@MayorAdler @PeteButtigieg Thank you for your leading role in helping to make @AustinFC happen. @austintexasgov is ready for the big leagues!

[Dave Greeley @DaveGreeley]

Great man. Helped me a ton like so many others. Really sad. RIP, Hank.

U.S. Soccer mourns the loss of former Secretary General Hank Steinbrecher. A towering figure in the development and popularization of soccer in the United States during the 1990s, Steinbrecher passed away Tuesday at the age of 77.

Oh my God. How can something that’s already broken become even more broken? Let’s check in on the Ohio State fanbase for the answer.

Wall Street Journal today: "The Next President Inherits a Remarkable Economy"

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

From bad 2 worse @OceaniaCruises. 90 min from shore to boat. Everyone on your organized tours (we paid for) got back at same time, yet main cafe closed, other 2 options just stacked dozens deep. #service #experience has been good to date, but last 2 hours epic preventable fail.

[Dave Greeley @DaveGreeley]

@OceaniaCruises - where are you and your transport boat to the #vista in Valletta port, Malta? Hundreds of guests waiting in line in the sun. We can see the transport boat not moving??!! People are getting really crabby - super hot, no rep here, no water?? #CustomerService

@ColinCowherd Unreal that @MarquetteMBB beat UConn 2x, won the Big East by 2 games, and beat them again in the Big East tourney, yet UConn wins the Natty. #props #goodtiming

@Austin_Monthly @AustinFC @austintexasgov @UTexasAthletics Many like-sized markets are over-saturated: NASH, STL, KC, MSP, PHX, etc. Vegas is an outlier.

[Dave Greeley @DaveGreeley]

@Austin_Monthly Pro sports “competition” in a viable market is key for potential success. Single biggest driver that portended success for @AustinFC. No question @austintexasgov is ready. Doesn’t mean leagues ready or teams available, plus don’t discount role of @UTexasAthletics for Big 3 play.

I have posted this before but ..

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK.

@EvilMopacATX 1) Pulled into the median of many intersections to make left turns at yellow lights and 2) Led the deal making and effort to make @austinfc a reality.

[Dave Greeley @DaveGreeley]

Perfect person to lead the charge. Knows the City, its processes, politics, and sensibilities. Was a strong @austintexasgov partner in getting our #P3 #mls2atx deal done, which birthed @AustinFC. Bravo.

@OmniHotels - how is it you charge my card $100 immediately for incidentals, but it takes a week to credit my account for incidental charges not incurred & likely never to be incurred? Will think twice staying again. Patently horrible policy & customer service. #itsnotthathard
