This woke me up this am, a text from my uncle. “Everyone is complaining that baseball is broken because the Dodgers got Tarik Skubal.” Bruce Harper says it best here. I don’t remember people complaining about a needed salary cap in MLB when the Yankees were winning 4 World...

The Roki Sasaki situation is complicated, and it's not as simple as making it black and white. Sasaki, unquestionably, has NOT performed well enough as a starter to deserve a spot in the opening day rotation. But, he was KEY in the World Series title last year, AND, he took WAY less money to join the Dodgers. He did that because he believed in the Dodgers' developmental system, and he felt as if he could grow the most under the Dodgers instruction. He also wanted to play with Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Beyond that, I'm sure, as part of the sales pitch, the Dodgers assured him a spot in the rotation, because they were the only organization that could "logistically" implement a 6-man rotation. They can do that because Ohtani is a 2-way player, so, in essence, they can have 14 pitchers. So, to get Sasaki to sign, especially considering he was signing early, and thus, had to sign a Minor League contract, their HAD to be promises made. One could assume the Dodgers assured him a spot in the rotation, and, more importantly, a role as a starter. And, you have to understand, one of the secret sauces for the Dodgers with Free Agents is that they have developed a remarkable reputation for delivering on the promises they make. That alone is a MAJOR factor as to why the Dodgers are THE destination for Free Agents. And the ability to acquire the CORRECT Free Agents can NOT be understated as to the impact it's made in creating this dynasty. So, to move Sasaki either to the pen or to AAA, they would have to back out on a promise made, and one that was instrumental in his signing with the Dodgers instead of the Padres or any other organization. It's truly a "rock and a hard place" because you have everyone else on the "merit system" and pitchers being sent to OKC that deserve better, meanwhile, Sasaki is getting preferential treatment. Then, on top of all that, one of the LARGEST parts of this dynasty construction has been capturing the Asian market, specifically the Japanese market. The Dodgers have done such great work capturing that audience, and because of it, they are swimming in both money AND championships. It's been a 100% Win/Win, and surely NO ONE would want to upset that Apple Cart. Especially over a 6th starter, who has potential, as he showed in the playoffs last year? And on a team that could win 100+ games and win the Division by double digits? Even if he doesn't pitch well! Even if he pitches well in just 1/2 his outings, the Dodgers might win 110ish games if everything else plays out the way it should. That's the "rock and a hard place" that I see, and I can see both sides of it. For me, it just kind of "Is What It Is, and I trust the Front Office to massage this situation in a way that works for everyone in the long run. #dodgers

It’s like a game of charades. One word, three syllables, sounds like corruption. The word that must not be voiced. Because the ruling class and their pawns in the parliament don't like to be called out for their obvious bad deeds. Australia is not a sovereign nation anymore. It is just a mining outpost for the global corporatocracy. The leadership here at federal, state and local levels do the same things and work for the same people. It does not matter which of them you elect, things only get worse. We have finally caught up with the US and UK, insofar as the middle-class is being erased. There are two distinct camps forming, the very rich and politically connected, and everyone else. It didn’t happen overnight. It has been decades in the making and both major parties have spurred it on. But the corruption does not stop with them. It exists across the political and corporate landscape. Questions not posed for fear of the answers. They dress it up in parliamentary procedure but that is a convenient way to maintain the appearance that they are beyond reproach. You can’t rise in parliament and call out corruption, because they all supposedly deserve the benefit of the doubt. What a laugh. They address each other as “The Honourable”. They give each other deference and practice “just us” in place of true justice. Albanese is just the last in a very long line of grifting clowns that feathered their nests, and those of their friends, and families via influence and authority. But don’t make the mistake of questioning it, because it might bring down the whole house of cards - as we see them for what they truly are. They use legislation to their benefit. They cover up their misdeeds and they regale us with stories of problems solved. But it is all just a lie. You can’t stuff up this much for this long by accident. Albanese certainly did trade his investments before he changed the tax system. I’m sure many others did too. But that’s just a whisper, and to be fair, it is the least of their crimes on the Australian people. We need a giant broom to go through Canberra and the States. We need the local councils fully audited and we need new people that understand what selfless service really means. I just want Australia back.

. Dan Bongino explains there are people within the administration working against Trump and his agenda. They are gearing up for their own political runs. That much is clear. He makes a very important point here, why are all the leaks specifically designed to push the narrative that Trump doesn’t control his own administration? That is not a leftist talking point because the left doesn’t care if he controls the administration or not all they care about is dunking on the administration. This is a talking point from the walk right because the woke Wright wants to remake the Republican Party and remake the agenda the way they do that is by pretending like when Trump tells you this is his agenda. He doesn’t really mean it because he’s just not powerful enough to stand up to whoever’s running the show. They say this without an iota of proof, and then they leaked stories that make it more plausible for you to believe that, even though every single one of these stories blows up in their face. Who are the leakers? A lot of people have a lot of great ideas as to who they really are based on the money movement and the campaigns that are being prepared for takeoff as soon as possible for the 2028 election cycle. I have learned this year that politics is the single dirtiest most disgusting game that exists, and the lengths to which people will go will shock you and I am a person who is already jaded about the entire political arena. That being said, this is still the single greatest country in the world, and we have to fight for the agenda that we voted for and not give up.

