Strong Tom Izzo comments, which reflect recent controversies with MSU’s Board of Trustees. “I can’t stand what’s going on. I’ve had it…… We’ve just lost the best president that may have ever been here, one of the best….I’m very upset about it. I’m sick of it….. What happened with our president…was ridiculous…… I’m ashamed, I’m disgusted. Hurt.”

In case you thought this was just another flag. Happy Flag Day 🇺🇸

On this day in 1777, the United States chose its flag in one sentence, and the men who voted on it had no idea what they had just done. The timing could not have been worse. The country was barely a year removed from declaring independence and it was losing. The British had taken New York. Washington's army was battered and short on everything. Congress was drowning in crises: no money, restless officers, a war that might collapse at any moment. Survival, not symbolism, was the daily business. Yet on June 14, 1777, in the middle of all that, the Marine Committee tucked a brief resolution into the day's work. The full text was almost absurdly simple. "Resolved, that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." That was the entire thing. No record of debate. No designer credited. The popular story that Betsy Ross sewed the first one is a charming legend that appeared a full century later, told by her grandson, with no solid evidence behind it. The resolution did not even specify how the stars should be arranged, which is why early American flags came in wild variety, stars in circles, rows, and scattered patterns, each maker improvising. These exhausted men, fighting for their lives, voting between a dozen other emergencies, accidentally created one of the most recognized symbols on the planet. That flag would go on to survive a civil war, fly through two world wars, get planted on the summit of Mount Everest, and be driven into the gray dust of the moon, where it still stands today. 249 years ago it was a single afterthought in the minutes of a desperate Congress. That sentence is why we celebrate Flag Day. Happy Flag Day.

🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day Find someone who loves you like Rick Monday loves his flag. On April 25, 1976, while playing outfield for the Chicago Cubs as a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve veteran, Rick Monday saw two protesters soak the American flag in lighter fluid, ready to burn it. He didn’t hesitate. He sprinted in, grabbed the flag, and carried it to safety. One of the most American moments in baseball history. Thank you, Rick Monday, for honoring our flag. 🫡🇺🇸

Charles Barkley says a $300,000 Bentley car costs you way more than you think "When I first got my money, I was an idi*t, I had like three or four cars. Dr. J asked me how many of those cars you got, you drive at the same time? I said, one. He said, well, why you got four?" "This money's got to last you the rest of your life, don't waste all your money on cars, everybody know who you are, you pull up in a Kia, or a Mercedes-Benz or a Rolls-Royce, that's Charles Barkley" "The problem isn't that you can't afford the car, it's that that $300,000 you spent on that Bentley, if you'd bought a cheaper car, you'd have had $200,000 more in the bank, and it would've been growing and growing" "One year, three years, five years, twenty years… that $200,000 is gonna be worth a lot more"

A HUGE THANK YOU to @DailyCaller for helping me put a spotlight on Gov. Pritzker's epic failure to keep the Chicago Bears in Illinois. The billions in taxpayer dollars he said were needed would have been there had he not spent them on illegal aliens. The Governor didn't handle my questions well—not at all. #thatreporter

I keep seeing people say the Bears to Hammond deal is “dead” because no construction permits have been filed yet. Honestly? That’s amateur hour. Expecting permit filings right now is like asking for house blueprints before you’ve even picked the lot. We’re in the due diligence phase that’s the soil testing, the traffic studies, and the environmental checks. You don’t drop millions on land and pull permits until you’re 100% sure the dirt is actually buildable. Here’s the reality the "anti-Indiana" crowd is missing Everyone is looking for a permit as proof of progress but the real progress was the legislative framework. Indiana passed the laws created the Stadium Authority and locked in the financial backing months ago. Illinois spent years "exploring" and debating, but never actually gave the team the legislative "green light" they needed to get to work. Indiana isn't "pouring concrete" yet but they’ve already cleared the path. Illinois is still stuck in the debate stage. That’s the difference.
