Alex Eala was asked about being scheduled to play on a bigger court than Grand Slam Champions at the U.S. Open

“They’re saying Grand Slam Champions are playing outside… they’re implying sort of that the U.S. Open is giving you a special treatment…”

Alex: “I’m grateful to be on Armstrong and to play on such an incredible court. But yeah, I don’t control the scheduling. My job is to be prepared for whatever court they put me in and whoever I’m against.”

🚨SEE YOU IN COURT!!!

Just filed a federal complaint.

I’m taking legal action over my ejection from the @chicagosky game while peacefully exercising my First Amendment rights.

My T-shirt did what the whole @WNBA apparently couldn’t: define a woman.

No threats. No violence. Just biology.

And somehow, that required a security escort.

You don’t have to agree with my speech but you don’t get to silence me for it.

I will not be intimidated.
I will not be silenced.

I will continue to stand for women and defend free speech.

PATHETIC. Imagine someone ‘quacking’ on FB live with accusations of politically motivated demolition job, fake news and trial by publicity and at the same time ‘quaking in his boots’ every time each piece of evidence of corruption in his turf unfolds before his eyes.

[PING LACSON @iampinglacson]

For several days, I was trying to find an adjective to describe a colleague. A few minutes ago, somebody shared the word: PECKSNIFFIAN - smugly moralistic; someone who makes a show of being virtuous and holy while actually being pharisaical, self-serving, or sanctimonious.

🚨 BOOM! Stephen Miller just TORCHED CNN live 🔥
CNN: “This is an undocumented migrant…”
Miller: “Were they here ILLEGALLY?”
CNN: “I want this to be a good faith discussion…”
Miller: “When you use language designed to obscure the truth, that’s NOT good faith. An ILLEGAL ALIEN is an ILLEGAL ALIEN. They’re not an ‘undocumented migrant.’
Why is this so damn hard for the media to understand?
Call them what they are — ILLEGAL ALIENS — or stop pretending it’s a “good faith” conversation!
America is DONE with the word games.

🚨🇺🇸 CAR@LHO, QUE LAPADA! 🔥🔥🔥

CNN: “Este é um imigrante sem documentos...”

Miller: “Eles estavam aqui ILEGALMENTE?”

CNN: “Quero que esta seja uma discussão de boa-fé...”

Miller: “Quando você usa uma linguagem feita para ocultar a verdade, isso NÃO é boa-fé. Um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL é um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL. Eles não são ‘imigrantes sem documentos’.”

CNN: “Stephen, estamos tentando humanizar o debate...”

Miller: “Humanizar? Então vamos humanizar o Código Penal também. O assaltante de banco passa a ser ‘especialista em retirada sem agendamento prévio’. O estelionatário vira ‘empreendedor de narrativas financeiras alternativas’. O cara que entra na sua casa sem convite é só um ‘visitante com documentação pendente’. Que tal?”

CNN: “Isso é uma analogia grosseira.”

Miller: “Grosseira é fingir que a lei federal some porque a redação da CNN inventou um eufemismo mais fofo. ‘Sem documentos’ soa como alguém que esqueceu a carteira no Uber. Não. É alguém que cruzou a fronteira sem autorização, ficou, e agora a imprensa trata o estatuto jurídico como se fosse uma questão de estilo de escrita.”

CNN: “Mas muitos contribuem para a economia...”

Miller: “Ah, o argumento clássico: o crime deixa de ser crime se a pessoa lava prato ou constrói telhado. Pelo mesmo critério, o contrabandista de cigarro também ‘contribui’, gera emprego no transporte. Quer que a gente chame ele de ‘empreendedor logístico informal’? A CNN topa?”

CNN: “Você está polarizando.”

