Fancy Farm never disappoints. Unless you’re Charles Booker. Maybe that’s why he left before it was over. At least Charles showed up. Andy Beshear couldn’t even manage that. Maybe if we bus in enough voters from South Carolina and New Hampshire next year, he’ll finally make it back to... show more

“It wouldn’t sit right with me if I ended up passing [Cory Sandhagen] in the rankings and maybe even getting a title shot by jumping over him without getting that win back—or at least not attempting to. I’d like to get that one back.” Mario Bautista on why he wants Cory Sandhagen next.

Julius Erving talking about playing with Charles Barkley: “I kept seeing his upside. He was hard-headed. He had something to say about everything. If he didn’t play as good as he can and well as he was capable of playing or whatever, then some of the things he did wouldn’t be tolerated. But they were tolerated because, you know, he was exceptional, man. He could rebound it, take it coast to coast, make play. And for his height to rebound the way that he did, it was incredible. It was kind of disruptive because we had won the championship the year before he got there. Then the year that he got there. We had to make room for him and he almost killed Marc Iavaroni cuz he was playing the four, Charles was like that’s my spot right there. This going back to violence in the game because the next man up. Me and you man. He get Iavaroni at his back. He back him all the way out to the top of the key” (Via All the Smoke)

Worth noting Steve Jobs actually studied long-lasting organizations to manage Apple, including the Catholic Church. “We observed the oldest and largest organization in the world has only four layers of management. That's the Catholic Church. And, uh, five if you count the highest order I suppose. So, we see no reason why we need over four layers of management. Indeed, we have usually about three. That’s the president. Maybe, we have a division manager and then maybe under that a marketing or engineering manager. And that's really about it. So, that's what we're trying to do. […] We hire people to tell us what to do. [They] come back and tell us how much it's going to cost and go do it. We've got an incredible group of entrepreneurs…[these] people are very independent thinkers and what they really want is…the environment where they don't have to convince 30 other people that it's the right thing to do. […] We really make an attempt to do that and I guess our feeling is that the day that somebody working in Apple decides that they can't make a difference anymore, is the day we've lost.” *** He was 28 for this chat….full 55-min vid for Aspen Design Conference Talk from 1983:

🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!! A Catholic church in Columbus, OH had to SHUT DOWN its annual FAMILY FESTIVAL because a mob of "teens" turned it into a brawl. Teens began punching each other and then ROBBED A CVS before they began jumping on cars to escape. Over 10 people were arrested and 100+ cop cars from TWO DEPARTMENTS showed up. This was a CHURCH fundraiser THAT WAS PLANNED ALL YEAR LONG FOR THE COMMUNITY!!!!!!! A family event with carnival rides to support St. Catharine Parish and its SCHOOL. And now? The church has CANCELED the ENTIRE FESTIVAL for the rest of 2026. A fundraiser for a Catholic school... GONE. Because a mob of "teens" destroyed it and made it unsafe for everyone. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

Over 300 Antifa protestors showed up to our event in Seattle. They threw urine filled balloons, were topless in front of children and even tried charging me onstage. It was so chaotic that it reached the White House and the department of justice. Why? All because we wanted to worship and pray. Let me make it clear. We as Christians will NEVER back down. We will not be silenced or intimidated, its revival time in America, again! Watch for yourself…

Bill Maher: “Why did you [turn down running for Senate in North Carolina and Florida]?” Lara Trump: “It was one of the hardest decisions of my life... We weren’t going to live in North Carolina, and I said, ‘This is not the time for that.’ And then Marco’s seat came up, and I took it very seriously. I had many conversations with [President Trump], and he was incredibly generous with his time and explained everything to me and encouraged me.” “[Trump said:] ‘You’re the only person that could have walked into a Senate seat and the only person to turn it down.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, well, maybe there will be another chance.’ [Trump replied:] ‘Honey, there will NEVER be another chance. That’s it, you’re done.’” “I’ve never had a harder decision than that… I ultimately decided because my kids are so young.” Respect!

🚨 CAITLIN CLARK FINALLY SPEAKS. They called her a white nationalist. Invoked Emmett Till against her. Lied about her skipping the All-Star carpet for a hair appointment when she was at her own charity event. After months of pure hate, she finally hit back: “You don’t know me… don’t make accusations about my character when you’ve never even spoken to me.” She’s a Catholic farm girl from Iowa who just happens to be the biggest thing to hit the WNBA. And they can’t stand it. The league that preaches “inclusion” has been silent while her own teammates get physical and the media runs cover. Enough is enough.

