I want to ask the students screaming “Death to America”, do you have any idea what happens when American values die?

Because I do.

My family fled Iran, a country where freedom died. You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.

You think America is oppressive because you have never experienced real oppression.

You think silence is violence because you’ve never been silenced.

You think words are dangerous because you have never watched a government drag someone away for speaking them.

You think capitalism is evil because you have never stood in a bread line.

You think borders are immoral because you have never had to flee across one.

You think revolution is romantic because you have never had a revolution take everything from you.

I have.

And that’s why I refuse to be quiet.

@coltynsanderson Coltyn: I can agree with you, but only if all elimination rounds are also 5x5. Don’t care about the pool play. Absent that, I’m fine with the 3x3 and no shootout. Can’t just be the Gold medal game, in my opinion.

The hatred Charlie Kirk spread:

- men cannot be women
- the Constitution is good
- 2A shouldn’t be infringed
- free speech is good
- open debate is better than violence

This is why the Left says Charlie deserved to die.

@OppositePicks Scott: Do we count post season production in baseball? No. Do we count post season production in basketball? No. Do we count post season production in football? No. So why should we count post season production in hockey?

@CSimmsQB @DKSportsbook @DraftKings @SNFonNBC @ConnorJRogers @49ers @NBCS49ers Hey Chris while I understand Purdy might not be a top 10 QB who that you think is better is actually available to the Niners? I think he’s similar to Montana at the same stage. Joe had great weapons too.I just think Purdy is worth a 4 year deal at $35M per with 3 years guaranteed

@Robrev2 @SunDevilHockey Also matters what the teams just above you did and against whom. If they don’t lose, hard to pass them. Example: Penn St. with a win and tie on the road against #2 Michigan St.

[Ron Seeley @SportsDoc63]

@SunDevilHockey Great season for the Devils. Really hope they make the National Tourney. Remember the Pairwise is the only poll that ends up mattering. Right now at #16, need to get to at least 13, but realistically 12 if they don’t win NCHC Tourney. Problematic is their 2-5 record in OT.

@WDAsports Player on the right is Jason Sinness. Player in the middle is Bryan Seeley. Don’t remember who wore the #6 sweater.

[Ron Seeley @SportsDoc63]

@NDScores It is very much appreciated that you are taking the time to keep people informed on the ND team in the ALWS. I have no doubt you would be doing it for any ND team. Thank you!

[Ron Seeley @SportsDoc63]

Wow! We can disagree, but this is a pathetic response! Maybe think before you hit send next time. Peace.

BRAZIL IS ON THE BRINK

I’m reporting to you from Brazil, where a dramatic series of events are underway.

At 5:52 pm Eastern Time, today, April 6, 2024, X corporation, formerly known as Twitter, announced that a Brazilian court had forced it to “block certain popular accounts in Brazil.”

Then, less than one hour later, the owner of X, @ElonMusk announced that X would defy the court’s order, and lift all restrictions.

“As a result,” said Musk, “we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit.”

At any moment, Brazil’s Supreme Court could shut off all access to X/Twitter for the people of Brazil.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Brazil is on the brink of dictatorship at the hands of a totalitarian Supreme Court Justice named Alexandre de Moraes.

President Lula da Silva is participating in the push toward totalitarianism. Since taking office, Lula has massively increased government funding of the mainstream news media, most of which are encouraging increased censorship.

What Lula and de Moraes are doing is an outrageous violation of Brazil’s constitution and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

At this moment, Brazil is not yet a dictatorship. It still has elections and the Brazilian people have other means at their disposal to confront authoritarianism.

But the Federal Supreme Court and the Superior Electoral Court are directly interfere in those elections through censorship.

Three days ago I published the Twitter Files for Brazil. They show that Moraes has violated the Brazilian Constitution. Moraes illegally demanded that Twitter reveal private information about Twitter users who used hashtags he considered inappropriate. He demanded access to Twitter's internal data, violating the platform's policy. He censored, on his own initiative and without any respect for due process, posts on Twitter by parliamentarians from the Brazilian Congress. And Moraes tried to turn Twitter's content moderation policies into a weapon against supporters of then-president Jair Bolsonaro.

I say this as an independent and non-partisan journalist. I'm not a fan of either Bolsonaro or Trump. My political views are very moderate. But I know censorship when I see it.

The Twitter Files also revealed that Google, Facebook, Uber, WhatsApp and Instagram betrayed the people of Brazil. If such evidence is proven, the executives of these companies behaved like cowards: they provided the Brazilian government with personal registration data and telephone numbers without a court order and, therefore, violating the law.
When Twitter refused to provide Brazilian authorities with private user information, including direct messages, the government attempted to sue Twitter's top Brazilian lawyer.

When I lived in Brazil in 1992, I was very left-wing. At the time, Lula and the PT's slogans were “Without fear of being happy”.

In recent days, I have spoken to dozens of Brazilians, including professors, journalists and respected lawyers. Everyone tells me they are shocked by what is happening. They told me that they are afraid to speak their mind and that the Lula government is complicit in creating this climate of fear.

Brazil belongs to the Brazilians. It is not my country. As such, there are limits to what I am capable of doing.

But I can say things that many Brazilians do not feel safe saying: Alexandre de Moraes is a tyrant. And the only way to deal with tyrants is to confront them. It is up to Brazil’s senators to confront the tyrant. And it is up to the people of Brazil to demand that their senators do so.
