Today is an important day in our country's history and in celebrating it we should recommit to finishing the work of equality for all in America.

#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion became known as #Juneteenth, a combination of “June” & “19th." More: https://t.co/bitoMm27sm

Wow. This is astonishing. Glen Campbell was such an extraordinary talent as a musician, vocalist & songwriter. One of the all time greats

[🌸🎵 Beautiful Melody 🎶💖 @Ducnghia16]

It seems pretty good until you notice that he's playing on a 12-string. Yah, he's amazing. And I think it'll be a very long time before we see someone of his capabilities and talents.

This group is one of my favorites. I loved everything they did. Unfortunately I wish I never able to see them perform when they visited America.

This Australian band made waves with this hit song in 1967. It reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, but "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees, kept the song from number one. How remembers this one?

Back when superstar power hitters in baseball actually hustled on every play.

Dick Allen doesn't have the longevity numbers, but his peak was unbelievable. HOFer in my book 💯

San Antonio has secured a playoff spot & Dallas needs a win to get closer to doing it. Watch us one of these outkets: @EnvoyTV @MSGNetworks @NESN & @tblboxing YouTube channel. I am really enjoying announcing this. It is unique in that it truly gives boxing a team concept and yet remains true to the essence of the sport,

@fluffykoala_s Yes, agreed

[Al Bernstein @AlBernstein]

It is a unique experience to sit with one of the fighters after a big fight and analyze with them what happened. One of there most interesting experiences of my career was when I did a studio show with both Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe as we reviewed one of their three fights. It was on ESPN and I have not seen it since it originally aired. I thought they each were very honest and almost introspective in looking at the fight, which I encouraged as the interviewer. I found it fascinating. Afterword ESPN executive John Wildhack called me and told me he thought it was all too subdued and not enough verbal sparring between them and I should have gotten more of that from them. I guess he was looking for more Gerry Springer than Dick Schapp. I'd rather be compared to the latter.

@WendellPierce Astonishing. A well crafted deal with Iran that was working on behalf of thee world was ripped up for no reason. An unnecessary war has made things worse than even before the first deal was negotiated.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

Tonight demonstrated why @tblboxing is so interesting and fun to watch.We had even and exciting match-ups that could have gone either way, multiple knockdowns, several knockouts and a team competition that was a roller coaster ride. Atlanta Attackn won 19-16 over the Phoenix Fury to keep[their playoff hopes alive. The Fury could have clinched a playoff spot with a win, but they will have to wait for that and hope to do it win their next match.

@MatthewAguilar5 I did suggest to him that I was happy with the way the show went.���

[Al Bernstein @AlBernstein]

Well I don’t want to face that fate! I do know the show exists because I did it—although during that period some memories are hazy (we had a lot of fun in tv in 80’s and early 90’s). If anyone can find it then you are the man for the job. Dont kill your self for it though. Btw I love your vintage boxing stuff—really great.

[Al Bernstein @AlBernstein]

@Blangaz1 Oh wow. Well you are a wizard at that. That would be so cool. Hopefully my recollections of this are correct.😂

[Al Bernstein @AlBernstein]

My late wife Connie was a very good dancer on stage, but not classically trained as Cyd Charisse was. Most of the dancing, she and her sister did in their act did not require that kind of expertise. But Connie, who had a similar frame as Cyd Charisse, told me that she studied what she saw in Cyd's dancing on screen to try and create a sense of grace in her dancing.

[Al Bernstein @AlBernstein]

What an amazing dance number. Cyd Charisse was one n0f the best dancers ever to grace the screen & Paul Mitchell was sublime. Shot beautifully with only a few camera cuts--so mostly by one camera with graceful camera movement so it did not feel stagnant. Filmaking at it's best

[Al Bernstein @AlBernstein]

@TGI_QT 😁

[Al Bernstein @AlBernstein]

@TGI_QT yes. it is so great

[Al Bernstein @AlBernstein]

well, this is astonishingly clever, accurate and well delivered.

[Yasmina @yasminalombaert]

Brilliant!

“Trump, the peacemaker.” - Jonathan Pie

“Back to you, Sophie.
Thank you. It's interesting, isn't it, that Trump signed this deal in Versailles, you know, the location of another famous humiliating, total capitulation. But you know, of course, Trump will spin this as a massive success because he's got form in declaring he's won when clearly he hasn't.

But this war was a success in the same way that paying $14 million to have large chunks of blue paint floating in an algae-infested reflecting pool was money well spent.

The truth is, the United States has rarely looked weaker, and Iran has rarely looked stronger, having now worked out that if anyone doesn't do exactly what they want them to, they'll just close the Strait of Hormuz, and they've got the whole world by the bullbags.

We went from week one: "I will win. Victory will be easier than that time I kidnapped the president of Venezuela."

To week two: "I won."

To week three: "Why aren't you helping me win?"

To week four: "I don't need your help to win, but if you don't help me win, I'm going to destroy NATO."

Week five: "If you don't let me win, I'll annihilate an entire civilization."
It's quite a feat to give the Iranian regime the moral high ground, but luckily, Donald Trump shattered the illusion of American morality a long time ago.

Week six: "We're winning, and to prove it, here's an AI picture of me dressed as Jesus.”

Week seven: "The Pope is a soy-filled, woke, Guardian reader."

Week eight: "I'm getting bored now."

Weeks nine through to 14: "Really bored now, and I've got ballrooms to build and cage fights on the White House lawn to organise."

And four months later, victory!

Thank you very much, where's my peace prize?

And if the rest of the G7 can just clear up the mess and pay the bill, that would be great.

The outcome was always inevitable, but you know, it's been fun to watch.

Most of Trump's posts on Truth Social around the conflict have sounded less like the leader of the free world and more like a 14-year-old boy who's the only one left in the class not to have fingered anyone.

One particular highlight being on Easter Sunday, when Trump went on to Truth Social to write, "Open the fucking strait, you crazy bastards."
Which are the words of a true diplomat with supreme control of the situation.

He then spent some time at the White House Easter Egg Roll, where he gave a speech to a bunch of bemused primary school children about how he's thinking of starting World War III in Iran and Joe Biden's auto-pen.

But this conflict hasn't all been plain sailing. Trump got really angry with the UK, and Spain, and Canada, Australia, Italy—in fact, anyone who raised any objections to this gross example of imperial overreach was branded a coward.

It was as if he felt like we should all be grateful that his latest piece of American expansionism didn't involve making Canada the 51st state or carpet bombing the sleepy village of Greenland.

Perhaps if you want your allies to be good allies, then maybe start treating us like allies. Don't bully your allies, or slam illegal tariffs on your allies, or interfere with their elections by overtly promoting far-right parties across Europe whilst hurling insults at our leaders and threatening to invade Allied sovereign territory, and then demand we come to your aid just because you started a war because one, Benjamin Netanyahu told you to, and two, to distract from the fact that you appear in the Epstein files more times than Jesus is mentioned in the Bible.

But at least someone did all right out of this whole thing. Well, for me, the highlight of the whole shit show was the $2.1 billion in bets placed minutes before presidential announcements about the war in Iran.

@TGI_QT Tom Walker is really amazing. The characters he created is great.
