🚨 JUST IN: A SECOND former NBA player — Royce White — is declaring himself eligible for the WNBA, per Fox

"I'm transgender. I identify, sometimes, as a woman, for purposes of basketball."

He joins Enes Kanter Freedom. White is 6 foot 8 at over 260 pounds, INSTANTLY would dominate existing female players 😭

"I'll be declaring for the 2027 WNBA draft."

The only way to stop him? The WNBA HAS TO DEFINE "WOMAN" and BAN males identifying as women.

PURE CHECKMATE!! 😂

Stephen A. Smith publicly APOLOGIZES to Kyrie Irving after calling him "selfish" for refusing the COVID jab.

"Hindsight-wise, it didn’t make him stubborn or selfish. It made him BRAVE."

"I watched Dr. Fauci on Capitol Hill yesterday, and the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irving."

“Kyrie Irving stood out in my mind because of the heat that he was taking... He refused the vaccine. New York City's mandate made him ineligible for home games, and he linked his stance to people losing jobs over vaccine mandates."

“In my opinion, particularly hindsight-wise, it didn't make him stubborn or selfish. It made him brave. His willingness to stand up and say, ‘Nah, I'm not doing that.’

“It's just a time for reflection — to look at things differently.”

Kyrie gave up $11,400,000 in game checks during the 21-22 NBA season and a $100,000,000 extension with the Nets to be unvaccinated.

That cements his holdout as the largest financial sacrifice any athlete has ever made over an issue in history.

Joe Rogan's wildlife biologist guest goes on a "f*cking tirade" about how the Gates Foundation "absolutely collapsed" one of Africa's most abundant fisheries that feeds millions of people, all in the name of "avoiding malaria."

The more he talks, the angrier he gets.

FORREST GALANTE: "Do you know what they did fucking in the Cahora Bassa Delta with their mosquito nets?"

ROGAN: "No. What'd they do?"

GALANTE: "Dude, I'm gonna go on a f*cking tirade here."

ROGAN: "Please do."

GALANTE: "Okay, so the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation decided that there was too much malaria in Africa, right? Which you and I could probably agree with. Malaria is bad. So what did they do? They gave all of these people living in tribal villages.

"I totally pirated your thing. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna go on a fucking rant here. They gave all these people living in the Cahora Bassa Delta, which is the breadbasket of the Zambezi Valley, meaning, like, where more fish are born. It's a nursery for fish. Right. Not just there, but this is a good micro example.

"They gave millions of mosquito nets out to all these people to 'avoid malaria.' Guess what the people who are starving to death did with their mosquito nets? They fished with them. They fished with them. Mosquito net has a hole that is so small that a mosquito can't get through. So guess what?

"These mosquito nets now indiscriminately catch tiny baby fish in areas like Cahora Bassa, where the fish go to breed and reproduce and populate. So now all of a sudden, you have thousands and thousands of people that have been handed nets that have been living one way for hundreds of thousands of years.

"They don't give a sh*t about malaria. They have their own way of dealing with malaria. They sit in smoky huts at night, they sleep with a campfire. Everything else, yes, they still get malaria, some of them, but they deal with it their own way. Bill Melinda Gates Foundation come in, hand out millions of mosquito nets, absolutely collapse the entire population of fish that feed millions of people.

"Because these people just take the nets and fish all the baby fish out so that those fish don't grow up to make substantial protein sources. So now these wonderful 'philanthropists' that have given out millions of nets, have destroyed an ecosystem, crashed a fish population and created widespread hunger for people that otherwise had plenty of resources, all because they were trying to 'help' with their mosquito nets."

ROGAN: "Oh, God."

GALANTE: "It's just like. It's a f*cking disaster, dude. They've taken such a rich and important part of Africa, one of the most abundant freshwater fisheries in the world, and destroyed it. Because they're 'helping' by handing out mosquito nets."

ROGAN: "Good God."

GALANTE: "Yeah, I know. Sorry. I told you I'd go on a rant, but it's like, it's so bad what's happened over there. And they're still giving out mosquito nets, by the way. And you literally watch these guys line up, take a mosquito net, and it never goes in their house. It goes straight to catching fish that are this big [tiny] for them to eat."

ROGAN: "Oh, God…"

The conversation is changing.

A few weeks ago, the push for permanent DST was almost entirely about “more evening daylight,” “ending clock changes,” and claims of economic or recreational benefits.

Now look at what’s happening.

The pro-DST lobby has become noticeably more defensive. Instead of simply promoting later sunsets, they’re spending much of their time trying to rebut concerns about late winter sunrises, circadian health, children’s safety, and even the failed 1974 experiment. That’s not an accident—it suggests these issues are finally breaking through.

Supporters are also ramping up their advocacy. They’re encouraging people to contact senators, amplifying the same talking points across social media, and trying to keep the momentum alive after the House vote.

