There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

The question tomorrow night at #PennState isn't "if" but rather "how" the #Trojans and #NittanyLions will continue to befuddle and irritate their respective fanbases. My preview is on USCFootball.com. 247sports.com/college/usc/...

Saturday evening's #USC vs. #Oregon tilt at the Coliseum promises to set at least one storyline for the rest of this season's #BigTen race. Can the Trojans rewrite their recent script against the Ducks? My preview is here:

Oregon's spent the past two decades flipping the script on a near-century of Trojan domination. Saturday provides USC with a chance to start its own rewrite.

By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.

The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.

The president is a liar. He lies constantly & without hesitation. His lies about American elections are among his most dangerous b/c they are meant to convince a susceptible public that democratic outcomes cannot be trusted. They are antidemocratic lies in service of holding onto power. He’s a liar!

Lol, all credit to the Knicks - incredible guts - but good lord, what an abominable half of basketball by the Spurs. They made every bad decision, took every bad shot, and made every conceivable mistake it would take to blow a 27-point halftime lead. And they did it in 23 minutes and 59 seconds.

it is very simple folks. "unqualified DEI hire" is when you're not a white male, "merit-based promotion" is when you are a white male and also pete hegseth's personal assistant. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...
“We don’t talk about that out of respect for those officers,” he said. Instead, he spoke broadly of the need to correct for years of “gender and demographic engineering” that he asserted had blunted the effectiveness of U.S. troops on the battlefield.

In a break with protocol, Mr. Hegseth also urged senior Navy officials to include Capt. William Francis Jr., a Navy SEAL who serves as Mr. Hegseth’s special assistant, on the one-star list, current and former Navy officials said. Captain Francis’ lack of command experience made him ineligible for promotion under the board’s rules and he was not selected, officials said.
