Actual image posted on social media by the Department of Labor.

By the way, it's 11 stars.

There were 11 states in the Confederacy. 13 original colonies.

Globalism = wolf whistle for anti-Semitism

Just lovely.

Even though they got the quote wrong, Thank You, GQ, for going there (and I doubt it made it in without Fritz's okay but I could be wrong).

Inside the Modern Courtship of Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle | GQ share.google/9bP1hUrtcARQ...
Paragraph from GQ article about Morgan Riddle and Taylor Fritz discussing her IG post cheering on Fritz to beat Alexander Zverev in a match "for the ladies" (GQ has the quote as "cheer loud ladies").

I can't get out of my head that the White House, in Thursday's Presidential Memorandum, says that anti-Christianity, among other things, is a marker for "antifa" and domestic terrorism.

Will anyone not Christian (like Jews, Muslims, etc) be branded a terrorist?
There are common recurrent motivations and indicia uniting this pattern of violent and terroristic activities under the umbrella of self-described “anti-fascism.” These movements portray foundational American principles (e.g., support for law enforcement and border control) as “fascist” to justify and encourage acts of violent revolution. This “anti-fascist” lie has become the organizing rallying cry used by domestic terrorists to wage a violent assault against democratic institutions, constitutional rights, and fundamental American liberties. Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality. As described in the Order of September 22, 2025 (Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization), the groups and entities that perpetuate this extremism have created a movement that embraces and elevates violence to achieve policy outcomes, including justifying additional assassinations. For example, Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin engraved the bullets used in the murder with so-called “anti-fascist” rhetoric.

Have I mentioned before that I like how Morgan Riddle, also known as Taylor Fritz's girlfriend, is unabashedly political?
Screenshot from Morgan Riddle's IG Stories of her responding to critiques from followers asking her to refrain from posting anti-Trump stuff by referring people to a post from several years ago of her raising a middle finger in front of Trump Tower in NYC.

In Armstrong Stadium at least, the US Open has rainbow towels covering the players' chairs.

Given the nonsense over the rainbow crosswalk memorial to the Pulse mass shooting in FL (they've posted police to stop people from chalking the colors back in), this is refreshing to see.

The crimes people are pulling by claiming to be ICE and related government agents in this atmosphere of fear and terror over what ICE and Homeland Security are doing.

Here is the only one I've found on my phone so far. I need to check FB - that's where I would post my "annual" picture.

I loved having seats on the baseline.

Just took a closer look at the June 7 National Guard memo.

It talks in terms of multiple states. And says "at least" 2000 members of the National Guard will be deployed.

It was never 2000 only to Los Angeles.

My gut says this is aimed for Saturday.
"Further, I direct and delegate actions as necessary for the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Governors of the States and the National Guard Bureau in identifying and ordering into Federal service the appropriate members and units of the National Guard under this authority. The members and units of the National Guard called into Federal service hall be at least 2,000 National Guard personnel and the duration of duty shall be for 60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense."

From RG's IG Stories/Reels - my first full sighting of Junior.
Picture of some of the Nadal family at Roland-Garros, including Rafa, his wife and sister in the back row. Standing in front is his son, Rafa, in a black and white horizontal shirt, and shorts. Looking very cute.

The news of Iga's grandfather's death before Madrid started was confirmed with her team. Apologies, but I had to go to the bad place for this.

There are probably people who have posted this already, but it's too beautiful not to pass along.
On Reddit someone has come up with an 8 line response to the email EM sent out tonight where each line points to statutory duties. But the first letters spell out "F*CK M*SK" (letters omitted for obscenity reasons but they're in the list itself).

This is supposedly the accurate picture. But I'm waiting to see what actually happens.
Paragraph from article stating that some of the federal employees who took the buyout offers were also sent termination notices. OPM says that was done in error and the buyout agreements would be honored.
