Been watching a lot of footage of 2028 QB and now Alabama commit Charles Scott Jr. According to 247 in 2025 the 6’5, 255 lb sophomore threw for around 3,600 yards and 41 TDS on 178 completions. Only throwing 4 INTs!!! Scott Jr (son of his high school coach) has obvious massive upside given his size. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that already as a sophomore, he has an SEC build. The Good: - Kid is LARGE, much like Alabama’s recent five star commit Elijah Haven, Scott’s size allows him a full view of everything going on around him on the field. Mechanics benefit from his size - strong throwing platform. - Flashes plenty of natural strengths, including an explosive arm that doesn’t seem to have to work very hard to push the ball vertically. - Even as a developing HS quarterback, Scott Jr already shows a lot of finesse. Accuracy in highlight tape (provided below from Scottboyz on YouTube) is on the upswing, especially on layered and touch passes. - Although not technically a massive run threat, Scott Jr, given his size, can stress defenders on the ground, especially in short yardage situations. Areas for Refinement: - Shows promise with timing routes, but will get better as he matures over the next couple of season. - Mechanics are not fully polished as to be expected from a young QB, but raw traits still shine. Footwork under pressure! - Will grow into faster processing speeds as he continues his path. Will need this as he makes the talent jump to the SEC. All-in-all, this is a rising recruit in the 2028 class - one that will garner a ton of attention over the next several months, especially now that Alabama fully seated at the head of the table. Another potential eval masterclass from Kalen DeBoer, Ryan Grubb, and Bryan Ellis. The scheme fit for Scott Jr is perfect at Alabama. The size and arm talent are there, with touch on the way. Combined with intangibles such as high football IQ (coaches son) and a very strong relationship with Tide staff - this is a solid pickup for Alabama. The QB position remains in great hands moving forward in Tuscaloosa.

On the 6th day of recruiting myths: Myth #6: “Colleges don’t recruit from high school programs.” It’s true. I’ve never seen a D1 coach at a high school game. Maybe 1-2 make it out to the big well known pre-season tournaments, but in most states, HS ball is in the middle of their own season. So this myth is mostly true if you’re in the D1 or bust mentality. Almost all of us start with that goal, but there are a million things that have to go just right to make that happen. There are plenty of players with enough talent to play D1 that don’t start there. I know this because I played with some amazing ones. They ended up going the JUCO route for one reason or another, killed it as All-Americans, and are now playing at a higher level. I had local JUCO coaches at our HS games all the time. I actually saw them more often in high school than I did at the club tournaments I played in. Even if you think you’re destined for D1, it’s important not to discount it. What happens if you’re injured your sophomore or junior year, or you developed a little too late for D1 programs who have filled their class? What happens if your freshman grades sunk your GPA? What if the programs that offer you don’t have enough athletic aid to make the finances work for your family? To say all recruiting happens in club is more like saying I’m only interested in one path to my goal. And… if you kill it in high school season and get some recognition it can be enough to catch the attention of D1 programs. I had a good friend that nailed it her junior year. She had not received any offers going into May, but her HS season was incredible. She made zero errors all season! Her bat was 🔥 and she ended up getting selected as the Conference Offensive Player of the Year across the state of Arizona. She posted the award on X and immediately she had a D1 coach follow her. That coach eventually came to watch her play in club and have her out for a visit. The award didn’t get her an offer and neither did the high school play directly, but it built enough credibility to get some interest. And for people outside the “recruiting bubble”, these seemingly little things can be the tipping point. She’s a freshman this year playing D1 softball. So… if you’re thinking High School sports don’t provide recruiting opportunities, you’re thinking too narrowly. The opportunity looks different, but it’s still an opportunity to increase your odds of playing at the next level. #RecruitingRules Rule #2: Build your brand. Create your own luck - High school sports provided one of the best opportunities I had to build my brand. Local media coverage. State tournaments and awards. Those are things that don’t happen often in club. The coaches might not be at the field to watch during their own season, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep building your brand to improve your opportunities later!

Full-speed Practice #3 in the books for the 49ers. Highlights... 🏈Great battle between Renardo Green and Mike Evans on a nice deep pass from Brock Purdy. Green won with the PBU. Green: "A dawg recognizes a dawg. So we're going to go at it and sharpen each others' swords." 🏈Renardo Green spoke at length about how much Kyle Shanahan's belief in him has elevated his confidence. Seems that some totally misread the brief Seattle "benching" 🏈Another CB highlight: Jack Jones INT'd Mac Jones on rollout jump ball to Jacob Cowing. Jones has been a spark plug this camp 🏈It was the De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson show at WR today. Stribling is eminently impressive physically — just really hard to cover with his traits. Robinson is a reliable vet whose roster stock only increases with Ricky Pearsall still dealing with last season's PCL injury 🏈Darrell Luter Jr. (final year of rookie deal) did have a nice PBU vs Robinson 🏈Punt returners... -Jacob Cowing -Jordan Watkins -Junior Bergen -Will Pauling -Wesley Grimes Cowing had a couple catches today and a first down on a reverse but has not been overly productive on offense. He's the 49ers' shortest WR. His ticket to the 53 might be through that PR position 🏈Jaden Dugger, the rookie LB with the 7-foot wingspan, is a LONG strider. Nice range on a throw to the flat today 🏈Mac Jones is constantly funny. Hit Patrick Taylor Jr. on a swing pass vs what might've been busted coverage and acted like the TD won the Super Bowl with his arms outstretched 🏈Shanahan was again on the field for a bit. Former safety Raheem Morris joined him and John Lynch watching from that centerfield spot 🏈Brock Purdy and his wife, Jenna, announced that their second child is on the way this morning. Congratulations!

