May 2015, in newly declassified documents published today by the National Security Archive, with madman diplomacy Nixon and Kissinger strove to end the Vietnam War on the most favourable terms possible in the shortest period of time practicable. An effort that culminated in a secret global nuclear alert in October of that year.' So this is on the National Security Archive published in 2015. It's an explanation of what the madman strategy is in military terms. And it's that strategy that we believe President Trump, let's dub him the Mad King, is deploying..."

@Matt2Frosty At age 22, I probably would have said lifetime passes. At 50+, and lucky enough to spend a Masters Sunday with Berckman's Place passes a few years ago, I'd now 100% take playing it just once. Personally it's much more fun watching any golf on tv after having played the course.

HR: We lost the employee today.

Manager: What happened?

HR: He resigned immediately.

Manager: Over a desktop background?

HR: Yes.

Manager: That makes no sense. It was a simple policy issue.

HR: It was not simple to him.

Manager: He changed the company wallpaper to a family photo at the beach.

HR: Yes, and when I asked him why, he said it motivated him during long hours.

Manager: Personal images dilute brand immersion.

HR: It was a desktop background, not a public campaign.

Manager: Rules are rules. Company devices should reflect company identity.

HR: He told us it was not hurting anyone.

Manager: That is why I reset it remotely and restored the company logo.

HR: And then you updated his file with “potential loyalty drift.”

Manager: I was documenting a concern.

HR: He understood it differently. He felt the company had a problem with basic humanity.

Manager: It was just a background.

HR: Exactly. And if even that much personal space is treated like disloyalty, employees start to see what kind of culture they are in.

Manager: How did he resign without a back up job? That's a red flag.

HR: When employees leave without even having a backup job, it is usually a red flag about the company, not the employee.

@MrsErikaKirk Regardless of your opinion of gaslighting...many of us see through it.

[FRITZ 🇺🇸 @JC_Fritzy]

@PressSec @JasonMiller You are hemorrhaging your base...but, it doesn't matter, right? As George Carlin said without quoting...It's a big f'n party and WE aren't part of it.

[FRITZ 🇺🇸 @JC_Fritzy]

@RCMaxw3ll Seriously? We're going to celebrate a rescue mission from a war we shouldn't have been in? Everyone believes that the "voting" public is stupid...THANK GOD the pilot is good, but you are gaslighting the public more and more. #AmericaFirst

[FRITZ 🇺🇸 @JC_Fritzy]

@PressSec IT'S BEYOND BELIEF THAT OUR PILOTS ARE GETTING SHOT DOWN! This is a victory???? You are losing support by every STUPID post like this where you say it's a "victory" getting a pilot out of a war we're fighting for another country. Be better.

[Karoline Leavitt @PressSec]

FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND! This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow War Fighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue. At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies. This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

Dear basketball gods, we don’t ask much of you, but a Nebraska Iowa Sweet 16 game would be awfully kind of you.

[College Basketball Report @CBKReport]

Iowa and Nebraska facing off in the Sweet 16 is so insane, and not just because of their rivalry…

• Iowa hasn’t made a Sweet 16 since 1999
• Nebraska hasn’t made a Sweet 16 EVER

This game is going to be phenomenal.
