BREAKING: Axios reports that Trump told Netanyahu in their latest phonecall, 'You’re f***ing crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.'

[Luke O'Nien @LukeONien]

EUROPA LEAGUE was never the dream.

Not because I didn’t want it.

Because if I’m being honest, I never thought it was possible.

What kid would?

Especially when 12 years ago I was playing non league football in the Ryman Premier and Conference South, just trying to stay alive in the game.

What kid dreams about Europe when, two weeks into the off season, his dad has to tell him he’s been released by Watford F.C. over the phone?

I was heartbroken.

My dad looked at me and said:

“What are we doing tomorrow?”

To which I replied with the words he’d drilled into me my whole life:

“We’re training, Dad.”

So we trained.

Every single day.

My dad emailed every EFL club asking for an opportunity.

One club replied.

One.

That was all I needed.

An opportunity.

@WealdstoneFC and @wwfcofficial , I’ll always be indebted to you.

Then came the move to @SunderlandAFC .

A massive club.

A massive opportunity.

And I couldn’t wait to prove myself.

But 45 minutes into my debut… hooked.

“Rabbit caught in headlights. Waste of money. Get rid.”

Then came the Championship.

“He’s not good enough for this level.”

Then the Premier League.

“Let’s give him a debut and then get rid of him.”

I understood the doubt.

I’ve faced it my whole career.

And truthfully, you doubt yourself too at times.

But I’ve always tried to live by one mindset:

Outwork your doubt.

You don’t always need to see the full journey.

You just need to take the next step.

Then the next one.

And then another.

Even when social media tells you you’re not good enough.

Even when the voice inside your own head whispers the same thing.

Keep working.

Keep learning.

Keep showing up.

Because sometimes the places you end up are bigger than anything your younger self could’ve ever imagined.

To any young player reading this, don’t put a ceiling on yourself too early.

You genuinely have no idea where this game and life can take you.

And to the boys… thank you.

You removed the glass ceiling I’d placed on myself.

What a team.

What a club.

What a fanbase.

Sunderland… rocking all over Europe ❤️🤍

And in the words of Granit Xhaka:

“This is just the beginning.”

🚨BASED: 18-year-old Lamine Yamal raised the PALESTINIAN FLAG during Barcelona's La Liga title parade today.

A teenager has more spine than every G7 head of state combined.

While the political class writes blank checks for bombing of children, the kid won the league and used his platform to expose Israel's war crimes.

Watch the Epstein media try to make HIM the villain by tomorrow.

Maybe you don’t know this, but Apple just made a deal with Israel, and new iPhones are expected to include Israeli chips. Funny how many people probably won’t even pay attention to who’s listening.

The whole Iran war is beginning to feel like groundhog day.

Insider trades → Escalation → markets crash, oil rips → insider trades → de-escalation → markets rip, oil crash

Repeat from step 1.

[Al Jazeera Breaking News @AJENews]

Israeli forces have intercepted around a dozen Gaza-bound aid boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters near the Greek island of Crete, more than 1,000km from Israel.

Organisers call it an illegal attack on civilians in international waters.

[Steve Sweeney @SweeneySteve]

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba

I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film

As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes

It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.

But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

TUCKER CARLSON: “The idea that Israel accidentally k*lled tens of thousands of women & children in Gaza is a total lie-they murdered them on purpose. It's not even debatable; it's a fact.”

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Tucker Carlson gives a “super simple” explanation for why Israel would want to drag America into a hot war with Iran.

“It’s hard to say this, but the United States didn’t make the decision here. Benjamin Netanyahu did.”

“This happened because Israel wanted it to happen. This is Israel’s war. This is not the United States war.”

“Why would Israel want this?”

“Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday, Iran’s nuclear program has been on the very verge, ‘the cusp’ of building and deploying a nuclear weapon.”

“But if it was really about that, how could this threat have lasted for 40 years?”

“So what was the point? What is the point of this from Israel’s perspective? Well, the point is regional hegemony. Super simple.”

Anyone who cheers for war is stupid.

I'm glad to see @zachxbt exposing inside traders very publicly.

I'm sure the SEC & FBI are now going to quickly pursue the individuals involved right...

This is how you know the Epstein files are REALLY bad.