"did you ever blame charles indirectly for when you stopped karting?" arthur: no, never. i think I was mature enough to understand that it's a sport that costs a lot of money. it's such a huge risk. and again, even if you put your son into motorsport, like my dad put everything into charles... I mean, you have to understand the odds are extremely slim of making it to f1. it's... honestly, it's a crazy bet. everyone kind of thought my dad was a bit crazy at first too. it's not easy. i mean, you're karting, it's really hard to picture the future. there are so few spots in f1. and after a while, f2 seasons start costing like 2 million. we were struggling. well, karting races were... "sometimes several hundred thousand a year." arthur: yeah, but we could never, ever afford sums like that. it's thanks to nicolas todt, who managed to bring in the money and sponsors, that charles was able to move up [...] and yeah, it's true that from... up until i was 17, for me anyway, it was over. i was in school, and i had to find a job.

If you're wondering why the Wolves traded down the way they did tonight, I'd recommend listening to this full explanation from Tim Connelly. There were roster spot and apron restrictions to navigate for the Wolves, for sure -- and maybe that's justification enough. But it sounds like the 2nd round this year got a little pre-determined by agents between Day 1 and Day 2. (Last year was the first year of the two-day draft. Would make sense that some new strategies/loopholes were found in last year's process that were taken advantage of by agents this season.) "It was really curious how agent-driven the 2nd round became. We called players left and right, and there was 20 deals done before (the second night of) the draft even started... 31 is fun, but maybe not as fun as we thought it was gonna be."

"Akufo-Addo's government is better than Mahama's government." – Bernard Anbataayela Mornah Before 2025, farming became so lucrative that a bag of maize at the farm gate cost 800 cedis. We all aggressively invested in it, and I had to increase my farm from 200 acres to 500 acres. Now, this year, we can't even do 200 acres because the maize is in the barns and we haven't sold it. We use the money from sales to buy inputs. Host: So does it mean that Akufo-Addo's government was better than Mahama's? Bernard: Of course, but two things. Under Akufo-Addo, the School Feeding Programme took up more of the maize. Now, maybe the Finance Minister is trying to hold onto the money so the economic fundamentals look good. They look good, but the farmers are suffering. Host: It means Akufo-Addo was better than Mahama. Bernard: Of course, because we sold it at 800 cedis then, and today we are struggling to sell it at 300. So my focus now is on animal husbandry. He spoke to Tungsung Radio 97.3 in Wa.

Dear Catholics, this is not the time for Hallelujah Challenge. This is lenten season. There is an app called Hallow by Alex at Hallow. This app made me fall in love with the Catholic Church. It was this app that opened my eyes to all the beauties I didn't know that the Catholic Church has. This app has converted many people to the Catholic Christian faith. It has brought many Catholics who were confused about the Catholic faith back to the Church. If you are looking for where to grow richly in knowledge of the Catholic Church, this app is for you. It contains all the novenas and litanies you can think of. Mark Wahlberg, the popular Hollywood actor, taught me how to recite the rosary perfectly on this app. This app contains "Bible in a Year" and catechism podcast that was recorded by fathermikeschmitz during the covid lockdown. Fr. Mike read and explained the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation and explained it in such a way that it fits in our world today. Many Genzs all over the world have returned back to the Catholic Church because of this Hallow App. It also contains many gregorian chants and radio drama of many Saints that you can listen to. Saints like St. Valentine, St. Josephine Bahkita, St. Lucy, St. Patrick, St. Pope John Paul the Great, St. Padre Pio, and too many to count. There is also the children section if you are looking at wanting your kids to grow in the Catholic faith. This app has these and many more. Hallow is currently on a #pray40 Lent challenge, and today is Day 2. (Peep my current streak lol. Is there any Nigerian living in Nigeria who has this streak???) So please, head to your playstore or applestore as the case may be and download the Hallow app. I promise you, you'd be greatly blessed by this. So, in this Lenten season, we are returning back to the Faith. We are returning back to Jesus.

I have to share this clip. I found it so funny. Her real colors came out. I think this maybe one of the reasons why Charlie didn’t want Candace at campus tours anymore. She didn’t like the students. 😂 She says why would he be excited to go back to UVU because it’s just - “A bunch of teenagers mostly over coddled by their parents, shouting at you” “She wouldn’t be on the edge of her seat, itching to go back to UVU”. She literally hates anyone that’s not Catholic, Orthodox, or Russian at this point. Does she talk nicely about anyone? Candace maybe he was excited and it was going to be the best because you weren’t going to be there. I just found that she seems to have not liked the students at these events interesting. Backs up the woman in the posts that is all over X saying Candace was rude and wouldn’t talk to them if she didn’t have to.

