Shaq says he never heard a player say they feared LeBron James
"I've heard players say, including myself, 'I feared [Michael Jordan].' I've heard players in [Mario Chalmers's] generation say they feared Kobe. I've never really heard any player say they feared LeBron."

En arrivant au Brésil et en étant témoin de l'esclavage de près, Charles Darwin écrivit :
« Près de Rio de Janeiro, ma voisine d'en face était une vieille dame qui possédait des vis-pouces avec lesquelles elle écrasait les doigts de ses esclaves. Dans une maison où j'avais séjourné auparavant, un jeune serviteur mulâtre était, chaque jour et à toute heure, insulté, battu et pourchassé avec une fureur capable de décourager jusqu'au plus vil des animaux.
J'ai vu un enfant de six ou sept ans frappé à la tête avec un fouet (avant que je puisse intervenir) parce qu'il m'avait servi un verre d'eau légèrement trouble...
Et ce sont là des actes commis par des hommes qui prétendent aimer leur prochain comme eux-mêmes, qui croient en Dieu, et qui prient pour que Sa volonté soit faite sur terre !
Le sang bout dans nos veines et nos cœurs s'emballent quand nous songeons que nous, les Anglais, et nos descendants américains avec leurs cris fanfarons pour la liberté, avons été et sommes encore coupables de cet énorme crime. »
(Charles Darwin, Le Voyage du Beagle)
🚨MUST-WATCH: Rep. Dean just read a page of Virginia Giuffre’s book to Todd Blanche:
"I hope for a world in which predators are punished, not protected; victims are treated with compassion, not shamed; and powerful people face the same consequences as anyone else."
POWERFUL! 💔
In February, Pam Bondi told the House Oversight Committee about the redacted names in the Epstein files: "If any man's name was redacted, that should not have been. We will, of course, unredact it."
She is the Attorney General. The names are still redacted.
DeLauro: You just gave the President’s family a tax immunity. The Save America PAC paid you $10 million. Do you not see the conflict of interest?
Blanche: I do not understand what you are saying.
Under oath in 2010, a lawyer asked Jeffrey Epstein where he kept the calendar of his underage sex appointments.
Epstein did not deny the calendar existed.
He invoked his Fifth Amendment right and refused to answer.
🚨THIS IS INFURIATING.
Watch how Republicans try to end Rep. Dean’s time almost THREE MINUTES EARLY when she starts asking Todd Blanche about Epstein.
Absolutely disgusting.
A Congressman Claims Newly Unredacted Epstein Files Contradict Trump's Public Denials.
During a hearing, the lawmaker said documents in the government's possession confirm Trump was on Epstein's plane, despite past statements denying it.
But his bigger point wasn't about one flight.
It was about the redactions.
Holding up heavily blacked-out investigative files, he argued the public is being asked to trust conclusions they cannot independently verify.
The administration disputes allegations of a cover-up.
Critics say every new redaction raises the same question:
What exactly are Americans not being allowed to see?
BLANCHE: The president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period
IVEY: What's the legal basis for that?
BLANCHE: The Constitution
IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery
Ghana Rejects South Africa's Gold Fields Licence Renewal.
The Ghanaian government has officially rejected the renewal of South Africa's Gold Fields mining licence, marking a significant shift toward resource nationalism.
The move signals the government's growing commitment to ensuring that Ghana's natural resources deliver greater benefits to Ghanaian citizens, with increased local participation and ownership at the centre of its strategy.
🚨 The Most Shocking Part Of The Alabama Redistricting Case Isn't The Map.
It's What The Supreme Court Said About It.
According to critics of the ruling, the Court acknowledged that Black voters were being denied equal political representation under Alabama's congressional map.
Yet despite recognizing the problem, the Court ultimately allowed the map to remain in place.
That's why opponents see the decision as so consequential.
The debate is no longer over whether discrimination occurred.
It's over what happens when a court identifies it and the map survives anyway.
It's a fight over whether voting rights protections still have teeth.
“People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.” -Assata Shakur
DEAN: You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the Epstein files?
BLANCHE: We have complied with the law
DEAN: There are 3 million more documents. And you know what you said to me? 'They include another guy named Epstein.' Nobody is buying it
*the time of the gentlelady has expired*
DEAN: I beg your pardon? How do I get cut off 2 minutes into this? What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up.
Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
