@wxbywilliams @13WHAM I like the personalities at WHAM News ...Hetsko, Malloy, Catalana...but the bias is insufferable.

The US men's national soccer team is being subjected to the same kind of legalized plunder that defines too many divorce proceedings in this country.

After grinding through qualifiers, earning their spot in the World Cup, and generating the massive FIFA payout that only the men's game can produce ($12.8 million in this case), the players are now forced to hand over a huge chunk of that money to the women's team under the "equal pay" collective bargaining agreement.

The women didn't play a single minute of those matches, didn't draw the crowds, didn't sell the tickets, and didn't create the revenue - yet they still get a cut of the men's prize money while the reverse transfer remains a fraction. Yes the women are more successful (having won the Women's World Cup several times) but the prize is much smaller. Why? It reflects differences in global interest, sponsorship, viewership and actual performance.

This is all under the guise of "parity" between "equivalent work." But in reality, it's more like subsidizing one program with the output of the other, just like the ex-spouse cashing checks from earnings she didn't generate.

"Equal pay" sounds noble until you realize it erases differences in market value, risk, audience draw, and results. It disincentivizes excellence on the men's side (why push harder if your windfall gets redistributed?) and removes pressure on the women's side to grow their own commercial appeal.

Like divorce settlements that trap high-earners in perpetual support roles, this policy treats men's soccer as a piggy bank for "fairness," not a business rewarding what fans and sponsors actually value.

@wxbywilliams @RepJoeMorelle He doesn't listen Kevin. So disrespectful

@SenatorHarckham "Setting the record straight?" Commercial solar is intermittent, unreliable and requires backup via natural gas, etc. Upstate winters are cloudy and snowy and the days are short making solar a lousy option. It's expensive, land intensive & requires heavy metals and big subsidies.

The Supreme Court's decision underscores something I have said for years: the 14th Amendment was never intended to grant automatic citizenship to children born to parents who are in this country illegally. Congress has both the authority and the responsibility to fix this.

My Constitutional Amendment requires that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or serving in our military.

Stephen A. Smith on Graham Platter: “I’m not here to defend [the Democrats]. I can’t defend that soundbite from Elizabeth Warren… I can’t defend Bernie Sanders defending him. He’s got to do that. I can’t DEFEND any of the Democrats for sitting up there and defending this man with the Nazi tattoo. That should have been enough personally… but especially in light of the allegations that came in the aftermath. I mean my God, what took you so long?”

Stephen A. Smith: "Let me tell you something right now. The hell with impeaching Donald Trump. You convicted him. 34 felony counts. How many more? What did he do? He went to the White House! Stop wasting our time with all of this."

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Back in 1993, Dianne Feinstein was correct, and what she said still applies today. Illegal aliens shouldn’t be allowed to come to our country, have a child, and the kid is automatically given American citizenship. That is NOT what our Founders envisioned when they created the 14th Amendment.

💥NEW: Stephen A. Smith: "I wanna emphasize: you're a Republican, you somebody that wanted our border closed because Biden left the border open — I ain't got no problem with you! As far as I'm concerned, the liberals and Democrats need to shut the h*ll up on that issue!"

"When Obama deported 3.1 million people, you ain't say anything! You had networks doing features on ICE! Suddenly, they the bad guys! They're the scourges of the earth!"

"Shut the h*ll up! I don't wanna hear from you!"

[Andrew Mannix @andrew_mannix]

@SenSanders I like you Bernie, but you are so wrong and outside your lane on this. People are getting wiser every day.

[Andrew Mannix @andrew_mannix]

@13WHAM So why are they here? Makes more sense to celebrate in your own country

In 2006, Al Gore released An Inconvenient Truth, a film that defined modern climate alarm.

He warned Greenland and Antarctica's ice would melt, driving seas high enough to put major cities underwater, saying that entire coastlines would have to be redrawn.

Eighteen years later though, none of it has happened, not even close.

Meanwhile, Gore has gotten very rich. While ordinary people were told to feel guilty and cut back, he built a fortune. He became the first climate billionaire. His wealth came from green investment funds such as board seats and advisory roles, 200k plus speaking fees and carbon credit trading.

Al Gore didn't save the planet, he monetized fear.

Democrats have turned Independence Day into an anti-Republican demonstration. On a day of national unity, they have chosen partisan division.

[Fan Commentary: Joe Rogan Recaps @JoeRoganRecaps]

Joe Rogan dies of laughter when openly gay comedian Tim Dillon goes off on the insanity of Pride Month:

DILLON: “Why do the Padres have to wear gay uniforms for Pride Month? That doesn’t make any sense.”

ROGAN: “😂😂😂 What are they wearing? What happens when they play in Dearborn?”

DILLON: “It’s not going to go well. As a gay person, I’ve never said that I need the Padres to be gay too.”

ROGAN: “People have been taught that thinking for themselves might make them racist, sexist, or homophobic, so they’re afraid to question anything.”

DILLON: “Why is Chase Bank gay? Why’s Chobani Yogurt trans? Does this give people healthcare? Does this make you happy? What’s the point of all this?”

ROGAN: “It makes some people happy.”

DILLON: “It actually makes more people angry. That’s why gay marriage has lost 11 points in support. It’s annoying. Why is my bank gay?”

ROGAN: “😂😂😂”

DILLON: “I just want to know when my bank came out as gay. I’m fine with it, but I just wish someone would’ve told me. This doesn’t make anyone’s life better.”

ROGAN: “It’s a very confusing time for children today.”

DILLON: “It’s just virtue signaling garbage that ends up making people hate that community. They’re not going to gain support by shoving a worldview down everyone’s throat.”

@BobLonsberry How come her name on the letter head is in 2 different fonts?

[SpursRΞPORTΞR @SpursReporter]

According to a former NBA coach I spoke with, even if the Spurs had somehow won Game 5, today’s conversation would be about Victor Wembanyama not playing in Game 6.

His firm belief is that the league would have upgraded this incident to a flagrant foul upon review (and seeing Victor's eyes looking down toward the landing space), thus triggering the automatic one-game suspension.

What is undeniable is that these playoffs changed something.

Every villain has an origin story.

We may have just watched Wemby's begin. I say bring it!
