Avowed | Hands-On Preview Details ▪️You play as the... "Envoy", a fully customizable character traveling to the "Living Lands" (the setting of the game) on orders from the leader of the Aedyr Empire, a nation of humans and elves ▪️The Living Lands have a sort of Wild West frontier vibe where people head there in search of a better life, full of "rough and tumble" type inhabitants ▪️As the emperor's Envoy, most people immediately look at with mild distrust or full hostility as they see the Aedyr Empire trying to establish a foothold there ▪️You are sent there to investigate the "Dream Scourge", a soul plague that's infecting everything, and you need to learn how to stop it ▪️The game is not fully open world, but is made up of "open zones" that are large and interconnected, similar to The Outer Worlds ▪️Obsidian has made it a focus that each area is fully handcrafted and has interesting things to do, bandit camps, ruins to explore, half-destroyed hovels, undead soldiers, etc ▪️Features an open class approach to combat, where your backstory (war hero, arcane scholar, etc) determines your starting weapon, but you can find other options as you play like spears, swords, shields, pistols and can freely wield them ▪️You can store two weapon loadouts at a time and swap between them instantly, including mid-attack combo ▪️Hitting enemies damages health and also builds up a stagger meter that leaves them stunned when maxed out, allowing to do weapon-specific special moves for a lot of damage ▪️You can sneak around stealthily and get enemies from behind or use the environment to your advantage (like shooting fiery berries to start a fire) ▪️Some encounters can be bypassed entirely through stealth, or through dialogue convos if you have the right stats ▪️Combat is described as fast and fluid, managing your stamina meter to dictate your attacks, dodging unblockable enemy attacks, charging up your weapons for stronger hits, and being able to dual-wield like double swords, spear and pistol, etc "always feels like you have something up your sleeve" ▪️Some previewers however felt the combat was also "undeniably on the easy side" ▪️Eurogamer worries the Living Lands might not be as strange as Obsidian hopes it feels like, as there was nothing that popped out as unique or wildly original ▪️Structured leveling system, spend skill points in named skill trees like "Fighter" or "Ranger" ▪️Unlock special abilities that run on cooldown timers, mix and match different skills like the Fighter's dash-tackle and the Ranger's magic vines that entangles enemies ▪️There are many choices to make in the game, like happening upon a smuggler in a cage in the first outpost you encounter, whereby she's immediately distrustful of you, and it's up to you whether to release her or not ▪️One of the first places you visit is "Paradis", the main hub/point of civilization in the Living Lands, and you have to find the "clavager", essentially the town's mayor who went off to investigate some Dream Scourge reports ▪️After that, you're free to explore wherever you like, sidequests immediately become available, and they will impact your main story and vice versa ▪️Choices in sidequests "heavily impact individual characters, groups of characters, and entire settlements, factions of people, and the states of the regions that you go through. They will also impact the choices that are even available to you. Later in the game, you'll be locked or locked out of or presented with new choices based on the choices you made much earlier in the game" ▪️Exploring off the beaten path can often be rewarding, like happening upon a ruined tower that doesn't show up as any icon on the map. Investigating it triggered tripwire traps with swinging blades, inviting phantom enemies, and climbing up to the end revealed a chest with a high-quality piece of armor ▪️You can set up camps in different areas and talk to your companions, learn their backstories, etc which are all optional ▪️Writing is more grounded compared to the "relentless zaniness of The Outer Worlds", though still retains Obsidian's trademark humor but feels more natural to dialogue and less pressured to be quippy and quirky ▪️Kai, the bluish-green "Aumaua" companion from past footage, accompanies you early on. Companions are a 'constant presence', commenting on landmarks you pass by, during combat, and "generally feeling like a fellow traveler rather than trailing quietly behind you" Gamespot: Eurogamer: IGN: #Avowed #Xboxshow more

Marathon | Ultimate Overview, Gameplay, Hands-On Impressions ▪️Team based... extraction shooter set on Tau Ceti IV, scavenge remains of a lost colony for glory and fortune ▪️Launch: Coming to PS5, Xbox and PC on September 23 ▪️Will be a "premium" product, meaning not F2P ▪️"Weapons and movement feels crisp, fluid, and incredibly satisfying in that rarified way that few studios can achieve" ▪️3 maps, 6 runner classes at launch, more to follow post-launch ▪️Plans to support the game with new maps, weapons, characters, and more as it goes on ▪️Ranked play, end game challenges, seasonal storytelling, secrets to discover, community events all in Season One with more content coming ▪️You play as a "runner", cybernetic mercenary who's given up their human form for a bio-synthetic shell with unique abilities and stats ▪️Runner Types: "Locus" is a soldier class for pushing forward, can use a shield, "Void" is stealth, sneak by undetected, use smoke grenades, "Blackbird" is reconnaissance based, find players, positioning, and more ▪️Uncover secrets hidden in the wake of the original Marathon trilogy's events - how and where this