🚨 NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON: “WE’RE NEVER GOING TO MARS.” When asked if humans will ever reach another planet in our lifetime, Tyson didn’t hesitate: “Zero. The odds are zero.” He says it’s not about rockets or science, it’s about politics and power. “We only do big expensive things if there’s a geopolitical reason... money or war. Not just because it’s the next thing to do.” Tyson broke down why we really went to the Moon and why we never went back. “We went to the Moon to beat the Russians. And when we looked over our shoulder and they weren’t there, we canceled the Apollo program.” The Apollo 18 rocket? It was fully built, flight-ready and now sits sideways in a museum. We just… stopped. He says the only thing that could push humanity to Mars would be a new global rivalry. “We’re not going to Mars… unless China says they want to put military bases on Mars. Then we’ll be there in ten months.” So maybe the space race was never about exploration, it was about competition. When the enemy vanished, so did the dream. We didn’t stop because we couldn’t go further. We stopped because there was no one left to beat.

We receive around 74 reviews a day, and we read every single one. About 98% of that feedback is positive and we’re deeply grateful for the many of you who keep choosing our meals again and again. But that other 2%? It matters just as much to us, maybe even more. If your experience with Didi wasn’t what it should have been, whether that was recently or years ago, we’re genuinely sorry, and we mean that. Some of you walked away disappointed and never came back to give us another shot, and honestly, we understand why. We just wish we’d had the chance to make it right. That’s why we track feedback closely and keep improving every single day. To everyone, past and present: we’re listening, and we’re not done improving.

Today, in Melbourne, Brad Battin was rolled for Jess Wilson. It happened swiftly and without warning. Like thieves in the night they rolled in, and by morning, Brad was rolled out. Why? Surely there must be a reason. Maybe it was because he is a man. A mature man, with 50 years of life experience. Maybe it was because he had held a number of real jobs. Maybe it is because he served the state as a police officer. Maybe it is because he had owned and run a business. Maybe because he never was a staffer. Maybe it was because he didn’t come from Liberal royalty in Kooyong. Maybe it was because he was opening doors in new areas, places that had not considered voting Liberal before. Or maybe it was because he didn’t go to the right schools or move in the proper circles… Maybe. It could be because he was effective as an opposition leader. He was indeed shifting the polls and government policy - particularly on the youth crime epidemic plaguing Melbourne. It could even be because he was against “the Voice”, like most of the rest of his state. Maybe because he was against the treaty, that has put the property rights of all Victorians under a cloud. It is possible it was because he is against 100% renewables. Maybe he just wasn’t doing as he was told by the backroom boys - the lobbyists, the hacks and the spivs. It might even be because he knows what a woman is. Possibly some of those things… probably all of them. Because from out here, it looks like Jess Wilson is the solution to all of those ‘problems’. Just another young, inexperienced, former staffer. Just another progressive lady, who will solve the woman problem in the Liberal party, by helping the rest of us define it. Whatever the reason, I am sure the Liberals have just stolen defeat from the jaws of Victory as the inner-city elites that run the show shake their million dollar watches, fists clenched at the voters choosing Teal. As the former Liberal strongholds leave the blue team in their droves, in pursuit of a better brand of champagne socialism, they plant a foot squarely on the throats of the socially conservative and economically aspirational. The Liberals, desperate to chase back what they have lost, install Wilson in a pathetic last-ditch effort to woo them back. Demonstrating they too are happy to put the boot into those less progressive and more aspirational. People that just want to buy a home, pay the power bill, and maybe just run their homes in peace. Labor ran away from them long ago, as they pursued the same anti-Australian, anti-aspirational policies that please the Liberal lobbyists, Teal voters, Green voters, Unions and the Liberal backroom boys. The choice has never been less clear. Go with the progressive socialist that you know, or the progressive socialist that pretends to understand the economy better. The red or the blue, it’s up to you. Or maybe this is the election where the Liberals in Victoria go the way of SA, and WA, as they get packed into a minivan and sent away. One thing is for sure, the minor party and independent vote at the Victorian election will be record breaking, because the major parties are completely absorbed in their own brilliance. Completely wrapped up in themselves, holed up in their lavish offices as the groaning public feel the pain of decades of neglect. I would urge Brad Battin to hold his head up. His treatment by the corrupt and out of touch Victorian Liberal Party is a badge of honour. They are like the robbers he spent much of his career trying to catch. Like thieves in the night they shall slink off into the thickness of the dark. What happened to him today was very ‘modern’ Liberal, but hardly very Australian. I just want Australia back.
