The LIV Golf League has made major changes to the format of the Team Championship, including a preliminary round to be played on Wednesday between teams ranked 12 and 13 in the season long standings. There will also be no byes for top seeded teams. The losing team from the preliminary round will be fully eliminated and will take no further part in the competition. On Friday, there will be 6 quarter finals matches, where all 12 remaining teams will face off in head to head match play. The captains of the top seeded teams have the opportunity to choose their opponents as in previous years. The format is also the same, with 2 singles matches and 1 foursomes match, with 2 points needed to advance. On Saturday, all 12 teams will be divided into 2 brackets. The Championship Bracket, with the winning teams from Friday, and the Rankings Bracket, with the 6 teams who lost. Once again, seeded team captains can select who they play against and the format remains 2 singles matches and 1 foursomes. On Sunday, a champion will be decided and they revert back to the standard team format of the regular season, individual strokeplay with all 4 scores counting towards the team total. The 3 winning teams from the Championship Bracket will face off for the championship rings and the remaining 9 teams will play in their Rankings Brackets for minor places. Ripper GC, captained by Cam Smith will be looking to defend the title they won last season. The previous winners are Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC and Dustin Johnson’s 4 Aces GC. The 2025 Team Championship will be held at The Cardinal at St John’s Resort in Michigan on August 20th-24th.

Part Two: 20th Amendment of the CONSTITUTION: ( Some will say Obama took the Oath before Noon once, but that was because the Inauguration date fell on a Sunday. You can educate yourself here: ABC on Sunday / Obama: ( 6. The "Soldiers" shown at the Cannons... ZERO Commissioned Officer present. Violation of Army Regulations 600-25, 2–3 Cannon Salutes. Page 2: ( 7. Those “soldiers” shown for “Biden” were also non-regulation coats. 8. Those "soldiers" were moving around and did NOT perform any kind of marching ceremony, all waiting on their "cue." That’s NOT how the 3rd Infantry Regiment performs. Do yourself a favor and YouTube the Presidential Salute Battery. 9. The BEST of all… Remember, you heard the “Press Secretary”… refer to the Army, National Guard, and Arlington National Cemetery Rules and Regulations. The ONLY Cannons shown ALL day l ong for "Biden" on January 20, 2021, were 3 Cannons at Arlington National Cemetery. 3 Cannons at Arlington National Cemetery is NOT a 21-Gun Salute. It's a Military Honors FUNERAL. You heard the “Press Secretary”… the LOCATION is key. The number of cannons and location are key. Arlington National Cemetery website: "The 21-gun salute is not to be confused with the three-volley salute (or three-rifle volley) rendered at military honors funerals, which you might see or hear at Arlington National Cemetery." NOT to be confused with the three-volley salute. 3 Volley = 3 Cannons. Arlington 21 Gun Salute: Cannons: ( Again, the ONLY Cannons shown ALL day l ong for "Biden" were 3 Cannons at Arlington National Cemetery. = Funeral. The 21-Gun Salute is 4 Cannons, 21 Guns. 21 Guns = rounds / shots fired. The ONLY 4 Cannons shown all day long January 20, 2021, was at Joint Base Andrews with President Donald John Trump, in which the Media told you it was the 3rd Infantry Regiment, Presidential Salute Battery, aka ‘The Old Guard.’ January 20, 2021, at Joint Base Andrews with President Trump = The Inauguration. I don't think you want to discuss ARLINGTON... OR the National Guard. Let me go ahead and chap your asses about the National Guard. You’re all about the Military until a Veteran like myself puts your asses in your place with Military Laws, Orders, Regulations, and Customs, then as 99.9% of liberals, you run to your holes or your spew off a bunch of 💩 that doesn’t matter. You CANNOT support the Military without supporting our Laws, Orders, Regulations, and Customs. Even though those of us who served for the CORRECT reasons already knew this, but as the United States Supreme Court clarified in the Military Justice Act of 2016, passed in the NDAA of 2017, Military Laws are separate from Federal. Everyone of us who raised our right hand and took the Oath to serve in the Armed Forces, swore in under: Title 10 Section §502. From this point forward, you cannot like one portion of Title 10 without the rest of it. There’s a VERY good reason why there’s a DASH between 45–47 on President Trump’s ball cap. He didn’t live 78 years to forget the difference between a comma, &, and a - . The DASH = 👉🏻 Military Occupation 👉🏻 Government in Exile 👉🏻 Continuity of Operations You sure you want talk National Guard? The ONLY person who can Federalize the National Guard to Active-Duty is THE President. The ONLY President who’s recently Federalized the National Guard to Active-Duty. 👉🏻 45–47 President Trump signed 11 Executive Orders with 11 National Emergencies, and even though PEADs are draft classified, there’s enough evidence, Legislatively and Visual Enforcement, to make the statement, PEADs were signed. Visual Enforcement: 2016 Campaign Trail: President Trump, “I have 200 Generals backing me and more to come.”

