If the Jews could rig games the Knicks wouldn't have taken 53 years to win and the Mets wouldn't be in last place
The New York #Knicks star Jalen Brunson married a Jewish woman in 2023 and then 3 years later wins a rigged NBA championship. All sports are rigged and controlled by certain groups...

The NBA has had a Jewish commissioner since 1984, but yeah sure had to wait 3 years after a Knicks player married a Jewish woman instead 2026

You take away the Knicks’ biggest win in the playoffs ( 51 vs Hawks) and they’re STILL the best point differential in NBA playoff history.
Best point differential in NBA Playoff history: 2025-26 New York Knicks ( 283) 2016-17 Golden State Warriors ( 230) 2013-14 San Antonio Spurs ( 214) 2017-18 Golden State Warriors ( 210) 1986-87 Los Angeles Lakers ( 205)

Brunson is at 48.5% from field in 4th quarter/OT in playoffs as a Knick with a 61.5 true shooting %. Jordan was 47% from field and 56.1% true shooting percentage for comparison.
Replying to @JoshDubowAP
Show field goal percentages please. I’m not even arguing that Brunson isn’t a great clutch player. Just want more context. He shoots a shit ton. And yeah, I get that the Knicks need him to

The community note lol
While street thugs were destroying police cars, burning school buses, and smashing windows on businesses, the Communist mayor in charge of law and order in the City of New York was in the middle of the mob, acting like a college kid who had his first beer at a frat party!
Community note
The video does not show Mayor Mamdani, who was celebrating the Knicks win at a bar in Queens. sports.yahoo.com/articles/mayor…

Jalen Brunson is averaging 8.3 ppg in 4th quarter and OT in 61 playoff games since joining the Knicks. The only player to average more (10 playoff games) in last 30 years: Michael Jordan 9.3 Is that a cool enough stat for you?
Ah so this is a whopping 5 game sample size for Brunson and Iverson? Cool stat…

One day russian bots claim russia doesnt do carpet bombings and the next they post stuff like this
Zelensky’s worshippers think Ukraine is winning because they bombed an oil refinery in Russia. This is Volchansk, a city in the Kharkov region that was razed to the ground by Russian bombing. Russia can fix its own refineries. Can Ukraine fix this?

This entire charade is targeted at people who are too lazy to actually read the "leaked docs" which detail in big bold letters on literally the first page how this is a Russian disinfo campaign.
🧵 Here is the TRUTH: Dangerous gain-of-function research was funded by the U.S. government around the world, directed and approved by people like Dr Fauci. @DNIGabbard exposed that yesterday. Using U.S. government data, put together and uncovered by career subject matter experts in the Intelligence Community and other government agencies, yesterday’s release highlighted one example of the many overseas biolabs funded by the U.S., the research conducted there, and the significant risks they pose to the world, especially when located in a country at war.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 🔗 dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.…

Not news but it’s still impressive how many people (and bots and paid disinformationists) are invested in a bad-faith narrative that NYC, which is safer than at any point in my lifetime (and I’m very likely older than you) is dangerous, crumbling, and on the verge of social chaos

Just watch which politicians and influencers push the Ukrainian biolabs narrative, and there's your Russian shill. It's almost neat how all of them are blowing what little cover they had left by choosing to die on this particular hill.
There were secret biolabs in Ukraine (and elsewhere)… realclearpolitics.com/video/…

the championship doesn’t change that and who he is as a person.
At one point James Dolan was viewed as the worst owner in professional sports. Think about that.

U can drop 33 ppg in the finals including a 45 point closeout game against the only unanimous dpoy and his top tier defensive team to win the biggest city's first chip in 50 years and not be a superstar because reasons
Worst about a non superstar player wining a ring is the massive overreaction and putting them in conversations they don’t belong in

