@LUFC1992_v2 Hope you enjoy your time here in Des Moines! Looks like the rain is done for today, but careful with the winds this afternoon!

@LUFC1992_v2 Make sure to check out the Power & Light district. See if they have any games on the outdoor big screen there!

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.

@MAGAVoice @ZachNunn hear that, Zach?

[Eric Mann 🇺🇸 @EMann13]

@dandinohill @SenJohnHoeven @ChuckGrassley @ChuckGrassley so very disappointing, but not surprising from you these days. Time for you to retire, you don’t represent Iowans any more.

[Eric Mann 🇺🇸 @EMann13]

@BasedMikeLee @RealDeanCain Please! Get this done! If not, time to get rid of @LeaderJohnThune Enough is enough. Time for the Senate to actually do some work for once!

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.

It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

Congressional Reform Act of 2026!

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A member of Congress collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when out of office. No more perks follow them.

2. Congress (past, present, and future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. These funds may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise at the same rate as the COLA for monthly Social Security recipients, minus 1% if there is a budget deficit.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system (Medicare) as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e., NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).

7. All contracts with past and present members of Congress are void. The American people did not make these contracts with Congress. Congress made them by and for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege, NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators who serve their term(s), then go home and return to work, not receive all kinds of freebies. Term limits of 2 terms, and treat them like regular citizens!

Thoughts?

@LeaderJohnThune Do you people ever actually work? I don’t think the Senate has done anything in the last year. Why do we pay you?

[Eric Mann 🇺🇸 @EMann13]

@lindseyvonn Wish you the best!!

[Kentucky Girl @Notwokenow]

Taxes were supposed to be collected for national defense, infrastructure, police, education, and emergency services.

Now, NGOs are given almost $4 trillion of our tax dollars a year.

80% are left leaning, and engage in activities that the majority of Americans oppose.

We are paying for the protests, the chaos, and the destruction of our own country.

Why are NGOs given ANY tax money at all?

This is so WRONG.

Taxes should be kept to the bare minimum.

Instead, American citizens are being increasingly taxed to pay for all this excessive spending.

This has to end. No more $ to NGOs.

[Eric Mann 🇺🇸 @EMann13]

@4thOfJuly365 @ChuckGrassley I think it is time for you to go. All the good you have done is over shadowed by things like this. And your ridiculous blue slips. Undermining @POTUS on the big things that really matter. And betraying your constituents.

[Eric Mann 🇺🇸 @EMann13]

@CraigCaplan @ZachNunn @RandyFeenstra @RepAshleyHinson WTF? This is not what Iowans want. I swear, you guys vote more Democrat than Republican. And definitely don’t support @POTUS

[John LeFevre @JohnLeFevre]

There must be swift arrests and resignations of elected officials for fraud and corruption, nationwide.

Otherwise, the system breaks down.

Every hardworking, law-abiding, taxpaying person has to look in the mirror and say, "I am the sucker."

People work 40 years of their lives for a fraction of what these fraudsters stole, and they paid for it.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Carolyn Phippen says what we are all feeling, The American People are full of rage for US Congress

“Does someone want to explain what is going on in Washington, DC.? Video on Somali daycare fraud gets over 100 million views — and Congress decides giving a few more billion dollars of your money to NGOs to facilitate and subsidize more foreigners is a good idea

- The Senate is asking for $5.6 billion more dollars for refugees
- And the House wants $4.3 billion for the same refugee scams posing as compassion with your money.

I'm just not sure any of this can even be solved at the federal level anymore.

It feels like they are all hopelessly clueless to the discontent and rage that have been slowly simmering in this country and will soon boil over if Congress does not very quickly reestablish their legitimacy as a governing force and start working for the American people.

Read a little history, guys, and then wake the heck up”

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

What’s the point? No, tell me, what’s the point?

What’s the point of laws if judges reinterpret them until they protect everyone except the people who obey them?

What’s the point of defending a nation if the same system refuses to defend your family from criminals it imported on purpose?

What’s the point of paying taxes if they fund fraud, reward deception, and subsidize parallel systems that never owed this place loyalty?

What’s the point of working, building, serving, if your labor is redistributed to those who broke the rules to get here?

What’s the point of accountability if paperwork matters more than reality, and intent matters less than optics?

I’ll tell you what the point is. The point is that any human with a brain is going to retreat to whatever group rewards his values and sacrifice. If it isn’t the nation, it becomes the tribe. And when it becomes the tribe, this American experiment is over.

A warrior can endure hardship, loss, and some long odds. What he cannot endure is betrayal by design.

When a nation stops enforcing its boundaries, its laws, and its obligations to its own people, it doesn’t just lose control, IT BURNS THE VERY WILL REQUIRED TO DEFEND IT.

I want something to defend that I believe in. We all do. I take the oath deadly serious. But one begins to wonder after awhile if that makes for a patriot or a sucker.

If a Soldier can follow it and die in defense of his country, but on the other side of the coin, there is a politician who can spit on it and get rich while importing and funding pirates…. it really makes one wonder: What’s it all for?

@POTUS we know what problems you face. It’s not lost on us. But we are running out of time sir.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Now that we're all aware that medical fraud is a multi-billion dollar industry in Minnesota, can we get some answers about Rep. Melissa Hortman's murder?

Melissa Hortman is the only Democrat to vote against healthcare for illegals. She killed the bill.

Hortman and her husband were murdered soon after this vote.

Her killer was appointed by Tim Walz. The killer's wife worked for Tim Walz. The killer said Tim Walz ordered the murder in his confession letter. The killer named Tim Walz multiple times in his arraignment. Her killer had 'No Kings' flyers in his car. The guy clearly had a screw loose - but has anyone asked Tim Walz a question about this connection on the record?

Has there been an investigation?

Dark things are happening in Minnesota, man.

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Rep. Melissa Hortman sounded absolutely TERRIFIED while speaking to the media after she voted NO on healthcare for illegals

She was just ass*ssinated this morning.

She knew she’d end up as a target in one form or another.
