Just had a lunch downtown at Club Paris. Parked next to Peratrovich Park on 4th Ave. There were a dozen or so zombies and vagrants all around the park.

When I came back to my car I saw a clearly mentally ill man walking around acting aggressive, spitting and yelling. He made a woman walking down the sidewalk visibly uncomfortable.

Then I noticed some fuck threw food all over my car. It was all over the door, window, and hood. I had to go to the gas station to scrub it all off.

It makes my blood boil seeing what we have allowed to happen to Anchorage, especially downtown.

As a writer, it is becoming increasingly difficult to cover the WNBA with the distance the job requires.

That is not something I say lightly.

Any serious writer understands the responsibility of separating observation from emotion, evidence from outrage, and analysis from personal bias. But Cathy Engelbert and the WNBA are making that separation harder by the day.

The latest example is almost impossible to defend.

The commissioner released a statement that appeared far more concerned with protecting the image of Caitlin Clark’s attacker than addressing what happened to Caitlin Clark herself... a star player who was throat punched, kneed, and trampled in a sequence that had very nothing to do with basketball.

At some point, silence becomes its own statement.

At some point, selective outrage becomes evidence.

And at some point, the refusal to protect the league’s most important player stops looking like incompetence and starts looking intentional.

Caitlin Clark did not enter the WNBA asking to be a symbol. She came to play basketball. She came to compete. She came to join a league filled with players she once admired.

Instead, she has been asked to endure a level of hostility that no professional organization should tolerate.

The physical play is only part of the issue.

The larger failure is institutional.

The league has failed her. The Fever have failed her. Too many players have failed her. And now the commissioner has failed her publicly.

The next few days will be telling.

At a bare minimum, the Fever organization, its coaches, and its players should publicly support Caitlin Clark and make clear that what happened to her should never be normalized.

They do not need to attack anyone.

They do not need to escalate the controversy.

But they do need to stand beside their teammate.

Because if they do not, it becomes increasingly difficult to see a healthy path forward for Clark in a league where she is asked to absorb repeated physical punishment, public minimization, and institutional silence without visible support from the people closest to her professionally.

There is also a human element here that should not be ignored.

Clark is not just a basketball asset.

She is someone’s daughter.

Someone’s sister.

Someone’s friend.

And at some point, the people around her... family, representatives, sponsors, and trusted advisors... may need to ask whether any amount of money, fame, or professional opportunity is worth this level of physical and emotional strain.

Basketball is supposed to be demanding.

It is not supposed to be dehumanizing.

Clark has handled it with grace. That should be acknowledged.

But grace should not be required in the face of repeated mistreatment.

There comes a point when asking a young athlete to keep absorbing the blows... physical, public, and psychological... becomes indefensible.

For months, I dismissed calls for outside intervention as excessive.

I no longer feel that way.

If the WNBA cannot protect its own players fairly, then perhaps it is time for someone outside the league to ask why.

Fans, media members, former players, abuse survivors, and anyone who cares about basic fairness should speak up.

This is no longer just about basketball.

It is about workplace protection.

It is about institutional accountability.

It is about whether a professional league can allow one of its employees to be targeted, minimized, and publicly abandoned without consequence.

The WNBA does not need another statement.

It needs accountability.

And it needs it now.

Happy Birthday to the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. A relentless patriot who fights every day for the country he loves, the people he serves, and the American Dream. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

THIS IS THE MOST EPIC VIDEO YOU’LL SEE TODAY.
A U.S. Army paratrooper flying the massive American flag like a damn cape right over the Lincoln Memorial and National Mall at sunset. Old Glory dominating the D.C. skyline.
Freedom isn’t just words — it’s this level of badass.
This is America.
🔥 Drop a 🇺🇸 if you’re proud. Repost to wake people up.

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

Remember the guy who wouldn't take the flag pole down on his Virginia property awhile back? You might remember the news story several months ago about a crotchety old man in Virginia who defied his local Homeowners Association and refused to take down the flag pole on his property along with the large American flag he flew on it.

Now we learn who that old man was. On June 15, 1919, Van T. Barfoot was born in Edinburg, Texas . That probably didn't make news back then.

But twenty five years later, on May 23, 1944, near Cyrano, Italy, That same Van T. Barfoot, who had in 1940 enlisted in the U.S. Army, set out alone to flank German machine gun positions from which gunfire was raining down on his fellow soldiers. His advance took him through a minefield but having done so, he proceeded to single-handedly take out three enemy machine gun positions, returning with 17 prisoners of war.

