LIV Golf Facing Imminent Closure as Saudi Backers Weigh Pulling Funding Saudi Arabia’s sovereign-wealth fund is on the verge of pulling funding for the upstart league that lured star golfers away from the PGA Tour and divided the sport.

They shouldn’t be allowed back in the PGA.

Damn. Two issues with swimming. L front shoulder pain caused by my arm floating away from my body. And, a bone spur on my R big toe is painful from pushing off the wall and rowing. Need to add some physio to my days.

Unless you’re a muscular Christian. ⚔️

Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself “secretary of war,” read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship ser...

At Pentagon worship service today, Pete Hegseth again read a violent prayer to bless the Iran war. But this time his prayer was apparently borrowed from 'Pulp Fiction.' I promise I'm not writing for @theonion.com now:

Seriously, why in the fuck am I working on my taxes today? Fuck all of these people. They're all criminals.

Reddit summoned to secret grand jury, ordered to unmask anonymous user critical of ICE A Washington grand jury has ordered Reddit to help identify an anonymous user critical of Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policy, marking a major escalation in efforts to unmask online critics.

The Trump administration has escalated a federal case to identify an anonymous social media poster, ordering Reddit to appear before a grand jury in Washington, DC, after earlier attempts to obtain the user’s identity were blocked in court.

It should be hung in a place of honor.

“Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: ‘I don’t want…Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.’” @propublica.org 10/17/25… 1/ www.propublica.org/article/russ...

Yesterday I had an ice cream cone. 🍦 That’s all.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

This is where we are...and we would do well to understand the implications of what Trump is doing...and where it may lead.

FRANKLIN, TN — Pastor Kevin Riggs: “I used to be in the inner circle of the evangelical church in Franklin… the only thing worse than authoritarianism/dictatorship is theocracy. We must push back against Christian Nationalism, rebuild and defend the wall separating church & state.”

I recommend Charles Lane’s The Day Freedom Died for a view of how much American history pivots around the Colfax Massacre.

I have an old friend from the Army. Retired. From NJ. He absolutely loves Bruce. But he’s gone hard Catholic and hard MAGA. I wonder if he even listens to Bruce’s new stuff or just pretends he stopped around 1985?

All of what is being described below will have to be deemed illegal & dismantled. Otherwise, Orban will simply be able to subvert & undermine Magyar's government. Which is what Trump & his trusted aides, surrogates, & fellow travelers did to the US during the Biden interregnum.

Hungary’s PM Viktor Orbán concedes defeat after 'painful' election Final results won’t be known for several hours yet and with voter turnout at a record 77.8%, the highest ever recorded in a Hungarian election, there are plenty of ballot papers to count.

Quite literally the plan, at least how I see it. If they can trash the parks, they can make an argument for privatization and selling them off.

I spent years wandering the wilderness with camera… not because trees are my favorite subject… but because I wanted people to see the world I care about.

As we await the Hungarian election results, it’s worth remembering that Orban first rode to power using the same antisemitic Soros conspiracy theories that fuel MAGA. The US consultant who gave him the idea (Finkelstein) got his start selling Goldwater and then Reagan in the US.

The Offer Viktor Orbán Couldn't Refuse. (Or Didn't.) Who knew that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was on the take from the same Russian mobsters who were laundering millions through Donald Trump's real estate?

The Offer Viktor Orbán Couldn't Refuse

When Hungarians vote today, they should know that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was on the take from the same Russian mobsters who laundered millions through Donald Trump's real estate.

The lie that the talks broke down about nukes…the one area in which Iran’s position not to have nukes was actually the position we sought…is to hide that the real issues had to do with Israel in Lebanon and Trump’s desire to get a piece of the strait action and/or the incompetence of our negotiators