‡ Judging Firm Ground Turf Action Friday's 8th race is the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. I've chosen this race not because it will necessarily present a good betting opportunity, but rather a good illustration of how I go about predicting whether horses which haven't yet raced on firm turf are likely to handle it well. In the U.S., handicappers typically look through the lens from the other side, meaning that as the vast majority of turf races are contested over firm (or hard) courses, predicting which horses may handle the odd soft ground race is the challenge. But when horses travel from Europe to the U.S., relatively few have shown form over anything like the firm ground typically found in the States, and not all of them adapt equally well. There are four European runners in the race. Balantina was beaten just a nose in a Group III race in France over a course rated firm, and her action appears consistent with a horse that should handle even firmer going. Precise, the 6/5 program favorite, has also won over relatively firm surfaces, and shows a good action. She'll need to overcome a very bad draw, but is clearly the best horse in the race on form. This brings us to the two fillies that I'll use to illustrate contrasting action. Broadly speaking, horses that are well-suited to firm surfaces show a fluid, lower-to-the-ground action, while those which often prove best on softer surfaces display a rounder, or what is sometimes referred to as "knee" action. Pacific Mission has run only three times. Her two races on turf were contested over ground that was much softer than what she will face at Del Mar. But her third race was at Kempton, over an all-weather surface, and the attached clip (below, on the left), was taken from that race. She is the one in front, with the rider wearing the iconic pink, white and green Juddmonte silks. As you should be able to see, Pacific Mission shows a good, fluid action, which implies that she is likely to adapt well to the Del Mar turf. Whether she, and her rider, Colin Keane, will be able to overcome the 12 post, and prove good enough to win or place, are different matters. Queen of Hawaii, trained by Aidan O'Brien's son Joseph, will break from post 2. She also has three starts to date, but unlike Pacific Mission, has yet to race over anything like firm ground. While all three of her races were over ground rated "good", that rating in Ireland is typically, I would say, equivalent to what would be labeled a "yielding" course in the U.S. That each of her last two races, both over a mile, were run no faster than 1:41 4/5, helps to illustrate the point. The clip of her most recent run (below, on the right), was taken from her Group III win at The Curragh in August. She is the horse tracking three wide (#5), in dark blue silks. Note how she picks up her knees, as that it the type of action that is more often associated with horses that prefer give in the ground. To be clear, some horse that display such action do "act" on firmer surfaces, as well, and presumably her trainer is optimistic that Queen of Hawaii will adapt. But the contrast between her action, and that of Pacific Mission, provides a good illustration of the basic differences. And setting aside all other handicapping variables, horses with fluid action are more likely to excel over firm surfaces than those with a pronounced knee action.

America is witnessing history at Super Bowl LIX as President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump stand proudly, applauding the U.S. flag and the players on the field, embraced by a roaring crowd. It’s a moment of pure patriotism, a striking contrast to the division that has plagued the nation for years. This is more than just a sports event; it’s a reminder of what a united America looks like—something that has felt out of reach for far too long. As Trump works tirelessly to clean up Washington, where establishment forces are desperate to cling to power, the energy in the South tells a different story. Here, the people are standing together, celebrating the values that truly matter. The stadium is electric, the atmosphere charged with a sense of renewal and national pride. This is not about left or right, but about an America that refuses to be torn apart by those who profit from division. While the political elite bicker and scheme behind closed doors, real Americans are here, standing shoulder to shoulder in a moment of unfiltered unity. The contrast could not be more obvious. Washington may still be tangled in its own corruption, but the heart of the country beats strong and undivided. Trump’s presence at this historic event is more than symbolic—it’s a testament to his unbreakable bond with the American people. While his enemies try to destroy him with endless lawfare and media attacks, the people show where they truly stand. His reception tonight is proof that the connection between Trump and the nation he fights for has never been stronger. The cheers, the flags, the roaring applause—it’s a reminder that despite all the attempts to silence and control, the spirit of America cannot be extinguished. This moment is a glimpse into what the country can and should be—unapologetic in its patriotism, fearless in its unity, and unwavering in its belief in American greatness. The establishment may try to dictate the narrative, but the people have already spoken. Tonight, under the bright stadium lights, America is reminded of its true strength: its people, standing together, honoring their flag, and refusing to back down. It’s a sight to behold, and one that will not be forgotten.

