Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse. Crimson Tide fan. Working It Out. Wiffle-ballah. Opinions strictly my own.

Knicks are up 3-1 and only -500 to win the series. Seems pretty light. And not light in the sense that it makes me want to bet them.

Today we honor the courage, sacrifice, and honor of the troops who stormed the beaches of Normandy to fight for freedom.

@RepDonBacon Having just watched 1776 again at Ford's Theatre, I couldn't agree more with you.

[McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins]

Mitt Romney to Harvard Business School graduates: "There's more to a country than its economy. To be a great nation, it must also be a good nation. The world needs good men. It needs good women. Good leaders. Good parents raising good children. There is no national success that could compensate for failure to be a good and noble people."

Mike Tirico told me his secret.

It wasn't talent.
It wasn't luck.
It was what he does on every flight home.

A few years ago, I met him at a restaurant bar in Indianapolis during the Big Ten tournament. One of the biggest voices in sports.

He didn't lead with his résumé. He introduced himself. He asked questions. He cared about every person in the room before anyone cared about him.

Eventually, I asked him what made him great.

He said after every game he calls, on the flight home, he pulls up the broadcast and watches it back.

Listens to his own voice. Hunts for the misses. The dead air. The calls he wishes he could have over.

Every game. Twenty-plus years in.

He wasn't born world-class. He worked his way there one flight at a time.

The best in any room are usually the ones still grading themselves the hardest.

World-class isn't a personality.

It's a habit.

Ukraine does not "need" NATO.
NATO needs Ukraine.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

70% of Americans strongly support Ukraine. It is time that Congress reflect the will of the people and stand with freedom. I am glad we have 218 signatures on the discharge petition that will bring this vote to the floor.

When I retired from chess to help launch the pro-democracy movement against Putin in 2005, I was told that politics isn’t like chess, it’s all gray area. But in some things, like the fight between good and evil in Ukraine, it’s black and white. My speech at the Tryzub Gala:

[Dr. Fred Hoffman, Lieutenant Colonel (ret.) @InfoAgeStrategy]

Most Republicans— REAL Republicans—support Ukraine and adamantly oppose the war criminal Putin and his kleptocratic regime of war criminals.

I’m an old Cold Warrior who was once giddy at the prospect that once communist Russia was finally going to join the West as a civilized nation.

I don’t hate Russians, but I absolutely hate what the pederast gnome in the Kremlin has made of his country.

Slava Ukraïni! 🇺🇦

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

There's a joke that says the difference between a cult and a religion is that in the cult, the leader is still alive and profiting from it. Hannity has left a religion to join a cult.

Happy Tax Day everyone. Reminder on this day 30 years ago Grandma Gilmore refused to pay her taxes and had her home seized by the IRS. Starting the domino effect that eventually lead to Gilmore joining the tour and me losing another gold jacket. Thanks a lot Grandma.

[Justin ROSE @JustinRose99]

The lavish praise the Trump administration pours on Putins biggest fans in Europe, especially Orban, coupled with withering contempt for our allies, especially Zelensky, is beyond damning, it's a national disgrace.

You know who's standing for Western civilization? The people whom Orbán, Putin, and MAGA loathe: the Ukrainians.

As a Detroiter, Memphis deserves zero slander. They are our cousins. (Like Oakland & Atl). The cultural history of that town is incredible.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

ZELENSKYY to BBC: We went through difficult relations with Iran. We did nothing to them. They shot down our plane, killed our passengers and crew, didn’t admit it, and didn’t let experts in.

Then the full-scale war started. They handed Shahed drones to Russians to kill our civilians. I asked them to stop. They promised there would be only one batch. They lied and kept supplying weapons.

That’s why I consider them accomplices of Russia.

[Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera]

Putin, killer and kidnapper of children, is loving the shattering of the NATO alliance. It’s a dream come true for the embattled Russian leader. NATO-his sworn enemy-is fractured and he didn’t have to fire a shot.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

"Ukrainians have a not-so-secret weapon the Russians cannot match: the determination of a democratic nation to stay free." Russians fight as invaders, as tools of a corrupt and brutal dictatorship. Ukrainians fight as free men, for their freedom. They will win. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

As Putin drives his filthy population of savage barbarian slaves into a North Korean style hell-state, the Prime Minister of Armenia trolls the dictator, boasting that the people of Armenia have democracy, free internet and every form of social media while Russians live in shit
