"The researchers found a positive association between feeling bothered by the news article and expressing disbelief in the allegations. Participants who experienced higher levels of mental discomfort were more likely to claim the accusations were fabricated. This suggests that the denial is not just a calm rejection of information, but rather a direct response to the psychological distress of cognitive dissonance."

New Lions OL Ben Bartch is an intriguing contender for the starting LG battle — and, at minimum, a valuable young, versatile depth piece:
• Started 2 games at LG in each of the last two seasons for the 49ers
• 26 career NFL starts: 15 LG / 11 RG
• 2025 PFF offensive grade: 71.7 (22nd among OGs — min. 200 snaps)
• 6'6", 309 pounds with 32 7/8" arms
• 2020 JAX 4th Round Pick / Age 28 Season
• 0-star TE recruit who attended Division III Saint John’s (MN)
• Moved from backup TE to LT before his junior season (2018) and started the next two years there (27 games)
• Notably gained 70 pounds to move to OL thanks to a shake consisting of 7 scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, grits, peanut butter, bananas, and Gatorade — which he famously made for Colleen Wolfe during the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine broadcast (below)
• Highest-drafted player in Saint John’s (MN) history and only the second player from the school ever drafted
Reporter: If you could say something to Trump, what would it be?
PA voter: You’re a worthless pile of sh*t.
Reporter: How many times did you vote for him?
PA voter: 3 times. That was my bad. Apparently I’m an idiot.

Look folks, reality can sometimes be hard to accept.
We all want freedom for Iran. The regime was a horrible, nasty pack of religious zealots for whom terrorism & murder was always the first option. Their revolution started by killing 400 people in a theater with arson & chained exit doors. They sent thousand of kids to their deaths with toy keys around their necks promising entry to heaven if they just walk in to Iraqi minefields.
I’ve tracked IRGC terrorism across Iraq, Lebanon, Syria & Yemen and even fought them in the PG, They almost killed me in 1988. The Islamic regime needed/still needs to be destroyed … that said:
People are getting upset with why I assess this war will likely fail to topple the regime.
Because it is a fantasy based in Trump’s head using lethal tools we prepared for 47 years for the right moment. That moment likely has passed.
Trump has no idea what he’s doing. Because he has contempt for the people who know what they’re doing & the history of what came before him.
If Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires then Iran is the funeral home of empires. It dresses you up and lays you into the coffin neatly. Then closes the lid.
Trump cannot understand why Iran hasn’t surrendered … “Lookit all them bombs,” he shouts “They should all love Trump!”
That’s it. That’s the Iran-War strategy. He does not care about the people of Iran. It a score settling grudge match egged on by Netanyahu’s 40 years of promises that war will change the regime if we just drop enough bombs & assassinate its leaders.
So If you want to live in a fantasy world where we are suddenly being greeted as liberators by the 93 million Iranians … feel free.
You are now set up for earth shattering disappointment.
You have to account for the fact that Trump could have attacked in support of the protesters in January. He didn’t & he let them be killed. He was completely indifferent. The 30k dead were a one-day talking point.
Right now, none of these attacks will liberate Iran without a populist uprising or invading ground forces. Worse case is a sectarian Civil war. If that happens the only outcome is that it will kill a lot of people, splinter the country & take down the global economy. Trump will sleep soundly & demand he be made Ayatollah.
This is literally his mental illness masked as foreign policy
This war may give some Iranians hope but it’s a false one. Gird for a horrible chain of dramatic events but rest assured Trump doesn’t care about the people of Iran.
He only want its oil. He said so.
I’m sorry folks, but my job is to deliver reality based assessments, not promise you sunshine in a swirling hurricane of flying bullets, bombs, excrement & razor wire.
That is all.
A guy who dodged a war (with a fake injury) just started a war (from his country club) that he promised he'd never start (that his family will never have to fight) while wearing a golf hat.
This guy is a greasy orange stain on our country.
I just went to Minnesota Frost practice and talked to four of the gold medalists (Heise, Pannek, Curl, Zumwinkle) and all of them echoed this. Heise said they’ve received public and private apologies too from men’s players
Former ICE attorney Ryan Schwank on why he left the agency:
I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution when I joined ICE. I followed it when I resigned. The legally required training program at the ICE academy is deficient, defective, and broken.
BREAKING: CAUGHT IN A LIE!
Kash Patel was accidentally recorded on Team USA’s Dylan Larkin’s Instagram video (now-deleted) celebrating with Team USA in the locker room after the Gold medal game, even though the FBI Assistant Director of Public Affairs claimed it was false when MSNow Journalists reported that Patel was going to the Olympics on Taxpayers’ dime.
Here’s the proof. Please share.
Abbey Murphy flips the puck into the air, knocks it between the defender’s legs, and sets up Bella Fanale for the goal.
Among the nastiest assists I’ve ever seen. Murphy is headed to the Olympics with Team USA next month
Kid Rock was standing room only. The tens of attendees fully enjoyed his most excellent lip sync performance. The energy was beyond anything Bad Bunny could ever hope to have in an almost live event.
