This is Mayor Baste Duterte in 2016. Listen to how he spoke then and compare it with how he speaks now.

Is this a natural change, or a deliberate attempt to sound more like his father and make the DDS see his father in him?

BUAT YANG BERENCANA LIBURAN KE KORSEL ESPECIALLY JEJU, PLS BACA INI!!!

jadi di jeju itu ternyata banyak banget kasus orang hilang dan kasus pembunvhan tapi beritanya disembunyikan, tau-tau ketemu m4yatnya aja ☠️

OP ini cerita: dulu waktu liburan ke jeju, dia makan ke restoran daging terkenal. pas mau pulang, tiba-tiba pemilik resto (ibu-ibu) itu melarang OP buat pulang jalan kaki dan maksa OP untuk naik mobilnya aja

karena nggak enak, OP akhirnya jadi nebeng di mobil pemilik resto itu. selama diperjalanan, pemilik resto cerita kalau di area tsb sudah banyak orang hilang, pokoknya banyak banget kasus orang hilang/pembunvhan, tapi berita itu ditutupi/disembunyikan

pemilik resto juga ngasih tau kl yang hilang itu semuanya pasti wisatawan/turis, soalnya kan keliatan bgt kl mereka turis, jadi emang sengaja “diincar”

pemilik resto itu jg nyaranin better naik taxi, meskipun jarak ke penginapan itu dekat. terus quote RT dari tweet ini juga banyak bgt yang nyaranin untuk bawa mobil sendiri, soalnya emang se bahaya itu

The Los Angeles Lakers just sold for $12.5 billion, the most expensive sale in American sports history. And there’s some for a lack of better words, interesting connections. The seller is Mark Walter, who is under active federal investigation.

The buyer is Josh Kushner who’s brother is Donald Trump’s son in law and the man whose firm tried to buy the FIFA World Cup. The most famous franchise in sports just passed straight from a man being probed by the feds to a man who tried to privatize the world's biggest tournament. Let’s take a look at the full picture, because the full picture is ugly.

Let’s start off with some of the facts because this story is LOADED.

Mark Walter bought the Lakers 14 months ago at a $10 billion valuation. He didn't buy them to just flip them. He tore up the front office, rebuilt the scouting department, overhauled the business side, all the moves of a man planning to own this team for a decade. Then, 14 months in, he sold the Lakers?! Nobody does that. You don't buy your dream asset and unload it before you've finished redecorating, unless something changed and changed drastically.

Here's what happened. Walter is under federal investigation, a probe into the insurance companies he controls, the same case where the FBI reportedly seized his phone and laptop off a private jet at a Chicago airport. Separate investigations by U.S. prosecutors and the SEC are underway.

Now there is no proof of guilt yet. No one has pointed out for sure that the investigation forced this sale. Walter hasn't been charged with anything. The teams themselves are not named in the probe. Every serious outlet says the connection is unproven, and it is.

But you're allowed to look at the picture, and the picture is ugly. A man under federal investigation does not sell his trophy asset 14 months after buying it, at $2.5 billion above what he paid, in a matter of days, for no reason. That's not a normal exit. That's a fast, wildly profitable, remarkably clean getaway from the spotlight, executed at the precise moment the spotlight turned into a liability. You don't liquidate the Los Angeles Lakers this quickly unless you have a reason to want out. What that reason is, only the investigation knows. But the timing is not small.

But then who is buying it is a whole new story.

The buyer is Josh Kushner, founder of Thrive Capital. Weeks ago, that same firm was the lead investor in Gianni Infantino's $20 billion plan to sell off the commercial rights to the FIFA World Cup, the scheme that collapsed under a global revolt and nearly cost the FIFA president his job. Same man. Same firm. Different sport, different continent, weeks apart.

And there's a layer under the Kushner name that makes this bigger than sports. Josh Kushner is the brother of Jared Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump. Which means the most famous franchise in American sports is now owned, in part, by the sitting President's son-in-law's brother. Not the President himself, to be clear. He has no stake in this and no role in it. But the Lakers just became connected by marriage to the First Family, at the same time the seller is under a federal investigation run by that same administration's Justice Department. You don't have to allege anything to notice that's a crazy plot twist.

