Today at a special event at Allegiant Stadium, #Raiders owner Mark Davis announced the Raiders’ largest philanthropic commitment to date — $25M to Intermountain Health to help build Nevada's first stand-alone children's hospital.
The gift was led by Davis and Raiders owners Egon Durban and Michael Meldman, each of whom contributed $5M toward the development, with the team contributing $10M.
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.

A 14-year-old boy was riding his bike in Arizona when he noticed a woman wandering alone in the heat, clearly disoriented. He realized she needed help, called her family, and first responders showed up in time to save her life. Huge W
This is the UN.
Look at the face of the UN special rapporteur who is meant to stand up for women but has refused, again and again, to speak up for Israeli women.
Look at her face when a former hostage challenges her.
Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own
NEW: The F-14 Tomcat may fly again over the United States for the first time in nearly 20 years.
The Senate has unanimously passed the "Maverick Act," which would transfer 3 retired F-14Ds from an Arizona boneyard to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center museum in Huntsville, Alabama.
The Navy would reportedly supply enough spare parts to get one of them airborne again.
The bill was introduced by former Navy SEAL Sen. Tim Sheehy, and is being championed by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.
It now heads to the House for final passage, possibly in time for America’s 250th birthday. The last Navy F-14 was retired in September 2006.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Nick Shirley FOLLOWED the California Speaker of the House and a Senator for pushing the Stop Nick Shirley Act, which CRIMINALIZES anti-fraud journalism
They were stumbling, panicked, REFUSING to acknowledge that levying up to $50K fines for journalism is TYRANNY
SHIRLEY: "Speaker Rivas...AB 2624? Is there a conflict of interest with Mia Bonta, and her husband being the ATTORNEY GENERAL?"
RIVAS: "I don't know." *Runs into car* 🤯
SHIRLEY: "These people won't even answer the questions."
A woman was legally required to kill her baby in the third trimester because the “commissioning parents” for the surrogacy demanded it, and threatened a lawsuit.
The baby was missing two fingers, so the people purchasing this precious child demanded it be aborted, per their contract.
This is eugenics. It’s murder. It’s a baby trade, and it needs to be criminalized.
