This morning, Stephen A Smith undressed the Vikings and put KOC on the hot seat for choosing McCarthy over Darnold last offseason, accusing MN of throwing away their 2025 season and "jeopardizing the career of Justin Jefferson" in the process... 👀 "Two bad games... and you threw [Sam Darnold] to the wolves... That's why their GM is gone, that's why Kevin O'Connell no longer should be called the QB whisperer, that's why he's lucky to have his job... Bottom line is, the Vikings threw away a football season and jeopardized the career of Justin Jefferson by [choosing McCarthy over Darnold]." PRESSURE MOUNTING IN EAGAN... | 🎥: First Take

Republicans just blocked my attempt to force the release of the video of the 'second strike' that killed shipwrecked survivors on September 2nd. This is their latest move to provide cover for this administration as it drags us closer to war with Venezuela. We've seen the videos of other strikes, even the first one from that day. Why not this one?

Gotta shout out Keyshawn Johnson for educating the people. "They did what they needed to do. This is why Kellen Moore is with the Chargers, and Mike McCarthy is calling plays... You gotta look at the game plan." - Keyshawn Johnson Everything Mike McCarthy does is about winning. He's literally been saying this since he was hired but the Cowboys. So whatever stats you want to see from Dak or the offense literally only matter insofar as they impact the likelihood of a W. Sunday, the Cowboys won without a flashy offense. They'll certainly improve on some things that might be more important down the road, but in Week 1. They simply did what they needed to do.

🚨WATCH: My FULL speech from today’s press conference🚨 Mike Johnson is exactly what is wrong with the Republican establishment. He is the Uniparty Speaker. He has done nothing for conservatives and given everything to Joe Biden and Democrats. Hakeem Jeffries and the Dems have endorsed Johnson as their Speaker, and that’s why I’ll be calling the vote to remove him next week.

Don’t forget, the Washington Commanders didn’t care about the Ravens’ 24-game preseason win streak. That’s why they played their first-team offense against the Ravens’ second- and third-team defenses for the entire first half. That’s also why G Sam Cosmi went from saying nobody gives a “s**t” about the “stupid record" … to doing The Griddy in the end zone when his starting unit scored on Ravens backups. That’s why K Joey Slye gestured an L to the sideline after his game-winning field goal. That’s why new co-owner Magic Johnson posted about how much fun it was to break the streak. That’s why WR Jahan Dotson said in the locker room afterward: “I feel like we just had the biggest preseason win in history.” It’s all because they didn’t care.

Sam Altman: “Hire for values first, aptitude second, and skills third.” Most executive recruiters, Sam argues, will reverse this order: “If you say I need to hire a CFO, they will bring you people with 20 years of experience as a CFO at vaguely similar companies. But unfortunately, it’s usually like 20 years of the exact same year of experience over and over again.” But if you’re trying to scale fast, values are most important: “You really need someone who is aligned with the values of the company so that when things change or when they have to make a decision, they’ll make the one you would make if you can’t be there or they will be a good team player and go do that thing.” Sam continues: “You need someone who has high aptitude because the role is going to constantly shift. And the rate of learning - the rate of improvement - dominates skills.” And then skills obviously matter, but for Sam it’s third on the list: “The very best companies take this exceptionally far in how much they’re willing to hire a non-traditionally qualified executive.” Source: Y Combinator (May 2017)

This team was down by 7 runs in the last inning. They made a comeback and scored the winning run by this young man stealing home. 👏 This is why as a catcher, you never throw the ball back to the pitcher from your knees with runners on base. You always stand and take a look at the runner, ESPECIALLY with a runner on third and in this scenario, the game winning run. That’s poor coaching imho. It’s the little fundamentals that are coached in practice that add up to whether a team is prepared or not for the games. Where was the coach telling his catcher to keep an eye on the runner at third?