Backing Off on Attacks Against Iran At the request of Arab countries and Israel, the US has decided to indefinitely postpone plans to attack Iran. There are three points in this equation: 1 - Missiles would fly toward Israel without the country having prepared for it; 2 - The Strait of Hormuz would be closed, causing immense losses to oil-producing countries; 3 - American assets in the region would not be sufficient. I’ve said it several times here: Iran is a big player. In the 12-day war, the Iranian navy stayed out of the conflict, but today, knowing that the attack would be aimed at regime change, the Iranians would use everything they have. In those 12 days they practically lost nothing of their arsenal; not even long-range defense systems were destroyed. They hid everything, from aircraft to long range batteries. But today they would fight with everything they have. And that mainly means their three primary anti-ship missiles: Abu Mahdi, Talaiyeh, and Ghadr-380 (Qadr-380). All three with a range of 1,000–1,700 km. That is power not only to close the Strait of Hormuz, but to do the same in the Gulf of Aden and the part of Arabian Sea, causing chaos in the markets. How to take the opportunity and support the riots, without risking the main global trade route? A country of 90 million inhabitants that is as well-armed as Iran is not one that external agents can decide overnight to attack and change its government. For more than 50 years, the CIA and Mossad have been trying to overthrow the Iranian government without success. Now the regime is in a fragile moment, under popular pressure, but when we talk about Iran, nothing is so clear. The US options are limited to selective strikes, far from anything that could implode the regime. The truth is that anything of greater magnitude would put the regime in survival mode, attacking Israel, American bases, closing ship transit, and halting global markets. But I don’t think the US and Israel will let this opportunity pass so easily. New chapters will follow.

This post about bench press safety escaped containment and got a lot of people commenting in disagreement that safeties/spotter arms would've saved him. And in truth, my language below was a little too absolute: safeties MIGHT have saved his life (though even if so, would not have prevented all damage), but it's far from certain that they would have, so I stand by the overall sentiment. I will explain in detail below. The spotter arms have to be set below the top of your arched chest or else they’ll interfere with every rep - you'll clang the bar on the safeties, which not only severely interrupts proper technique and performance, but can also be potentially injurious in its own right as the clanging against the safeties takes you out of the rhythm of the rep and leads to uneven and chaotic force application demands mid-rep. The safeties can’t be set a mere milimeter or even a half inch below the chest: both because most racks have 2-3 inch hole spacings that don't allow such finely calibrated setting, but even if they do - also because as a gross movement pattern, not a fine movement pattern, you can’t control the movement of the bar precisely and accurately enough not to clang the safeties if they’re so close to your chest. Human beings performing gross movement patterns simply lack such fine control: on heavy sets, the bar might be slightly uneven on one side, you might lose a touch of your arch over the course of the set, etc... and end up clanging the safeties anyway, if they're set so close to the top of your arched chest. These issues are not form errors that can be prevented with proper training, but are inherent limitations in the human capability to control gross motor pattern movements at a heavy weight. Thus, the safeties have to be far enough below your chest in order to not interfere with the set itself, such that they can’t possibly catch the bar before it hits your chest in the case of a sudden catastrophic drop. The proper placement for the safeties is far enough below your chest so as not to interfere with the normal execution of the set and so the bar never touches the safeties at all during the set, even with the inherent human limitations of gross motor pattern control. But high enough such tha - if you find yourself unable to successfully press the bar to lockout - you can bring the bar under control back down to your chest, exhale and drop your arch, and the bar will ideally now rest on the safeties instead of your chest and you can crawl and slither out from under it. Worst case, you can roll the bar slightly upwards and the safeties will soon take it, well before it would lie on your neck. I have an example of using the safeties this way in the video below, with 485 lbs. The ability to set this position with precision and accuracy depends on the equipment you're using: Some racks/benches have 1 inch spacings for this purpose, which is excellent and allows greater precision in safety placement, but