Territorial Leakage: The Structural Cost of Losing In-State Elite Talent OWU: Institutional Intelligence Brief Conceptually Thinking Basketball Does Iowa Iowa Women's Basketball know it has a problem? That question is not emotional. It is structural. Katie Muller Phenom Basketball Dowling Catholic GBB Katie Muller is not simply an interesting prospect. She is structurally important. She represents a leverage point inside a broader pattern that now spans multiple recruiting cycles. When a flagship program consistently loses its most decorated in-state prospects, the issue is no longer anecdotal. It becomes architectural. Institutional basketball intelligence begins with a basic principle: sustainable programs dominate their geography first. The state is the primary ecosystem. The region is the defensive perimeter. National expansion is built on top of territorial density. When elite in-state players leave, the signal transmitted to younger prospects is measurable: validation exists elsewhere. The résumé trail is public. The 2026 class featured McDonald’s All-American Jenica Lewis and nationally ranked Averie Lower, slotted No. 55 in the country. The 2025 cycle included Top-15 ranked Divine Bourrage and No. 43 ranked Libby Fandel, the reigning Miss Iowa Basketball. The 2023 class produced McDonald’s All-American Sahara Williams and elite post Audi Crooks, another Miss Iowa Basketball whose production translated immediately at the collegiate level. These are not fringe prospects. These are nationally validated, award-bearing players with institutional signal value. McDonald’s All-American status is national confirmation. Miss Iowa Basketball is in-state dominance. Top-15 and Top-50 rankings represent market consensus. When that tier exits repeatedly, the cumulative effect is recruiting gravity erosion. Elite in-state prospects function as identity anchors. Their commitments define aspiration pathways for younger classes. Club circuits adjust exposure networks. Competing Power programs use those exits as proof that Iowa’s top talent is accessible. If the pattern continues unchecked, it becomes self-reinforcing. That is the unsustainable element. A recruitment profile built on external acquisition while exporting internally developed, nationally decorated talent introduces volatility. It weakens territorial authority. It increases dependency on national battles that carry higher friction and lower predictability. Meanwhile, regional competitors fortify themselves with Iowa-developed equity. Programs that win consistently at the highest level follow a predictable order of operations: dominate your state, fortify your region, expand nationally from strength. Inversion of that sequence creates cyclical instability. Katie Muller now sits at an inflection point. Her recruitment is not just about fit, role, or projection. It is a referendum on ecosystem control. Retaining a prospect of her caliber signals correction. Losing another elite in-state profile compounds perception. The central thesis remains unavoidable: territorial leakage is cumulative. The more decorated talent that exits — Lewis, Lower, Bourrage, Fandel, Williams, Crooks — the more the structural question sharpens. Does Iowa recognize the pattern? And more importantly, does it intend to correct it? Recruiting is not about collecting names. It is about controlling geography. Ecosystems begin at home. #OWUEvalDay #ConceptuallyThinking #BuiltDifferent #PlayerTrustNetwork #ScoutingTruths [Jeremy Brooks ] [NXTPRO Hoops Girls] [Jr. All-Star Girls Basketball] [] [Premier Recruiting Service girls basketball [World Exposure Report Women’s Basketball] [Blake Derrick] [Winston Kelly] [Sidney A.

Sen. Senator Robin Padilla is calling for immediate action on laws covering minors and social media following the deadly shooting at Ateneo de Zamboanga University Junior High School in Zamboanga City on Tuesday, August 18. He argued that online platforms can heavily influence young people and urged authorities and lawmakers to reassess how children are allowed to use them. The attack left two students dead, including the Grade 9 student identified by police as the gunman and a Grade 10 student he shot. Two others were injured. Authorities said the attacker brought firearms onto campus and livestreamed parts of the incident using a body-worn camera before dying at the scene. Padilla said social media can give young people a platform where violent thoughts can be acted out or displayed. He also said the kind of brutal violence now being seen among young people reminded him of crimes he witnessed while detained in Bilibid, renewing his push for stronger restrictions on minors’ access to social media. Investigators have yet to determine what drove the attack. Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla said authorities are reviewing the gunman’s gaming and chat history as part of a broader forensic examination, stressing that conclusions on motive should only come after the investigation is complete. The shooting was the Philippines’ second fatal school shooting in less than two months, intensifying questions over school security, young people’s access to firearms and the role online platforms may play in violent behavior. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered a full investigation as authorities work to establish what led to the attack and how another tragedy can be prevented.

#Meteor discusses his feelings and future plans To be honest, I had a lot on my mind after we got eliminated from Champs. I talked to several people about what I was feeling. After being eliminated, I felt really down. We had just won the previous international tournament, but then we were knocked out early in Champs. When I went to watch the finals and saw another team lifting the trophy, it hit me hard. After Madrid, I was disappointed but motivated to do even better next time. But this time, watching the Champs final, I couldn’t stop thinking, “If only we had done a little better, that could’ve been us.” It was a completely different feeling than what I had after Madrid. After that, I tried playing more ranked games to push myself, but I just wasn’t enjoying it. Going from constant team play to suddenly playing ranked felt exhausting. I realised I really wanted to compete again, but at the same time, I didn’t enjoy ranked matches. That’s when I started watching Afreeca TV more often. I guess it was because I still wanted to play val, but not ranked, so I started watching it. I had already been watching Afreeca since I was in high school, so it felt familiar. Anyways honestly, after Champs, I got hit by reality and it was mentally tough for me. I really wanted to stay with Gen.G, and I even talked to the org about it. But after we won an international tournament, I figured that, for both me and my teammates, salaries would increase, and each player would eventually move to the best situation for themselves. It felt like we were all in this uncertain state. I even asked teammates and coaches, but no one could give a clear answer. That uncertainty made things even harder. During this time, I'll be doing some trials and talking to other teams, but ultimately, I want to join a team where both the conditions and the members are the right fit for me and the org. I’ll probably decide after testing. But honestly, I haven’t decided on a team yet. I’m just going to look around and make a decision after. As for overseas teams, I don’t plan on moving to Europe or anything. I still want to play in APAC.