overlaps or clashes with the original games "is a story that will unfold over time" ▪️Objective is to get in, get as much loot as you can, and get out alive ▪️If you die, your gear and loot will be up for grabs. Survive and you can take your gear with you on future runs as you grow in power and fill your vault ▪️Fight in a crew of up to 3 players, various map sizes up to 18 players ▪️PvP + PvE, battle other players, security forces, and "otherworldly threats" ▪️Contextual pings, shared objectives, down-but-not-out mechanics ▪️Environments are filled with weapons, materials, items, resources, cores, keys, backpacks, secrets etc to find You can find things like backpacks that expand your inventory, powerful and unique weapons, consumables to heal yourself, ▪️Select your runner, strategically build your loadouts pre-match ▪️Factions in the game can sponsor you and your loadout ▪️You have the freedom to opt out of crew fill and take all the glory for yourself as a solo runner ▪️"This is probably the best-looking, best-feeling extraction shooter ever made", not easy for newcomers to the genre, can be tough to get into, but one previewer was "reluctant to put Marathon down. This is a good sign – the best thing I can say after any preview is that I want more – but big questions remain" ▪️No two matches ever play out the same, dynamic events, variable weather, unpredictable players etc ▪️Customization: Each Runner "brings their own flair", but serve as foundations to customize your playstyle - collect implants and equipment to augment your Runner, like stacking implants/upgrades to reduce heat build-up to allow you to keep running, jumping, sliding longer ▪️Contracts: "Ingenious" incentives, finish contracts you accept for permanent upgrades to your stats, add precious items like grenades, shields, inventory-expanding backpacks, etc to your market. The bigger your market, the better your minimum loadout becomes ▪️Contracts provide "valuable direction", bring welcome diversity and add a "precious hit of semi-permanent progression" ▪️Prestige Cores: Rare items that can "really push the boundaries" (ex: Glitch has an upgrade that turns double jump into triple jump for more manueverability) ▪️Another rare item is a backpack that turns you invisible while interacting with containers (very useful when everyone on the map is hunting you) ▪️Each match "feels like the most important one ever", high stakes, "surprisingly challenging AI enemies" that were "much, much better at surrounding and overwhelming players than the vast majority of AI enemies found in other games" ▪️Having a balanced crew helps in exploring the "dark and forgotten places" in maps - filled with deadly creatures like a species of giant ticks who swarm you frantically ▪️Battles can become frantic as you encounter other crews, stalk them across the map, encounter AI enemies to fend off when others come to claim your loot (one preview battle turned into a 9 player free-for-all) ▪️Downside could be the reward system where skilled players enter fresh matches with high level gear that outmatches less skilled players, though Bungie says it has gone out of its way to try and make it where a poorly equipped squad can still stand a chance if they play well ▪️Even if you die, you can can still get upgrades, improve your reputation with factions, advance in perk trees, etc by completing various quests, looting chests, or fulfilling specific objectives which unlock new bits of story and can grant perks like buying slightly better gear from vendors ▪️"The world Bungie has built is every bit as beautiful as it is creepy and dystopian, and there are moments where they satisfyingly hint at the events of the Marathon trilogy from the ‘90s", though "what little I saw did only slightly more than pay lip service to the world" ▪️Uses the seasonal reset model like in Diablo 4, where players are stripped of their loot and progress at the end of each season to mix things up with new content and new meta ▪️Game is designed to get you killed, Bungie expects average exfiltration rates to be comfortably below 50% ▪️"You will lose a lot, and losing hurts a lot[...]Extracts are snapshots of this unpredictability. That white-knuckle countdown may become a gut-punch defeat, an unforgettable clutch, a desperate last-second dive into the portal as your downed allies watch in envy and horror (couldn't be me), or an unnerving anticlimax. It's not always a pleasant one, but it is a strong emotional hook" ▪️Some previewers worried about variety, weren't impressed with the objectives in the alpha, like hunting computer monitors on the map, sprinting over, marking dropships, sprinting over, and repeating, though random events help spice things up ▪️Not a 20-map game says Bungie, map design "does have that sticky battle royale quality of generating memories", though still worried 3-4 medium sized maps might not be enough ▪️Bungie's "verbiage" on updates sounds like possibly 1 new map a year + refreshing existing ones in between, which could work in its favor pushing players to really learn maps, but will they hold up over hundreds of hours? ▪️Fights are decided by gun skill, clever ability use, map awareness, how strong your shield is, how many healing supplies you have, etc ▪️Example: If you have one bar of shield and enemy has four, you'll lose 1v1, but change it up with powerful grenades, status effects like toxic or overheat, backpacks are "transformative", etc Gameplay Trailer ▶️ Gameplay Overview ▶️ PS Blog ➡️ IGN ➡️ GamesRadar ➡️ ▶️show more

