Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals was absolute INSANITY. Goals called back, own goals, 9 total goals scored, and 2 Stanley Cup Finals records broken. I feel bad for the people not watching this #StanleyCup#StanleyCupFinals
Playoff wins over the last decade:
1 - Vegas Golden Knights (76)
2 - Tampa Bay Lightning (66)
3 - Carolina Hurricanes (60)
3 - Colorado Avalanche (60)
5 - Dallas Stars (56)
Im sorry but President Trump is absolutely correct.
The way California conducts their elections is a legitimate, credible threat to democracy:
1. Ballot harvesting is LEGAL, meaning 3rd parties are allowed to deliver thousands of completed ballots themselves with ZERO supervision or timeline.
2. There is ZERO requirement to show ANY type of ID when one comes to vote.
3. There are thousands of UNATTENDED drop boxes for ballots. There are DOZENS of examples of them being lit on fire, stolen, or bombarded with fake ballots.
4. The homeless are regularly paid to vote. The are given illegitimate addresses and coached through the process.
5. About 13 million of the approximately 16 million votes cast in 2024 were cast using vote-by-mail ballots. However, mail-in ballots are sent to every registered voter, whether you request them or not. California almost never updates their voting rolls, so ballots are REGULARLY sent to people who no longer live in the state, wrong address, or different person. My building alone had half a dozen such cases.
6. India had 660 million voters last election and counted the vote in one day. California has about 16 million and counting takes at least 30 days. This is a national embarrassment.
Hate the Golden Knights all you want, but recognize the beauty behind their story
And how they helped unite a city together after an awful tragedy
Never forget Oct. 1, 2017
Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.
They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.
Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.
They lost them for two reasons.
The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.
In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.
Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.
That fight dragged on for years.
The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.
Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.
So now it's all gone.
The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.
Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.
Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.
But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.
Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.
And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.
Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.
Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."
There it is. "Billionaire-owned."
That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.
Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.
Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."
When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.
They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.
Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.
But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."
Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.
Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.
Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.
@WAKEandRAKEpod Why worry about a team name when a team hasnât been awarded, and there is no guarantee MLB will award Sacramento a team. Salt Lake City and Nashville are still the leaders.
California's Secretary of State's website states that the election will take 35 days to count around 10 million votes.
India has 640 MILLION and counts them in a day. Florida counts around the same amount of votes as CA has now in 2026 in a day.
There is no problem. There is only FRAUD. They are stealing this election and they need to be stopped.
đ¨ BREAKING: Steve Hilton ERUPTS on California mail-in ballots, saying INDIA counts 640 million ballots in ONE DAY
"35 DAYS is the plan [to count]! This is an absolute shambles, a humiliation for California. It is making our state a laughing stock here in America and around the world. We have less than 10 million votes cast in this election in California and it's going to take them a month to count them!"
"India, 640 million, they do it in a day. States here in America, look at Florida, how quickly they get their count. Now, within hours, same sort of numbers."
"They have early voting, too. They have mail-in voting, too. But they can do it in an hour."
"Here it takes a month. It is an absolutely inexcusable calamitous catastrophe of incompetence from the same crew who bought you high-speed rail. Now, snails, pace, elections, it's not good enough."
"I'm laying out a plan to change this. Election count accelerator plan." đĽ
Rep. Randy Fine Demands DOJ IMMEDIATELY Intervenes in California Election: 'Theyâve Designed a System Specifically to CHEAT â Itâs Unconstitutional.'
âIt is a violation of MY constituents' rights to have people in Congress from California who may not be legitimately elected. What happens in California affects Florida because I have to serve with these numbnuts in Congress who may or may not have been elected legally.â
âThey have designed a system to cheat. Theyâve created no safeguards, no security, theyâve created every incentive and every ability to cheat.â
âIf you are in Texas, or Florida, or Georgia, or ANY state in the country, cheating in California affects you and your constitutional rights, which is why we have a federal responsibility to do something about it.â
So let me get this straight. There was a ballot drop of 24,000 ballots and not ONE was a vote for Spencer Pratt? People, if you still think elections aren't rigged, you truly are a special kind of retarded.
âď¸THIS is a GREAT read âď¸
Iâm worn out hearing people moan, âOur grandparents could buy a house on one paycheck, but now we canât even afford rent on two!â
Yeah, maybe because Grandma wasnât dropping half her income on $14 iced lattes and avocado toast shaped like art projects. Back then, if they wanted coffee, they boiled it at home in a dented pot. It tasted like burnt rubber and regret â but it woke you up and cleaned your pipes.
And Grandma wasnât âout to brunch.â You think she had time for mimosas and hashtags? She was making something called whateverâs left in the fridge and feeding six people with it.
Donât even start with Uber Eats. You think Grandpa was out here paying $38 to have a burger delivered three blocks away? Please. He grilled mystery meat on a rusted barbecue, and everyone called it dinner.
Now people cry about being broke while sitting in a house full of gadgets. Two SUVs in the driveway, six streaming services, three air fryers, and matching tattoos that cost more than their light bill. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? He did. It said âKorea, 1951,â and it came with trauma, not Instagram likes.
And the kidsâLord help us. âWe canât make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!â No, he doesnât. Youâre handing an $1100 device to a child who still eats crayons and forgets to flush.
When we were kids, there was one phone. It hung on the wall like a family relic. The cord stretched just far enough for you to whisper secrets before someone yelled, âGet off, I need to make a call!â And guess what? We lived.
The TV? One. In the living room. With three channels and a dial that clicked like a safe. And if Dad wanted to watch bowling, you were a fan of bowling, end of story.
Now thereâs a flat screen in every room, the babyâs got an iPad, the dogâs got a camera, and everyoneâs wondering why they canât afford rent.
Because youâre living like rock stars on retail salaries, thatâs why.
Grandpa wasnât leasing Teslas or buying $12 smoothies called âGreen Zen Awakening.â He drove a truck that coughed smoke, rattled like a storm, and smelled like oil and hard work.
They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa brought home on Friday â thatâs what they had. They werenât keeping up with the Joneses; they were keeping the lights on.
So yeah, Grandpa bought a house on one salary. But he also didnât have a gym membership, three delivery apps, and emotional support crystals on his nightstand. His only support system was Grandma, who told him to quit whining and mow the yard.
Nowadays, everyoneâs broke, anxious, and âmanifesting abundanceâ while ordering tacos on DoorDash for the fourth time this week.
Itâs not the economy â itâs the lifestyle.
Wake up, turn off your subscriptions, make your own coffee, and maybeâjust maybeâyouâll smell the truth.

F*cking legend đ
John Tortorella on what he's learned from coaching a veteran team with the Vegas Golden Knights.
"In the short time I've been with them, I watch them and listen to them. I've learned a ton from them. I've learned, I think coaches overcoach."
One of the paradoxes of leadership is that trying to help too much can sometimes hinder our impact.
Overcoaching often creates dependence. Ownership creates growth.
The best coaches understand that their job isn't to be the answer to every problem.
It's to build people who can solve problems without them.

Whoopi Goldbergâs comments reveal everything wrong with identity politics.
I didnât marry my wife because sheâs white.
She didnât marry me because Iâm Black.
We got married because we share the same values, the same faith, and the same vision for raising a family.
At no point did marrying a white woman make me less Black.
At no point did marrying a Black man make my wife less white.
What it made us was a family.
The people obsessed with race canât understand that most Americans donât choose friends, spouses, or family based on skin color. We choose them based on character, values, and love.
The civil rights movement wasnât about putting race at the center of everything. It was about moving beyond it.
