It’s the “Epstein Class” It’s the “Zionists.” Just say Jews you fucking cowards.

[Rick Golfs @Top100Rick]

If you are judging Aaron Rai for his iron covers, you may be an a**hole.

His dad worked hard to buy Aaron nice clubs and would put iron covers on to keep them pristine. Aaron continues it to show gratitude.

We should all be Aaron Rai fans.

Ah yes, scholars maintain that “nakba” translates to started a war, lost and cried victim. A rich tradition which continues to this day. An I nspiring reminder from you yet again, Mr. Mayor. Have a blessed weekend.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

@jamierkennedy sorry man, but major championships above all else are about mental toughness, grit and the ability to outlast your competitors when the stakes are highest. You can analytics anything to death but there is a reason why educated golf fans love it when there’s carnage

[Jamie Kennedy @jamierkennedy]

Slightly hot take... the Aronimink set-up stinks.

I'm not usually one to wade in on how a course is set-up but I think the data suggests this isn't a great set-up.

Let me explain.

I wrote a piece earlier in the week (see reply below) looking at the data from past events at Aronimink. Yes, they were a long time ago and the 2018 BMW played very wet, but all three events were essentially putting competitions.

▫️In 2018, Keegan led the field in putting and won. Of the players who finished in the top 10, eight ranked in the top 10 on the greens.

▫️In 2011, Nick Watney led the field in putting and won. The top five on the leaderboard that week all ranked in the top 15 putting.

▫️In 2010, Ryan Moore led the field in putting and finished one back of Justin Rose (4th in putting). 5 of the top 6 players on the leaderboard ranked inside 16th or better in putting.

That year, of the top 6 players in strokes gained approach, two missed the cut and none finished in the top 15.

The strategy at Aronimink appears to be, get it on the green, then try not to three-putt.

Potgeiter hit 5 of 14 fairways and ranked 63rd in proximity on his approaches, yet he is co-leader after 18 holes.

Of the 7 players tied for the lead:

• 5 are in the top 15 in putting
• 2 are in the top 15 in driving
• 1 is in the top 15 in approach
• 1 is in the top 15 around the green

My point is this, what do we consider both entertaining and valued at majors? Is it players avoiding three putts, or being rewarded for high-quality tee shots (Open courses), executing precise approach play (think Augusta and US Opens) and the ability to show creativity and skill around the greens (again, Augusta)?

None of the top 6 players at this year's Masters finished in the top 15 in putting. Was that an entertaining watch? What was the challenge that week?

I know, it's early in the tournament and yes, players that putt well "tend" to score well. But if this plays out for the week, like it has the last three times Aronimink has hosted a Tour event, I fear it could be a flat week.

For the record, I hope it's not.

Let’s cut the bullshit.

What the world witnessed after October 7 wasn’t “spontaneous outrage.” It was a ruthless, pre-planned, professionally executed antisemitic pogrom dressed up as protest.

While Jewish girls were being gang-raped and burned alive, Iran was already playing campaign manager, Qatar was cutting the checks, and the entire NGO parasite class had their signs printed, their Zoomer recruits radicalized, and their propaganda machine fully armed and ready.

This wasn’t organic. This was industrialized Jew-hatred ... slick, coordinated, and dripping with billions in blood money. They deliberately targeted weak-minded college kids with Holocaust denial and “Jews control the world” garbage because they knew these fragile idiots would spread it like wildfire.

Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Qatar, the NGOs, the fake charities, and their leftist billionaire sugar daddies didn’t just support terror ... they ran a full-scale information war against the Jewish people with military precision.
Warren Kinsella just tore the mask off this disgusting operation in The Hidden Hand.

No more pretending this was “grassroots.” No more calling it protest.

This was a calculated, well-funded campaign of pure evil ... and it’s still running full throttle.

The decent world needs to stop being polite and start smashing this machine into pieces before it devours everything.

I mean it’s comical, your franchise player that has never seen a CF is BEGGING and PLEADING with you to be aggressive at the deadline so the team can have a chance at getting a ring and the front office and owner spat in his face just to save a couple bucks

[AK74StL🇺🇸🇮🇱🤘🏻 @AK74StL]

Marathons are typical amongst starving genocide victims. Remember the Auschwitz Iron Man?

[Bob Ryan @GlobeBobRyan]

I am going on record. The NCAA Tournament was perfect at 64. Anything else is shameful greed exhibited by power conferences. Anyone who loves the sport knows this is the gospel truth,

[Benjamin @bfeldo]

You ever watch the Greg Monroe or Dwayne Dedmond Sixers minutes backing up Embiid?? @RTRSPodcast @toddblessyou

[Paulo Alves @PauloAlvesNBA]

This is the most insane stat I have ever seen.

[Shooter McGavin @ShooterMcGavin]

This Masters commercial absolutely nailed it

[Doug North @GolfCoachNorth]

College golf has it backwards.
We obsess over swing mechanics…
But the guys who score:
✔️ Think better
✔️ Manage better
✔️ Compete better
Golf isn’t a swing contest. It’s a decision-making contest.

[Benjamin @bfeldo]

We should absolutely never let this go. The city has been bamboozled and gaslit by Daryl, ownership and whatever idiot is sitting in the HC chair for far too long. I’m afraid I’ve finally developed apathy @sixers @dmorey

[Ido Halbany @IdoHalbany]

You know you're on the right side of history when both the Nazis and the Communists hate you.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Deport this asshole.

[Benjamin @bfeldo]

Do you guys want to mention the fact that multiple of them were active members of Hezbollah?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The man who rammed his truck into a Michigan synagogue on Thursday had four family members who were killed in an airstrike in Lebanon the week before, a Lebanese official and a Michigan imam said. https://t.co/0QLTUldgHc

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

Zero American Jews that had their family members raped, slaughtered, kidnapped and maimed on October 7th bombed a f***ing mosque.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

You know what? When there are terrorist attacks in the US by extremists I’d prefer that the same politicians and podcasters who egg them on with non stop inflammatory rhetoric and by endorsing Hamas rallies and who refuse to condemn phrases like “Globalize the intifada” and who blame everything on Jews don’t then try to act surprised or sympathetic when these attacks happen. It’s insulting and you’re not fooling anybody. I’d rather Mamdani be more like his wife who probably already smashed the like button a billion times and threw a party at Gracie Mansion. At least she owns it. Give me the straight forward hatred rather than the hypocrisy.

[Reihan Salam @reihan]

The mayor has often spoken out against bigotry and racism directed at Muslims. Given his role as the most prominent observant Muslim in American life, that is perhaps to be expected. But let’s be honest: it hasn’t taken any great courage on his part. It would be gutsier, and carry far greater weight, were he to clearly and explicitly speak out against Muslim supremacists who demean, threaten, and attack other communities, most notably Jews. By taking a stand against Muslim chauvinism, he’d bolster those Muslims already fighting against radicalism in their own neighborhoods, congregations, and families.

Today would have been a good opportunity for the mayor to be absolutely clear. He was not.

[Rachel @rachelbsol18]

No, your Jewish friends are not suddenly psychopathic, pro-war maniacs who want the world to burn.

We have been fighting this battle every single day since October 7, 2023. That's 879 days.
We always knew it would end with Iran.
Hamas was just IRGC’s proxy.
The Palestinian people IRGC’s pawns.

And both Americans and Israelis have been fighting this war since 1979. That's 47 years.

So before assuming the worst about your Jewish friends, maybe pause and listen to what they are saying.

Instead of dismissing them.
Instead of gaslighting them.