💥IMPORTANT💥 🇳🇿IS NEW ZEALAND DESPERATE ENOUGH FOR RADICAL REFORM?... Let's be honest. Are you sick and tired of the same old politics? Another pathetic Chris vs Chris election. Another election where Winston Peters decides who gets the keys to the Beehive. Another parade of recycled politicians asking for another chance. Another party list stacked with Misfits you've never voted for, quietly sneaking into Parliament through the back door. Where is the vision? Where is the courage? Where is the leadership that makes you believe New Zealand's best days are still ahead? I don't see it. Do you? ************ NZ IS NOT GOING FORWARD. NZ is going backwards. Every statistic that actually matters tells the story. ▪️ Families breaking apart. ▪️ Family harm climbing. ▪️ Child poverty. ▪️ Elderly poverty. ▪️ Homelessness. ▪️ Crime. ▪️ Drug addiction and meth devastating communities. ▪️ Mental health deteriorating. ▪️ Youth without hope. ▪️ Businesses closing. ▪️ Productivity falling. ▪️ Government debt exploding. ▪️ Kiwis leaving New Zealand in record numbers. Then politicians stand in front of cameras telling us everything is improving. They might believe it. New Zealanders don't. You can feel it. Something is fundamentally broken. This isn't the New Zealand we grew up loving. We've lost our way. And no one in Parliament seems capable of showing us the way back. ************ WE NEED REFORM Not another election. Not another slogan. Not another coalition of chaos. Not another reshuffle. Not another broken promise. A complete reform of our political system. Because here's the truth... The political parties aren't fixing New Zealand. They're protecting themselves. Parliament has become a fortress. Political parties protect political parties. Politicians protect politicians. The people come last. ************ PROJECT REFORM This is bigger than an election. This is about asking the question every Kiwi should now be asking... Is our political system still fit for purpose? Because if the system keeps producing failure... Maybe the system is the problem. ************ HERE'S WHAT REAL REFORM COULD LOOK LIKE 1. SLASH PARLIAMENT. Reduce Parliament from more than 120 MPs to 65 directly elected representatives. Smaller government. Less bureaucracy. Lower cost. More accountability. 2. SCRAP MMP. No more unelected List MPs. No more diversity or identity politics. No more party bosses deciding who gets into Parliament. If you want to represent New Zealand... Win your electorate. Earn it. 3. BREAK THE GRIP OF POLITICAL PARTIES. Political parties have become the gatekeepers of power. MPs spend more time being loyal to party leaders than loyal to voters. That has to end. Every representative should answer to the people who elected them. Not party headquarters. 4. DRAIN THE WELLINGTON SWAMP. Less bureaucracy. Less waste. Less career politics. More delivery. More accountability. More results. ************ A DIFFERENT KIND OF LEADERSHIP Imagine this... Instead of another politician who has climbed the ranks becoming Prime Minister... New Zealand elects a Visionary National Leader…a President…whose job is to build the strongest leadership team this country has ever seen. Not based on party politics. But based on excellence. The very best people New Zealand has to offer. Imagine selecting... ▪️ New Zealand's version of Elon Musk to rebuild our economy, modernise government, eliminate waste, introduce blockchain transparency for government spending, cut bureaucracy, reduce debt and put more money back into Kiwi pockets. ▪️ The nation's best educator leading education because they have actually produced outstanding results…not because they've climbed a political ladder. ▪️The country's best innovators. ▪️ The best business builders. ▪️ The best farmers. ▪️ The best infrastructure minds. ▪️ The best technology experts. ▪️ The best health leaders. A Dream Team of around twelve proven performers. Not academics. Not career politicians. Not people who've spent thirty years learning how to survive Parliament. People who've actually built things. Created jobs. Solved problems. Led organisations. Produced results. Real-world experience. Real accountability. Real leadership. Real Kiwis. ************ LOCAL PEOPLE STILL HAVE THE POWER Every electorate still elects its own representative. Every community still has its own voice. But instead of endless party games... Local representatives work alongside a national leadership team chosen because they are the very best in New Zealand. By the people. For the people. ************ WE ALSO NEED TO ASK THE BIG QUESTIONS If we truly want a new political system... Should New Zealand remain under the Commonwealth? Should we leave the monarchy? Why should we continue under a monarchy whose modern role has changed significantly from the one that existed when New Zealand was founded? Should New Zealand write a new Constitution that clearly defines: ▪️ Who we are. ▪️ What we value. ▪️ Our freedoms. ▪️ The limits of government. ▪️ The responsibilities of citizens. ▪️ Christianity as the founding faith that shaped this nation. These conversations shouldn't be feared. They should be had. ************ THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME Before anyone says it... No. I don't want to be President. My passion is seeing New Zealand finally get the leadership it deserves. I want my children... and my grandchildren... to inherit a nation that is stronger than the one we're leaving them today. I want to see moral leadership restored. Integrity restored. Common sense restored. Christian values honoured as the foundation that helped make New Zealand one of the greatest countries on earth. You don't have to be a Christian. But