People can disagree whether this event should’ve been at the White House all they want. But regardless of what anyone thinks - the symbolism of an American fighter and former NCAA Division I All-American wrestler - who happens to be a 6 to 1 underdog - fighting an undefeated opponent - ranked the second best pound for pound fighter on the planet (who many believe should’ve been ranked #1) - who many believed was unbeatable - and making this walk - with this background, music, and scenery - with the American 🇺🇸 draped over his shoulders - and then winning the fight the way he did - after being battered and hurt - with the grit and determination that he displayed - should make anyone proud to be an American.

@Jandystl If we can get Joe Ryan and extend him that should be the #1 priority by far IMO. Doesn’t walk a ton of guys, goes deep into games so the bullpen stays fresh. Strikes out a lot of guys to make up for the fly-ball rate. 🤌
Amazing how dishonest the Democrats are.
Here's reality.
First and foremost, the bulk of this deficit was of Mamdani's own making. He blew up the budget by an unprecedented $15 billion dollars in new spending over last year. The largest single-year spending increase ever.
So right off the bat our fiscal crisis was exacerbated by Mamdani's insane spending demands.
Had he simply kept spending levels approximately where they were -- already a massive $110 billion dollars -- we could've avoided most of this crisis entirely.
Next, Mamdani didn't close the deficit through successful leadership or any kind of fiscal discipline. He didn't boost the New York economy and end up with a pile of money from booming businesses or new residents.
He got a multibillion dollar bailout from Albany and is raising taxes. That's the big accomplishment Democrats are bragging about here.
Higher taxes, and a bailout from upstate. That's success to Democrats.
The rest is accounting tricks courtesy of the pliant City Council finance committee, who have been busy 'finding' money by revising revenue estimates upward in order to fill in the gaps. No way that'll bite us in the future!
And lets not forget the tens of billions that this city wastes every single year, which are going completely untouched. Nonprofits, welfare for illegals, and political activism. Not just untouchable, but set to get fat increases.
That's the real story of the budget.
'Democrats Deliver' indeed.
I personally don’t want added pressure to this young group because it creates sometimes unrealistic expectations. “Let the boys play” is the definition of this season for me. I want to see all these young players establish their identity in a time when nobody is trying to define their identity.
“We'll have universal high income. We're basically just issuing money to people, and just because the output of Business Services will so far exceed the money supply, that effectively you have deflation, because deflation is just the ratio of the outputs of goods and services to the money supply.
If the rate of growth of goods and services exceeds the rate of growth of the money supply, which I predict will happen, then you will have deflation.”

Charles is not a bad MF based on this fight either. He spent 5 rounds making sure Max didn’t punch him. I say this as someone who had mad love and respect for Charles before tonight. It’s not two young guys trying to prove themselves. So disappointing to watch
You should be permanently disqualified from competing for the BMF belt in the #UFC if you make an attempt to wrestle during that fight. This is the most boring BMF fight of all time
