🎙️| Candace Parker on Caitlin Clark being ranked the 11th-best guard by WNBA players in All-Star voting:
"I think people need to look at themselves in the mirror and realize, man, you got some insecurities. - If you're sitting down and putting Caitlin Clark as the 11th best guard... y'all need to go to a therapist and figure out what childhood issues you have."
The same Mamdani who ran on taxing the rich is now demanding a 20% salary increase for himself and fellow New York City officials.
This is exactly what communists do.
I can think of no better argument for term limits than millions of people on social media honestly asking whether or not a sitting U.S. Senator is alive.
Man just want to thank the @USMNT for the way they represented the our country throughout the World Cup!
Not just with your play but how you handled yourselves before-during-and after the matches. Know it didn’t end the way you’d hoped but that’s sports-important thing is YOU brought so much excitement to your country AND to your sport!
Thank you for this ride and taking people like me (know very little about the game) to look forward to each match and listening and learning along the way.
Keep your heads up lads-we appreciate all of you!

"Let me be very, very clear. Boys should NOT be competing in women's sports. It's a DISSERVICE to the young ladies out there."
"We don't even have to get to the other parts about men in women's bathrooms and all that stuff. I don't agree with that either! I got two daughters. H*ll no! H*ll no!"
"But this is strictly about transgenders competing in women's sports. No! It was NEVER right. It was ALWAYS wrong ... Riley Gaines is right. Period! She's right."
"I'm not backing up. She's certainly not backing up, nor should she. Common sense rules the day, ladies and gentlemen."
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.

Continental Congress HAS SIGNED A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!
The UNITED STATES are OFFICIALLY INDEPENDENT from BRITAIN.
LIBERTY BELLS ring out throughout Philadelphia; the streets ERUPT IN ECSTASY.
Happy 250th Anniversary to the greatest country in the world. Lest we forget, without America’s Veterans, America simply wouldn’t exist. All gave some. Some, gave all. God Bless America.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The vote that would create the United States was deadlocked, and the man who could break the tie was eighty miles away, dying of cancer, on the wrong side of a thunderstorm.
His name was Caesar Rodney. On the first of July 1776, while Congress argued itself toward independence in Philadelphia, he was stuck back in Delaware. He was tamping down Loyalist trouble, in constant pain from the cancer eating at his face and fighting for breath due to his asthma.
Then the letter came. Delaware's two delegates in Congress were split. One for independence, one against. Without a tiebreaker, the colonies would not stand united. And a divided front was exactly what the Crown was counting on.
He did not hesitate. He climbed onto his horse near midnight and rode straight into the storm. Lightning split the sky. The roads turned to sludge. A journey that normally took two days but he made it in eighteen hours. He stopped only to change horses, soaked with every mile.
He reached Independence Hall on the morning of July 2 just as the vote was called, still in his boots and spurs. Caked in mud. Thomas McKean never forgot the sight of him standing in the doorway.
Rodney walked in and cast his vote for independence. It broke Delaware's tie, and with that, not a single colony stood against the break from Britain.
On this day, 250 years ago, a dying man rode all night through a storm so America could be born.
America 250 🇺🇸
🇺🇸 Love this display of true sportsmanship.
Perhaps we’ve never truly been the problem. Maybe it’s the politics that keeps insisting we’re divided.
Unity is still possible when we choose it. 🙏❤️
