If you can do 50 slow calf raises without stopping, your calves, circulation, knees, metabolism, and future self will thank you.
One of the most underrated exercises for healthy aging and metabolic health.
Here are 7 reasons why: 👇🏻
1. Builds a powerful “second heart” in your lower legs
Your Biological Age Audit:
1. Dead Hang
2. Wall Sit
3. Resting Heart Rate
4. Single Leg Balance
5. 3-Minute Step Test
6. Waist-to-Height Ratio
7. Sit-to-Stand
Fail 3 or more → you're biologically older than your passport says.
Every single one is reversible.
How?
California Senate passes bill giving up to $150K each to illegals for new homes.
Bill is expected to pass the assembly.
Taxpayers in Cali cool with this?
Had the chance to speak with Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla and watch him train with the great @Eric_XCMMA.
Really fascinating to hear how much MMA has influenced the way he coaches.
He’s clearly put in the work himself. Far more than just a fan of the sport.
Hard to admit as a Knicks fan, but props where they're due.
My key takeaways from Summer League:
- We have four worthy number 1 picks in this draft in Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer and Wilson. All have been as good or better than advertised.
- Darius Acuff lacks defensive engagement and overall proficiency in that area. This isn’t saying he can’t be a reasonable defender one day, but if it stands out at Summer League it’s going to be glaring in the league. He does however, have that star makeup on the offensive end. He will make big shots. He will make tough shots. Either way he will be box office and sell tickets in Sacramento. The buzz is already starting to show. He also has that late game gene which can open up his ceiling in the league as a go-to guy at the end of games.
- Cameron Carr is a steal in this draft
- Yaxel Lendeborg can play rotation minutes for the Warriors tomorrow and be fine
- Aday Mara has mobility concerns at the next level. He’s talented and will no doubt have an impact, but it will always be there. You can’t teach size though and he’s going to be effective in the right lineups.
- Morez Johnson Jr has been great, but I still think the Mavs may end up regretting not taking Brayden Burries ahead of him who’s been super impactful in every appearance.
- Keaton Wagler is the type of prospect I feel will always need a strong complimentary back court partner next to him in order to maximize his own gifts.
- Outside of Darryn Peterson, Mikel Brown Jr has every chance to be the best guard in this draft. Motor, decision-making, IQ, playmaking, athleticism, communication. He’s shown it all.
- I have questions around Kingston Flemings’ rim pressure and overall shooting, but his ball security is a plus, his defensive aggression is always there and his ability to operate in a heavy pick-and-roll offense translates to the league
- Tyler Nickel may be the best pure shooter in the draft
- Christian Anderson will struggle with physically at the pro level
- Jury is still out on Nate Ament
- Offensive rebounding needs to be Hannes Steinbach’s calling card to get minutes in the league, because he’s still very much learning the game
- I expect Liam McNeeley to be featured more for the Hornets this upcoming season
- Cody Williams has no noticeable signs of growth in his game
- Bennett Stirtz will help the Thunder. I have no doubts when he gets in that system that he’ll be productive. The processing is impressive.
- Egor Demin will take a leap next season
- Hugo Gonzalez is ready for a bigger role with the Celtics
- Khaman Maluach is still such a high upside prospect. Has everything you want in an energy defensive big who plays above the rim. Needs NBA reps.
- Noah Penda can have a bigger role in the Magic’s second unit next season
- Adou Thiero is one of the best young athletes in the league. Period. Needs to learn how to slow down but if he can give consistent defensive production and be viable on offense, he might see a few minutes in the Lakers’ rotation.
- Ben Saraf has a long way to go, as does Drake Powell
- Labaron Philon Jr should never have fallen as far as he did
- Meleek Thomas is a lottery worthy talent
- I remain a huge fan of Will Riley
- Lester Quinones has my attention
- Sergio De Larrea is a rare pure point guard with genuine floor general skills. I hope he sees minutes in Dallas.