During this time, I'll be doing some trials and talking to other teams, but ultimately, I want to join a team where both the conditions and the members are the right fit for me and the org. I’ll probably decide after testing. But honestly, I haven’t decided on a team yet. I’m just going to look around and make a decision after. As for overseas teams, I don’t plan on moving to Europe or anything. I still want to play in APAC.

🚨 ALERT - ISLAMIZATION OF RED STATE ARKANSAS Taxpayer-funded Muslim Brotherhood operation is building a massive 10-acre Sharia campus in Little Rock - deliberately creating a separate Islamic society. As I’ve documented across the country, this is the Muslim Brotherhood’s “civilization jihad” strategy in action: building parallel Sharia societies that reject assimilation and create self-contained enclaves from cradle to grave - all subsidized by American taxpayers. Little Rock is now a frontline example. While hard-working Arkansans help foot the bill, the Islamic Center of Little Rock (ICLR) and its Huda Academy - Arkansas’s only full-time Islamic school- are constructing a sprawling new 10-acre West Little Rock campus. It includes a much larger school (expanding to high school), a full mosque, a banquet hall, a gym, athletic fields, and more. Construction is already underway. They paid $1.3 million cash for the land and have millions banked, plus interest-free Sharia loans. This is not innocent growth. It is strategic institution-building so future generations can live, learn, and raise their children with zero need to assimilate into America. 🔺 Taxpayers are funding it: In 2024-25 alone, 39 students (16% of enrollment) received Arkansas LEARNS vouchers- routing roughly $267,000 in public money straight to this school. This will open the floodgates. Once fully operational, it will pull in large numbers of Muslim families from failing blue states and accelerate the Islamization of a red state. 🔺 Muslim Brotherhood ties: The Center transferred properties early on to the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), a named unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing trial. It maintains deep links to ISNA, another unindicted co-conspirator tied to the same U.S. Muslim Brotherhood network. 🔺 Leadership: The current religious leader, Sheikh Emad Fadel, is an Egyptian native who earned his Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D. from Al-Azhar University in Cairo. Al-Azhar is the Vatican of Sunni Islam - the oldest, most prestigious, and most authoritative center of Sunni doctrine in the world. It trains imams globally, issues fatwas that shape Islamic practice (SHARIA), and remains a powerful institution steeped in classical supremacist ideology and historically linked to extremism and jihadist thought. Fadel previously served in Egypt’s Ministry of Endowments. Is he still connected to the Egyptian government in any way!? 🔺Non-assimilation agenda: Huda Academy’s own strategic plans emphasize building a “strong Islamic identity,” enforcing a Sharia-compliant environment (strict hijab during Quran and prayer), and long-term investment so “there is no way we can see a future for Islam in our community in America” without this parallel infrastructure. They train staff through ISNA-linked programs and send youth to events tied to the same networks. 🔺 Political cover: Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr. has publicly celebrated with them, attended mass Eid prayers at War Memorial Stadium, and supported the expansion. This began decades ago with families praying in living rooms and borrowed church space. Our naïve “interfaith” kindness is being weaponized. It has evolved into deliberate institution-building: property transfers to Brotherhood-linked entities, fundraising at their conferences, youth programs pushing separation, and now a taxpayer-subsidized mega-campus. They openly brag about outgrowing their current site and planning for generations of children “tied to the Quran” in a distinctly Islamic environment - while collecting Arkansas education dollars. This is strategic civilizational expansion, not organic growth. Arkansas families deserve better than subsidizing parallel societies and ideological infrastructure tied to groups flagged in federal terrorism cases. READ FULL REPORT HERE:

I originally did these as duck walks with a dip belt, loading pin, and handle with Odd Haugen in the early 2000s for strongman. Back when strongman conditioning looked less like a fitness influencer salsa routine and more like a couple pissed off ranch bulls fighting over the last hay bale at the county auction. Now I use them primarily as prehab for my ankles and feet. Funny enough, they relieved my ankle soreness better than almost anything else I tried. I personally just do one ugly nonstop set. Sometimes up to 5 minutes straight. Looks like a wounded gorilla dragging a feed trough through wet cement. Works unbelievably well. Later I used lighter versions with general fitness clients in Santa Barbara and Nashville. I even used them training bikini competitors at Metroflex. Then football players. Baseball players. Big strongman mutants. I still use them for both performance and rehab. Why they hit different: Wide stance + marching shifts stress hard into the feet and ankle complex, glutes, adductors, and outer hips. The hanging loading pin forces stabilization the whole time. No smooth machine groove. No fancy bearings. No uptown country club feel. Just you, gravity, and consequences. The loading pin changes everything. The weight hangs straight down and drags you forward into the balls of the feet. That lights up the foot intrinsics, ankles, calves, hip stabilizers, and core anti rotation. It feels more like manual labor than exercise. More raw. More athletic. Less “fitness machine.” The movement also has a semi unilateral feel to it without the balance demands or joint stress of true single leg work. Easy learning curve. Massive carryover. I actually have a very nice belt squat machine. Originally the loading pin setup was out of necessity because I had no other option. Now it’s 100% my preference. Like choosing gas station barbecue over some tiny downtown steakhouse charging you $94 to leave hungry. Now I use them constantly for ankle resilience, conditioning, GPP, posterior chain work, and big athletes that need conditioning without getting beat up from running. One of the best high school strength coaches in the country, Coach Thomas Fahey Coach Fahey , shared a potentiation protocol with me using these. Coach Fahey has pushed these much heavier than I have and gotten incredible results with athletes. I have not personally run this exact protocol yet, but it was too interesting not to share. 2 minutes continuous marching at roughly 3 steps per second. Then immediately: 4–8 max height jumps. When jump height plateaus or drops off: Add a plate and repeat. If jumps improve again: Add another plate. Repeat for rounds 3, 4, 5… Constant tension. Short ROM. Low soreness. Very economical. You can load these brutally heavy without getting beat to pieces. I’ve also used these as conditioning intervals on machine belt squats while carrying sandbags. But the loading pin version still feels different. More foot. More ankle. More hip stabilization. More real world carryover. Best part? You can go brutally heavy safely. I personally have not pushed the limits on these yet. Coach Fahey has pushed them much harder with great results. I still think there’s another level there most people have not tapped into. Who else has messed with these?