Lecture in Kabul about Shia vs Sunni (rough translation); This is a hot topic today, let us pray that Allah (swt) removes this enmity and animosity between us. The Muslim Ummah has been destroyed by this jealousy, grudge and enmity. It has destroyed our unity. It is the English who have turned us against each other, they have spread suspicion between sects and schools of thoughts. Let us remember that this war which America and Israel is waging is not against Shias, it is a war against Islam. America and Israel are thinking about destroying Islam. They are not thinking about “this is Shia and this is Sunni”. They did this in Iraq, pelting Shias and Sunnis against each other. They did the same in Syria. They were here in Afghanistan for 20 years, where was the talk about Shia? Were they talking and fighting Shias? No. The sole purpose of America and Israel is to make Muslims weak. Because for 1,200 years in this world, it was Muslims running empires. Muslims were powerful rulers under the banner of Islam. So America and Israel don’t want Muslims to stand on their feet again and become rulers of the world. If someone raises his head as a Muslim, they take care of them right there and then. There must be few thousand people in this majlis, forgive my language, they either take out the head, or take out the bottom (castrate then). They have castrated many countries, they have castrated the Arab countries, including Pakistan. I hope no one says that is a Muslim country with an atom bomb, no, Pakistan is castrated. The atom bomb is not under its own control, it is under the control of the English and Americans. They say we will either chop the head of a Muslim, or chop the bottom of a Muslim. One of them must be chopped. And this is what they have done. Have they done this or not? Tell the truth. All Arab countries have turned themselves like animals with four legs and have handed over the leash to America. Have they done this or not? Its leash is in the hand of America. They can’t even raise their voice a little, to show that they are independent, and to show that their heads are on top of their own neck, they cannot say anything. Does slavery have a tail and horn? Is this true or not, tell the truth? Allah (swt) says; “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power” In that era, it was swords, horses, armors, helmets, this was in the era of the prophet (pbuh). Now, those things will not work. Today, even a gun is not sufficient, now it is missiles, drones, atom bombs, press a switch and it goes to its destination. This is an order from Allah that Muslims should prepare against the enemy, and deter the enemy. Don’t start problems between each other over sects, otherwise you will be finished. Allah has said to us in the Quran; “and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart” You will be destroyed, your strength will be gone. This strength will be wasted and lost against each other. Is this true or not? These bullets, these weapons and martyrs from this side, and in that side, Pakistan fights Afghanistan under the command of America, right? They are Muslim, at least they are Muslim by name, it is a Muslim country, so wouldn’t it have been better if this strength, if those bullets and weapons were used against Israel and the enemies of Muslims? But our strength is being used against each other. How unfortunate is this? Whose plots are these? The plots of the English. They say muddy the water, and catch the fish…

Victor Davis Hanson just dropped the single most definitive explanation for the chaos in Belfast and cities across the West. In two minutes flat, he exposed how DEI, open borders and failure to assimilate have created a powder keg that’s now exploding. HANSON: “It’s a reminder that DEI or racial chauvinism, ethnic chauvinism combined with open borders and mass immigration from illiberal societies is a recipe for disaster.” “And nobody condones the counter-riots but when you bring in people from antithetical cultures and you tell them upon arrival they don’t have to acculturate, integrate or assimilate but they have grudges against their hosts because they feel that they are victimized and you lavish social entitlements upon them and you make them exempt from any consequences of their illiberal behavior, then you get what we’ve seen there.” “We’ve got to remember, both in the United States and in Europe, especially the U.K., we’re 60 years, three generations from the civil rights acts and their versions of them.” “So we’ve got three generations of people in their 40s 50s and 60s that grew up with reverse discrimination and they didn’t know anything about segregation or institutionalized racism.” “All they know is that their job opportunities were curtailed because there was this new idea of equality of result.” “Where people based on their skin color or ethnic origins or whether they were migrants or something, they had preferential treatment and yet they were paying for the sins of prior generations.” “That’s what they felt.” “And then finally there was a class element to it.” “The elites crafted this system to bring in constituents dependent on state largesse but they were never subject to the consequences of our own terrible ideology because they had the money and the zip codes and the resources to protect themselves from that kind of violence that we saw.” “They made it worse by insulting the White working class as if they are illiberal and neanderthal, when they created the conditions and they were immune from them and now they don’t know what to do because they realize it’s blowing up in their face.” “Both there and in the United States.”
