@HunnMista95583 @KadyMuhammad1 @journo_ben What are you talking about, Russia is literally still killing Ukrainians wherever they can today. They have taken it over in the past and would do again. Egypt had more than 2 million babies last year, it could easily take in 2 million refugees, they just don't want to.

@KadyMuhammad1 @jlippincott The government didn't save the money for ss, so that's on voters for not demanding it be saved. Question is what do we do now?

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Anti-Israel.

Anti-America.

Anti-Western Civilization.

Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of those self-identified communists?

@HunnMista95583 @KadyMuhammad1 @journo_ben Russians have given no such right of return to the Ukranians. There is no reason to believe Israel would not let them return but dead children can't return anyway. Forcing kids to live in a warzone is criminal behavior.

@HunnMista95583 @KadyMuhammad1 @journo_ben False. Egypt land and population is 3.2x larger than Poland so 2.2million refugees is easier for Egypt than 3 million for Poland. Why are Europeans always expected to open borders but everyone else seems to have an excuse.

@TraceyRyniec @Mike_Palicz As a moderate democrat, blaming this all on republicans is ridiculous. When moderate democrats ran on platform of balanced budgets, they lost badly. Now you have socialists winning in NYC on ridiculous spending promises. The problem runs deep.

@TraceyRyniec @Mike_Palicz You could reduce benefits or completely eliminate them for people earning over a certain amount. You could also just acknowledge the reality that there is no lockbox and SS is going to be paid out of the general fund.

@PythiaR That may have worked. This way, they are hoping the arbitrage helps pull up the value of their underlying stock in SK.

@KadyMuhammad1 @journo_ben During the war with Russia Poland let over 3 million Ukrainian refugees into the country. Pre war there were only around 2.2mn living in Gaza, why didn't Egypt let them all in?

@KimKatieUSA Wow!

Some parents let their kids do teen takeovers, vandalize, riot, steal, assault people, and end up in jail.

Others teach their kids to sing the Star-Spangled Banner with heart and pride. 🇺🇸

What kind of a parent are you?

Everyone has been so impressed by Japanese fans cleaning up after themselves but most probably missed this beautiful moment at the post-game (🇳🇱2 - 2🇯🇵) press conference.

Toward the end after reporters were done asking questions, 🇯🇵head coach, Hajime Moriyasu, asked to speak one more time.

🗣️ “May I speak?”

He turned to the Dutch reporters in the room.

🗣️ “I think there are many Dutch reporters here as well, so I’d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the people of the Netherlands once again.”

Moriyasu explained that when he became part of the Japan national team, Japanese football still had no professional league.

🗣️ “I was trained by a Dutch coach named Hans Ooft. It wasn’t just me. Japanese coaches in general were greatly influenced by him, which has led to the development of Japanese soccer today.”

He also mentioned another Dutch figure who shaped his career.

🗣️ “The legendary Dutch coach Wim Jansen served as the manager for J.League’s Sanfrecce Hiroshima and also as a coach for Urawa Reds, contributing to Japanese soccer.”

🗣️ “It’s not just those two. Many other coaches and players have contributed to raising the level of Japanese soccer, so I want to express my thanks. Thank you very much.”

What a masterclass in graciousness and gratitude. Imagine after a high-stakes match, instead of basking in glory and bravado (well-deserved in my opinion), the coach took to the microphone to... thank his opponents publicly and sincerely.

Japan's cultural operating system prizes harmony (wa), respect for precedent, and gratitude as a form of strength, not weakness. Japanese sports culture reflects its broader society where you'll see athletes bow to their opponents, thanking referees, and even crediting rivals or mentors.

Think of sumo wrestlers, Olympic athletes, or even bullet-train staff apologizing for a 30-second delay.

The Japanese have this concept of On (恩) - it is the sense of indebtedness to those who came before or helped you. It's what you'd expect from a culture that truly prizes continuity.

Moriyasu was acknowledging a real debt to Dutch coaches like Hans Ooft (who coached Japan in the early 90s and helped professionalize the game) and Wim Jansen. Japanese football openly credits foreign influences - Dutch "Total Football" philosophy, German organization, Brazilian flair - while building something distinctly their own. Few nations do this with such little ego.

Japan is pure class

If there was a Miss Congeniality award for World Cup teams, Japan 🇯🇵 would easily win it, hands down

California is turning UC Berkeley — the best public university on earth — into a remedial high school. At least half the students now entering its primary STEM sequence aren't even proficient in precalc:

@TraceyRyniec @sfmcguire79 I say this as a two time cal graduate and someone who met my wife at cal.

[John Fisher Did Not go to Cal @boofero]

@TraceyRyniec @sfmcguire79 Having gone through the process with 3 kids, I was shocked to learn how incredibly unfair the system is to middle and upper middle class public school kids. YouTube videos won't prepare you for the ridiculousness that is the uc admissions process.

[John Fisher Did Not go to Cal @boofero]

@TraceyRyniec @sfmcguire79 Major does matter but a major problem is the black box nature of admissions. Read up on ucsd, they are having major problems with kids who don't know remedial math. Those kids should not be admitted i the first place. Worst thing to be at is high achieving public
