That game is a reminder of just how compelling the NBA can still be at its best. Watched it all at a packed bar in SF -- with people who weren't invested in either team -- living and dying on every possession.
The regular season needs a lot of work. The playoffs remain awesome.
We all grown now but I realize that the kids we went to school with that were a little..slower...are now adults and still slow. Once you realize that, life gets easier.
It is absolutely sickening that the Iranian regime is firing missiles at three major holy sites this week — the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Western Wall, and the Al Aqsa Mosque. Yet why isn’t the entire world condemn this? Crickets.
Why Iran is targeting Arab Gulf states despite their “publicly expressed” solidarity!
The Iranian regime knows very well that it cannot retaliate directly against Israel or U.S. warships at its borders, because this will only accelerate the escalation of the war and double the attacks.
So they decide to target Arab Gulf states instead, hoping to create a regional crisis that would compel Washington and Jerusalem to de-escalate under pressure from anxious Arab partners fearing for their own national security.
However, the Islamic Regime’s stupid strategy backfired.
Tehran’s actions accelerated Arab alignment with the U.S.–Israel position, even among states that had initially resisted granting airspace access for American or Israeli operations against Iran.
Son of the Co-Founder of Hamas, Mosab Hassan Yousef:
"Judaism was born five thousand years ago. It's the most ancient nation on the planet. What is 'Palestine'? 'Palestinians' is something made up by Yasser Arafat."
The jihadi devil feeds on blood. It will rest for a few days, having just murdered 16 people. Soon enough, it will resurface - emboldened and unapologetic - with the full backing of its followers, chanting “globalize the intifada” and other slogans that serve as indirect calls to drive the Jews out of their land.
The only answer to this demonic force is to fulfill the God-given calling of the Jewish people to return to their ancestral, God-given land. In doing so, the countries that harbor jihadists will be left to confront them on their own, while the primary objective - to expel the Jews from their land - is met with the exact opposite outcome: more Jews returning home.
“So I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the countries; I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.
When they came to the nations, wherever they went, they profaned My holy name—when they said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, and yet they have gone out of His land.’
But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations wherever they went.
“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went.
And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes.
For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.”
(Ezekiel 36:19-24)
The UN — whose aid workers and facilities in Gaza were riddled with Hamas terrorists, weapons and explosives— keeps discrediting itself time and time again.
Consider this:
🍽️ The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is delivering two million free meals a day in Gaza
📜 The #2 item on Hamas’s list of demands is to shut down @GHFUpdates
⚠️ Hamas is literally negotiating to starve Palestinians
