G.K. Chesterton, what a line

Brunson isn’t even top 10 at the moment. He might end up top 5, but we are talking about one of the greatest sports cities in the world. Yankees could have 5 of their own- also can’t forget Mike Tyson, Lunquist, Revis, Strahan, etc

The ultimate elitist flex: driving around with a multimillionaire auto collector in a classic Corvette, valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars, that gets 9 miles per gallon and emits more emissions than about two dozen modern cars ... bragging how he tried to kill the energy industry in America.

The worst visa fraud scheme of 2025 sounds made up. A ring staged at least 18 armed robberies of convenience stores, liquor stores, and fast-food spots across the country. On purpose. The point: let the clerk standing there file as a “victim of violent crime” and claim a U visa. Fake robberies. Real visas. The organizer just got prison and forfeited $850,000.

The Pritzker family “donated” to Jennifer Siebel’s “non-profit” and sold the $9 million house the Newsoms now live in.

SCOOP: California is pressuring public utilities to award $633 million in special contracts to "LGBT-owned" firms. To qualify, residents must go through the state's official gay-certification program—and face up to a year in jail if they're not gay enough. city-journal.org/article/cal…

HILLARY & CHELSEA: SOME MORE I hope y’all aren’t tired of me yelling about the Clintons, because I’m on a roll!🤣 In early January 1997, the Clintons and entourage (including me) were going to St. Thomas, the Virgin Islands, for a presidential vacation. (This is the infamous trip where Bill and Hill were filmed ‘dancing on the beach’). The trip had been planned for weeks and most of the logistics were set. But as soon as Air Force One touched down in St. Thomas, I knew something was amiss. Mrs. Clinton was very visibly upset. She went off on her immediate staff essentially screwing herself into the top of the aircraft. Loud, four-letter words were bouncing around the airplane like popcorn popping. I approached to get involved and help. Always a dicey proposition with Hillary. Into the breach I went once more. Unarmed and unafraid. 😎 The staff quickly learned that Chelsea, a senior in high school, had left her backpack full of text books in the hotel room in Hilton Head, South Carolina. The Clintons had been attending their annual Renaissance Weekend, a gathering of Democrat government, business, media, and academic leaders. But it wasn’t Chelsea’s fault, of course, because, according to Hillary, it was everybody’s fault EXCEPT for Chelsea. Hillary was specifically hell bent on blaming the president’s valets. Which was sad and unfair. The president is served by career Navy enlisted men as valets. These valets, Filipino by birth, have a long, proud tradition of serving the first family in the White House going back at least to 1909. In my experience, they were loyal, devoted, impeccable employees. They worked diligently to attend to every detail—no matter how small. But, right now, Hillary had them squarely in her gunsights. It seemed to me amazing that the idea of holding Chelsea responsible—Chelsea would soon be a freshman at Stanford—never crossed Hillary’s mind. Kelly Craighead, Hillary’s personal aide, asked me to find a way to get the books down to St. Thomas tout de suite. Chelsea had finals approaching and “needed to study.” We sprang into Hillary crisis mode. I called back to Hilton Head, catching my fellow military aide before she caught her return flight to D.C. She sounded the alarm, gathered remaining White House staffers, and scurried to find the backpack. Once the backpack was safely in hand, we dispatched one of the president’s valets via a commercial airliner to deliver the goods. He landed and brought them directly to the home the Clintons where staying in. The books were on Chelsea’s bedside table before she woke up. Just another day in the Clinton White House—the quick assignment of blame, and a relatively minor issue mushrooming quickly out of control. Just another day living with Hillary Clinton.

The Left is pushing for identification to use the internet while pushing for no identification to vote. Think about that.

Elon Musk has never hiked three feet behind me with a Bluetooth speaker clipped to his backpack

He literally started talking about Patrick Ewing post game because he wanted to change the search results when you googled him and Patrick Ewing… I thought the exchange was so weird when I saw it- no one was talking Brunson up as an all time Knicks great just an all time finals

Saying Michele Obama is a man is the equivalent of saying Trump is a pedophile. We will never get enough information to fully dismiss either so people will keep repeating them

David Friedberg: California’s Voting System Looks Fraudulent, But It’s Working Exactly as Designed @friedberg believes California’s extremely loose election laws enable “appointments” not free elections. Why? The voting data in LA makes no statistical sense. “ Pratt's post-election mail-in ballots declined by 1/3. So statistically, the population of people that send in their ballots late reduced for Pratt by 1/3, increased for Nithya Raman by 80%, and Karen Bass 10% less, if you just look at the mail-in ballots before and after election day as a comparison. I don't know if there's a sociopolitical way that you can assess those statistics and assume that these are individuals casting their individual vote for who they think should be Mayor of LA. Basically, the concentration of incremental votes that Nithya Raman got came around the Skid Row area in Los Angeles. But when you look at the basic statistics of what happened in person, mail-in before, mail-in after Election Day, it becomes a real statistical quagmire on how did this sort of a sociopolitical shift happen in such a way that it did? Now, there was a report published, and they highlighted the 2018 California midterm elections and the challenges that they saw arise in that midterm election because of some of the legislative changes that were made. First, California Assembly Bill 1921 legalized the practice of unlimited ballot harvesting in the state. What that means is that any individual in the state of California has the right to go and collect ballots from any other individuals, regardless of relationship, fill them out, and send them in. California, two years later, 18 months later, also passed a law that made it permanent that every person registered in the state of California would get a ballot, so tens of millions of ballots then get mailed out. Then there was another series of laws that were passed that said anyone can register to vote. You don't need to prove your citizenship. You can use a gym membership card as an example. So anyone can register to vote. There is no proof of ID when you get a ballot. There is no demonstration that the person who fills out the ballot has anything to do with the individual who's supposed to be voting that ballot, and it is legal for an individual to go out and collect hundreds or thousands of ballots, ship them in, and they will all qualify in these kind of mail-in ballot voting processes. So there's nothing illegal or fraudulent going on. In fact, the system is operating exactly as intended. It has been set up and structured in a way that with the right construct, you can get an individual appointed, not elected, but appointed to a particular role in government under a, quote, ‘free election’ in California.”