And if that weren’t enough for a day's work, he later took on and destroyed three German tanks sent to retake the machine gun positions.

That probably didn’t make much news either, given the scope of the war, but it did earn Van T. Barfoot, who retired as a Colonel after also serving In Korea and Vietnam , a well deserved Congressional Medal of Honor.

What did make news was his Neighborhood Association's quibble with how the 90-year-old Veteran chose to fly the American flag outside his suburban Virginia home. Seems the HOA rules said it was OK to fly a flag on a house-mounted bracket, but, for decorum, items such as Barfoot's 21-foot flagpole were "unsuitable."

Van Barfoot had been denied a permit for the pole, but erected it anyway and was facing Court action unless he agreed to take it down.

Then the HOA story made national TV, and the Neighborhood Association rethought its position and agreed to indulge this
aging hero who dwelt among them.

"In the time I have left", he said to the Associated Press, "I plan to continue to fly the American flag without interference."

As well he should. And if any of his neighbors had taken a notion to contest him further, they might have done well to read his Medal of Honor citation first. Seems it Indicates Mr. Van Barfoot wasn't particularly good at backing down.

If you've read this post and don't share it, - Guess what -You need your butt kicked. I share this with you because I don't want MY butt kicked anymore and I'm tired of seeing those who hate our country yet march in our streets, tear down our statues, burn our stores and loot our businesses have a free hand to do whatever they want.

WE ONLY LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE! AND, BECAUSE OF BRAVE OLD MEN LIKE VAN BARFOOT!

RAIR Foundation USA founder Amy Mekelburg just delivered a BRUTAL truth to Congress:

"Islam is a hostile totalitarian political ideology using our freedoms to destroy us. To every non-Muslim, it offers three choices: convert, submit, or die."

"It does not stop until every court, every school, and every government on earth is under Sharia."

"These networks operate more than 8,000 Islamic nonprofits across America, including 650 in Texas alone."

"They have no plan of assimilating."

We MUST stop importing Islam to the West. It is a Trojan Horse meant to destroy us.

🚨 President Trump just dropped the hammer:

"I’m not going to agree to a $1.5 TRILLION Democrat spending bill that gives healthcare to illegal immigrants while American citizens get screwed."

No more funding illegals at the expense of our people. America First means putting CITIZENS first.

Democrats would rather play games than secure the border and fix healthcare for Americans.

Trump is standing strong — this is why we elected him.

Who’s with President Trump on this? 🇺🇸

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.

He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.

RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.

Senate Democrats are still pushing the hoax that “Kash Patel is a drunk”.

Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar just went on CNN demanding an immediate hearing and essentially telling FBI Director Kash Patel to resign or else, claiming he’s dodging facts by suing The Atlantic instead.

This is the same smear campaign based on anonymous sources that Patel already hit with a $250 million defamation lawsuit. The Atlantic rushed out the story alleging excessive drinking, erratic behavior, and unexplained absences — all while ignoring Patel’s direct warnings that the claims were false.

Democrats like Klobuchar and Chuck Schumer aren’t interested in facts or due process. They’re weaponizing the media’s anonymous-source hit piece to try to force out a loyal America First FBI Director who is cleaning house and restoring the rule of law.

Remember: these are the same people who spent years covering for Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline and family influence-peddling. Now they’re suddenly outraged over unproven allegations against Patel.

Kash Patel is doing exactly what the American people voted for — rooting out the deep state, ending weaponization of the FBI, and putting the agency back on the side of the citizens instead of the political class.

The left’s latest attack isn’t about drinking or behavior. It’s about stopping real accountability at the FBI. They can’t win on the merits, so they resort to character assassination and political theater.

The American people see through it. The smear isn’t working, and Patel’s lawsuit is going to force the truth out under oath.

If bartenders can go to jail for over-serving alcohol to someone who then kills another person, judges should go to jail for releasing criminals who do the same.

🚨 BRILLIANT: Clay Travis' show has caller that suggests putting ICE Agents with TSA Agents to get the Democrats to fold & end the shutdown! 🔥

"What if President Trump announced that ICE agents were going to be supplementing TSA agents inside all of the airports? The ICE Agents are still being paid.

" How quickly would Democrats panic if he said, 'hey, we're going to put some ICE Agents in line with the TSA to help to expedite everybody, oh & by the way, if we think you might be an illegal trying to come through & get on a airplane, we're gonna go ahead & arrest you at the airport."

This is exactly what needs to happen! Democrats would fold faster than cheap suits!
