@atrupar Oh, but the corruption coming out of the White House is totally fine. Give me a break. These people are frauds and liars. Everything is a confession.
I think getting fired from a job can be the best thing to happen if it signals an alarm to the rest of us that democracy is on fire and we know who the arsonists are.
@maddenifico I don't mean to argue with guy who has 53 monthly listeners on Spotify, but he popped off to his boss like a coked up yorkie in front of the entire staff. What do you expect? Every employer on the planet would also fire him.
LMAO you can’t make this up….in the year 2026 that moron Erin Lewis from Staind is out there on some podcast crying that Bruce Springsteen "duped" them with "Born in the U.S.A."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you don’t see the oppression and distortion of the free press then the #trumpregime already won you over. What will USA look like after 2 1/2 more years of this government takeover? Vote people vote!
New statement from Scott Pelley:
There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.
The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.
“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.
The waste is heartbreaking.
Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.
I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Same thing in HS Boys golf. As a coach for a public school I knew before the DIV 3 Regional 14 competition that the teams advancing to the State Finals would be three of the private schools. Just sayin'.
Private school teams represent just a fraction of MHSAA tournament fields. Yet in three team sports this spring, these "club" teams have won 59 of 101 possible district 🏆 and posted a 132-55 record against public school opponents.
This isn't about blaming schools for playing by the rules. It's about asking whether the rules still produce competitive balance. How much more evidence is needed before the MHSAA addresses the issue? The organization's lack of action is simple negligence.

@jerichsen66@FRInglis I agree I think they be fine after everyone declared them dead for the hundredth time. 10 event schedule mostly all outside the u.s. where they draw well makes sense
Where is the financial backing now? DP World Tour might expand and incorporate these LIV players (re: Jon Rahm) but LIV without Saudi money has a terminal prognosis
@FRInglis The reality is- There are parts of the worlds where Liv is well received, embraced and supported. If LIV draws into those markets, there is a future. Golf is a global sport and golf fans outside of the US will watch elite golfers, if they get the opportunity to do so.
@FRInglis LIV might be dying or it might be evolving to something more sustainable and authentic, without PIF controlling the purse strings. Time will tell whether LIV can source the required funding and just how invested in the league the players truly are...
🚨 JUST IN: Minnesota allowed a MULTIMILLION DOLLAR MEDICAID FRAUDSTER to escape to KENYA, and gave his accomplice ZERO TIME IN JAIL
They stole $11 MILLION from taxpayers, and no jail time?!
Walz and Ellison are COMPLICIT. That's why they're handing out sweetheart deals.
There are text messages of the fraudsters ADMITTING they were going to overbill the government and run.
ZERO punishment.
Absolutely absurd.
People still think donations are solely paying for this infrastructure? Keep up with the news! Plus, any donations are ransom or bribe money that will be kickbacks that ultimately taxpayers end up paying.
🚨 Trump has pardoned Trevor Milton, a man convicted of stealing $695 million from investors.
This pardon came after Milton donated nearly $1 million to Trump's PAC.
