@AuthorMJClifton I love my sons with a love that cannot be described & I had really high bars for the women they chose as wives, but only cuz I wanted them to have the best & to be treated w love, kindness & respect!
This is next level crazy. Jason needs to get them out of there. NOW
Keep posting this so nobody forgets that this was one of the worst events in American history.
Never has a sitting president encouraged his supporters to believe a lie so deeply that they’d be willing to attack or democracy.
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

@Bsanto88 Chris sale is very close to Leon. They have worked together most of any catcher Sale has had over his career. Leon is there for his defense, any hits he gets are a bonus.
I'm a grizzly.
They just decided one acre is all I need.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just redefined "secure habitat" for grizzly bears in Montana.
The science said 2,500 acres minimum.
They changed it to one.
No public input. No new science. Just a rewrite.
And it wasn't random. The change conveniently cleared the way for a 17,700-acre logging project cutting straight through the corridor grizzlies use to travel between two of their last strongholds in North America.
A former Forest Service wildlife biologist said it plainly: "A one-acre island of forest surrounded by roads isn't secure habitat. It's a death trap."
Courts already rejected this same playbook when agencies tried 10-acre patches near Yellowstone. They lost. Then they came back with one acre.
Who's going to tell the grizzly it only gets one acre?

This is going to not only put a lot of people on the streets it’s also going to displace poor animals that were trained to help people especially Veterans.
I don't know about you guys, but watching Hunter Biden slay trolls with sharp wit and self-deprecating humor this week has made this site bearable.
Thank you, @HunterBiden.
Congrats on your sobriety milestone.
Give 'em hell, brother.🙏💪