you should respect the values that built this nation. If the right visionary leader emerged, I would support them, and stand with them. Encourage them to never lose their way. I believe New Zealand needs an independent Accountability and Integrity Authority…a body with real teeth that holds every leader, every politician, and every public official to the highest standards of honest, transparency, and moral responsibility. Power without accountability always ends in corruption. Government must answer to the people. Not just on election day. Every day. That’s the kind of nation I want my grandchildren to inherit. ************ THE POLITICAL CLASS WILL NEVER DO THIS Why would they? This reform reduces their power. Reduces their numbers. Breaks their control. Ends the political party cartels. Exposes corruption. And puts every leader through a constant test of character, integrity and accountability. They're being asked to vote for their own redundancy. It won't come from Parliament. It must come from the people. ************ SO I'M ASKING ONE QUESTION. Is New Zealand desperate enough for reform yet? Or are we going to vote for the best of a bad bunch... Yet again. This election. Another coalition. Another compromise. Another three years. Another decline. History shows nations can change. Countries have transformed themselves through bold political reform. Just look at El Savador with Bukele and Argentina with Mikele. The question isn't whether it's possible. The question is... Are Kiwis ready? Or do we need to suffer a little longer before enough people finally say... Enough. ************ JOIN PROJECT REFORM This is not a political movement. This is a movement to reform New Zealand for the next generation. To install visionary leadership. Install accountability. Restore freedom. Restore prosperity. Restore hope. And if you believe you're one of the movers and shakers New Zealand needs... A nation builder. An innovator. A business leader. A proven problem-solver. Reach out to me. Project Reform needs New Zealand's best minds to help rebuild this nation. This is no longer... Left vs Right. National vs Labour. Chris vs Chris. This is now... THE PEOPLE vs THE POLITICIANS. The question is... Are you ready to do something different. Are you ready to Reform NZ? Join PROJECT REFORM here:show more

🚨If They Erect It — We Will Protest It... 🚨 Let me make this as clear as day: If the Orewa Buddhist statue goes ahead — and the Council or Buddhist community allow it to be erected… we will vigorously protest it. Not out of hate. Not out of racism. Not out of violence. But out of obedience to God and in defence of the Christian heritage of our nation. This is not just a statue. This is about the invasion of foreign religions into our Christian land— and a blatant attempt to set up a false god in a high place. That’s why we stood publicly on 21 June. That’s why we tore up the Buddhist flag — not in hate, but as a line drawn in the sand. We declared: New Zealand is a Christian Nation. We affirm that position without apology. As I said last Saturday: Christianity is New Zealand’s official religion. And just like any sovereign nation, we must now begin placing firm restrictions on foreign religions that seek to undermine our identity. Right now, we’re seeing: 🔸Mosques rising across our suburbs 🔸Statues erected in high places 🔸Islamic schools multiplying 🔸Ramadan, Diwali festivals and more flooding our cities 🔸Temples and shrines appearing in Kiwi neighbourhoods Meanwhile, other nations are taking action — and New Zealand is falling behind: 🇭🇺 Hungary has banned Islamic migration and declared Christianity its national identity. 🇵🇱 Poland rejected Muslim refugee quotas to preserve its Christian character. 🇺🇸 Under Trump, the U.S. reinstated public prayer and promoted Christian values globally. 🇮🇹 Italy’s PM has boldly said “yes to Christian identity, no to Islamist violence.” 🇩🇰 Denmark has just banned the burka and restricted non-Western immigration. 🇸🇰 Slovakia has refused to officially recognise Islam as a religion. So here’s the question: If they can do it — why can’t we? It’s time for New Zealand to wake up. It’s time to defend our Christian identity. God’s Word gives us clear instructions: ▪️ “You shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations... served their gods... Break down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, burn their wooden images with fire.” — Deuteronomy 12:2–3 ▪️ “You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image... you shall not bow down to them nor serve them...” — Exodus 20:3–5 ▪️ “You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me.” — Exodus 23:32–33 ▪️ “King Josiah... broke down the high places... tore down the altars and crushed the idols.” — 2 Kings 23 These scriptures are a warning for any Christian nation that lets foreign gods take root in its soil. We will not be silent. We will not sit back. And we will protest, fiercely and lawfully, when false gods are raised in our land. We fear no man. We fear God. And in His name — We will defend this free land. New Zealand was founded at Waitangi in covenant with the God of the Bible — not Buddha, not Allah, not the gods of wood, stone, or dead images. GOD DEFEND OUR FREE LAND. GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALAND. #KiwiWayOfLife #TruePatriotsNZshow more

