Just Tom Banton getting a hole in one and the same week he’s broken Somerset’s highest ever individual score. Some week that. Also a very smart man, he knows full well there’s only one way to get in to the England set up… and it’s not by scoring runs, it’s by hitting fairways 🏌️
What’s the real motivation behind Trump’s tariffs?
He believes they’ll bring so much money to the treasury that the U.S. will be able to afford another giant tax cut that will mostly benefit the rich.
Who will pay for it? The working class.
Here's what you should know.
‼️LEAGUE TITLE‼️

England are basically out of this tournament so they’ve picked:
Stokes, who is due to have an operation on his knee
Willey, who has retired from international cricket and
Wood, who has gone round the park instead of:
Brook, Curran and Atkinson. Yup, me neither.

🚨🚨🚨Holy shit: A father of a child who was killed in the Uvalde school shooting SLAMMED Texas legislators for their “useless thoughts and prayers.”
Brett Cross boldly testified in front of a Texas House committee in support of legislation that would raise the minimum age to buy semi-automatic weapons from 18 to 21.
Brett Cross: “I'm so sick of hearing those three words from our elected officials…
While your prayers may have comforted you, they did nothing to absolve our pain...
Your thoughts and prayers didn't stop an 18 year old from purchasing two high powered semi automatic rifles and all of those rounds of ammunition.
Your thoughts and prayers didn't stop us from having to bury our children and two teachers.
Your thoughts and prayers haven't done anything in the 329 days since Uziel was shot through his stomach exiting his spine.
Your thoughts and prayers are useless unless you have thought and prayed for legislation that you can help enact that could change this.”
Thank you so much to Brett Cross and these BRAVE parents for speaking out!