Example of a true working set... You’re probably doing way more sets than you need Trust me ⁠ Back in high school and college, I would lift 7 days a week, doing anywhere from 30 to 50 sets per day I used to think those 30-50 sets were the key to growth, but over time, I realized that most of those weren’t true working sets ⁠ Here’s the thing... If you can do 4 sets of 8 reps with the same weight each set, you’re probably not pushing yourself hard enough A true working set should leave you near failure within the target rep range ⁠ For example, let’s say your plan calls for 2 sets of 6-8 reps After a few warm up sets, you try 135 lbs and hit 8 reps, but you know you could have done 6 more That’s still a warm up set since you’re not reaching failure in the 6-8 rep range You’d then go up to 145 lbs and aim to fail around 6-8 reps If 145 still feels too light, that’s another warm up set You keep going up in weight until you find the load that challenges you to fail within that 6-8 range If you don’t have a spotter, leaving one or two reps in the tank is okay ⁠ This is where true muscle growth happens, by pushing close to your limit Sleep and diet is actually where muscle growth occurs but you never push yourself hard enough in the gym and give your body a reason to grow, hypertrophy will never happen The gym is just the stimulus to give the muscle a reason to grow We then get bigger through sleep and diet ⁠ Back to the working sets... For example, in the video, I hit 540 lbs for 8 reps on this hack squat Looking back, I feel I had one or two reps left, but it’s a solid starting point and it was a new PR for me at the time The next week, I would aim for 540 for 9-10 reps or bump up the weight to 545-550 and try to hit 8 reps aka progressive overload ⁠ I typically keep my quad and hamstring workouts separate and do only about 4-7 sets per muscle group, but each set is intense, and I’m struggling by the last few reps on each set ⁠ Give this approach a shot, and I promise you won’t need nearly as many sets as you think

💔 MINNESOTA ICE SHOOTING DEVELOPMENT 💔 "AFTER LOSS, A GRANDFATHER STEPS FORWARD" By Maureen Steele with American Made Foundation When tragedy strikes a child twice, first through the loss of a father, then through the violent death of their mother, the question that follows is not ideological. It is elemental. Who will raise this child? For six-year-old Emerson, that question now rests at the feet of his grandfather, Tim Macklin, a Tennessee man whose life story is defined less by doctrine than by deeds. Two years ago, Emerson’s father, Timmy Ray Macklin Jr., died unexpectedly. While early public accounts described the death as suicide, his father disputes that characterization and maintains that his son did not take his own life, a point he says can be researched independently and remains unresolved in his mind. What is undisputed is the result: a young boy lost his father before he was old enough to understand what death means. I n the aftermath, Emerson remained with his mother, Renee Good. She had separated from Timmy Jr. prior to his death and entered a same sex relationship with another woman, Rebecca. According to Macklin, Renee took Emerson with her at that time, and the child lived with the couple for a period following his father’s death. Macklin does not describe either woman as cruel. He repeatedly acknowledges their kindness toward his grandson and expresses love for them both. But he does describe a growing sense of spiritual and moral distance, one that troubled him deeply as a grandfather who had already buried a son and feared losing his grandson in quieter ways. Then, in Minnesota, Renee Good was shot and killed during an encounter involving federal agents. Emerson was not present at the scene; he was at school that day. But in a single moment, the child lost his second parent. What followed was not a custody battle launched by lawyers or publicists. It was a grandfather asking, almost instinctively, for his grandson. “I need to get my grandchild,” Macklin recalls telling authorities when he first learned of the shooting. “He has nobody.” That statement was technically incorrect, Rebecca was still alive, but it reveals the urgency of a man who has spent years living in a posture of responsibility rather than entitlement. Macklin does not present himself as perfect. He speaks openly about a past marked by addiction, crime, and near-death experiences. He describes a dramatic religious conversion decades ago and a life since shaped by service rather than accumulation. Today, he and his family operate what amounts to an informal, faith-based refuge: housing homeless adults, taking in young people who have aged out of foster care, feeding the hungry, providing transportation, structure, and accountability. All this, without grants, government funding, or institutional backing. By his account, roughly twenty people currently live under roofs he helps maintain. Crucially, Macklin distinguishes carefully between those residences and his own home, where children live. He emphasizes safeguards, separation, and supervision, details that matter if the courts ever weigh the suitability of his household. His request is not framed as punishment for others or moral condemnation. It is framed as continuity. Emerson has blood family. He has grandparents, extended kin, siblings, and a stable home anchored by people who already raise children, run businesses, attend church, and live visibly accountable lives. Macklin’s argument is not that others are evil, but that blood, history, and demonstrated care still matter when deciding where a child belongs after loss. “I want my grandchild raised with family,” he says plainly. “And I want him safe.” There is no court order yet. No formal petition filed. Only a man who has already buried one generation asking not to lose another. In cases like this, modern systems often default to the most recent adult relationship rather than the deepest familial bond. But Emerson’s story raises a harder question, one that cannot be answered by ideology or politics: When a child has lost both parents, should the first call be to strangers of circumstance, or to the people who have spent their lives proving they will show up? For Tim Macklin, the answer is not theoretical. It is the work of his life. cc:MaryFlynnONeill First Lady Melania Trump