FT Spurs 1 v 2 Fulham That first half... was absolutely shambolic and totally unacceptable To any fan or player of this club an XG of 0.01 with 17 crosses and no shots on target v a team that’s not won away from home all season until today . Vicario hang your head in shame again useless. At least in the second half we came out with serious intent. Bergvall was relentless so much great energy.Muani is always dangerous and the class act up front.Kudus with a superb finish to get us back into the game in the 2nd half. Let’s be honest without MVDV’s first half performance we’d of not had a chance to still be in the match. Despite all this it’s just not good enough.4 wins at home since Nov 3 2024 and only 3 home wins out of our last 21 it is a disgrace . With 3 defeats in a week I’d say Frank has got a tough task ahead to keep his job at the club the next 2 fixtures could well determine the outcome of his tenure. This is indefensible there are players out there that are just not good enough imho. Supporting Spurs is just not good for your long term health 🥲 #COYS 🤍💙show more

In from Ohio last week was Chloe Taynor -... just an 8th grader but already has a national reputation as a 2-way talent for Indiana Magic Gold 2030 Rogers/Fritsche Chloe added velocity while dropping relative stress on her elbow. We are thrilled to have her as one of our PVS athletes helping keep her healthy and strong with our App as she enters high school next year!!!! Great stuff Chloe !! Her before and after in the 🎥 below illustrates the important topic of arm lay back. Timing and “Layback" in throwing refers to a key biomechanical position in overhand throwing mechanics. The term describes the moment when the throwing arm reaches “maximum external rotation” just before acceleration and release. This is a major problem in Softball, because the sequencing of the act of throwing is often incorrect Ideally, we want The elbow up/near shoulder height. You will see the The forearm and hand "lay back" behind the body (the ball points somewhat backward or away from the target). At this point the shoulder is in extreme external rotation (the upper arm rotates outward), creating a stretched, loaded position in the shoulder and arm muscles/tendons. Layback acts like stretching a rubber band or "cocking" the arm — it stores elastic energy. When the body rotates forward (hips and torso leading), the arm rapidly internally rotates and whips through, generating much higher velocity and power. Better layback often leads to harder, more efficient throws with less arm strain (when mechanics are sound). This is something we test every girl for at the beginning of our sessions and at the end. Layback Matters in Softball Throwing Because it ▪️Increases throwing velocity. Elite throwers show significant layback to maximize the "whip" effect. ▪️Improves efficiency. When proper body sequencing is present hips → torso → shoulder → the arm produces layback naturally without forcing the arm alone. ▪️Reduces injury risk. Good / well timed layback comes from whole-body drive rather than arm-only effort.

It’s been great out here. One of the best... things I could have done is come out here. Take my lumps by facing older pitching from elite Juco players to awesome D1 players. First week and a half to two weeks were rough. Almost felt lost. Seeing pitching that has very good movement and run, high velo or guys who just have a really good mix of pitches. Make some adjustments, gain some confidence and get after it. Sometimes they get you- sometimes I get them. That’s the beauty of baseball Shout out to Old Hickory for the amazing wood this summer the TC42 bat that I swing will be available in the next few days go check it out!! You know I’ve been using Bruce Bolt batting gloves since the company literally started. Be looking for a complete refresh on the TC42 batting glove. Time to change things up from the black and red and get some serious pop going. You can see the leg guard, elbow guard, sliding mitt and batting gloves are all Bruce Bolt. Awesome protection, style and function. Grateful to the Marshal Gates Foundation that every year brings some of the best players from around the nation to Utah to train and intersquad all summer long. Can’t say enough great things about this foundation and the amazing things they do. And how can you not just love the play by play announcer Michael Goodkind. He crushes every one of the events he covers. What a summer!! ⚾️😎⚾️ #baseball #homerun Old Hickory Bat Company BRUCE BOLT Texas State Baseball Steven Troutshow more

I say this with all due respect and out... of love. Black America is embarrassing. As a Black man I am truly embarrassed for us. Anybody following the Democrats is ridiculous but what do we get out of it? I watched Black people march around this country and say "the whole system" is guilty, only to vote for a blond haired White woman who used to work for the CIA over a Black woman because she is a Republican. We have lost the plot... No, even worse, we are the plot. It's not about voting for a White person or Black person based on their race, it's about the logical inconsistency of what we think the "guilty system" really is and how selective we are with our definitions and standards. I say this in all seriousness, Black people make so many excuses "culturally" it's almost unbelievable. We talk about "culture" and celebrate "culture", if a Black person does something good or has success, we hold them up as an example of "Black excellence". Great, but if a Black person doesn't something violent or self-destructive we blame White people or racism. If somebody achieves "Black excellence", the 1st thing they usually do is move away from other Black people, go to where White people live, but then we say there is no problem in the Black community? Are we retarded? And I don't say that to be funny. I honestly see the