I post about the New York Red Bulls, Philadelphia, the Mets, and mostly nonsense.
Wow didn't know calling air strikes on fishing boats were illegal. I'm aghast.
Breaking news: In the past 10 months, the Trump administration has pushed for lethal strikes on Western Hemisphere drug traffickers and repeatedly steamrolled or sidestepped government lawyers who questioned whether the provocative policy was legal.
White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats
The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

They're just giving up on Virginia
The White House budget office said in a court filing that it could fire over 4,000 federal employees during the government shutdown, though it noted that the funding situation was “fluid and rapidly evolving.”

It's not the mere fact that this is happening that bothers me so much; it's that there's all this money floating around that could be organized and deployed to solve real problems instead. Half a trillion US dollars being spent in a collective program would eliminate any problem you could think of.

LA DODGERS just now:

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

I wonder why Donald Trump can be anti-DEI and pro HBCU
President Donald Trump has affirmed the importance of HBCUs, and the schools have not faced the kind of pressures that have rocked Ivy League schools Trump has blasted as hotbeds of "wokeness" and antisemitism.

But that is not to say it's a comfortable time for HBCUs' leaders.
HBCUs depend on federal funding. Their leaders are walking a tightrope on Trump's DEI attacks

pathetic wokesters lib here, I'd be soooooo owned if they gave me a dividend in the form of comprehensive medical coverage
Elon Musk said Tuesday he would pitch President Donald Trump on an idea to send Americans a “dividend” based on the savings he expects the U.S. DOGE Service to achieve, but even conservative budget experts are extremely skeptical that the plan could work in practice.

Trump will shift many of the "FBI’s 38,000 agents, analysts and technical experts to illegal immigration, which traditionally held a limited role" and "from securities fraud, antitrust violations and other white-collar cases to drug-trafficking and violent street crime."

"Falling short" is a funny way of saying, "kneecapped because it doesn't make the President richer"
Renewable energy sources were supposed to take over the grid.

However, as President Donald Trump takes the reins, threatening tariffs and halting new permitting for wind, the country is drifting further away from an all-renewable future.
Renewables were supposed to take over the grid. Instead they’re falling short.

Tonight Gáttaþefur (Doorway Sniffer), the 11th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He has a very long nose and a keen sense of smell, which he uses to find laufabrauð.

MLS not releasing the times and dates of their playoff semifinal is very smart - a lot of demand for a sporting league that's a little mysterious.
