Watched my first full WNBA game tonight @IndianaFever v @seattlestorm
1. WNBA refs are the worst
2. There is a lot of talent in this league, and there are some really shitty players.
3. Clark is MJ of this league and it’s not close.
4. Stephanie White is garbage.
5. ❤️ Sophie
This is what happens when you don’t address criminal behavior in the hope that it magically goes away. Everyone from the liberal voters to the Mayor to the SPD Chief to the prosecutors to the judges is complicit. 🔥
I can’t imagine how shitty it would be to be the Police Chief of a crazy-beans-lefty city like Seattle, but that is a legit question, and you *cannot* act like that, ever.
DEI Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes appeared to want to fight a journalist after he was asked about not being in the state often for work. It was learned that Barnes was in Dallas, Texas when the mass sh—ting happened.
The press conference was delayed for over five hours after the shooting on July 26 at the Bite of Seattle food festival. Three were killed, and seven others were injured. The city did not inform the public for all those hours that a suspect was and still is at large.
A black 15-year-old of unknown sex was detained, but officials aren't sure if the teen is the one who killed people. https://t.co/eruxyD5BQB
My reporting was correct. We now have the body cam footage of Sunny Hostin. She immediately tries to leverage her status to get her son out of trouble, and mentions he’s a Harvard graduate. What kind of Harvard graduate can’t read No Trespassing signs?
More than half of Americans say this summer is hotter than usual, and two-thirds suspect climate change is to blame for worse summer weather.

The International Criminal Court seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law — empowered to prosecute and arrest our citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty.
We will teach the ICC the full meaning of American resolve.
The guy who can’t even build 1 foot of train tracks with $120 Bn and 7 years in office is trying to take shots at the guy who is landing rocket ships backwards and catching them in midair with chopsticks?
Ok, bro.
As a Korean immigrant, today on her 250th birthday, I reflect on the greatness and excellence of America. Not the deracinated, borderless version peddled by globalists, but the real America of Washington, Jefferson, and the hardy stock who built her from Plymouth Rock to the Pacific.
America was not built by abstract ideas or “propositions” for the world. She was forged in blood, faith, and steel by European Christian settlers who tamed a wilderness, declared independence under God, and secured the blessings of liberty for themselves and their posterity. From the Mayflower to the Revolution, through two World Wars, and being a shining beacon on a hill, this is a people and a heritage worth preserving.
I love America not because she is a hotel for every tribe on earth, but because she is a real nation rooted in the Anglo-Protestant tradition, ordered liberty, family, church, and the rule of law. As an immigrant and naturalized citizen, I know my place: a grateful guest and defender of what the Founders intended, not a re-maker of it. True patriotism means rejecting lies that tarnish her identity, restoring her culture, and ensuring her posterity inherits what their fathers wrought.
To the historic American people, your courage, ingenuity, and unapologetic love for your own, happy 250th. What an exceptional heritage you have. May we restore what made you great, honor your ancestors, and ensure this land remains yours for generations to come. The inheritance of America is worth preserving and fighting for.
God bless the United States of America. Happy birthday America, happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸✞ I LOVE AMERICA! Christ is King!
America burned Japan's first gift of cherry trees. All 2,000 of them, on President Taft's direct order.
The 1910 shipment arrived in DC crawling with insects and nematodes. Agriculture inspectors condemned the lot, Taft signed off on the bonfire, and the State Department braced for a diplomatic disaster. Tokyo's mayor, Yukio Ozaki, responded by sending 3,020 more, grafted from the famous grove along the Arakawa River.
Those trees have spent a century paying the friendship back.
Four days after Pearl Harbor, vandals chopped down four of them. Park officials renamed the survivors "Oriental" cherry trees for the rest of the war to protect them from axes.
Then came the twist. By 1952 the original Arakawa grove in Tokyo, the parent stock, had nearly died from wartime neglect. Japan asked Washington for help. The Park Service shipped budwood from DC's trees back across the Pacific and restored the grove that created them. When a flood wiped out more Japanese trees in 1982, horticulturists took 800 fresh cuttings from the Tidal Basin.
These 250 new trees solve a real problem too. The Tidal Basin is sinking, and a $133 million seawall rebuild forced crews to rip out roughly 150 trees. Japan offered replacements before anyone asked, timed to America's 250th birthday.
So the genetics run in a loop. Tokyo's grove seeded Washington's. Washington's saved Tokyo's. The saplings going in this spring descend from both.
114 years of diplomacy, running on grafted branches.
Watching the western left openly celebrate this was a genuinely shocking moment for me. Of course they tried to walk it back, but a lot of people showed their true faces that day.
The record for this rescued dog at the shelter said she liked two things: water and sand. So the first thing her new owner did after adopting her was take her to the beach…
Before the Crusades, two-thirds of the Christian world had already fallen under Islamic rule.
Your school probably skipped that part.
They taught you the Crusades began in 1095, as if Christians just woke up one morning and decided to march east for no reason.
But history did not begin in 1095.
By then, Islamic armies had already conquered massive portions of the Christian world:
Syria.
Egypt.
North Africa.
The Holy Land.
Spain.
In 711 AD, Islamic forces crossed into Spain.
By 732 AD, they had pushed all the way into France.
That is where Charles Martel met them at the Battle of Tours and stopped the advance into Western Europe.
Some historians consider it one of the most decisive battles in world history.
So when people talk about the Crusades without mentioning the 400 years before them, they are not giving you history.
They are giving you a narrative.
Were the Crusades complicated?
Of course.
Were Christians perfect?
No.
But the idea that the Crusades were some random act of Christian aggression is historically dishonest.
The real story begins long before 1095.
And once you know what happened before the Crusades, the entire conversation changes.
They buried this.
Now you know.