stuff we post online, the content we consume, the comments we make, what has our attention as Black consumers and think to myself are we retarded? Even woke is like this genre of social media activity that tries to engage in intellectual dialogue but it's so heavily wrapped in "white supremacy this, white supremacy that". Here's the strangest part... Sports is one of the few places Black people have been dominant categorically, yet none of our "culture" is a reflection of what it takes to become a great athlete. Imagine a basketball player loses their man in a basketball game, the coach calls a timeout and in the huddle the player says "but other people lose their man, I watched other games where players lose their man, the refs don't want us to win." Any good coach would say "shut the hell up and guard your man or come out of the game", if they don't lull you out for the response alone. Now imagine if everybody did that? That's what Black America has become. One big excuses and a sorry excuse at that. No amount of Obamafication can liberal wash the reality of Black America. We've essentially destroyed our standard of education and stunted our intellectual growth by hitching our wagon to a political philosophy, political agenda, political party that isn't even rooted in reality. Non-binary?You niggas should be ashamed of yourselves honestly. One thing I won't do is allow my legacy to be going along with this nonsense because it was convenient and trendy or socially accepted. I'd rather go the Malcolm X route, where 40-50 years later the things I say will still be so true people try to ignore it rather than face it. Black America is being used to destroy America, we need to start being honest so we can help save it. Royce White for U.S. Senate MN 2026 America 1st, End The Woke!show more

There is 1 fundamental flaw with most health programs:... They pass the complexity over to you. You are presented with high-level information or action steps that fail to dig into the details. Why? Because this is hard to do; and the coach or creator of the program didn't put in the work to sift through that complexity for you. Instead, they passed it over to you to figure it out for yourself. Like it or not, someone has to eat this pain. And I'm of the belief that this shouldn't be you. Thankfully, I've put in the work—I've suffered a high degree of pain—so you don't have to. Over the last 2.5 years I create a 12-step health system to achieve total human optimisation. A blueprint to eliminate lingering health issues, gain complete control over your mind and body, and access your full cognitive capacity. You'll find all the details here: And I'll admit: It's not a cheap program. I don't offer low quality cookie-cutter services. Like Leonardo da Vinci and the Mona Lisa, this program has been cultivated over many years. And it's damn good. Which is why tomorrow it will return to it's full price of $1,475. Meaning you have 24 hours to secure it at 53% off, $697. The program is 100% self-paced, and you maintain access to support and coaching for 6-months at a time. How does this work? From your sign-up date, a subscription renewal fee is charged every 6 months so you can maintain access to me and my team. (+all roll-outs/updates) This renewal will be exactly 1/2 of your initial investment. Meaning, if you secure the program at 53% off, your renewal will be $348.50 every 6 months (down from $737.50). This is fixed. The 53% off code is auto-applied at checkout as we speak, it will only work for the first 50 people. Go here to secure it:show more

My apologies for sounding like an old fart... But... Keep it in perspective: A million programs out there touting elite athletic development. Everyone has the secret sauce to elite athleticism, speed, and agility. Exercises to break things down, build back up, special exercises, corrective exercises, endless form running drills all from your favorite speed guru to the stars... But it's not lost in me that my generation and the ones before had no speed training gurus to work with. Many of the kids I grew up with were good movers who could stop, start, and sprint just fine. We simply played lots of sports, pick up games in the neighborhood, wrestled, ran through the woods, climbed trees, and rode our bikes to our friends house...we also had to mow the lawn, shovel the driveway and rake the leaves as landscaping companies just didn't exist. You and your siblings were your own landscapers! I saw many great athletes growing up and can't recall one ACL or Tommy John surgery during my younger years. Fast forward to 2023, and it's a different world. One of early sports specialists and over organization. If you work with kids, look to the past for inspiration. Take a step back and let them play, explore, and figure things out. You'd be surprised when you put a young athlete in the right environment how well they naturally move. #LTAD Looking for material on youth athletic development? DM for details.show more