most common racks have 2-3 inches between holes and thus people must often have the safeties a little lower than they'd ideally be. The main point is the proper use and purpose of safeties in the bench press is not really to catch a very rare catastrophic sudden drop onto your chest, but to allow you to survive the much more common situation of a normal failed rep. Could they theoretically save your life in such a situation where you drop it? Yes, they might. They won't stop the bar before it hits your chest but they might reduce the impact by stopping the bar from going further down and reducing the impact. This may or may not save your life in this rare catastrophic drop situation - it's good to have them there, set up anyway, but it's far from a sure bet. The most important things you can do are to learn and practice good technique, which involves stiff wrists in a very slightly bent back position, and thumbs around the barbell - NO SUICIDE GRIP. The safeties won't catch the bar and stop it from hitting your chest, so it's best to reduce the chances of dropping the bar on your chest from almost zero to even closer to almost zero. I've been bench pressing regularly for well over 20 years, always put my thumbs around the bar, and have never dropped it on myself. Nor has anyone I have coached to the best of my memory, over tens of thousands of sets and hundreds of thousands of reps. I have used safeties to successfully avoid getting trapped under the bar after a failed rep. In the video below, I tweaked my pec while pushing through a rep at 485 and had to set the bar on the pins to avoid getting trapped under it. This kind of situation is the primary use for the safeties. It's good to have them set up regardless - they might indeed save you if you somehow still manage to drop the bar, but they also very well might not.

over the weekend, i built an app that i sincerely hope you will never have a need for, but if you do happen to need a friendly, free, private mri viewer designed to make it easy for you to track tumor progression, you can try it here: here's the story: as some of you may know, last last september, my six year old daughter mira was diagnosed with an extremely rare brain tumor called an adamatinomatous craniopharyngioma, and since then our family has been doing everything we can possibly do to find a cure for her. we tortured chatgpt deep research, put together our own private research team, raised $1.4M and donated it all to Hankinson-Mitra Lab research thanks to $MIRA, explored every remotely applicable drug whether on the market or not, and even began working with md anderson to develop a personalized vaccine that we hope can lead to a more permanent cure unfortunately, we received the devastating news last march that the tumor has continued to grow since her initial surgery, and we had to start to consider more drastic options which would have seriously impacted mira’s quality of life. thankfully, with the help of dr. sabine mueller UCSF Benioff SF and the Hankinson-Mitra Lab at the university of colorado, in april, we started her on an alternative but extremely experimental treatment for this disease. to our unimaginable relief, her tumor has responded extraordinarily well to this treatment which combines tocilizumab (an arthritis drug that blocks IL6 receptors) with avastin (a colon cancer drug that inhibhits VEGF proteins). we know this, because mira gets an MRI scan of her brain every few months. and every time we get a new scan, the first thing we do is compare it against her last scan. so we have to find the matching weight of the scan, and then find the same plane, and then carefully find the slices of the scan where the tumor is visible, and then find the closest match to last month’s scan, then adjust the zoom, rotation, and brightness / contrast so they all look the same. we got pretty good at this. but it shouldn't be this hard. so i built last weekend using gemini 3 with some gpt 5.2 xhigh. you just import your DICOM MRI files (either zip, files or a folder), and you can align all of your scans across multiple dates instantly, just click and drag a rectangle around the tumor on any image, and it will use some very clever algorithms to automatically align up and find the closest matching slice from all your other scans, match the brightness / contrast, rotation, pan, zoom, and even shear to make sure the registration is as close as possible, and make it as easy to possible to compare tumor progression. it has a grid view so you can see all your scans for the same location all at once, and an overlay view so you can quickly compare two scans visually (by holding down the space bar to toggle quickly between two scans), along with tools to animate your scans both within the same sequence as well as over multiple scans to show progression. there is no server, it runs entirely locally on your browser - nothing ever gets uploaded and it's all open source: if you've found this useful, please consider a donation to the UCSF Benioff SF hospital foundation, who has given us extraordinary care over the past year or so:

Can't help but smile at this one. One of those stories I think we are going to look back and laugh at one day. ⬇️ James Voorhies was an uncommitted catcher (and a very good one) just over a year ago. Hadn't thrown a varsity inning on the mound. In October going into his senior year I played catch with him at the local elementary school. We threw on a crabgrass field and I told him after 15 minutes of playing catch that his arm, body type, and feel for the baseball were far too advanced for him to not be on the mound. James agreed to start throwing bullpens and "give it a shot". 3 weeks later I did a workout with some of our clients and James threw a bullpen on the game mound. He was 85-87 and absolutely pounded the zone. Threw 3 of the dirtiest changeups I’ve seen (we had played with a kick-change grip a few weeks prior). I had never seen him throw against hitters. Saw a 15 minute catch play session and his first bullpen in years. I Immediately sent the video to a handful of Division 1 programs that were on his list and gave them the scoop. “He's got zero track record but everything about him looks like a future pro arm”. Responses ranged anywhere from excitement to skepticism, which was 100% to be expected. Fast forward a few months to February... CSUN pulled the trigger before his high school season even started and James went on to post a 1.09 ERA, 83 IP, 60 H, 21 BB, and 83 K in his first year of pitching to help take College Park HS to the NCS championship. So here we are essentially 1 year after Jimmy started pitching full time and he’s up to 94 mph as a true freshman, with a win and a save in his first two collegiate appearances with 7.2 IP, 4 H, 1 BB, 13 K. Pretty cool story of a guy going “all in” on something new and different, and a college program taking a chance on a guy that they see future potential in. But the best part of this story and biggest point I want to make is that I firmly believe the reason Jimmy V was the guy that CSUN took a shot on was because of his makeup, work ethic, character, and competitiveness. Jimmy is one of the best “makeup” guys I’ve ever recruited or advised. He is the perfect combination of humble and confident and was the QB/captain of his football team in high school. Jimmy made it easy for CSUN to say “that’s the guy we want to take a chance on.” And yes, it helped that he was 6’4” and a big time multi-sport athlete with a ton of upside. It fires me up to watch Jimmy doing his thing at a very high level. He’s got a ton of good baseball ahead of him. @jam8svoorhies CollegePark Baseball Diablo Valley Baseball Club CSUN Baseball

Paradis Macro Report [July 8]: US & Iran | AI Trade | Macro Data | Hedges | Catalysts The US/Iran ceasefire has collapsed... Overnight, the US struck >80 Iranian targets e.g. air defences, coastal radar and small boats in response to Iranian attacks on three ships in the Strait of Hormuz, incl. an LNG carrier from Qatar. With Trump saying “it’s just a waste of time dealing with them.” at the NATO summit today. Trump has threatened more strikes tonight, while the Treasury has revoked its waiver on Iranian crude sales. As expected, Brent and WTI crude oil rose today due to 1/5 oil volumes passing via Hormuz. For now, this is a “wait and see what happens” situation rather than actively trading the news. It's all very volatile, as seen with semis names recently w/ ~$2.8T of market cap being wiped out across the ecosystem at the end of June alone. We all know that semis have been selling off aggressively for the past couple of weeks, which hasn't been helped by the broader macro landscape with the war. In my view, it's definitely a risk-off market for the time being with the hyperscaler earnings at the end of July being the next critical catalyst. Maybe good timing to get all this war nonsense out the way beforehand? Korea is certainly the epicenter of the issue here with KOSPI being down over 20% in just over two weeks. Samsung put up staggering earnings earlier in the week where they became the most profitable company globally ahead of the likes of $NVDA. But the stock has sold off over 12% since.... Clearly, nothing is fundamentally wrong with Samsung. They're booming. So when a historic earnings gets sold, that's most likely a combination of de-leveraging / profit taking. Well, tbh, it doesn't really matter what the issue is, fundamentally they're strong and will continue to be strong. Then shifting back to the US, you'll hopefully remember the rates backdrop that we're currently in from my previous reports. Ultimately, the Fed held rates at 3.50-3.75% in June but there's a hawkish undertone with 9/18 participants projecting at least one hike in 2026. Today's FOMC minutes highlighted that the committee is split roughly 50/50, with a few officials seeing a case for a hike. The 10 Year Treasury Yield is currently at 4.571% at the time