Caution didn't win women the vote, or equal pay, or fair sport, or the right to single-sex spaces. Sophie Cunningham is standing up for women and girls everywhere and it's glorious. Fuck caution.
President Obama tells Caitlin Clark not to let the media nonsense get her down and that she’s a great player. Then asks for a picture with her. Left wing narratives are in shambles here. Good for Obama.
Sophie Cunningham responds to criticism over her recent comments to ESPN about wanting to protect women's sports from "biological men."
"I said what I said. I think it's kind of common sense.
When it comes just to protecting young girls in sport and women in sport, I feel very strongly about that. That's why you have Title IX.
That's why you have some of the greats in women's sports. If Title IX women's sports weren't protected, then you wouldn't hear about any type of women in sport.
I have never once said that I hated the trans community."
In her interview with ESPN, Cunningham had said:
"I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."
Rep Gill: "Is it important to be polite?"
Smithsonian Director Anthea Hartig: "Yes, sir."
Rep Gill: "Your organization says 'politeness' is White Supremacy culture... are you a white supremacist?"
🇫🇷 #TDF2026
Over the past few years, you battled against the very best riders in the world. You excelled in the toughest mountains, earning five consecutive overall podium finishes, including two victories on the top step in Paris.
An achievement we, as a team, are incredibly proud of. But above all, we’re deeply grateful. You have left your mark on the Tour.
Sadly, your incredible run in the Tour came to an end today. But we know you never give up, and we have no doubt you’ll come back stronger.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, champion! ❤️🩹
WHOA: Bill Maher tells ABC’s Jonathan Karl that his 2028 vote is officially “in play.”
Maher says he will refuse to support the Democrats if the party continues to go down the “communism” road.
KARL: “You told JD Vance you’re open…your vote is up for grabs?”
MAHER: “Yes, my vote is in play.”
“Because it can’t be Trump running…so I’m not living in communist America.”
“I mean, I know the talking point is that, it’s not communism and socialism.”
“Okay. I’ve read the quotes from the DSA platform, from their own mouths.”
“Don’t tell me I’m not seeing what I am seeing!”
“And DSA, again, they say things like, you know, take over of key industries, government.”
“That’s communism.”
I'm gay. Always have been. Love my husband, built a life together like normal people do.
And I'm so fed up with the Alphabet Mafia.
Pride went from 'leave us alone' to 'affirm kids, castrate teens, erase women, and call me a bigot if I say no.'
Transing children isn't care — it's child abuse.
Men in women's sports isn't inclusion — it's cheating.
'Minor attracted persons' isn't a sexuality — it's pedophilia rebranded.
I didn't fight for gay rights so the movement could become this circus of sterilization, compelled speech, and grooming.
Real gay people want peace, not endless revolution.
If that makes me a 'traitor,' so be it. Truth over tribe.
Woman: ”I am a woman of color, daughter of immigrants, Muslim feminist, lefty liberal. Am I your enemy?”
Jared Taylor: ”You're not subjectively my enemy. But what you are promoting will lead to the disappearance of my people and my culture.
And I'll tell you this: It annoys me tremendously when I'm told by some immigrant or a child of immigrants that the only reason my country is worthwhile is because people like them have come here. It's as if to say my ancestors built a dung heap.
And I don't doubt your good will, but your goodwill is objectively going to lead to the oblivion of my people. I'm sorry, there is no other way to see it.”
Scott Jennings and Laura Coates battle over Platner on CNN:
"Why didn't this other stuff give you any pause?"
"It was only this most recent allegation. So Nazi tattoo, domestic violence against Lyndsey Fifield. She was a conservative, which they raked over the coals at the time she came out. Masturbating in porta potties, wishing death on military service members, self-described communist. All of that is fine, but this latest victim, her politics were correct and his poll numbers are falling."
The hilarious irony is that people on Bluesky hate the US so much that in tonight’s soccer game they are rooting for the most brutal colonial oppressor in the last couple hundred years.
The most interesting part of the red card saga isn't the ruling. It's how differently Americans and Europeans process the idea that they might have been wronged.
Europeans are fundamentally different from Americans in one particular way: they expect life to be aggravating and at times unfair. It's just a fact of moving through the world. I joke that in Europe, the customer is always wrong. You didn't read the fine print. The only pharmacy in town is closed every other Tuesday for three hours, and even if the times weren't posted, that's still your problem. Too bad if you want the bill, because the waiter's on his union-mandated half-hour smoke break, and you're just going to have to wait.