Two of the biggest money scandals in sports right now, a federally investigated owner on one side and the private equity operator who tried to buy the World Cup on the other, just resolved into a single transaction. The investigated man sold America's most famous team to the FIFA guy, in days, at a record price, and most people are reading it as a fun headline about the Lakers getting a new owner.

Here's the thing about the money at the very top of sports. Fans watch 30 teams, 30 owners, 30 separate franchises with their own colors and cities and rivalries. But the capital behind all of it is a small room. It's the same few dozen people, and they keep turning up in each other's deals. The Lakers, the Dodgers, the Giants, the Heat, Liverpool, the World Cup itself, pull the thread on almost any of them right now and you find the same handful of names, buying from and selling to one another.

That's the lesson that runs underneath all of this. At the level fans watch, sports is a game. At the level that actually owns it, sports is an asset class, and it is a far smaller and more connected world than anyone lets on. The Lakers didn't just get a new owner. They moved one square on a board most people don't know they're looking at, from a man under federal investigation to a man connected by marriage to the President.

The Buss family owned the Lakers for 46 years. Mark Walter owned them for 14 months. The next chapter belongs to the man whose firm tried to privatize the World Cup, and whose brother is married into the White House. That tells you everything about how fast the money moves at the top now, and how very few hands it moves between.

Both Joe Johnson and Josh Smith DEFEND LeBron James against Tony Allen’s claim👀

Smith: “That doesn’t mean he’s not a great defender…that just means he has more value than a person that just plays defense…this dude can’t foul out — not LeBron James…”

Joe: “When we play against the Miami Heat — I ain’t got no choice me and D-Wade gotta guard each other the whole damn game…LeBron is an above average defender…08-09’ he finished 2nd in DPOY behind Dwight Howard, 12-13’ he finished 2nd in DPOY behind Marc Gasol…maybe it was some of the things Bron may have said about Memphis…”

Dwayne Wade says Miami Heat was never the same after Lebron James surprisingly left to Cleveland in 2014 & how Pat Riley took it personal

Udonis: “it was a DARK cloud over us when LeBron left for awhile”

D.Wade: “Yeah, cause we weren’t Good no more! The dark cloud was, ahhh we got to go back to being NOT good!”

D.Wade: “One thing I didn’t like about it, when Bron left, was I didn’t think it was handled well, and I was surprised about that. That was a gift that we all got to play together for 4 years, if that man wants to leave now, it’s some things that got messed up in the process because it wasn’t enough communication”

D.Wade: “The man came here, he conquered, the man did what he was supposed to do here, but Pat Riley was really into his feelings about it, I was shocked, cause me and Riley almost got into it in practice one day”

Brian Windhorst on Charles Barkley saying LeBron James will be the GOAT if he wins 2 titles with the Sixers, via @FirstTake:

"What are we doing here? We're talking about him winning multiple more titles... his legacy is established, it's set, it's done it. What about three? Why not four, why not five? Why not six? Why not 12? ... I hate this so much about the NBA that it's about counting championships."

[NBA Courtside @NBA__Courtside]

Brian Windhorst on Charles Barkley comments saying LeBron James stacks every team he goes to:

“Where does Charles and the legends want LeBron to go? Do they want him to go to the G League? Because if he went to Cleveland is that team stacked? Is Miami with Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo is that team stacked? Jokic and Jamal Murray is that team stacked? Ant Edwards, Rudy Gobert I don’t know he left Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves is that not? I don’t understand the premise of the complaint.”

Erik Spoelstra says his Filipino roots and family values help him shape teams into their full potential:

“My mother instilled Filipino values in our household. When you’re a kid, you don’t even really understand it until you get older. She always wanted me to operate with grace. With humility. With hard work. And to always be committed to the family. When you try to put together great teams, those values are really important. The best teams I’ve ever been a part of, that’s how you view each other, as family members. That's what my family believed in.” 🇵🇭

Paul Pierce says LeBron James had a greater influence on winning than Michael Jordan in NBA history.

“LeBron has the greatest influence on winning.”

“From Day One, you put him on a team, they’re a better team than if he’s not on it.”

“Jordan did too.”

“But LeBron’s influence on winning is greater.”

“When you look at the teams he took to the Finals, it’s like, ‘Damn, you dragged them.’”
