ABC News’ chief legal analyst and former Live PD host Dan Abrams SLAMS James talarico's anti-police lies.

"Those cops should sue James talarico for saying that they murdered Javier Ambler. It's a lie!"

"He then led police on a 22-minute chase. He didn't pull over! ... That's totally dishonest from talarico."

"talarico should be ashamed of these comments, and those cops ought to sue him!" #TXsen

Ro Khanna is a lying clown and fraud. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

Three top officials in Zohran Mamdani’s administration tried to secretly meet with a senior Islamic Republic official.

The New York Times hasn’t written a word about it.

Weird.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

So basically what happened here is the New York Times covered up rape allegations in order to run interference for a socialist Nazi. Do I have this correct?

[Bad Hombre @Badhombre]

Just 87 days apart, two top Democrats have ended their campaigns because they’re rapists. Let that marinate.

I know Texas Tech is in a spot no school wants to be in but I'm genuinely surprised at how poorly they have handled this. With the money they have this might be the worst PR campaign we have seen

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

These are all common sense!

Nijaree Canady is a truly great player, but the reality is that Teagan Kavan is actually the player ESPN has been trying to convince us Canady is.

Unreal: Schumer is Jewish! He endorsed a man with a Nazis tattoo! WHY??

🚨 THE GRAHAM PLATNER SEXTING SCANDAL ISN’T GOING AWAY 🚨

Reince Priebus: “This isn't the end.”

“This isn't going to get better for Democrats.”

[Pro America Politics @proamericapol]

In 2013, Graham Platner said women should wear kevlar panties if they don't want to be raped.

This is the guy Elizabeth Warren has called "her type of man."

This is the guy Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders have endorsed.

Disgusting.

[Pro America Politics @proamericapol]

Chuck Schumer has endorsed Graham Platner, the guy with a Nazi tattoo.

That's like Anne Frank endorsing Josef Mengele.

Is there a faker Jew on planet Earth than Chuck Schumer?

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

I don’t want to hear a word by the Democrats about the Epstein files when they’re running a guy for the Senate in Maine who took a picture of himself wrapped in a towel for use on an app targeted to teens.

Platner is Epstein without the island.

[Sports Patriot @SportsPatriotUS]

I’m going to say this as calmly as possible:

Watching Caitlin Clark in the WNBA has become genuinely hard to stomach.

Not because she struggles sometimes. Not because she makes mistakes. Not because she gets criticized. That comes with being great.

It’s hard to stomach because it has become obvious that the league, the officials, the media, the players, and even her own organization have all decided that the most important thing is not letting Caitlin Clark become too big.

And that is insane.

This league was handed the most marketable, electric, revenue-generating player women’s basketball has ever seen, and instead of building around the moment, too many people seem obsessed with humbling her.

She gets fouled. Held. Hit. Cheap-shotted. Mocked. Targeted. Then when she reacts like a normal competitor, suddenly everyone wants to analyze her attitude.

No.

Her attitude is not the story.

The story is that a generational player is being treated like a problem by the very league she helped drag into mainstream relevance.

This reminds me of the worst kind of youth coach... the one who sees a special player, feels threatened by her talent, and slowly drains the joy out of her in the name of “teaching humility.”

That is what this looks like.

The freedom she played with at Iowa is disappearing. The fire is still there, but the joy looks damaged. The confidence looks weighed down. She looks like someone constantly fighting the refs, opponents, narratives, coaching decisions, jealousy, and a league culture that should be protecting its golden opportunity instead of resenting it.

And let’s be honest: Stephanie White has not helped.

Benching Caitlin Clark randomly when she is controlling the game tempo, or having your best shooter off the floor in critical game ending minutes when a victory is within reach is basketball malpractice. Limiting her rhythm, downplaying her greatness, benching momentum, and treating her like just another piece instead of the engine is absurd.

You do not take a player who changed the economics of your sport and manage her like you’re afraid her greatness might offend the room.

Nike deserves criticism too. Other players get signature shoes rolled out with urgency, while the biggest draw in women’s basketball is somehow still waiting on that signature shoe. That is not confusing. That is revealing.

Fans are not stupid.

They see the fouls.
They see the double standards.
They see the jealousy.
They see the media resentment.
They see the league benefiting from her popularity while refusing to fully embrace her.
And here is the part the WNBA better understand quickly:
People are not tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be humbled.
They are tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be great.
If she walked away tomorrow, the fans would follow her. The sponsors would follow her. The energy would follow her. The high salaries and the charter jets would follow her. And the league would be forced to confront the uncomfortable truth it keeps trying to avoid:

Caitlin Clark did not need the WNBA nearly as much as the WNBA needed Caitlin Clark.

At some point, her family, her agent, and her team need to ask a hard question:

How much longer do you let a league profit from her while allowing the culture around her to beat the spirit out of her?

Because from the outside looking in, this does not look like normal adversity anymore. It looks like abuse.

It looks like a league trying to break the very player who made millions of people care.

VIDEO — I watched this loser in Washington Square Park today harassing Jews

He was arrested outside of the New School after following several people up 5th Ave

Right before he went into a cop car, police removed his mask

Footage is mine