#ohio now has the second most cases of #cyclospora in the U.S. behind #michigan. I know it’s gross... but it’s the parasite causing explosive, violent diarrhea. Hospitalizations reported. Restaurants clearing out produce. Need antibiotics to treat. #fyp#cleveland@WEWS
Bill O’Reilly says that E. Jean Carroll must be criminally prosecuted
It turns out she wasn’t paid a little bit to lie about Donald Trump and target him, she was paid a lot. $7 MILLION in funding for her lawsuits against Trump
“The E. Jean Carroll fraud should be prosecuted. That is the most outrageous story — It's so outrageous that the woman testifies in a deposition under oath that nobody is helping her, no lawyer is helping her, no pro bono, and then we find out she got $7 million”
The lawyer was connected to Jeffrey Epstein and is a Democrat donor
I’ll break down what happened
Carroll’s lawyers Kaplan Hecker & Fink received $7 million from a nonprofit tied to billionaire Reid Hoffman. He is a LinkedIn co-founder and major Democratic donor and tied to Epstein
In a 2022 deposition, Carroll testified under oath that no one was helping her financially with legal fees. She said no pro bono, no outside funding
She lied, like they all always do
If we don’t have accountability in America then why are any of us following any laws and paying taxes
Collin Morikawa ❤️
It’s been a funky 2026 year for Morikawa as he won early at Pebble and then at the Players tweaked his back, being forced to WD
Since the Players, he has posted 5 top 7 or better finishes, most recently finishing 3rd at the Travelers
At the Travelers, he gained 8 strokes on approach and hasn’t lost strokes on approach this year
I believe his accuracy off-the-tee will be a weapon for him this week with some thick rough and fescue at Royal Birkdale
He has really found something with the putter gaining strokes on the greens in four straight starts
I believe Royal St George’s is a good comp this week comparative to the other Open Championship rotational courses and Moriakwa won his Open Championship there back in 2021 (had em that week)
Morikawa has been one of the top 5 players in the world this year and is due to truly contend at a major championship this year
When police are killed in the line of duty I always hear the same sentiment
"They knew the risk when they took the job."
How come we can’t apply this logic when criminals are killed during arrests?
"They knew the risk when they did the crime."
Seeing the despicably cruel, heartless and abusive way that many people in UK and US have responded to the deaths of conservative politicians, Ann Widdecombe and Lindsey Graham, reminds me that the least kind people on earth are ironically those on the #BeKind woke left.
🚨 WOW. Border Czar Tom Homan just gave the PERFECT response to Pope Leo
"I'm a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd STAY OUT of immigration, they don't know what they're talking about."
"Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!"
"And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime."
"Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border!"
"Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that."
"Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."
Mic drop.
Let’s review the scoreboard: The premier nuclear threat on the planet is gone, the world’s top drug kingpin is locked up in New York, the economy is surging, and inflation has been cut from Biden’s 9% nightmare down to just over 3%.
Meanwhile, the usual suspects want to import socialism—ignoring the mountain of history where it has killed roughly 130 million people over the last 150 years.
Trump Derangement Syndrome remains undefeated.
Illegal immigrants killed 13,000
Americans in 2024.
The total number of homicides in the US in 2024 was 20,162.
That's 64% of all murders.
THIS IS WHY WE SUPPORT ICE
If you’re against ICE then you’re the problem in America.
I called this out last week, the moment I found out:
Tim Walz pardoned a convicted child rapist, days before he was set to be deported.
Peggy Flanagan stood right beside him.
Secretary Rubio rightly did what our own governor wouldn’t. He held the criminal accountable and made sure justice was served for that innocent girl.
Minnesotans don’t need leaders who stand beside predators. They need ones who protect our people.
That’s exactly why I’m running.
Tim Walz just said, “So what if he raped some children? Things happen!… but if we allow for him to be deported, that means Trump and MAGA wins!”
You know what that makes Democrats? Pedo protectors. Don’t let them ever again project that onto anyone else.
