🚨 It has been reported that a staggering 125 decibels were recorded during the singing of Flower of Scotland before Scotland's World Cup clash with Haiti.
If confirmed, it would be the loudest noise level ever recorded at a World Cup match. 🔥👏🏴�
Funny what happens when you add accountability and feedback loops to a system that historically had little of either.
A precise pitch tracking system used to train and grade umps was introduced in 2015. In '25, auto umps became inevitable. On-field player appeals started '26.
Yon don’t need more information. You know what to do.
You’re just afraid you’re not good enough.
And so you delay. You avoid. You distract. Which only proves your fear right.
Fear hates action.
Live in truth.
Do the work.
Mark Kelly is spouting teachers’ union propaganda—and calling it fact.
The actual facts about Arizona's ESA program tell a very different story. 👇
Fact: Public school funding in Arizona has increased since ESA expansion, and inflation-adjusted funding per student is higher today than before the expansion.
Fact: ESA families come from across the income spectrum, and taxpayers already fund public education for high-income families without income limits.
Fact: The average ESA award is about $7,400 per student, while average district school spending in Arizona is about $16,000 per student. That means pulling kids out of the ESA program and sending them back to the district system would cost taxpayers nearly double!
Fact: Mark Kelly knows more than 100,000 families are already using it to build a better future for their kids. And still, he’s working to kill it. Not because it failed. Not because families rejected it. But because the "wrong" people benefited: parents instead of the political machine.
This is not representation.
It's betrayal.
There’s a reason this hymn stills the room. Its power lies in the fact that it wasn’t born of comfort, but of unimaginable grief.
In 1873, after losing his young son and his fortune, Horatio Spafford sent his wife and four daughters ahead to Europe. Their ship sank, and only his wife survived.
As Horatio later sailed to reach her, the captain paused the vessel over the spot where his daughters were lost. It was there, amid the waves of his own heartbreak, that he penned the words: “It is well with my soul.”
This timeless declaration of faith is brought to life here by the Zero 8 Chorus. It reminds us that peace isn’t the absence of pain, but a strength that carries us through it.
What’s Lovely & Commendable
“Dwell on what is lovely… commendable.” — Phil. 4:8
Your thoughts are your fuel.
They either feed fear or build faith.

From earlier this morning, Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine’s update on the two airmen rescued in Iran...
“We’ve had — the Secretary and I have had the profound honor of speaking directly with many of the warfighters on that mission, from the downed crew that that were picked up to those forces that went and got them. Hearing these stories firsthand has only deepened our appreciation for their tenacity, creativity, courage, and grit of the American Joint Force. This is a story that gets to the very heart and soul of who we are as a joint force, who we are as Americans. Selfless sacrifice in service of others. From the back seater, Dude 44 Bravo, whose pure and unadulterated joy at seeing those helicopters come into the valley to get his front seater in daylight because he knew the front seater did not have a jacket and was so filled with heart leaping joy at his front seater, getting picked up to the nighttime folks that went in and then got him to the tanker forces that did the things that they had to do to give their own gas away to the support packages, to those that went into the desert landing site not once, not twice, but three times as we fought through multiple contingencies. This was and is a joint force that has the guts to try, that does not quit, and who each and every day does the things that we must to dare to win. No lives were lost. We succeeded because the Joint Force is always at the ready. They trust each other, they trust their leaders and they trust their training. And they remember first and foremost and always, that we do these things so that others may live. And we will never leave anyone behind.”

@barryisthedon March upsets are pretty much expected at this point. Different players, same result..In last 8 NCAA's, failed to qualify 2 times, upset by lower seed 5 times. 5 times out of 6 tournaments!
Another bad loss for #Badger fans. Love that #Wisconsin has transformed offensive philosophy, but March still disappoints: 2018 DNQ, '19 5 seed lose to 12, '21 9 seed lose to (1 Baylor), '22 3 seed lose to 11, '23 DNQ, '24 5 seed lose to 12, '25 3 seed lose to 6, '26 5 lose to 12
