What is happening to @CaitlinClark22 right now is horrible.
This woman has carried the WNBA to new heights, yet they don’t seem to care that she is taking beatings left and right.
They even snubbed her on the WNBA's 30th-anniversary poster.
If the WNBA cares about the success of its brand, it needs to get smart and protect Clark.
My wife and I own Forest Park Pharmacy, and we don't accept insurance. None of it. That decision is exactly why we could fix what happened to a patient today.
A family came in wanting to transfer their kid's antibiotic to us. The child had already STARTED the course. Then, mid-treatment, the insurance company decided the last 14 tablets suddenly needed a "prior authorization" before the other pharmacy could hand them over. A sick kid, halfway through an antibiotic, and the answer was "please hold."
The drug is linezolid. It's a generic. It's been generic for over a decade. It treats serious gram-positive infections — the kind you do NOT want to stop antibiotics in the middle of, because an interrupted course is how you breed resistant bugs and end up right back where you started.
So why the hold-up on a cheap, common generic? Follow the fake math.
Insurance and the PBMs behind them price drugs off a number called AWP — "Average Wholesale Price." People in my industry have another name for it: "Ain't What's Paid." It's a benchmark number, not a real-world cost. On paper, the AWP for just those last 14 tablets is about $2,500.
My cash price for the same 14 tablets? $18.
Read that again. The system that's supposedly "protecting" this family from cost is the same system that inflated an $18 medication into a $2,500 line item, then slapped a prior auth on it to "review the expense" THEY invented. They manufactured the problem, then billed everyone for the privilege of solving it — and made a sick kid wait while they did it.
This is the whole game. When a drug is priced honestly, there's nothing to "manage." When it's priced off a fantasy benchmark, you get spread pricing, PA paperwork, pharmacy phone trees, and delayed treatment — all dressed up as cost control.
Here's the part nobody tells you: roughly 90% of prescriptions are low-cost generics. For the vast majority of what people pick up every day, running it through insurance does two things — raises the real cost and risks delaying your care. That's it. That's the value-add.
That's why we fired the insurance companies. No middleman deciding your kid can't finish their antibiotics on schedule. No fake prices. Just the real number, on the shelf, today.
The medication was always cheap. The insurance was the expensive part.

Imagine a woman fleeing an attacker—and her car won’t start because it thinks she’s impaired.
Imagine a farmer injured on the job—his truck won’t start because it thinks he’s drunk.
These are the unintended consequences of the Kill Switch mandate.

WOW! A drone show put on by a church in Manvel, Texas depicts our Savior Jesus on the cross.
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Tomorrow, HE IS RISEN.
Bill Maher drops a reality bomb on Zohram Mamdani voters with a brutal history lesson on socialism.
“We’ve run this experiment many times, and the results are always obvious,” Maher said.
He looked straight into the camera and delivered a blunt warning about Mamdani.
“Democrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the future of the party. Unfortunately, it’s the Republican Party.”
“Here’s capitalist South Korea at night from space,” Maher presented, showing a country lit up and thriving.
“Here’s socialist North Korea,” he followed, with the map pitch dark.
“Yeah. In 1990, Venezuela was wealthier than Poland. But then Poland, finally free of Soviet style economics, went all in on capitalism and now their economy is as big as Japan and people there have high wages, low inflation, cars, vacations, homes.”
“Meanwhile, Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chavez’s socialism for the 21st century, which turned out to be like socialism in the last century or any century, a f*cking mess.”
“It turned one of Latin America’s richest countries into one of its poorest. Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, 8 million people fleeing. If you think New York can somehow reinvent this wheel, you’re in for a rude awokening.”
There are no more slaves.
There are no more slave owners.
It’s NOT 1860.
It’s 2026.
And if you still see America only through the lens of chains and plantations, you’re ignoring the power of what this country actually is.
My great-great-grandfather was born a slave on Rosedown Plantation just north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
That’s not a history book.
That’s my bloodline.
Fast forward a few generations.
Three of his great-great-grandchildren graduated from West Point.
Three served in the United States military.
At one point, my brother, my sister, and I were all deployed to Baghdad at the same time: defending this great nation.
And now?
One of his descendants is running for the United States Senate — and surging.
Not because of the color of my skin.
Not because of a box I check.
But because of service.
Because of character.
Because I love this country and I’m willing to fight for it.
And yes… I’ve done all of this as a conservative.
Here’s the question no one on the left wants to answer:
If America is systemically racist and permanently broken… how does a family go from slavery to West Point to combat deployments to United States Congress in just a few generations?
That story doesn’t exist everywhere.
It exists here.
Let’s have that conversation.
"It's not the police who need to be retrained, it's the public. We have grown into a mouthy, mobile phone wielding, vulgar, uncivil society with no personal responsibility and the attitude of 'it's the other person's fault, you owe me'. A society where children grow up with no boundaries or knowledge or concern for civil society and personal responsibility.
When an officer says "Put your hands up," then put your hands up! Don't reach for something in your pocket, your lap, your seat. There's plenty of reason for a police officer to feel threatened, there have been multiple assaults and ambushes on police officers lately. Comply with requests from the officer, have your day in court. Don't mouth off, or fight, or refuse to comply... that escalates the situation.
Police officers are our sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters. They're black, white, brown, all colors, all ethnicities, all faiths, male and female, they are us. They see the worst side of humanity... the raped children, the bloody mangled bodies of traffic victims, the bruised and battered victims of domestic violence, homicide victims, body parts... day after day.
They work holidays while we have festive meals with our families. They miss school events with their kids, birthdays, anniversaries, all those special occasions that we take for granted. They work in all types of weather, under dangerous conditions, for relatively low pay.
They have extensive training, but they are human. When there are numerous attacks on them, they become hyper vigilant for a reason, they have become targets. When a police officer encounters any person... any person, whether at a traffic stop, a street confrontation, an arrest, whatever... that situation has the potential to become life threatening. You, Mr & Mrs/Miss Civilian, also have the responsibility of keeping the situation from getting out of control.
Many law enforcement officers are Veterans. They've been in service to this nation most of their lives, whether on the battlefield or protecting us here at home. They are the only thing that stands between us and anarchy in the streets.
If you want to protect your child, teach them respect."

