It’s going to be Horner back in F1 and then the journos are going to performatively be shocked that everyone is mad that they vague tweeted about it for hours
We’ll see some “there needs to be more respect” posts, and they’ll all retweet each others stuff, feeding us slop and expecting us to like it!
For shame!
This is straight of a movie. Trump says he doesn’t think a red card deserves a suspension - mind you he says he just learned that it did in fact lead to a one game suspension - so it ain’t happening for Balogun. Absolutely wild.
Is American exceptionalism extending to football?
#FIFA reversed a red-card suspension of a U.S. player after receiving a phone call reportedly from #Trump.
It was reportedly the first time since 1962 that FIFA had nullified a #WorldCup red-card ban.
Nilatpal Basu posted this on FB:
At the #WorldCup on Tuesday — a man in a red suit stood completely still for 90 minutes in the stands. Then he covered his mouth and pointed a gun to his head.
FIFA’s cameras cut away immediately.
His name is Michel Kuka Mboladinga — known as “Lumumba Vea,” which means “Lumumba Lives.” For more than a decade he has stood motionless at every DR Congo match — suit and tie, arm raised — as a living tribute to Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of an independent Congo.
Patrice Lumumba gave a stunning Independence Day speech on June 30, 1960 — standing before King Baudouin of Belgium — excoriating Belgian colonialism. Malcolm X called him “the greatest Black man who ever walked the African continent.”
Six months after independence, Belgian officers and soldiers captured Lumumba, tortured him, and executed him by firing squad. His body was dismembered and dissolved in acid. The only known remnant was a gold tooth kept by the Belgian officer responsible for 39 years until his death.
That is what Lumumba Vea stands in tribute to. Every single match. In a suit. Motionless. For 90 minutes.
On Tuesday against Colombia — he added something new. He covered his mouth and mimicked a gun to his head. A silent, devastating protest against the world’s silence over eastern DR Congo — one of the globe’s most severe yet least-covered humanitarian crises, which has displaced millions and claimed countless lives through violence and massacres.
Lumumba Vea went viral this week — covered by USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, CNN and the BBC. Every outlet explained the Patrice Lumumba connection. Not one mentioned the link between Lumumba’s CIA-backed assassination, the Western strategy to destabilize an independent Congo, and the current humanitarian catastrophe in eastern DRC today.
That connection is not a footnote. It is the entire story.
The same Western powers that assassinated Lumumba in 1961 — because he wanted Congo’s mineral wealth to benefit Congolese people — have spent 65 years ensuring the DRC remains destabilized, its cobalt and coltan flowing to Western technology companies while its people are massacred in the east.
FIFA cut the cameras. The mainstream media covered the gesture without the history. And a man in a red suit stood in the stands and said — without words — what the world refuses to hear.
Lumumba Lives.

O Neymar fazer esse gol e sair provocando o goleiro da Noruega dizendo “comigo não” perdendo tempo enquanto a seleção é eliminada foi uma das coisas mais constrangedoras que eu já assisti nesse esporte. E isso define o que o Neymar é e sempre foi: um autocentrado.

India beats defending champions Bahrain for the second time, ensuring a 3rd place finish, the best finish in Asia since 1986.
Terrific comeback from a team who just fell short to Indonesia in a five set thriller yesterday. And it was so good to see the Amdavad crowd in full strength for this third place playoff!

Sarthak Goswami has brilliantly exposed how Ethanol production is ruining a beautiful city.
He went to Byrnihat to investigate why a city with less than one lakh people is more polluted than Delhi, Ghaziabad & Lahore.
The reason? There are more than 80 factories in a small area, that are constantly pumping dust particles in the air.
The worst part is that these factories are producing Ethanol, the same product that is being sold as a solution to pollution.
I hope Gadkari can explain this without calling Sarthak a traitor.
Na khaoonga, na khane doonga. After chanda chors at Ram Temple, @BJP4India’s Madhya Pradesh CM’s land controversy, now another @BJP4India VIP in the @narendramodi government entangled in a web of controversy. Modi minister Bhagirath Choudhary, received a ₹99.6 lakh subsidy (roughly ₹1 crore) for a commercial cucumber farming project in Rajasthan from HIS OWN MINISTRY. The incompetent & allegation-ridden @narendramodi government is now tottering, it has sprung a thousand leaks. It stays alive only because of the captive EC & captured media.