49ers - Chargers in the books. What a treat that practice was. Harbaugh, Shanahan, Purdy, Herbert and so much more... Highlights and *context*: 🏈49ers defense obviously needs Nick Bosa, but thankfully do they have Osa. SF struggled to set edges early; that led to some big Keaton Mitchell runs and play-action success for Herbert and Co. — including wide-open David Njoku TD and a Quentin Johnson TD vs Deommodore Lenoir 🏈That said, some of the deep-ball highlight clips (like Herbert to Brenen Thompson over Ji'Ayir Brown) floating online would've been Odighizuwa sacks. He lived in LA's backfield — but couldn't touch Herbert since it was practice 🏈Kaelon Black is back and has **impressive** burst. Immediately noticed the difference between him and 49ers' backup RBs of recent practices. Black also looks stronger than 208 pounds — that's a lot of muscle moving at a high rate of speed 🏈In red zone, 49ers QB Adrian Martinez hit Black on an angle route for a TD 🏈De'Zhaun Stribling made a sweet TD grab on a jump-ball fade from Mac Jones in RZ, although the 49ers saw relatively limited success there. They still have all the makings of a very good RZ team. "Hell yeah, Stribbles!" yelled a 49ers' O-linemen 🏈Jones threw an INT to LA CB Eric Rogers earlier. Pass was intended for 49ers WR Jordan Watkins, who was outmuscled by the 6-2 Rogers. Watkins later couldn't hold onto a desperation RZ heave from Purdy in the end zone that certainly gave him a chance 🏈In general, Jones has not been overly accurate this camp, but there were also misfires last year at this time. The guy proved himself as a gamer last season and the 49ers aren't worried 🏈Treated to a few Trent Williams vs Khalil Mack reps. Walking Hall of Famers 🏈Sweet run stuff from 49ers LB Garret Wallow, whom Fred Warner praised heavily, against LA RB Jarret Patterson 🏈49ers offense started hot but finished worse once practice graduated to move-the-ball sessions. Opposite was generally true on the other side, where the 49ers defense started better asserting itself later — included a Fred Warner punch out of Njoku 🏈Chargers DE Andre Carter II, who worked out for the 49ers a couple weeks ago, ripped past SF rookie LT Enrique Cruz Jr. on a RZ rep.

🚩RFK Jnr could have just handed NZ a wealth opportunity 1000 times better than Luxon’s crap India FTA. Will National & Labour to blow once in a lifetime opportunity to turbo charge our exports? The new dietary guidelines released by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on January 7, 2026, represents a once in a lifetime change in U.S. federal nutrition policy. The traditional food pyramid has been flipped to prioritise protein (red meat like steak and beef), full-fat dairy (such as whole milk and cheese), healthy fats, along with vegetables at the top. The guidelines explicitly encourage Americans to eat more "real food" and cut back on highly processed foods, added sugars, and refined grains. This overhaul is likely to drive up U.S. demand for dairy and red meat, the pyramid now has an emphasis on items like steak, ground beef (mince), and full-fat dairy could boost consumption further if adopted in federal programs like school lunches. For New Zealand exports, this could provide an unbelievable boost. NZ is a top global exporter of dairy (e.g., milk powder, cheese, butter) and red meat (beef and lamb), with the U.S. as a key market. The guidelines' focus on "whole, nutrient-dense" and minimally processed foods aligns well with NZ's grass-fed, pasture-raised products, which are often marketed as premium and natural alternatives to U.S. factory-farmed options. If U.S. demand rises, even with a strong push for domestic-only sourcing (not yet explicitly mentioned in the guidelines), NZ could still see massively increased export volumes and values because of our high-quality dairy and beef that fit the "real food" narrative, NZ has a ‘verifiable GE free’ status which sets us apart from Australia, Canada and Brazil. Last year our exports to the US was nearly $6 billion - with meat making up half that value. Last year we exported just over 500 million to India, with luxon floating we could see exports to India rise to $1.6 billion — over 15 YEARS. We could be selling more in meat to the US within 2 YEARS. Why is he intent on this crap deal with India, flooding us with immigrants and at the same time pushing GE and vaccinating cows in the name of “climate change” & ruining our premium product.? Because he’s a globalist Paris accord loving cuck. Watch Luxon talk garbage about reducing cows farting with experimental lab grass. Once we do this, there’s no going back.

🚩RFK Jnr could have just handed NZ a wealth opportunity 1000 times better than Luxon’s crap India FTA. Will National & Labour to blow once in a lifetime opportunity to turbo charge our exports? The new dietary guidelines released by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on January 7, 2026, represents a once in a lifetime change in U.S. federal nutrition policy. The traditional food pyramid has been flipped to prioritise protein (red meat like steak and beef), full-fat dairy (such as whole milk and cheese), healthy fats, along with vegetables at the top. The guidelines explicitly encourage Americans to eat more "real food" and cut back on highly processed foods, added sugars, and refined grains. This overhaul is likely to drive up U.S. demand for dairy and red meat, the pyramid now has an emphasis on items like steak, ground beef (mince), and full-fat dairy could boost consumption further if adopted in federal programs like school lunches.

🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC - Reporting Window: 3/19 to 3/20 • Israel widened the strike set inside Iran again, hitting regime infrastructure in Tehran and other cities, while Iranian and Israeli reporting indicated strikes tied to Parchin, Arak, Kerman, Isfahan, Bandar e Lengeh, and northern maritime infrastructure. Iranian state media also said IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini was killed. • Iran kept up repeated missile pressure on Israel with at least eight attack waves during the day, including fresh central and northern barrages, a hit on the Haifa refinery, and cluster impacts in Rehovot. • The Gulf energy war moved from shock to quantified long term damage after Reuters reported that strikes have knocked out 17% of Qatar’s LNG export capacity for an estimated three to five years. • Washington is pushing harder to reopen Hormuz, with Jerusalem Post reporting that A-10s and Apache helicopters are now actively hunting Iranian fast attack craft and one way attack drones on the southern flank. • Lebanon remained fully active, with Israel pressing Hezbollah farther north, striking bridges and financial infrastructure, while Hezbollah kept up rocket fire into the Galilee and confrontation line communities. The past 24 hours were defined by three concrete changes. First, Israel kept pushing the regime-targeting campaign inside Iran, while Netanyahu publicly argued Tehran can no longer enrich uranium or build missiles. Second, Iran maintained a high-frequency missile rhythm into Israel, especially the center and north, even if the salvo sizes remain smaller than the early-war pattern. Third, the Hormuz front became more operationally explicit, with U.S. airpower now openly being described as hunting maritime and drone threats rather than simply deterring them from range. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 IRAN: ISRAEL KEPT PUSHING UP THE REGIME LADDER The clearest military development was the continued broad strike pattern inside Iran. Israeli reporting indicated another wide strike wave across Tehran and multiple provincial targets, while Iranian media said IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini was killed. Times of Israel’s live coverage also tied that to the larger Israeli claim that Iran can no longer enrich uranium or manufacture ballistic missiles at meaningful scale, a claim Netanyahu repeated publicly on Thursday. Open source intelligence reporting tracked the same pattern in real time, with repeated references to strikes across Tehran, central Iran, and Bandar e Lengeh, plus reporting around Caspian-facing assets and internal security targets. The exact damage at every site remains uneven in open reporting, but the broader point is clear: this was another multi-city infrastructure wave, not a single symbolic hit. Why this matters: Israel still does not appear to be in a wind-down phase. It is continuing to widen target categories inside Iran, including command, propaganda, maritime, and military-support infrastructure. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 ISRAEL: EIGHT ATTACK WAVES, REHOVOT HITS, AND THE NORTH UNDER PRESSURE The missile story today is not just that Iran kept firing. It is that it kept repeating the pattern across the day. Ynet reported an eighth Iranian attack wave since morning, with missiles targeting central and northern Israel and a home in Rehovot catching fire. Times of Israel’s live coverage separately reported two lightly wounded in a cluster impact in Rehovot, while Reuters reported a hit at the Haifa refinery that caused localized damage and a brief power disruption. Open source intelligence mirror that picture strongly. It tracked a very broad northern alert footprint overnight, including Haifa Bay, the Galilee, the Golan, Kiryat Shmona, and other confrontation line communities. It also showed concurrent Hezbollah fire into the north during part of the same window. Why this matters: Iran is still not restoring early-war barrage size. But it is maintaining tactical pressure through repetition, cluster effects, and geographic spread. The center and north were both under meaningful stress in this window. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇱🇧 LEBANON: ISRAEL IS PUSHING HEZBOLLAH NORTH, BUT THE FRONT IS STILL ACTIVE The Lebanon front remains deeply relevant to the daily operational picture. The Jerusalem Post reported that Israel is pushing Hezbollah farther north in Lebanon, buying time but not yet real security. Reuters also described continued strikes on Litani River crossings and Hezbollah-linked infrastructure. Open reporting from the IDF side continued to emphasize strikes on launchers, logistics buildings, and al-Qard al-Hasan financial nodes, which Israel regards as part of Hezbollah’s operational backbone. At the same time, Times of Israel’s live coverage reported Hezbollah rocket fire into the Galilee, and your files showed continued sirens around Kiryat Shmona and surrounding communities. That means this is not a one-way Israeli shaping campaign. Hezbollah still retains enough firepower to keep the northern home front active even as Israel pushes the line northward. Why this matters: The northern front is still not stabilizing. Israel may be improving the tactical geometry, but the home-front pressure problem has not disappeared. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛢 GULF ENERGY WAR: THE DAMAGE IS NOW MEASURABLE, AND THE THREATS ARE CONTINUING Reuters reported that the strikes on Qatar’s Ras Laffan complex have knocked out 17% of Qatar’s LNG export capacity for three to five years. That is not a temporary disruption story anymore. It is now a medium-term supply loss story with major implications for Asia and Europe. At the same time, Al Jazeera’s live coverage and other regional reporting indicate Tehran is still explicitly warning that strikes will intensify if more energy infrastructure is targeted. Open source intelligence sources also continued to track fire and damage reporting around Qatari gas infrastructure and broader Gulf-site alerts. Newly released satellite-image reporting also supports the scale argument. The visible damage footprint now spans multiple countries and sectors, reinforcing that this is no longer just a shipping or tanker story but a regional infrastructure war. Why this matters: The energy front is no longer just a lever of pressure. It is now a source of lasting physical damage with global supply implications. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇺🇸 HORMUZ: THE U.S. IS NOW FIGHTING THE MARITIME BATTLE MORE OPENLY This is one of the most important additions from today’s news cycle. The Jerusalem Post reported that A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft are now hunting Iranian fast-attack craft in the Strait of Hormuz, while AH-64 Apaches and allied helicopters are handling one-way attack drones along the southern flank. CENTCOM video also showed direct strikes on Iranian naval assets threatening shipping. That matters because it moves the Hormuz story out of the realm of diplomatic coalition talk alone. The U.S. is now describing an active, tactical maritime fight against Iranian disruption capabilities. Why this matters: The Hormuz front is no longer just about deterrence. It is now about active suppression of Iranian naval and drone threats in and around the strait. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛️ POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC SHIFTS: ENDGAME GAPS ARE GETTING CLEARER Times of Israel reported that Netanyahu said Iran can no longer enrich uranium or build missiles and that Israel is holding off further energy-site strikes at Trump’s request. Reuters reporting already pointed to growing daylight between U.S. and Israeli endgame preferences, and today’s coverage makes that divergence easier to see. The diplomatic picture also hardened in Israel’s favor in one important respect. The Jerusalem Post reported that six additional countries designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization after discussions with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar. That does not change the battlefield directly, but it does matter politically, especially if the war stretches on and sanctions or legal pressure become more important. Why this matters: The battlefield may still be aligned between Washington and Jerusalem, but the political end state is being defined differently, and Israel is still trying to widen the diplomatic cost for the IRGC internationally. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏠 ISRAELI HOME FRONT: CIVILIAN AND INTERNAL SECURITY PRESSURE REMAINS REAL Two domestic stories are worth noting briefly. First, Ynet reported that from Tuesday, holiday school will operate only in “yellow” areas that choose to open. That is a reminder that the civilian normalization story remains partial and geographically uneven. Second, Times of Israel reported that an Iron Dome reservist was indicted for spying for Iran and allegedly passed details about Iron Dome, Israeli air bases, and battery locations to Iranian intelligence. That is not a battlefield event, but it is an important internal-security story in the middle of an active missile war. Why this matters: The war is still being fought on the home front not only through sirens and impacts, but also through educational disruption and espionage risk. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 WHAT MATTERS MOST RIGHT NOW 1️⃣ Israel kept widening the regime target set inside Iran. This was another broad infrastructure and command-layer strike wave, not a limited aftershock. 2️⃣ Iran maintained high-frequency missile pressure on Israel. Eight waves in a day, cluster impacts in Rehovot, and a Haifa refinery hit show that lower volume still does not mean low danger. 3️⃣ The Hormuz fight is now more openly operational. A-10s and Apaches are not diplomatic signaling. They are evidence that the U.S. is directly suppressing Iranian maritime disruption assets. 4️⃣ The Gulf energy war is now a lasting damage story. Ras Laffan is not just disrupted. It is materially degraded for years. Bottom line: The last 24 hours were not just another round of attrition. Israel kept pressing deeper into regime infrastructure, Iran sustained repeated pressure on the Israeli home front, the U.S. made the Hormuz battle more overt, and the Gulf energy war became more durable and harder to contain.