Thought for today…. I would like to thank Alexander... Isak for his behaviour and forcing to leave Newcastle. I would also like to thank Liverpool for the duplicitous way they unsettled him. Why FFS you may ask? Hear me out… 1. The bloke is not a team player as he showed last season with his performances at the start and end of last season and we only want fully committed players at our club. 2. At some point due to the corrupt PSR rules we were going to have to sell a big player to enable us to move to the next level. It might as well be one with the lack of character and morality that he has shown. 3. Isak and Liverpool have handed us a massive windfall that has the potential to transform the club over the next few seasons. Without this we would not be able to move forward as quickly and we would all be waiting for the axe to fall on another star player. That is less likely now. 4. We now, potentially,have the strongest squad in my living memory (with the possible exception of Keegan’s Entertainers but who knows they may surpass even them) 5. The new CEO and Sporting Director (both of whom are top class if reports are correct) will be walking into a club that is united from top to bottom and in a very strong financial position. A club that has qualified for the Champions League in two of the last 3 season and won its first domestic trophy in 70 years. A club that is clearly on the up. 6. PIF will hopefully have learned lessons from what happened this summer and even though it was a little late they acted in the last few weeks and made sure the end to they transfer window could be deemed a big success despite the circumstances (next up get the CEO and Sporting Director in and announce a new stadium) 7. Eddie Howe, Andy Howe, Jamie Reuben and Steve Nickson have cemented their reputations. In particular Eddie’s handling of the whole Isak affair has been a masterclass in diplomacy, hard work, and man management - we truly have an absolute gem and a gentleman leading the team. 8. In summary we have a club that is united from top to bottom, in a healthy financial position, a much stronger squad with players committed to the club, new top class senior personnel to be added very shortly, a second Champions League season to look forward to and hopefully more silverware. Thanks Isak (you are still a rat) and Liverpool (your £135m will move us to the next level head of time) HWTL 🖤🤍🖤🤍show more

We have a second high-level player in the portal... who has earned the right to level up. I’ve spent the majority of the last 730 days with Demari Williams. Over his two years at HCU, I’ve watched him develop into exactly the player Arizona State saw when they signed him out of high school. • Slashing wing with a grown-man, Power 5 body • 6’6” (measured with shoes), 220 lbs — not an ounce of fat on him • Dynamic defender who can guard 1-4 • Elite on-ball defender who matched up against our opponent’s #1 scorer each night • Played his best when it mattered most. In 28 Southland Conference games: 10.4 PPG on 90-194 FG (.464), 21-60 from three (.350), and 90-107 FT (.882). • Against Iowa State (12/29/25): 19 PTS (7-13 FG), 5 REB • Good perimeter shooter who can really cut — best 45 and corner cutter I’ve ever coached Off the floor, Demari’s habits are elite. He eats clean, takes great care of his body, works hard in the weight room, and has zero bad habits or vices. Note: Last season we had two double-figure scorers at HCU who entered the portal for revenue opportunities: Julian Mackey (to FIU) and Bryson Dawkins (to YSU). Both were feature players and double-digit scorers at their new schools. Demari is cut from the same cloth and will be great for you. Call or text me with any questions. I’ll give you everything you need to know.show more

Jonah Savaiinaea, like Kenneth Grant, was one of my... top man crushes of this draft class. He was my OG2 when I dropped my big board a few weeks back. ✅ Offers you both guard and tackle flexibility if you are in a pinch ash he played RG, LT and RT at Arizona ✅ Has the combination of everything you’re looking for especially if you’re the Miami Dolphins; he’s strong as an ox, moves very well for a man his size and isn’t a liability pulling, reach blocking, in open space while he isn’t a stiff or slow mover to the second level plus he has that nasty side you want to see from you trench players especially on the interior ✅ Savaiinaea has good length to his frame at 6’4, 324 lbs., 10’ 1/4 hands and almost 34’ inch arms ✅ Plays with good pad level, technique and mixed in with his previously mentioned length, he’s hard to win leverage wars against ✅ Not only can Jonah Savaiinaea deliver a ton of power at the point of attack or with his devastating punch, he can take on power really well with his anchor ✅ Really good pass blocker and run blocker, he passes off blocks well, makes his pre snap and post snap IDs across the line for movement indicating blitzes, loopers coming his way, stunts, etc. and he’s always looking to make a block, he’s relentless ❓Can he handle twitchy/explosive rushers a bit better at the next level? ❓ Lateral movement is just okay ❓ Hand placement can get erratic causing him to lose his block and he’s not overly explosive in short areas #PhinsUpshow more

Recently, I have taken time to reflect on what... Abraham George (Abraham George 🇺🇸) truly means to the Republican Party of Texas—and the answer is clear: he is one of the most steadfast, battle-tested leaders we have. Chairman George has led through a whirlwind tenure marked by relentless pressure, yet he has never failed to show up. On the eve of his own mother’s funeral, he stood in the room at the third quarter SREC meeting in 2024. That is the kind of character that defines real leadership. Chairman George worked with all of the stakeholders to deliver a resounding Republican victory in Texas in 2024 for President Trump (Donald J. Trump). He is already working with RNC Chairman Gruters (Joe Gruters) to have great success in Texas in 2026! Chairman George doesn’t just talk about fighting for conservatives—he shows up for them. This fall, he traveled to Houston to stand shoulder to shoulder with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (Attorney General Ken Paxton), Michael