One of the best stories from the Mexico Open you didn't hear about until now:

Steven Fisk finished T2 last week, but the story is about his caddie for the week, a Americas Tour player named Mason Williams.

A few weeks ago Williams finished in a three way tie for 2nd in the Americas Tour Championship. Had he finished in a two way tie...he would have earned his KFT card. Instead he finished 11th in points, one spot shy of a KFT card.

And while 10th has exempt status on KFT and a guaranteed 14 starts...11th has to go back to second stage, with nothing guaranteed.

Williams was feeling pretty bummed out when the phone rang. Fisk was on the other end asking if he would caddie for him in Mexico. Fisk hadn't planned to play but didn't play well in Japan so decided to add Mexico and his regular caddie had already made plans.

So Fisk called Williams and the pair finished T2 and $534K.

The money Williams earned from that is huge. The Americas Tour is expensive. Williams has lived wherever he could over the last few years, a few months at each place. At his moms, girlfriends, buddies, wherever it was free.

"It gave some freedom to set up a permanent place to live and maybe a course to practice at. Just having the ability to think about those things is huge."

Williams said over and over again how much the week meant to him, how much he learned being inside the ropes, what life is like outside the ropes on Tour, etc.

He closed by saying "I can't overstate how appreciative I am of Steven offering me the job (for the week). I probably cost him a shot a day, but it was a life changing experience."

Pretty awesome.

Laken Riley had a Garmin smartwatch on when she was attacked

Her heart rate jumped to 170 bpm which told investigators that was when she was being attacked

It lasted for 17 minutes then suddenly stopped - that's when the animal finally killed her

So the next time you want to tell me about how unfair illegal immigrants are being treated I want you to set a timer for 17 minutes and watch it go by so you can understand how long that young woman fought for her life

If ESPN had a clue they’d put Trump and Peyton Manning on set at 11:30am and have those 2 plus Saban and McAfee making picks for the final 30 minutes of Gameday.

Social media would spontaneously combust.

The internet would meltdown.

2008 was an oil crisis. 2026 is a refining crisis.

2008 (peak)
Oil = $147
Diesel = $4.76 retail
Gasoline = $4.16 retail

Today
Oil = $95
Diesel = $6.53 retail
Gasoline = $4.52 retail

Meet Ivy Gibbins.

Ivy is currently the Chair of the Effingham County Democratic Committee and also serves as Rural Caucus Chair for the Young Democrats of Georgia.

Outside the Effingham County Administrative Complex, Ivy uses side-walk chalk to write a large message about a Commissioner, “Burdette is a …”, while her children watch.

But when she’s not raging…she’s wanting a 'safe community' for all.
These people talk out of both side of their mouth and are psychopaths.

And here is a 2013 report on Freedom of the Press Warrior Barack Obama's admin spying on Fox News reporter James Rosen.

CBS News: "For the first time ever, a presidential administration is treating news reporting like a crime and a reporter like a criminal suspect."

"The level of government surveillance over a reporter was unprecedented."

"No presidential administration, not even the Nixon administration, went after reporters with search warrants and secret surveillance."

Obama can rewrite his history like this without any serious pushback from the modern-day legacy press because they are his staunch political allies and loyal propagandists.

🚨 TODD BEAMER, UNITED 93 PHONE CALL: "LET'S ROLL" 🇺🇸

Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.

Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?

Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.

Lisa: Your name?

Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.

Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.

Lisa: Are you okay?

Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.

Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?

Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.

Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.

Lisa: I promise.

Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.

Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)

Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.

Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.

Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.

Lisa: What are you going to do?

Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.

Todd: Would you pray with me? [They pray the Lord’s Prayer.] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.

Todd: God help me. Jesus help me. Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

For four months, US Navy SEALs were secretly clearing Iranian mines from the Strait of Hormuz, sometimes literally diving into the water to place explosives on the mines themselves. Not a single American casualty has been reported.

While Iran was bragging about controlling the Strait and Western media repeated every inane threat out of Tehran, American servicemen were quietly underwater blowing up their mines.

Iran lies incessantly and our media keeps treating their claims like actual news.

All while the US military goes out and does the actual work.

Atlanta is not Georgia. Georgia is Georgia.

Florida built ten airports that matter. We built one and told the rest of the state to drive.

Every corner of this state deserves its own door.

Gulfstream builds the most advanced private jets in the world at its headquarters in Savannah, Georgia. Over 5,500 people work there.

Charleston's airport handles 6.3 million people a year, while Savannah's airport handles 1.6 million passengers.

We build the jets, but can’t seem to make more than one major airport in Georgia.
