LeBron on Ring Culture: "I don't know why it's discussed so much in our sport and why it's the end-all, be-all of everything. You tell me Iverson, Barkley, Nash weren't f**** unbelievable? They can't be talked about with these guys because they won rings? It's like saying Peyton Manning can't be in the same room as Brady or Mahomes because he only has 1 ring. Or telling me Dan Marino isn't the greatest slinger of all time. Barry Bonds never won a World Series, and you can't sit here and tell me that he's not the greatest baseball player to ever touch a bat. Jerry West went to the NBA Finals 9 straight times and was only able to win 1. And he's the logo of the league. He can't sit here and tell me because he won one that he can't be in the same room with the guy who won 2 or 3 or 4. Why not? He's our logo!" Via Mind the Game

Lara Logan just broke down a pattern that hits different once you see it. They keep creating problems that can never actually be solved: racism that’s “unconscious,” masculinity as inherently toxic, CO2 as the enemy even though we breathe it out, and differences turned into permanent grievances. The goal? Issues without end. Skin color can’t change. Breathing can’t stop. Masculine instinct doesn’t vanish. So the problems stay… and so does the control. It’s not about fixing anything. It’s about keeping the fight alive so we stay divided and easier to manage. Once you spot the tactic, everything gets clearer. What “unsolvable problem” have you noticed getting pushed the hardest lately?

Joe Rogan watches in disbelief as a video reveals America’s “nonprofit” hospitals actually rake in $45,000,000,000 in profit every year. ROGAN: “Motherf*ckers.” One CEO at NYU Langone paid himself $15,300,000 a year. Other CEOs paid themselves $4,500,000 while nurses made about $70,000 a year. P. DAVIS JONES: “A congressman recently described some nonprofit hospitals as ‘hedge funds with hospital beds,’ and I was like, ‘I bet they are.’” “The total revenues of nonprofit hospitals in America in 2023 was $1.3 trillion. Nonprofit hospitals were making $45 billion worth of profit.” “A study that looked at almost 1,500 nonprofit hospitals found that 86% of them provided LITTLE TO NO charity.” “It goes to executives, these CEOs getting paid about $4.5 million a year. Meanwhile, their nurses make about 70K.” “Here’s a guy, Robert [Grossman], at a hospital in New York who paid himself $15.3 million a year. Nonprofit hospital.”

Hey @grok, why don't schools teach that only 1.3% of Americans owned slaves at the peak of slavery, only 4% of transatlantic slavery made it to the USA, 100% of African slaves were enslaved by Africans and over 1 million White Europeans were enslaved in Africa and the Middle East.

New UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje dropped a legendary line after his HISTORIC upset over Illia Topuria. Joe Rogan pointed out that he was a 6-1 underdog going into the fight. GAETHJE: “Hey, I’m from America. 250 years ago we were WAY bigger than 6-1 dogs!” “And look at us thriving now!” “To all the current, former, and future military service members, thank you so much.” “Thank you so much to all of the first responders, police officers, firefighters...you guys have no idea how grateful I am...” “And all glory to God. I prayed so much for this opportunity, to do something legendary.” “And I know that was absolutely legendary because I cannot even believe it.”

Here’s a look inside the missionary assignment room. This is where my fellow apostles and I come frequently to assign the thousands of missionaries that are applying to serve missions all over the world. This process is inspired, revelatory, and I love it with all my heart.

10 years ago today, LeBron and Kyrie put together a Finals performance for the ages. 🔥 No duo had ever come back from a 3-1 Finals deficit before. No teammates had ever scored 40 points each in the same Finals game.

The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward. I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress. When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment. Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks. They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around. Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits? The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.