of writing this. And while the shocking June payrolls miss (just 57k jobs vs 115k expected) knocked Sep'26 hike odds from about 2/3 to roughly 1/2, oil's spike now revives the inflation case. Meaning that every high beta/multiple growth stock lots of us are invested in are caught between a hawkish Fed and a rising oil price. And looking at other data points such as: - VIX at 16.8 - High yield spreads at circa 2.75% - Gold falling nearly 1% Shows that the geopolitical premium that was build since ~Feb has already unwound significantly. In simple terms: we're in a valuation correction environment (as we know) in crowded AI names w/ a war premium bolted on top. Evidenced by the ongoing rotation into sectors like energy, defensives and large caps - away from smaller cap names such as those upstream AI supply chain bottlenecks. In terms of near-term events: - SK Hynix Nasdaq ADR (10 July) - June CPI (14 July) - $TSM earnings (16 July) So to summarise: I'm viewing the current macro picture as a 3 layered cake: 1. Geopolitical shock with US/Iran 2. AI positioning unwinds/deleveraging 3. Hawkish Fed rates environment And in terms of key data points to watch for: 1. VIX spiking above ~22 = more market turbulence 2. High-yield spreads through 3.25% 3. Brent beyond $90 All would mean something worse is going on rather than just a sector rotation that we're in now. Which I view as short term since AI fundamentals will superceed any short term noice. Until then, (NFA) hedges are cheap e.g. energy, defensives which are working right now. Also defensive tech as I like to call it i.e. software.

I have not seen enough about the decision from Mike Vrabel and Tim Kelly to go for 2 down by 8 last night. Here’s why I loved it: 1) NFL teams this season have been successful on 55% of two-point conversion attempts. The odds were in the Titans’ favor. 2) Will Levis was dealing in the 2nd half. 3) Titans still had all three timeouts and the two-minute warning. 4) Miami struggled to move the ball on offense all night. Their three scoring drives went for 12, 7, and 59 yards. 5) If successful on the two-point conversion, a stop on defense and a TD wins the game. If unsuccessful, you can still send it to OT. 6) Titans offense marched down the field, scored the TD to make it a one possession game and essentially told Miami, “we are going for two because we know you cannot stop us right now.” The odds are in your favor. It’s a good mathematical decision. You want to psych out an opposing offense? Give them the ball knowing they need to run the clock out, or you are going to have a chance to WIN the game, not send it to overtime. They saw what your offense just did to their defense. They saw your QB on the sideline screaming and hyping everyone up. Cutting the lead to six put WAY more pressure on the Dolphins offense. You want to hype up your defense? Put them back on the field knowing your offense just did their job. Put them back on the field knowing a stop and a TD wins it. At that point, they aren’t in the mindset of “we need a stop to have a chance to go to OT.” They are thinking, “let’s go out here, get a stop, and give our offense a chance to WIN.” There’s a fundamental difference in playing to WIN and playing NOT to LOSE. This was a decision by a coaching staff that was playing to WIN. Brilliant game by Vrabel and Kelly. Brilliant execution late in the game by the offense and the defense. Completely out-coached one of the best offensive minds in the game. #Titans

🙏🇺🇸🙏 Staff Sergeant Clarence Odell 'Clancy' Lyall - the Cherokee paratrooper of Easy Company, the good-hearted farm boy who jumped alone into Normandy, fought from D-Day to Berchtesgaden, survived Dien Bien Phu by crawling to a river in the dark, and lived every inch of his life on the forward edge. He was born on October 14, 1925, in Orange, Texas, the son of Arthur Edward Lyall, a Scottish sailor who transported oil between the United States and Scotland, and Beulah, a Cherokee Indian from Oklahoma. Arthur had made a trip to the United States specifically to see the indigenous peoples of Oklahoma, and there he met Beulah Mitchell, married her, and she moved with him to Orange, Texas, to build a farm. On June 6, 1944, Clancy Lyall jumped into Normandy, France. He landed in a tree about two miles from Sainte-Mère-Eglise, heavily loaded with equipment, stuck in the branches, unable to get down until his friend Jim Campbell found him and freed him. They were far from their designated drop zone. The night drop had scattered men across miles of the Norman countryside, and Clancy found himself operating under the responsibility of the 82nd Airborne Division, attached to Company B, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, fighting the Germans around Sainte-Mère-Eglise for three days before returning to Carentan to rejoin the 506th. He had fought his first battle with another unit. He had not hesitated for a moment. Back in Aldbourne, England, after Normandy, Clancy was