Craziest finish to a horse race I have ever seen.

[Riggs @RiggsBarstool]

Winning from here is unbelievable.

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@ThePatriotOasis Maybe I can start watching again. However they will have to prove they are not a hatchet job show over time before that happens.

[Mark Doan @medoan]

Tomi I. has hurt. Have to rebound and should block some shots. He is 7-2. That being said, free throws and not being able to stop the two guards.

@MiaMorello4 Mia: Mark Doan here (Effingham, IL). Saw you on the news (sports) and wondered if you were related to Jeff. Your father did his student teaching under me at Oakland HS.
Good luck this indoor and outdoor season. Tell you dad hello. ILL

I am so glad no one gives a shit what this dope says anymore

[Guy Benson @guypbenson]

I’d like to ask my non-conservative followers to pay attention here for a moment. I don’t need a response or a rebuttal or a ‘whatabout.’ Just read on and consider what I’m saying. Please.

We are only a few weeks removed from a leading conservative figure being shot in the throat and killed by a leftist, for and during his speech, at a public speaking event. Stunning, jarring numbers of leftist Americans justified or celebrated this assassination, aligning with multiple public polls showing that a sizable minority of leftists in this country think political violence can be acceptable.

Today — just today — many conservatives are thinking about:

(1) a major leftist statewide candidate being exposed for sending texts to a political opponent (R) explicitly hoping for the death of another conservative political opponent…along with the deaths of that opponents’ young children. He WROTE DOWN that the pain of those deaths might promote his own agenda, which would be worth it, in his estimation. This candidate is now condemning his current conservative opponent for noticing this information.

And also (2) a development in the case of a leftist would-be assassin of a conservative Supreme Court Justice, who traveled across the country, heavily armed, with the stated intent of murdering up to three right-leaning Justices because he was angry about their abortion jurisprudence. The leftist judge in the case rejected prosecutors’ request for a multi-decade sentence, giving the defense team the very lenient sentence they’d sought. The leftist judge, in her reasoning, cited the criminal’s trans identity as a factor & expressed happiness that the assassination plot and its aftermath helped with the criminal’s family therapy around the trans issue.

And also (3) yet another violent leftist attack — this time an apparent ambush — against federal immigration officers. This did not take place in Dallas, where a leftist sniper very recently went on a deadly spree while trying to murder as many ICE officers as possible. This one happened in Illinois, where the leftist governor just called these officers “jack booted thugs.” Violent attacks on these federal agents (thugs, fascists, gestapo, per various leading leftist politicians) are up approximately *one thousand percent,* per DHS.

And also (4) a prominent university being pressured into reversing its attempt to shut down a conservative event commemorating the second anniversary of the Oct 7 terrorist massacre of Jews — because, the school said, they were worried about the security situation around the event. They were referring, of course, to the violent Islamist-Leftist coalition pro-Hamas mob, which has engaged in harassment, threats, violence and murder ever since that mass slaughter.

AND YET, we see many of our leftist friends tweeting and posting about how *their opponents* are the “dangerous” and “authoritarian” “fascists.”

I ask you to try to contemplate, even for a quiet moment or two, how this might strike many of us.

That’s all for now. Thank you.

Cardinals better release or trade both Gorman and Nootbar in the off season. They are strike-out machines with runners in scoring positions. Tired of it!

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@coffee_anytime Term limits

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@RepRaskin You sir, are classless and this is below you. Nothing but trolling.

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@WHLeavitt Yes

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@JohnHough__ @JWerner247 Eastern European vibe. Guess they won’t be run and gun.

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@RefObserver17 Cannot how refs let the game get away from them. Strong fouls immediately in front of them and no call. Luckily someone was not hurt. Was not a final four level officiated game.

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@ELonMuskNewssX Keep moving forward!

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@coffee_anytime Need term limits. Please

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@GorevilleCUSD1 @sdwebb12 Good man and will do a wonderful job at Goreville.

[Mark Doan @medoan]

Did not know this!

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@IlliniMBB @DravynGibbs @BigTenNetwork Immediately prior to steal he let his guy penetrate and dish out for a wide open three attempt. Then did not box out and his guy got the rebound on the miss. After that he stole the ball. Needs to not allow the first two issues as well as steal and dunk. Just saying.

[Mark Doan @medoan]

@MySportsUpdate @AdamSchefter @WISHNews8 You have got to be kidding me. Cannot build a team around this guy. Move on from him.