This is a good summary. The US and especially Trump for electoral reasons needs the war to stop. But Iran gained a lot from the conflict while the US achieved nothing. Trumps price was to stipulate an agreement to negotiate on nukes. But that’s what the US and Iran were doing before the war started. So the nuclear component certainly looks like a fig leaf to give Trump some plausible deniability about how badly this went for the United States. As Dan notes, the US has no real credible threat of force left, certainly not before midterms. This end game was basically inevitable from the first hours or days of the conflict. But we waited three plus months because Trump couldn’t face the reality of the scale of his defeat. And there’s still a good chance this falls apart because he still can’t come clean on that. Altogether, just a great job.
Until the text of the US-Iran deal is signed and released, there is going to be a lot of spin on both sides. But here is my initial take. This war was a mistake, and it needs to end. The President thought that the Iranian regime would collapse quickly, but it did not. In fact, it has been strengthened strategically by its survival against a heavy US-Israeli assault and carrying out some effective counterstrikes. Many countries in the region are now courting Iran and looking to deescalate and rebuild ties. A sign of which way the wind is blowing. Getting the Strait of Hormuz open is the most important outcome of this MOU. Of course, the Strait was open before the war. Now we are paying to reopen it with sanctions relief. Iran has taken a theoretical point of leverage and turned it into a very real and powerful one, imposing costs across the global economy and rattling President Trump. As for the nuclear issues, there really is no agreement, other than to negotiate over the HEU stockpile and an enrichment moratorium. Iran knows how to drag out those negotiations, and try to pocket concessions along the way. It is possible that no deal will every be reached, and very likely that if one is reached, it will be worse than what we could have achieved through diplomacy before the war. Iran is not likely to take seriously that the US would return to war, certainly before the US midterms. So that means we will be conducting diplomacy without a credible threat of force. If any agreement ultimately reached actually safely puts Iran's nuclear ambitions out of reach, I'll acknowledge it. It's just too early to make that judgment. Trump is mainly focused on comparing his deal favorably to the JCPOA. But we are a long way from being able to make that comparison, and it may end up no better, or weaker than that deal. But in some ways, Trump's deal and the JCPOA are already similar. Nothing on ballistic missiles, nothing on proxies, nothing on weakening the regime or helping the Iranian people. And plenty of sanctions relief that will strengthen the regime, and be poured into the missile program and proxy network. Honest critics of the JCPOA will not twist themselves into pretzels to defend Trump's approach. Israelis are deeply disappointed in this outcome, but they should not be surprised. After some initial overlap of Trump's and Netanyahu's interests, there was a strong divergence. The United States needed this war to end. Netanyahu wanted to continue. Trump's claim to include Lebanon in the ceasefire and his harsh shutting down Israeli attacks on Hezbollah is also a win for Iran. After the JCPOA was signed, Obama and Netanyahu worked together to strengthen Israel's campaign of strikes in Syria to intercept Iranian weapons shipments to Hezbollah in Lebanon. So let's hope we see the removal of Iran's enriched uranium and a long-term suspension of enrichment, with full verification. But to achieve those goals, Trump's team is going to need to engage in far more sophisticated diplomacy, backed by qualified experts, than they have to date. If it is a phase one splash with no follow-up on implementation of later phases, like in Gaza, we will be much worse off after, and because of, this war.

Guy who has spent literally the past 20 years complaining about the Iraq WMD claim every single day now boosting conspiracy fearmongering about Ukrainian biolabs to justify the Russian invasion.
With Tulsi Gabbard's new revelations about US bio labs in many countries around the world including Ukraine, it's fascinating recall the bizarre series of events that gave rise to this controversy in the first place: In May of 2022, some of us began asking whether the US had bio labs in Ukraine, what they were for, and why the US had them there. For asking those questions, we were instantly branded as "pro-Russian conspiracy theorists" in official Ukrainian intel reports, on our Wikipedia pages, by countless media outlets, etc. This was and remains one of the most bizarre episodes I've ever seen. Before May 2022, when we asked those questions, barely anyone had ever thought about let alone asked about "bio weapons in Ukraine"! I certainly hadn't. Like most people, I had never mentioned a word about it because it had never occurred to me we had them there. But then, Marco Rubio summoned Victoria Nuland to the Senate and asked her in a televised hearing under oath about these "rumors," clearly expecting her to immediately debunk them as obvious Kremlin lies and to proclaim the US had no such bio labs in Ukraine. Instead, Nuland did the opposite! She *confirmed* key aspects of these "rumors," and she explicitly warned that the US has several "bio research labs" in Ukraine that are so dangerous that they must not be allowed to fall into Russia's hands. When some of us heard Nuland's rather shocking admission -- the first-ever disclosure about these labs -- we of course asked: wait! what? Why does the US have bio labs in Ukraine, and what are the US and Ukraine doing in those labs that make them (in Nuland's eyes) so dangerous?? (Note: nobody ever suggested that the presence of these bio labs in Ukraine justified the Russian invasion; we just wanted answers about these US bio labs that Nuland had casually divulged). We never got real answers. We got smear campaigns. To this day, our names are formally attached to claims that we spread "conspiracy theories" for asking about these labs even though it was Victoria Nuland herself who was the one who accidentally revealed them for the first time in a Senate hearing in response to a shocked Marco Rubio. They then quickly tried shutting down any questioning by pretending that Nuland never said this, and it was just a bunch of paid Kremlin mouthpieces who were spreading lies. You see the same tactics now being against Tulsi for releasing this new intelligence report. Watch the Nuland testimony in question:

Saying Clinton has a “rancid legacy” is honestly a sign that the way we talk about presidential legacies has become too abstract and story based. The man oversaw one of the most prosperous periods of the post war era, through more than one bipartisan bill managed to bring the deficit down to 0, came closer than anyone else to Middle East peace, under his watch three countries joined NATO, was amazing on trade, and he greatly expanded the Dem coalition. That’s an objectively successful legacy no matter what “story” his personal flaws tell. Wish his wife won in 2016.

"Most athletes, when they tell you that no one believed in them, are lying. It is a lie more for themselves than anyone else. Michael Jordan was most famous for this. The beauty of Jalen Brunson is that this is not a lie. Brunson really has been doubted his entire career." nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…