Miller: “Não. Eu estou recusando o dicionário de marketing. Vocês mudam a palavra, depois acusam quem usa o termo legal de ser ‘desumano’. É o truque mais velho do livro: primeiro suaviza o vocabulário, depois declara vitória moral. Os Estados Unidos já cansaram desse teatro. Chamem o que é. Ou admitam que o objetivo nunca foi clareza — foi controle da narrativa.”

hello

[Paul @PaulDHar_]

For anyone who waiting for the update, we've met and cancel the trade, there are some confrontation, I asked for an apology, no apology was given. Just come to take the card and went home

Btw, the card are originial in Indonesian language, and thanks for the people who defend me

[GEORGE LUCAS JR. @VitoComedy]

Now, the supposed vendor is basically saying "Hey man, your kid came to my booth. I told him the prices of my cards and THE KID PROPOSED THE TRADE."

So what made this trade "fradulent"? What happened to the claim of "fake cards"?

[PING LACSON @iampinglacson]

WASTED PUBLIC FUNDS DUE TO MISUSE:

Based on official records and our investigation, the total cost of identified completed, ongoing (and suspended) DPWH Flood Control and Multi-Purpose Projects along the ‘Illegal’ Laguna Lakeshore Reclamation Areas in Taguig City has so far reached ₱3.713 billion.

These do not include other anomalous Slope Protection and Flood Mitigation projects along Taguig river involving double appropriations and “ghost” projects using recycled photographs in different “completed” projects, for billing purposes.

Everything goes to the Ombudsman fact finding team for proper disposition.

A WALK-OFF BUNT FOR JAPAN TO COME BACK AND WIN IT 🇯🇵🔥

Japan takes third-place at the Little League World Series! 🥉

Look at what this win means to Japan after a walk-off bunt 🥺🇯🇵

[Eric Bahn 💛 @ericbahn]

@JusKilln @Pokemon Exactly this one.

[Eric Bahn 💛 @ericbahn]

Oof. My son got scammed big time in a trade at @Pokemon XP. Lost his most valuable cards in a fraudulent trade by some guy in a booth.

Very tough lesson for him. Sucks to see an adult take advantage of a child. 💔

An Italian TV show sent a presenter to give the Princess of Wales a bunch of sunflowers 🌻—the reaction when he successfully handed them to Catherine was funny and sweet. 🇮🇹♥️

Tennis phenom Alex Eala is already one of the most famous figures in her home country. But the U.S. Open provides a stage where a national hero can become an international superstar—and be served supersized paydays.

Hey @SecScottBessent
As you are about to go after Soros, a kind reminder of Prince Harry's Archewell public charity Tax ID 85-2213963 is part of the network funding and supporting the subversion of the US.
Soros & Archewell are linked to these groups:
Parents Together
Mom's Rising
Color Of Change
Center for Countering Digital Hate

The online abuse, intimidation, and censorship by Prince Harry's ANTIFA tied Sussex Squad, is funded through this dark money network.

[DAVAOMIGRANT @nabunturanguy]

Maganda ang mga tanong ni Atty Divinagracia. ( 1) Sinasabi ni Ortonio na wala siyang alam sa pagpaplano and implementation of programs related to confidential funds, kahit na nga ba siya ay Assistant Secretary, Asst Chief of Staff and in-charge of administrative, operational and financial matters. (2) Sinabi rin ni Zuleyka Lopez na kahit na siya ay Undersecretary sa OVP, wala rin siyang alam sa confidential funds activities. (3) So, 3 silang highest officials sa OVP - Sara Duterte, Zuleyka Lopez & Ortonio, and yung 2 WALANG ALAM. So, it goes to show that ONLY SARA DUTERTE KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE SPENDING OF CONFIDENTIAL FUNDS?

[PING LACSON @iampinglacson]

TAGUIG UPDATE: Several crates of DPWH documents, all relating to our Taguig City case studies are Ombudsman-bound. Meantime, the Land Registration Authority is poring over the materials from the PRA to check if land titles have been issued over reclaimed portions of Laguna Lake.
