Yes, the USMNT 🇺🇸 is pulling more viewers in the World Cup, in the USA, than the NBA Finals.

Let that sink in.

🚨 Argentina rank #1 for fouls committed across all major tournaments since 2020 Copa América 2021 & 2024, plus the 2022 and 2026 World Cups recording around 287 fouls while receiving only 50 bookings. 😳

They also rank #1 for most uncalled fouls, with 249 incidents reportedly ignored by officials.

At some point football fans have to start asking serious questions. How can a team consistently lead in aggressive challenges, tactical fouls and physical altercations, yet receive far less punishment than other nations for similar actions?

We’ve seen tackles from other players instantly punished with yellow or red cards, while Argentina players and especially situations involving Messi’s teams often seem to escape major consequences. That level of inconsistency is exactly why many fans believe refereeing standards and VAR decisions have not been applied equally.

Whether people want to admit it or not, favoritism now follows Argentina in almost every major tournament. And when football loses consistency in officiating, it damages trust in the sport itself.

A man who molested a 10 year old was convicted of those charges. The Trump administration was seeking to deport him, as he was a violent felon, eligible for deportation. Tim Walz rushed to pardon the pedophile, to remove the predicate felon, and keep him in the country.

[Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire]

It is unbelievable to me that this wasn’t a red card + penalty kick

Balogun was completely obstructed here and still hit the crossbar

He earned two PKs that weren’t called

This didn’t get VAR but an irrelevant midfield tangle led to a red card

Unreal

Alameda County unanimously APPROVED a recommendations proposal to pay black residents reparations. In California, a state that never had slaves

“Alameda County Supervisors today considering a plan to pay reparations to Black residents,” it was approved

“The board is scheduled to hear a draft of an action plan later today, which aims to repair harms experienced by Black residents in the county, specifically inequalities in housing, education, health, and criminal justice”

Some of the proposals include compensation for victims:

- Housing, like compensation for victims of property displacement and redlining
- Education scholarships and grants for Black students
- Economic opportunity by ways of grants (free money) and low-interest loans for Black-owned businesses
- Dedicated healthcare initiatives and funding for Black residents

Yes you read that right, they want taxpayers to pay for healthcare for black residents just because they’re black….

Next steps are budgeting and specific legislation are still required for most proposals

Lots of England fans clearly have no idea the absolutely massive advantage that playing at Aztwca gives the Mexican side. Put aside for a second the sheer size of 100,000+ fans and intimidating atmosphere (thats only the minor advantage).

The true advantage is purely physiological, in ways that cannot be countered.

Fans of MLB baseball know that Coors Field in Colorado is an outlier stadium. The elevation is so much higher than any other stadium that games at Coors generally scores 20-30% more runs than the rest of the league. Below is a pictograph of the altitude of Coors vs the other stadiums. Coors sits at 5194 ft.

Azteca is at 7200 ft.

England can mitigate the advantage somewhat with oxygen tanks, but they simply wont be able to change the physiology of their bodies in a week the way the Mexican side has changed theirs. There is 24% less oxygen at 7000 ft than at sea level, which means the English players will be struggling to catch their breath the entire game.

The body does adapt, but over time. The Mexican squad will have been practicing at Azteca for months, which has changed their bodies. Their blood will have 20-30% more red blood cells than the English players blood. Of course, its not impossible for England to win, but the advantage for Mexico is enourmous. In practical terms, it is as if the entire team has been placed on an aggressive doping program (doping for endurance sports such as cycling or soccer is almost always related to increasing red blood cell count).

If England manages to win the World Cup, the game vs Mexico will likely be their toughest, for reasons that have nothing to do with the skill level of either team.

Friendly reminder that this wasn’t a red card just a few weeks ago. What a horrible fucking decision that could cost the USA our World Cup run. This better be investigated.

Biden allowed you to make smaller student loan payments, but guess what! You were still accruing interest!

So he basically found a way to get MORE money out of student borrowers long-term, and progressives actually cheered him on for it

WOW 🚨 San Francisco spent $5 million per year on a facility that had only 10 beds foe the homeless

San Francisco Democrats also spent:

- $4 million on at least 1,700 ambulance rides for only 5 people
- They also spent around $30 million giving alcohol to only 55 people over 6 years, that’s roughly $545,000 per person

We’ve had enough, Democrats and their NGOs money laundering organizations need to start going to jail for this

No peers. Except FL, TX, TN, ID, AZ, UT, NV, CO, WA, NC, SC, all had more growth. Florida had 2X the GDP growth of CA.

Half the 40% “growth” Gavin is claiming is just inflation LMAO what a clown.

He still owes us for his state park nuking our town, BTW.

Governor DeSantis and Governor Pritzker each just signed their 8th state budgets. The contrast couldn't be starker. And the lesson is that who you elect matters. Change out the politicians and you get different policies.
For reference, Florida is 1.8x more populous than IL, 23.37m people compared to 12.71m people. Now consider these points:
1. FL general revenue budget is $52B, IL is $56B. Because state's have different ways of budgeting, lookimg at the total FY27 budgets, FL =$117B, IL=$130B. This doesn't make sense.
2. Pritzker advocated for and signed the largest budget in state history this year and in previous years. DeSantis has lowered the amount spent every year for the last four years and vetoed over $10B in spending during his time in office. Pritzker's budget is up $16B since he took office.
3. Pritzker brags about his credit upgrades, but IL has the worst state credit rating, FL has the best credit rating.
4. FL has a rainy day fund of $18B. IL rainy day fund is $2B.
5. FL is pushing $78B in road programs and moving planned projects ahead 5-15 years. IL can't even get projects planned, permitted and built in a timely manner, so many projects are left undone and money sits in an account collecting interest. And now that surplus interest is being sent to the CTA to bail them out.
6. DeSantis has given back over $9B in taxes. Pritzker has raised taxes every year for a total of over $77B according to IPI.
9. FL is giving $5,000 signing bonuses for police officers. IL politicians want to defund the police.
10. FL is on the cusp of eliminating property taxes for 60% of home owners and they have no state income tax. IL has the highest property taxes, plus individial income and estate taxes, high corporate taxes, and there's been no attempt to meaningfully lower property taxes.
Yes, elections have consequences. But, it can all ve reversed. DeSantis barely got elected 8 years ago. Your vote matters.