Been discussion on Blessing Adeoye Jr. of Kinda Funny taking issue with #Xbox going to Jez Corden of Windows Central, for new CEO Asha Sharma's interview. Don't think it's "jealousy" contrary to Xbox fandom musings. He listed numerous far more reputable journalists/outlets for the task, with no mention of Kinda Funny. Instead, think it's a matter of credibility and authenticity. Jez's often referred to as an Xbox and Microsoft "shill" with good reason (reasons later). Even by important figures such as Obsidian's co-founder. Xbox going to Jez signals they wanted controlled PR and favoured narratives, not opportunities for hard hitting insight or truth. Inadvertently very revealing. Xbox's moves this last week let us know how Xbox is still operating. +First Asha immediately begins aggressive toxic parasocial antics and "I'm one of you!" PR on social media that Xbox execs are famed for, to evangelise the fandom and have them run positive PR. +She creates a new Gamertag just a month ago with very irregular play, later admits it was a shared account played by others. +Her X responses seem robotic and inorganic. +Xbox have Tom Warren (another Xbox leaning journalist) of The Verge run a hit piece attempting to scapegoat Sarah Bond, which doesn't stand up to scrutiny. +In Satya Nadella's very long statement on the shake ups, Sarah Bond isn't mentioned once. +Asha's first interview is with Jez. +Messaging is a whole load of nothing. Teases things fans want to hear without actually committing to changes. What this all indirectly tells us is it's the same slippery and not so authentic Xbox, and we shouldn't really put much stock into anything they or their execs are currently saying. Only folk who are going to be won over by this controlled PR are the same naive echo chamber Xbox hopefuls who've fallen for or parrot every Xbox narrative/PR, despite countless flip flops, pivots and failings. So why's Jez Corden discredited or seen as an Xbox "shill" by so many? Myriad reasons. This is the same guy who said: +Development on Everwild was going well, gameplay loop was nailed and we'd see it soon, before it was cancelled shortly after. +He wasn't worried about The Initiative or Perfect Dark based on research he'd done, despite layoffs/Crystal Dynamics stuff.