Berry (Michael Berry), Kenny Webster (Kenny Webster), and the courageous students at Stratford High School who dared to form a Club America chapter (Stratford Club America) in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. He was there, on the front lines, when it counted. Thank you, Turning Point USA (Turning Point USA) and Turning Point Action (Turning Point Action) for all that you do for the fight. At the same time, I have watched with growing alarm as forces inside our own party deliberately work to intentionally sabotage the very foundation that Chairman Rinaldi (Matt Rinaldi) and Chairman George spent years building. These are the same men who took our party from where it was and moved it to where it needed to be—stronger, bolder, and more principled. Now, as we face coordinated attacks from within, we cannot afford weakness or division. Abraham George has proven he has the spine, the vision, and the unwavering commitment to keep us moving forward. He fights for the grassroots, he fights for conservative values, and he fights for the future of our state and our country. He leads and he wins! I am with Chairman George all the way. No hesitation. No compromise.show more

"I have nothing that would suggest that it is... of out-of-this-world origin, except that we can't explain at that point the physics that appear to be employed." ~Rounds (Except? That's a pretty big except that points towards anomalous tech. And it doesn't have to be from out of this world in order to belong to a non-human intelligence. Maybe it's human but not part of our society as we know it? Maybe future humans, or another form of human? Maybe something based here? No matter what Ross Coulthart threw at Senator Mike Rounds, it was deflected without a second thought. Keep reading. I went beyond the video clip.) Rounds: "I try to talk to anybody that has firsthand knowledge of actually working on projects. In fact, I told my team that I don't have an interest in talking to people that have second hand knowledge or that will relay information to me without evidence that they have firsthand knowledge of any particular type of materials or projects. I've talked to individuals that have told me their firsthand knowledge of things that they can't explain, but I have never gotten to the point where I could determine what it was as an item or a project or a platform, that what it really is." (So, has he had any firsthand witnesses tell him that why worked hands-on a non-human craft? If so, what did Rounds do to confirm or refute that? Did he get access to the program and see a craft up close? Did he ever find a program that had that type of evidence? I thought Ross did great but I would have loved if he asked Rounds this: Were you ever denied access to a program/location? "I've given [members of Congress and the executive branch] not only the existence of non-human intelligence but the address to go look to see it. And they were denied access." ~Jay Stratton - Jay Stratton ~ Rounds: "And so, are there things that I can't explain, based upon direct information from individuals that have observed information or materials? The answer to that is yes. But I have nothing that would suggest that it is of out of this world origin, except that we can't explain at that point the physics that appear to be employed. So, whether it's from one of our adversaries or whether it's from a unique project here within the United States, I simply don't know and I won't draw conclusions." (He admits that they can't explain the physics and then reverts to it possibly being from an adversary or one of our own USG projects. And doesn't suggest that it may very well be something truly anomalous.) Ross: The WSJ says, in the 1960s, live, thermonuclear weapons were tested against EMPs. Do you find that plausible? I couldn't believe the USAF would do that. Rounds: I know we've done a great deal of research with regard to EMPs. We've had to study EMPs as a weapon system and our adversaries have looked at them as a weapon system. EMPs would do damage to electronic equipment but not to humans or structures. (Welp. He obviously finds it plausible.) Ross: How about enhancing the whistleblower protections? Rounds: "I don't know that the existing protections fail us." Ross: What about AARO? Rounds: I met with AARO leaders and found them to be frank and open, "I don't have any evidence that says that there's in any way a desire to limit their ability to do research or to hide the information that they're doing. " (Bring in Kosloski and ask him if he told James Fox that he had to get approval from the DOD even if he just wanted to part his hair.) Ross: Rubio said we've had repeated instances of something operating over restricted nuclear facilities, and it's not ours. And we don't know whose it is. Any kind of craft over sensitive national security sites is a national security threat. Rounds: I don't disagree. But I don't know if it's ours or if it belongs to one of our adversaries. And if it's neither, then I don't know whose it is. I'm not gonna jump to conclusions and I'm gonna keep my options open. I wanna make sure that if it's something one of our organizations in the US actually is testing or working with that we not disclose it. If it belongs to one of our adversaries, we wanna make sure that we have all of the information we can gather on it and be prepared to defend against it. "And if there's something that is neither ours nor theirs, it belongs some place else, then my curiousity really starts to grow at that state of the game and I wanna be open to those possibilities as well."show more