But the Senate conversation is different.

Senators are no longer treating this as a simple “stop changing the clocks” bill. They’re asking harder questions about dark winter mornings, biological timing, school safety, and long-term health. That’s a very different debate than we were seeing just weeks ago.

When an advocacy campaign shifts from promoting its own message to defending against yours, it’s often a sign that your arguments are gaining traction.

Keep sharing the science. Keep contacting your senators. Keep correcting misinformation respectfully and with evidence.

The debate has changed—and that’s progress.

[Jedediah Bila @JedediahBila]

The Sunshine Protection Act is a health disaster. Reject it LOUDLY. Morning light is essential for metabolic, hormonal, and circadian health. It's extremely detrimental to do what they're doing. The clock should be locked year-round, but it should be locked TO THE SUN. Permanent Standard Time is the answer. Speak up.

[Jermaine Curtis @JermaineCurtis]

When I was younger, I watched a lot of my teammates sacrifice their dream of playing college baseball or professionally.

We all hung out.
We all practiced.
We all wanted to chase girls.

It was that age where our hormones started kicking in.

In fact, we would go to the mall...just to get phone numbers.

And, you would get clowned if you didn't get any numbers.

One day, one of my mentors, a shortstop at UC San Diego, from my hometown, pulled me aside and gave me advice I'll never forget.

He said:

"You'll have time for girls later.

Right now, your girlfriend should be the gym."

Then he smiled and said,

"Oh yeah... if you become a really good player, there will probably be plenty of girls chasing you later anyway." 😂

I listened.

He was 100% right.

Instead of chasing distractions...

I chased my dream.

Looking back, he wasn't telling me to avoid relationships.

He was teaching me about priorities.

That conversation stayed with me all the way to the major leagues.

Now let me pass that same advice down to you.

If you're a talented player, ask yourself one question before making a decision:

"Will this move me closer to my dream... or farther away from it?"

If the answer is farther away...

It's probably a distraction.

Because there's one thing I learned playing this game;

Protect your dream.

You'll have plenty of time for everything else.

Thank you for reading.

Unpopular opinion: I love Daylight Saving Time. But permanent Standard Time makes more sense than permanent DST. If we’re only choosing one, let’s choose the one that aligns with nature.

What do y’all think?

[Ian Miller @ianmSC]

Permanent Daylight Saving Time is an absolutely atrocious idea, so of course the Congress that can get nothing of importance done is all over it

I worked with a D1 player and a D3 player this morning.

On paper...

They looked almost identical.

6'4 200 pounds...

Both had elite bat speed. Both had power. Both were physically gifted.

But there was one difference.

Every time the D3 player mishit a ball...

He complained.
He got frustrated.
He pouted.

Then he'd struggle for the next 3 or 4 swings.

Pop-up.
Ground ball.
Weak contact.

The D1 player?

He'd mishit one.

Make an adjustment

...And move on.

No emotion.
No drama.
Just the next pitch.

It reminded me of something I learned playing professional baseball...

Sometimes the biggest difference between two players isn't their talent.

It's the conversation they're having with themselves in their head after they fail.

Your bat speed matters.
Your swing matters.

But the operating system between your ears matters just as much.

The best hitters I've been around don't waste energy explaining why they failed.

They spend their energy figuring out what to do on the next pitch.

- Jermaine Curtis

P.S. The next time you mishit a ball, don't ask, "What's wrong with me?"

Ask, "What's my adjustment?"

@EricLDaugh NO! Oppose “Sunshine Protection” (permanent DST). Its 9am sunrises cost lives and business when last tried. Support instead the new Sunshine for Our Kids Act, permanent Standard Time!

[Jillian Michaels @JillianMichaels]

Everything you’ve been taught about July 4th is a flat-out lie—and this explosive debate proves exactly why. When one creator tried to completely cancel America's 250th anniversary by exposing the brutal history of stolen land, this history buff stepped in with a savage reality check that completely flipped the script. He didn’t just defend the Declaration of Independence; he dropped a truth bomb about what indigenous tribes were actually doing to each other long before Columbus ever set foot on the continent. The final 10 seconds of his mic-drop response left everyone completely speechless, and you will never look at American history the same way again...

When I was 13 years old, I told my dad I wanted to become a Major League Baseball player.

He looked at me and said,

"You can... but we need a plan."

So we sat down and made one.

First, we created the big vision.

Play in the Major Leagues.

Then we worked backwards.

We made a one-year plan.

At the time, I wanted to make a better travel team and play in bigger tournaments.

Then we made a season plan.

Then a monthly plan.

Then a weekly plan.

Then a daily plan.

Some days it was:

- 50 swings to left-center.
- 50 swings up the middle.
- 50 swings to right-center.