officially transferred to Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR in August 1944, joining the company that had already built its legend at Brécourt Manor and Carentan, the company whose men the regiment spoke of with particular respect. He returned to the continent in September 1944 for Operation Market Garden, jumping into the Netherlands with Easy Company in the great Allied airborne gamble to end the war before Christmas. He fought through Holland, through the island between the rivers, through the defensive grinding of Market Garden afterward. And then December 1944. The call came in the middle of the night; the Germans had broken through in the Ardennes, and the 101st Airborne was immediately needed in Bastogne. Clancy Lyall rode in open trucks through the Belgian winter without adequate clothing, without adequate ammunition, without enough food, into a town already surrounded by German armor and infantry. He dug his foxhole in the woods of the Bois Jacques, in ground that was frozen solid, and held the line. He was there through the artillery barrages and the probing attacks and the gray, endless Belgian winter. He was there when Foy was assaulted on January 13, 1945, when Norman Dike faltered, and Ronald Speirs ran alone into the German-occupied town, and Easy Company pushed through regardless. Clancy Lyall was there for all of it 🙏🇺🇸🙏

Questions for Candace Owens Question 1 You have said that you were kicked out of your home at age 14 and lived with a boyfriend for six months, describing yourself as “one of those kids.” How did those early experiences shape your understanding of relationships, authority, and personal boundaries? Question 2 Years later, in your debate with 20 feminists and on the podcast Whatever, you often gave the impression that you were not one of those kids. Maybe I am wrong, Candace, so can you tell us whether you ever talked about your past in those debates, or explained how those early experiences shaped the beliefs you now promote for women? Question 3 You have said that from about ages 8 to 18, you read only fiction books, and that you began reading nonfiction only after you became interested in politics. How did spending almost a decade reading only fiction affect how you understand the world’s complexity and complicated issues in general? Question 4 In 2007, you sued the Stamford Board of Education after reporting racist death-threat voicemails. In 2024, you publicly stated that you were again receiving death threats, but this time from the French government. Given that, according to you, your parents kicked you out of your home at age 14, that you later received death threats from students connected to the Stamford Board of Education, and that you now say you are receiving death threats from the French government, how do you understand this pattern of death-threat claims appearing at major phases of your life? Question 5 In 2015, when you started the project called Degree180, you published articles criticizing conservative Republicans and the Tea Party movement, and mocking Donald Trump, including comments about his penis size. During that same period, you also wrote articles stating that cheating and having affairs could be romantic, and another article suggesting that it could be smart for a woman to marry a gay man. Even if you identified at that time as a Democrat or a liberal, these views are not commonly held within those groups. What values were guiding those arguments at that time? Question 6 In 2016, you launched a project that involved publicly identifying individuals accused of online harassment. After the project was suspended, you were later doxxed. After you were doxxed, you blamed the left. Is that true, and did that experience contribute to your shift toward conservatism? Question 7 You have said that you used Charlie Kirk’s credit card to buy airline tickets to the UK without asking his permission. What was the nature of your professional or personal relationship with him that made you feel comfortable enough to do that? Question 8 In December 2018, during that UK trip, you met George Farmer. Shortly afterward, in May 2019, you made comments at a Turning Point UK event stating that nationalism itself was not problematic, and that Hitler’s issue was his global ambitions rather than nationalism confined to Germany. How do you reflect on the timing and substance of those remarks today? Question 9 After 2019, TPUSA distanced itself from you and you were no longer on the payroll, even though you later spoke at events such as the Michigan event in 2024. How did that distancing affect how you viewed TPUSA from that point forward? Question 10 Is it possible for you, and for your followers, to consider that Erika Kirk is not a perfect human being, like all of us, and that Turning Point USA is not a flawless organization, like any organization, but that your conclusion that they betrayed Charlie could be wrong, especially if that conclusion was influenced by a dream?
