Just saw The Odyssey. Despite what you may have heard, literally all of the criticisms by conservatives were entirely correct. The movie is just as woke as you fear, if not more so. The DEI casting is atrocious. Completely takes you out of the story right from the beginning. But even worse than that is Nolan’s decision to turn Odysseus into an anachronistic whiney, solemn shell of a man plagued by “trauma” and guilt. It’s impossible to overlook these flaws because the film itself is not terribly entertaining or well constructed. For the most part it is disjointed, dull, self-serious, disenchanted, somehow feeling both verbose and overly rushed at the same time. The dialogue is some of the worst I’ve ever heard in a “critically acclaimed” film. “On the nose” and “clunky” are descriptions that can’t even begin to describe this script. At no point in the story does Nolan ever transport the audience to the ancient world. You never feel like you’re 3,000 years in the past. You feel like you’re watching modern Americans put on a pageant, because you are. Nobody would be calling this thing a masterpiece if it was made by a director not named Christopher Nolan.
It's weird how all the SEC fans who accused Texas Tech of "destroying the integrity of the game" a couple of months ago seem totally cool with that conference only playing itself and calling that "college sports."
I agree with Jennifer Welch: she definitely shouldn't have home schooled her kids, mainly because trapping a child for hours in a room with Jennifer Welch is a form of torture prohibited under the Eighth Amendment and the Geneva Conventions
Texas Tech is the ONLY Monster Energy Big 12 school with a campus in Spain 🇪🇸
Congratulations to your 2026 World Cup Champion Red Raiders!
It’s all about Texas Tech.
5 American citizens have been k*lled by ICE (self-defense)

Take a guess which one liberals are protesting in the streets over?
Darryl Strawberry says World Series rings, All-Star success and fame still couldn't fill what he calls the "empty void" in his life.
The MLB legend shares how his mother's prayers and his wife, Tracy, led him back to church, where he says he found new life through faith in Jesus Christ.
"Jesus is the way. All these other ways that we go, we find ourselves in darkness. We find ourselves trying to fill the empty void with all this stuff, and it just does not fill it."
Caitlin Clark is the face of the WNBA.
She just had a 45 POINT 10 ASSISTS DOUBLE DOUBLE with 4 steals, 2 blocks and 2 rebounds.
Shot 11/18 from the field and 6/10 from 3 point range in 29 minutes with a +16 +/-.
Other players have scored more points this year and in years pasts, but most of all, IT WAS EXCITING. That’s why the fans love watching her play. Her style is just different than what they are used to seeing.
Caitlin Clark is UNDOUBTEDLY the most popular player in the WNBA.
Caitlin Clark is a record breaking great player on and off the court. There is no denying that.
Caitlin Clark has helped bring record breaking viewership, crowds and money with her to the WNBA.
The issue in the WNBA right now amongst the players is that when you say someone is the “FACE OF THE WNBA” every competitive player will only conceded that designation to a player that they believe as earned it with their play on the court.
The “Face of the WNBA” to the players and former players is A’Ja Wilson. She is respected as such by her peers because she is the best player in the WNBA, the only 4 time WNBA MVP and has won 3 WNBA Championships.
The Face of the WNBA to the fans is Caitlin Clark. She is the player that excites the masses the most with her play style and has broken numerous WNBA records in her first 3 season.
And there lies the disconnect.
Michael Jordan was the face of the NBA before he won a Championship, but it came with extreme push back from the rest of the league in how they guarded him and treated him.
LeBron James was the face of the NBA before he won a Championship, but it came with extreme push back from the rest of the league in how they guarded him and treated him.
When players feel like they are being overshadowed by a player they feel doesn’t have the accolades to warrant it, they fight it. They don’t respect it.
But there is a difference between being the face of the WNBA and being the best player in the WNBA.
Definition of Face of the any professional league,
“Title given to the league's most recognizable, marketable, and impactful player at any given time.”
The fans have spoken on this matter, but many players and former players won’t like it because the gap in the accomplishments between A’Ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark is massive.
Caitlin Clark is the face of the WNBA before she has won a championship and it has come with extreme push back from the players in the way she is guarded and treated. Just like Michael Jordan and LeBron James were.
Will Caitlin Clark ever become the best player in the WNBA? She can. She has the ability to. But right now, she is the WNBA’s most recognizable player.
That’s not disrespectful to the other great players in the WNBA, it’s the reality of where the WNBA was before and after Caitlin Clark showed up.
Regardless, it’s okay to celebrate the greatness of all the WNBA’s great players without turning it into a race war.
For the players, for the fans, for the WNBA and for the kids watching, this has to stop.
He was genius.
He was a patriot.
He loved his country.
He loved his family.
But what he wanted to be remembered for most, was being a courageous disciple of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We
Miss
You