Other days it was:

- Dry swings.
- Push-ups.
- Sit-ups.
- Sprints.
- Up-downs.

Every week, we'd sit back down together.

We'd look at the plan.

Keep what was working.

Change what wasn't.

We repeated that process for years.

Eventually...

I played in the Major Leagues.

Because here's one thing I learned from my dad:

Dreams don't become reality because you have a vision.

They become reality because you have a plan.

Most players have goals.

Very few have a system for reaching them.

In 2012, the FDA ordered a new warning onto every statin label in America. The subject: memory loss and confusion. Not a footnote, not a rare-events appendix. A mandated warning on the packet of the most prescribed drug on earth.

To understand why it takes something that serious to move a regulator, meet the man the medical world couldn't wave away.

Duane Graveline was a NASA astronaut. A flight surgeon, an aerospace research physician, one of six scientist-astronauts chosen for the Apollo era. A man whose entire career was built on a mind sharp enough to be trusted in orbit.

In 1999, at his annual astronaut physical, they put him on Lipitor for his cholesterol. Six weeks later he came back from his morning walk and did not know where he was. His wife stepped outside, and he greeted her as a stranger. Six hours of his life simply gone. The hospital called it transient global amnesia, and no one could tell him why.

He suspected the statin. His doctors assured him it was unrelated, and the following year talked him into going back on, at half the dose.

It happened again. This time worse. This time he lost years. For twelve hours he was a thirteen-year-old boy, a high schooler who knew his classmates and his homework but laughed in disbelief when they told him he was a married man with children and a medical degree. He could not have treated a mouse. He was, in his own mind, a child.

Then it lifted, and this time he was certain.

Here was a physician who could read the literature, an astronaut whose credibility could not be dismissed as hysteria or coincidence, and he spent the rest of his life documenting what the drug had done to him and to others. He wrote book after book, the first of them titled Lipitor, Thief of Memory. He built a resource read by sufferers all over the world.

His own profession mostly shrugged. Cognitive damage hadn't shown up neatly in the approval trials, so to many it simply wasn't real.

It took until 2012, years of accumulated reports later, for the regulator to concede in the smallest print it could manage that the memory loss was real enough to warn about.

Graveline was never the only one. The letters came in by the hundred, ordinary people whose fog and forgetfulness had been brushed aside the same way his was.

He was simply the one they couldn't call a crank. The astronaut. The one with the credentials that wouldn't burn.

[John A. Monaco @johnamonaco]

I think one of the main reasons why some Catholics are shocked by the SSPX excommunications is because in our current day, ecclesial punishment seems to go only one way. Yes, the consecrations against papal approval were a schismatic act, and the punishment is deserved.

But this upcoming Sunday, you could essentially attend a “Pride Mass” (like this one pictured below, from last Sunday) and not face any penalties. You can advocate for women’s ordination, publicly dissent from Catholic teaching on contraception (see Fordham University’s president), or be a pro-abortion politician (Biden)—and you remain in “full communion”.

I’ll leave it to the canon lawyers to figure out legal minutiae. But the fact is, on the ground, faithful Catholics see a ridiculous double standard. You can “bless” a same-sex partnership during Mass (pictured below, at London’s Holy Apostles Church), and remain a priest in good standing. You can doubt the existence of Satan (see the Superior General of the Jesuits), and publicly dissent against revealed truths, and still not be excommunicated.

This isn’t “whataboutism”. This is an attempt to examine the basic principles by which the Church condemns dissent and rebellion. If those principles aren’t applied evenly and consistently, don’t expect the Catholic faithful to trust the Church’s leadership on crime and punishment.

[Jermaine Curtis @JermaineCurtis]

One of the biggest mistakes I made as a hitter...

I thought hitting was all about my swing.

- If I struggled, I'd fix my swing.
- If I hit a ground ball, I'd fix my swing.
- If I popped the ball up, I'd fix my swing.

Then I got to professional baseball.

After being around Major League hitters, I realized something.

The best hitters weren't obsessed with their swing.

They were obsessed with their operating system.

- They knew what pitch they were hunting.
- They knew what pitches they could drive.
- They knew what type of contact they wanted.
- They had a plan before they ever stepped into the box.

That completely changed how I practiced.

I stopped studying my swing.

I started studying myself as a hitter.

I did this by...

Going to Walmart, bought a notebook, and started tracking everything.

- Every pitch I saw.
- Every swing I took.
- Every ball I hit.
- What I was thinking.
- What I was feeling.

At the end of each week, I'd go back through my notes and look for patterns.

Then I'd build a plan to improve my operating system.

I wasn't trying to build a better swing anymore.

I was trying to build a better hitter.

Because here's one thing I learned from being around Major League hitters:

The swing wasn't the starting point.

It was the result of everything that came before it.
