A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

Eighty-two years ago today, freedom stood on the edge of extinction, and Allied forces stormed into hell to help save the world.

We will never forget the courage, the sacrifice, and the blood spilled on that fateful day.

BREAKING: A Washington State school secretly coached a 10-year-old girl to identify as a boy, hiding it from her parents for 5 months.

When they found out, a youth center gave their daughter a burner phone to run away.

Dear LGBT Community of X,

I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that I am truly sorry.

I'm sorry that your parents ignored you your entire childhood so you grew up craving attention.

I'm sorry that you never learned the meaning of the word "pride", because it seems like you think it's about twerking on a unicorn float in your underwear with your shirt off.

Let me be crystal clear.

I don’t give a damn who you are.

The L, the B, the G, or the T.

You could identify as a disabled panda bear.

I seriously...DGAF!

I accept you as you are.

Live your life.
Be happy.
Be free.

Dress how you want, love who you want, identify as a one-legged trans raccoon on a Tuesday for all I care.

None of it keeps me up at night.

But the second you force it on me for an entire month?

The second I see parents that should be thrown in prison for exposing their children to twerking men in their underwear?

Gloves are off, ya perverts.

You don’t get to shove your lifestyle into every commercial, every classroom, every sports league, and every government office then scream “bigot!” when people push back.

So keep your flags, parades, and private lives. Just stop forcing your ideology into schools, sports, commercials, and kids' faces.

Respect biology, parental rights, and basic decency.

Live free, but don't demand my applause or my children's innocence as tribute.

True tolerance is a two-way street.

Back off, or the pushback will get louder.

In freedom,
Mr. Star-Spangled MAGA

American psychologists and therapists should recognize how Asian patients express love toward their children. For many of us, criticism is also a form of love, though it is not equivalent to the emotional abuse they commonly perceive it to be.

Too many extremely stupid , narrow minded and ill- qualified psychologists and therapists in Seattle, most of them are radical liberals .

Oh man, I haven't been to Carkeek for a while. This is bad. I visit the park occasionally and know all the usual camping spots there.

Also, it is not a good idea for the woman who posted this to be checking out those camps by herself. Women have been raped in this park. I've seen them jogging down the trail alone with headphones or earbuds on. Some tweaker could grab them and take them into the woods, and no one would know, because the trail can be pretty quiet sometimes.

Some of them camp on a little hill just off trail about a hundred feet down from the south entrance, to the right of the trail as you enter the park. But most of them camp right on Piper's Creek, a bit past the old orchard, anywhere from 10 to 30 yards in on either side.

But what's really infuriating is that Piper's Creek is a very nice little salmon spawning stream. Granted they're hatchery fish (chum, I think) and not wild. But still, this is where school kids come to learn about the natural world in their backyards. It's really neat to watch them coming back upstream to spawn.

And now these dirtbags are crapping in it, and doing God knows what else to alter the unique chemistry of the stream that helps salmonids find their way home.

This is actually bothers me more than seeing tents on a sidewalk. I dont want to hear a goddamn word about how "green" our city is as long as we're tolerating this B.S.
