When Cape Verde started taking control, every major decision suddenly went Argentina’s way.
When Egypt looked ready to go three goals clear, the referee found a reason to wipe one off.
When Switzerland threatened to complete the turnaround, a Swiss player was conveniently sent off.
You can look away all you want, but the pattern is becoming impossible to ignore. The favouritism is glaring, and the stench of corruption is everywhere.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on behalf of Donald Trump, expressed regret that the Saudi authorities signed defense agreements with Ukraine without consulting the United States, which had been Saudi Arabia’s main ally.
In response, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman noted that the U.S. had failed to fully protect the Kingdom from Iranian strikes, and therefore Saudi Arabia made a decision that could quickly strengthen its defense capabilities. The Crown Prince also stated that his country will continue to be guided by its own national interests when making decisions regarding its defense.
This was a slap in the face to Trump from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in response to Trump’s crude and scandalous public statement that “…now let the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia kiss my ass and be polite to me from now on.”
Thus, Trump’s reckless and irresponsible remarks have effectively put U.S.–Saudi relations on pause.
The Saudi Crown Prince proved to be more diplomatic than the American president and, notably, did not respond to Rubio by saying that Trump should “kiss my ass” and behave politely toward him in the future 😉

"Hey Tim Scott,
You spent years tap dancing through every interview, every speech, every Sunday show appearance telling America that racism was basically over and that your success story proved everybody else just needed to work harder and complain less.
You carried water for people who mocked civil rights, demonized poor people, gutted diversity programs, attacked voting rights, and treated Black history like a disease.
And for what?
No VP slot.
No cabinet throne.
No real power.
Not even basic respect.
You confessed your admiration on national television for people who viewed you as nothing more than a convenient talking point — the “See? We have one!” guy standing in the background smiling on cue.
Then the second you showed the smallest trace of independence and questioned that disgusting Obama monkey post, your own side turned on you like starving wolves.
Suddenly the loyal house servant wasn’t loyal enough.
Now you’re sitting in a car recording cellphone videos reminding the world that you’re still Black.
Trust us, Senator — nobody forgot.
The problem is that you spent so much time trying to convince other people that racism wasn’t real that now, when it smacks you directly in the face, you want sympathy from the same community you lectured for years.
You defended the people stripping away protections for minorities, women, the poor, and working-class families. You stood beside people cheering the destruction of programs our grandparents marched, bled, and died for.
And now you look shocked that the crowd you entertained never actually saw you as an equal.
The Bible talks about the Prodigal Son returning home after losing everything.
But the Prodigal Son came home humble.
You spent years helping burn the house down.
And now you’re politically homeless:
too Black for the people you defended,
too eager to defend them for the people you abandoned.
That’s the tragedy of selling your dignity for a seat at a table that was never meant for you.
Tim, you may be the PRODIGAL SON, BUT YOU CAN’T COME HOME."
We saw it coming. He didn't want to.
I know this man. I had a two room apartment in a mansion on the beach. The owner of the house knew him well, although I'm sure he's denying it today. He would stop by and drink some wine, talk politics and then leave. He did not stike me as the "kind" , but .......

I was wondering why the Mormons decided to settle in Utah rather than going all the way west to California, which was still largely uninhabited before the gold rush of 1848.
Turns out they actually did consider this, and Mormon pioneer Sam Brannan led 238 Mormons to Yerba Buena (now San Francisco) in 1846, actually making SF a Mormon-majority city for a year or two. Brannan arrived in California a year before the first Mormons arrived in Utah.
In 1847, Brannan met with Mormon leader Brigham Young to urge him to bring the Mormons to California, but Young refused because California was too desirable and they wouldn't be able to maintain a stable Mormon demographic majority.
Young was right. Utah remained majority Mormon until around 2007, while California was swamped by Gold Rush settlers starting in 1848 and is only ~2% Mormon today.
As an early settler, landowner, and proprietor in California, Brannan ended up becoming enormously wealthy. He was the first to popularize the Gold Rush through his newspaper, and became the backstory behind “in a gold rush, sell shovels” when he bought up the state’s entire supply of picks, pans, and shovels to sell them to gold speculators. He also created SF’s first private vigilante group to stamp out crime and made Napa Valley a popular tourist destination when he founded the town of Calistoga. Brannan Street in Soma is named after him.
@DrBuzz_Forensic I met him at Art Basil in Miami.
Funny... we were looking at a particular dirty painting and cracking jokes about what our mom's would say if we hung it in our houses..... the salesman was crying... he thought he had him for a sale!
Holy shit, this is BRILLIANT: This dude breaks down why everyone thinks the whole WHCD event was fake... everything about trump is FAKE.
Best video you'll see today.
Yup, and then he threw it all away by pledging to trump by attending the white house premiere of Melania! On the night that trump's goons murdered a protester in cold blood on the streets of Minneapolis...
🚨 In 1979 a 17-year-old was washing dishes to survive. No car. No money. No plan.
Nobody saw it coming.
He had just moved out of his family home to escape chaos.
He was so broke he washed his dishes in the bathtub because his apartment had no kitchen.
Three years later he was earning more than his teachers, his parents, and everyone who told him to be realistic.
Ten years later he was the highest paid speaker on earth.
His name was Tony Robbins. He did not discover a secret.
He discovered that human behavior follows patterns.
And patterns can be changed.
In 50 years he has worked with 4 million people in person.
50 million through his programs.
Presidents. Billionaires. World champions. Broken people rebuilding from nothing.
The patterns he found work every time.
On everyone. Without exception.
I turned Tony Robbins' core human performance principles into 12 Claude prompts.
You describe your situation and it gives you the exact intervention that changes the pattern.
Here are all 12:
Anthropic pays engineers $750,000 a year to understand how AI models actually work.
Stanford just put the same knowledge on YouTube.
2 hours. Completely free.
This is the lecture that teaches you what most AI courses skip entirely.
Not how to use the tools.
Why they work the way they do.
The engineers who understand the why build things the people who only know the how cannot even conceive of.
The gap between those two groups is $750,000 a year.
You can close most of it in an afternoon.

Watch it this weekend.
Not eventually.
This weekend.