To quote the great Mark Knopfler: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. There's something freeing in that. Things are less in your control, so there's less angst in managing your expectations.
In America, things couldn't be more different. We simply can't accept a wrong left unrighted.
The flight attendant sneezed handing you a drink on your one-hour flight? 15,000 frequent flyer miles. Didn't like your appetizer? A replacement is on the way, and the whole course comes off the bill. There's a reason our interstates are lined with trial lawyer billboards.
Europeans have turned complaining into a continental pastime with no expectation that the universe owes them a remedy for their grief. You gripe about the train being late, your friends nod solemnly and everyone goes back to their apéro. In America, we launch a full-blown investigation of the train system, sue the government (and its contractors) that allowed for the tardiness and hold a Congressional hearing on the state of national infrastructure.
So to an objective observer, the red card shouldn't have happened, and VAR was a travesty. To Americans, our star player shouldn't be unfairly banned from a match we couldn't afford to lose for a card he so obviously didn't deserve.
Who cares that FIFA used a little-used reversal to fix it. Who cares that other people are mad about it. We. Were. Wronged. It was unjust. It must be corrected. We would accept nothing less.
Europeans waxing poetic about the sanctity of the game are, of course, talking about a governing body whose last tournament host was decided via confirmed cash bribes — one that imposed dress codes on women, shrugged off widespread allegations of modern slavery and reconfigured the entire tournament calendar to suit the host country. Which is exactly the point. If you've made peace with all of that, at least enough to watch the tournament four years later, a probationary suspension isn't actually a scandal.
Maybe that's the real divide. Over millennia, Europeans have made peace with being the bug. Americans have never once considered it, and apparently, we're not about to start now.
He doesn’t understand America. No one — no one! — who believes America is exceptional thinks so because we are “richer.” We’re not Qatar. We are exceptional because we are built on a covenant that establishes liberty as our basic principle. That’s exactly what he wants to change.
Your father writes books justifying terrorism and your mother is an internationally acclaimed filmmaker. You hold nauseating views about the West, and you still got elected as Mayor of the best city in the world. This country gave you everything. Go kick rocks you ungrateful, confused nepo baby. God bless America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
When CBS Reporter Margaret Brennan tried to outsmart Medal of Honor recipient Will Swenson, she got an answer she didn't expect.
BRENNAN: "Before I let you go, we are coming up on this 250th anniversary of the American experience. I know I can't ask you a question like, are you optimistic? What specifically makes you optimistic? Because this country, at times, can feel dark, these days, there's a lot of darkness. What makes you feel optimistic?"
WILL SWENSON: "Well, ultimately, because we're in Washington DC and everything revolves around politics, we have to remember that politics aren't everything. American lives continue on. Children are born, children go to school. Lives are achieved. Dreams are achieved. This country is a great place. It's not politics. It's not just what's the news bites coming off of media. Ultimately, we continue forward as a country, continually imperfect, continually evolving forward, always trying to achieve a more perfect union. That's what's important to remember, what we can achieve aspirationally. No other place in history, time or on this planet have ever gotten to where we are today. We need to be proud of that, and we need to remember that is what we stay focused on, what we can be."
I'm sure you've all seen it by now, but the Birmingham Police said not to share it, so here it is.
A man was attacked by a gang of black men. Police, with a full view of the incident, grabbed the victim instead. Have they learned nothing?
He swung at the cop as he got up after being knocked down by the gang. It's reasonable to think the attackers were continuing their assault, so he swung in self defense. No normal person in that situation would expect police to be grabbing them. He should sue these retards.
🚨NOW: Rep. Brandon Gill GOES HARD against Democrat food stamps witness
GILL: "Do you satiate hunger with Coca-Cola? [...] Is your organization funded by organizations that make money from food stamps?"
WITNESS: *Silence*
GILL: "Do organizations who profit off food stamps fund your organization?"
WITNESS: "I can't comment to that."
GILL: "Does General Mills fund your organization?"
WITNESS: "I don't have access to that information."
GILL: "I do. It's right here. They do fund your organization. Do they profit off food stamps?"
WITNESS: "Retailers are the major beneficiaries."
GILL: "Do you think that's a conflict of interest? They're profiting off your advocacy. Do you think that's a conflict of interest?"
*Silence*
"Most people think that's a conflict of interest. I know you don't want to answer."
