@joekent16jan19 you are sooo dumb!

[Church & State @ericschurchnst8]

Wasn't Joe Kent working in intelligence? Since Israel’s annual defense budget is in excess of $50 billion, and the $3 billion annual credit the US provides to Israel to use against US made weapons is less than 6% of Israel’s annual defense budget, so no, America does not pay for Israel’s military. So, what are you doing here, a misinformation operation, just lying, or stupid stuff?

[John W @SCTiger73]

He should be thanking the Republicans, they are the ones who forced the release of the slaves. Democrats fought at every turn to stop emancipation!

The mainstream media left out the numbers. No wonder they forfeited, out of 28 players, they couldn’t find 9 who wanted to wear the jersey.Lmao!

[@XTexasGirlX @XtexasgirlX]

PLAYERS REFUSE RAINBOW JERSEYS — GAME FORFEITED

York Revolution players said no to the special Pride Night jerseys with rainbow sleeves.

Fewer than nine on the 28-man roster were willing to wear them. That was enough to force a forfeit against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs on June 18.

The club chose not to compel compliance or punish the refusal. They hosted the free community event anyway — music, batting practice, festivities as planned — and tickets were honored.

In sports and beyond, these themed nights often come with strong expectations of full, visible participation. Here, athletes drew a personal line on symbolic display they weren’t comfortable with.

That refusal is the story. Conscience over conformity. Boundaries over mandatory signaling. The organization, while voicing disappointment, didn’t override it with force or retaliation.

This stands out as a clear example of real choice prevailing. Compelling people to wear or endorse a symbol rarely builds genuine unity — it often breeds quiet resentment instead.

The players took the stand. The team respected it by not making it a disciplinary issue.

Way to go to those who held the line on principle.

What changes when athletes and organizations treat personal comfort and conscience as non-negotiable?

[John W @SCTiger73]

Bull Shit, Joey! Isreal v Hezbolah are not part of the MOU, unless you believe Hezbolah is managed by Iran.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

For the MOU to hold and result in a lasting peace, we must restrict aid to Israel immediately & make it clear that we will not defend them should Iran opt to strike in response to Israel’s attacks in Lebanon.

Israel has not responded to our verbal & written demands—that is not going to change, unless we change it by taking action.

Israel claims sovereignty & continues to threaten our peace deal, yet they rely on us to bail them out. This is calculated.

We have to respond accordingly and stop this cycle once and for all.

Lead with action: remove their leverage, otherwise they will not take us seriously.

An open SOH & peace in the region have to be our focus. Israel is playing spoiler—we must limit their ability to do so.

John Cornyn I can see, but very disappointed to see Sen. Kennedy included in this slimy group.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

.@SenJohnKennedy,

Is it true that you’re publicly supporting the SAVE America Act,

but then privately attacking those Senators that are actually pushing for the SAVE America Act?

It looks like you’re up for re-election in 2028.

[John W @SCTiger73]

We are losing @nycgov! But that may be a good thing!

Yes, ban it!

Birthright citizenship for kids of illegals was never the Founders’ intent. Time for the Supreme Court to end this.

What do YOU say? Should SCOTUS ban it?

Three Giants pitchers wore Bible verses on their Pride Night caps during Friday’s game.

[John W @SCTiger73]

Dan, you had your chance to protect America from a nuclear Iran and FAILED! Be glad we have a President willing to save American lives!

[Dan Shapiro @DanielBShapiro]

Until the text of the US-Iran deal is signed and released, there is going to be a lot of spin on both sides. But here is my initial take.

This war was a mistake, and it needs to end. The President thought that the Iranian regime would collapse quickly, but it did not. In fact, it has been strengthened strategically by its survival against a heavy US-Israeli assault and carrying out some effective counterstrikes. Many countries in the region are now courting Iran and looking to deescalate and rebuild ties. A sign of which way the wind is blowing.

Getting the Strait of Hormuz open is the most important outcome of this MOU. Of course, the Strait was open before the war. Now we are paying to reopen it with sanctions relief. Iran has taken a theoretical point of leverage and turned it into a very real and powerful one, imposing costs across the global economy and rattling President Trump.

As for the nuclear issues, there really is no agreement, other than to negotiate over the HEU stockpile and an enrichment moratorium. Iran knows how to drag out those negotiations, and try to pocket concessions along the way. It is possible that no deal will every be reached, and very likely that if one is reached, it will be worse than what we could have achieved through diplomacy before the war.

Iran is not likely to take seriously that the US would return to war, certainly before the US midterms. So that means we will be conducting diplomacy without a credible threat of force.

If any agreement ultimately reached actually safely puts Iran's nuclear ambitions out of reach, I'll acknowledge it. It's just too early to make that judgment.

Trump is mainly focused on comparing his deal favorably to the JCPOA. But we are a long way from being able to make that comparison, and it may end up no better, or weaker than that deal.

But in some ways, Trump's deal and the JCPOA are already similar. Nothing on ballistic missiles, nothing on proxies, nothing on weakening the regime or helping the Iranian people. And plenty of sanctions relief that will strengthen the regime, and be poured into the missile program and proxy network. Honest critics of the JCPOA will not twist themselves into pretzels to defend Trump's approach.

Israelis are deeply disappointed in this outcome, but they should not be surprised. After some initial overlap of Trump's and Netanyahu's interests, there was a strong divergence. The United States needed this war to end. Netanyahu wanted to continue.

Trump's claim to include Lebanon in the ceasefire and his harsh shutting down Israeli attacks on Hezbollah is also a win for Iran. After the JCPOA was signed, Obama and Netanyahu worked together to strengthen Israel's campaign of strikes in Syria to intercept Iranian weapons shipments to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

So let's hope we see the removal of Iran's enriched uranium and a long-term suspension of enrichment, with full verification. But to achieve those goals, Trump's team is going to need to engage in far more sophisticated diplomacy, backed by qualified experts, than they have to date. If it is a phase one splash with no follow-up on implementation of later phases, like in Gaza, we will be much worse off after, and because of, this war.

[Sam @DigitalSamIAm]

Can we debunk this nonsense?

Elon Musk was awarded (note: not given) cost-per-result contracts to perform a service for the US government. The total of those for SpaceX specifically is ~$22B, which includes repaid loans, state tax incentives, etc.

The deal was simple: put stuff into LEO at or below a set cost. If SpaceX does it below the set cost, SpaceX keeps the difference. If it doesn’t, the company is responsible for the overrun.

End result? SpaceX & Elon lowered the cost of getting 1 kg into LEO by 95-97% vs what NASA was paying previously.

And for the record, every other company around at the time was offered the same opportunity to bid on the contract - Musk/SpaceX just took it.

The handout narrative implies the taxpayer is the patron and SpaceX the dependent. The cost data shows the opposite: before SpaceX, NASA paid Russia’s Soyuz $80-86M per seat; SpaceX delivered at ~$55 million. SpaceX saved the US taxpayer $300M-$465M each year on that alone (the US sends 12-15 astronauts to space each year)

On the lunar lander, NASA estimated SpaceX’s fixed-price bid saved $20B-$30B vs the Boeing-preferred cost-plus approach.

So: SpaceX saved the US taxpayer more than the total value of contracts it earned on a single project, PLUS provided the US government with the requested services (put stuff in LEO) at the best possible price.

[John W @SCTiger73]

@JamieMetzl , care to respond? Lmao.

[Cav Senpai @cavannastan]

Again for those in the back, Elon once offered to cut a check for $6 BILLION to the WFB to "eliminate World hunger" as they said the money could. His one condition was that the accounting was public.

They did not accept.