I hope Americans wake up and realize that Muslims do not want to take away only your dogs.
They want to take away your freedom of having dogs. It is about control and dominance.
This pro-Palestinian Mamdani supporter Nerdeen Kiswani just posted that finally NYC is coming to Islam. She means Islam is taking over New York. She added that dogs definitely have a place in society but just not as indoor pets. She said like we have said all along they are unclean. She puts herself in a position to dictate what her host society in the West should look like.
Then Congressman Randy Fine replied that if they force us to choose the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.
As an Iranian and a Muslim I am totally in line with this statement. He is totally right. I have been to Mecca and I own a dog myself.
But then Jake Tapper the CNN guy came to the rescue screaming disgusting bigotry. @GavinNewsom said resign now you racist slob. Apparently the Governor of California is not educated enough to know that Islam is not a race. He does not seem to understand that Muslims can actually choose to be civilized respectful citizens and not dominating savages.
This is not about dogs. This is not about Islam. It is about control and domination.
I am Iranian. We have been through this before. Iranians are Muslims. Our Shah our king his first name was “Mohammad” Reza for God's sake. But still they managed to take power in Iran in the name of Islam.
Back in 1979, Islamists had no luck until France welcomed Khomeini as a refugee. There the same exact cult the pro-Palestine leftists helped him to portray the Shah of Iran as the ultimate enemy a corrupt regime that must be annihilated.
Among all Shah’s crimes being pro-West pro-US pro-Israel supportive of women's rights his worst crime was loving dogs. Not just as family members but he funded and equipped hospitals for pets.
The leftists liberals Democrats corrupt elite in academia and media portrayed this monster as a freedom fighter spread lies about the Shah on BBC rioted against him. They enabled Islamists secretly gave weapons to them. They took Iran toppled the Shah through extreme violence.
Now in Iran dogs are not legally allowed as pets. People still have them of course but they have to hide them and wait until dark to take them out. Because authorities not only seize them and kill them they fine them massively or punish by 70 lashes. This is the reality under Shia Islamic rule the Islamo-leftists.
The issue with many Americans is that they only know Sunni Islam from 9/11.
But Mamdani Khomeini Khamenei they are Shia Muslims. They play the oppressed card and use Islam as a tool for power. Mamdani's mother was partying with Bill Clinton and Jeff Bezos at Epstein place in 2009. He has been groomed to seize power behind this façade of a grassroots pro-Palestine Muslim.
And just like in Iran the enablers which I call traitors are the Democrats and the corrupt elite in academia and media.
So Americans please do not be naive. Do not hand your freedom to these enemies of life.
Protect what you have unapologetically and fiercely.
Otherwise you will have to fight to get it back just like Iranians are still fighting today. Do not think it will not happen to you. It will if you do not stand up now.
Choose freedom. Do not give in to their lies. Choose dogs.
Be like @RepFine not @jaketapper .
Share if this wakes you up. From an Iranian who lived it.
The FBI is investigating a possible “biological lab” found inside a Las Vegas home, where agents discovered mysterious vials, lab equipment and unidentified substances. @AaronKatersky reports.