The Notorious B.I.G. left two children when he was killed in 1997‼️. Both are now adults building lives that honor the name without trying to be him‼️. T’yanna Dream Wallace (born August 1993) is Biggie’s daughter with high-school sweetheart Jan Jackson‼️. She was three when he died‼️. She does not rap. She builds businesses around the legacy instead‼️. She launched Notoriouss Clothing in Brooklyn years ago and still runs it‼️. In 2021 she co-founded Juicy Pizza in Los Angeles with Jam Master Jay’s daughter‼️. In 2024 she opened The Biggie Experience, a permanent immersive exhibit on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn with memorabilia, awards, clothing, and recreations of the world that shaped her father‼️. She has talked about using the space for community programs as well‼️. Her newest project is Big Poppa’s, a Caribbean-infused steakhouse in Midtown Manhattan named after one of his most famous tracks and after a restaurant idea he talked about before he died‼️. She held a private tasting on March 9, 2026 — the anniversary of his death with family, Lil’ Kim, Lil’ Cease, and Junior M.A.F.I.A. members in the room‼️. Grand opening is slated for later in 2026‼️. She is a mother‼️. Her daughter Thailah was born around 2021‼️. She has spoken about wanting the child to know who her grandfather was‼️. Reports have linked her to Tyshawn Baldwin‼️. She lives in the New York area and holds a contractual 25 percent share of distributions from Notorious B.I.G., LLC after the catalog deal with Primary Wave‼️. Christopher Jordan “CJ” Wallace Jr. (born October 29, 1996) is Biggie’s son with Faith Evans‼️. He was five months old when his father was murdered‼️. He played a young version of Biggie in the 2009 biopic *Notorious*, then took roles in films such as *Kicks* and the third season of *Scream*‼️. In 2023 he appeared on *MTV’s Family Legacy* with the Combs brothers‼️. His main lane now is entrepreneurship and advocacy‼️. With his stepfather Todd Russaw he co-founded Think BIG, a cannabis and hemp company that also pushes criminal-justice and cannabis-reform work‼️. The brand includes Frank White products, named after Biggie’s alter ego‼️. He has described the work as part of trying to understand his father as a man, not just a legend‼️. He also has a 25 percent distribution interest in the same LLC‼️. As of late August 2026 he is in court over his grandmother Voletta Wallace’s estate‼️. Voletta died February 21, 2025. CJ filed in Pennsylvania arguing that a codicil signed February 6, 2025 — 15 days before her death removed him and T’yanna from key inheritance and trustee roles and installed Wayne Barrow, Biggie’s former manager, as executor‼️. He says his grandmother was in declining health and on medication, and that the signatures look inconsistent‼️. Separate Delaware proceedings involve control of her trust and the company that holds the catalog‼️. The fight is active and unresolved‼️. He has also been pulled into other litigation: a 2025 lawsuit by producer Jonathan Hay alleging involvement with Sean Combs in an assault (both men deny it), followed by CJ’s own defamation countersuit‼️. Those cases are ongoing‼️. He has no publicly known children‼️. The two siblings have appeared together at openings and estate events and have described themselves as each other’s biggest supporters‼️. Neither chased a music career‼️. Both have stakes in the catalog business that now includes a major Primary Wave partnership‼️. The current chapter is part building (clothing, pizza, museum, restaurant, cannabis brand) and part fighting over how their grandmother’s final wishes and their father’s intellectual property are controlled‼️. That fight is the most public thing either of them is doing right now‼️.

In 2024 she opened The Biggie Experience, a permanent immersive exhibit on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn with memorabilia, awards, clothing, and recreations of the world that shaped her father‼️. She has talked about using the space for community programs as well‼️. Her newest project is Big Poppa’s, a Caribbean-infused steakhouse in Midtown Manhattan named after one of his most famous tracks and after a restaurant idea he talked about before he died‼️. She held a private tasting on March 9, 2026 — the anniversary of his death with family, Lil’ Kim, Lil’ Cease, and Junior M.A.F.I.A. members in the room‼️. Grand opening is slated for later in 2026‼️. She is a mother‼️. Her daughter Thailah was born around 2021‼️. She has spoken about wanting the child to know who her grandfather was‼️. Reports have linked her to Tyshawn Baldwin‼️. She lives in the New York area and holds a contractual 25 percent share of distributions from Notorious B.I.G., LLC after the catalog deal with Primary Wave‼️. Christopher Jordan “CJ” Wallace Jr. (born October 29, 1996) is Biggie’s son with Faith Evans‼️. He was five months old when his father was murdered‼️. He played a young version of Biggie in the 2009 biopic *Notorious*, then took roles in films such as *Kicks* and the third season of *Scream*‼️. In 2023 he appeared on *MTV’s Family Legacy* with the Combs brothers‼️. His main lane now is entrepreneurship and advocacy‼️. With his stepfather Todd Russaw he co-founded Think BIG, a cannabis and hemp company that also pushes criminal-justice and cannabis-reform work‼️. The brand includes Frank White products, named after Biggie’s alter ego‼️. He has described the work as part of trying to understand his father as a man, not just a legend‼️. He also has a 25 percent distribution interest in the same LLC‼️. As of late August 2026 he is in court over his grandmother Voletta Wallace’s estate‼️. Voletta died February 21, 2025. CJ filed in Pennsylvania arguing that a codicil signed February 6, 2025 — 15 days before her death removed him and T’yanna from key inheritance and trustee roles and installed Wayne Barrow, Biggie’s former manager, as executor‼️. He says his grandmother was in declining health and on medication, and that the signatures look inconsistent‼️. Separate Delaware proceedings involve control of her trust and the company that holds the catalog‼️. The fight is active and unresolved‼️. He has also been pulled into other litigation: a 2025 lawsuit by producer Jonathan Hay alleging involvement with Sean Combs in an assault (both men deny it), followed by CJ’s own defamation countersuit‼️. Those cases are ongoing‼️. He has no publicly known children‼️. The two siblings have appeared together at openings and estate events and have described themselves as each other’s biggest supporters‼️. Neither chased a music career‼️. Both have stakes in the catalog business that now includes a major Primary Wave partnership‼️. The current chapter is part building (clothing, pizza, museum, restaurant, cannabis brand) and part fighting over how their grandmother’s final wishes and their father’s intellectual property are controlled‼️. That fight is the most public thing either of them is doing right now‼️.
