Stephen A. Smith publicly APOLOGIZES to Kyrie Irving after calling him "selfish" for refusing the COVID jab.
"Hindsight-wise, it didn’t make him stubborn or selfish. It made him BRAVE."
"I watched Dr. Fauci on Capitol Hill yesterday, and the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irving."
“Kyrie Irving stood out in my mind because of the heat that he was taking... He refused the vaccine. New York City's mandate made him ineligible for home games, and he linked his stance to people losing jobs over vaccine mandates."
“In my opinion, particularly hindsight-wise, it didn't make him stubborn or selfish. It made him brave. His willingness to stand up and say, ‘Nah, I'm not doing that.’
“It's just a time for reflection — to look at things differently.”
Kyrie gave up $11,400,000 in game checks during the 21-22 NBA season and a $100,000,000 extension with the Nets to be unvaccinated.
That cements his holdout as the largest financial sacrifice any athlete has ever made over an issue in history.
We’ve now passed the SAVE America Act five times.
The Senate has passed it zero times.
If they were fighting for it, fine.
But they’re not even trying.
That’s the problem.
Shame on those of you who use this tragedy to voice your political hatred! My only son was killed in Afghanistan at 21 years old under Obama/Biden. Not one person from the Obama administration was in Dover to attend my son’s dignified transfer ceremony. We lost our precious boy and didn’t even receive a phone call. So, when you make this and political, just know it would have meant the world to us to have anyone there honoring my boy when his body was returned after making the ultimate sacrifice for the people and the country he loved so deeply (even while wearing a baseball cap). 💔
There’s a time and a place and this is not it. Show some respect for these families, especially when you have no idea what they’re going through! 😡
Eric Trump just flipped the script on Chris Cuomo live on-air, leaving him shocked.
Cuomo accused President Trump of going after his political opponents the moment he took office…
Eric sounded off:
“Did we, did we try and bankrupt Biden? Did we raid Biden's home? Did we try and bankrupt Biden?”
“Did we weaponize every AG and DA against Biden? Do we do that against Hunter Biden who had a laptop from hell, pictures of cocaine, illicit drug use, prostitution?”
“Did we make up a dirty dossier? About Biden, did they try and destroy Biden's marriage? Did we make up stories that Biden had secret servers in the basement of his home communicating with the Kremlin in Russia?”
“Did we strip Biden off the ballot of multiple states? Did we take Biden off of Twitter and Instagram and Facebook and try and silence his voice so he couldn't communicate?”
“Did we put Biden in a courtroom every single day for nonsense to try and keep him off of a campaign trail to try and destroy his life?”
Well done FOLLOW: @Trustintrump47
The Republicans' problem is not that the Democrats cheat.
We know they cheat.
The problem is that we don't have the balls to do anything about it when we catch them.
I'm so fucking sick of the GOP.
"We can't do anything."
Shut the fuck up. SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
You have the House. The Senate. The White House. A Supreme Court majority.
The most unified government you've had in years, and you're telling me you CAN'T DO ANYTHING?????
You have RECONCILIATION.
You know, the filibuster-proof tool Democrats used to ram through trillions in spending with FIFTY votes?
It's sitting right there.
Do you morons understand what happens if Democrats take the midterms?
It's over.
Not "tough." Not "a setback."
FUCKING OVER.
Every DOGE cut? Gone. Did you forget you still need to CODIFY THOSE into law?!
Executive orders? Erased.
Regulation cuts? Reversed.
Border policy? Deleted.
Years of work, torched in one election cycle, because you kept saying "we'll get to it" like we gave a DAMN that you "tried".
Guess what happens when Democrats win, dumbasses?
They start passing bills.
They actually DO everything you won't do, for God knows what reason.
You're telling me if they win, they won't NUKE the filibuster ON DAY ONE?!
They've SAID it out loud, repeatedly, on camera!!!!!
Transgender plays in Uganda? Back.
Elmo in Afghanistan? Back.
NPR/PBS funding? Probably DOUBLED out of spite.
ICE? Defunded.
DC and Puerto Rico statehood? Yep.
Court packing? THEY SAID SO THIS WEEK!!!!!
Every single "crazy" thing you swore would never happen becomes a floor vote the second they hold the gavel.
Because THEY actually use power when they have it.
That's the difference between you and them, and it's fucking humiliating.
Meanwhile YOU can't even pass the SAVE Act.
Requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections is an 80/20 issue.
The easiest layup in American politics... and GOD FORBID YOU CHANGE SOME ARCHAIC SENATE RULES TO GET IT DONE because you'd rather have the ISSUE than the LAW.
You won't defund the fucking TALIBAN.
We're still watching taxpayer money leak into Afghanistan and your response is a strongly worded letter and a subcommittee hearing nobody watches.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?????
Don't tell me there's no time.
The House is scheduled for barely over 100 legislative days this year.
You work a THIRD of the year.
Teachers work more days than you.
AND SOMEHOW you STILL ARE FINDING ROOM FOR EVEN MORE VACATIONS!!!!!!!
GOD FORBID you actually put in some effort.
But no. Instead you give us tweets.
Fox News hits.
Cringe-ass TikToks.
Podcast appearances.
NOBODY GIVES A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT YOUR CONTENT.
Not one of us. Zero.
You're not influencers. You're lawmakers.
So make some fucking laws.
That's the job It's all we've EVER asked you to do.
Trump won't be on the ballot next time to drag YOUR SORRY ASSES ACROSS THAT FINISH LINE.
You really think you can come home, look us in the eye, and recycle the same excuses?
After THIS?
No. Not this time.
The stakes are way too high and our patience is gone.
Completely gone.
Stop telling us what you'd do "if only you had the power."
YOU HAVE THE POWER. RIGHT NOW. TODAY.
If you're too cowardly to use it, then stop fucking asking us for more of it.
...and don't act all shocked when the people you keep taking for granted stop showing up to save you from yourselves.
I think FIFA will be using #17thousand Lenovo and Motorola devices during the FIFA World Cup 2026™. Know the answer? Drop your guess for a chance to win! #sweepstakes@Lenovo
America's 250th birthday celebration is already lighting up the sky.
A stunning air show featuring 2,500 drones transformed the night over North Richland Hills, Texas, with massive images of a rocket, a bald eagle, and George Washington.
The patriotic display, created by Sky Elements Drone Shows, gave local families an early look at the celebrations leading up to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