This is the best Hezbollah FPV operation so far, and there are a few notes to consider. First, this highly sophisticated and complex operation, executed with full accuracy, shows how Hezbollah operatives have been trained, learning and improving. Hitting a moving car directly in its windshield is not easy; it requires extensive training. Second, this operation (like one from weeks ago) is multi-stage. The first drone hits, then the second drone waiting nearby comes in to strike additional targets. In Ukraine, this tactic was used for "second strikes," where after an initial hit, the second drone waits nearby for soldiers to arrive to observe the damage or aid the wounded, then strikes—sometimes even a third or fourth. It is basically a drone ambush. Here, likewise, the first gathers intelligence then hits, the second targets the chosen objective, a third hits, and another records video. In short, the operation inflicts human and material casualties and, most importantly, achieves media warfare showing that "Hezbollah can strike anywhere anytime."

" The biggest shocker to me is that consumers didn't care about savings at all. It was like out of the top four or five things, it was number five. People cared more about the time, the energy, the anxiety than anything else and most people said, based on the service, that if I saved them five grand, I could take half of it." Some car buyers are choosing to work with third party negotiators. Tomislav Mikula, Founder of Delivrd, explains why certain dealers still take the call to move deals faster without the usual back and forth.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sen. Mike Lee just walked out and RIPPED the Senate for taking another 2 week recess, calling on Leader Thune to CANCEL IT for the SAVE America Act "Why are we taking a recess right now?! Why on EARTH is the Senate wanting to recess for two WEEKS?" "Now, I get it. America's 250th birthday is coming up. That's great. It's all the more reason why we should finish our work. It's all the more reason why we should finish, do everything we possibly can to pass the SAVE America Act instead of recessing for two weeks." 🔥 "Only come back and work for a few weeks and then recess for another five or six weeks after that!" "Why? Why even bother to spend all this time and all this effort campaigning and running for office if when we get here we're constantly taking a recess!" "A recess at a moment when the Republican Party controls the House and the Senate and the White House. Why? Why do we do this?!" "There's got to be a better way, a way that doesn't constantly involve saying, oh wait, we've got to take a recess, we've got to leave." "The American people deserve better than this. They deserve to have free and fair elections and we've got to fix it."

Nurses have a common saying in medicine: When patients go unresponsive, or their vital signs become dangerous, it often happens 30 minutes AFTER they take their blood pressure pills. For decades, doctors have mindlessly put tens of millions on BP meds without ever considering why their blood pressure is high to begin with. In 90–95% of cases, people are diagnosed with high blood pressure and put on medication with “no known cause.” Blood pressure is treated as the problem itself, not a signal of an underlying issue. And that’s where everything starts to go wrong. 🧵

‘Assisted Dying’ Committee: Dutch expert reveals the emerging horrors of Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide in his country. Sometimes a short news video clip might not capture the nuance of discussion at Oireachtas Committee hearings. The RTE News coverage of Tuesday's hearing is a case in point. Prof Theo Boer had a lot to say about ‘Assisted Dying’ and Euthanasia in his own country. The big takeaway is that Euthanasia becomes the last resort for people afflicted by loneliness and fear: ‘In the past 20 years, the numbers have quadrupled and… the increase seems to accelerate rather than slow down. In some neighbourhoods assisted deaths account for between 15% and 20% of all deaths.’ ‘The second development we have seen is an expansion of the pathologies - the reasons underlying a request to die … we see a shift to patients who fear years or decades of loneliness, alienation and care dependency… This expansion is motivated - this is important for the committee, as Members of Parliament, to take into account - by a logic of justice, the question as to why euthanasia is provided only for terminal patients, for example?... After all, a person can suffer very much for non-medical reasons as well.’ ‘That is why we have now a law in parliament that legalises Euthanasia for all people over 74 years, with or without an illness…Their age is the only reason they can have 'Assisted Dying'. That in turn is why we now have a regulation that allows parents to request Euthanasia for their young children aged from zero to 11 years old. I am convinced it is only a matter of time before we take the next hurdle, namely, allowing children of dementia patients to request Euthanasia for their demented parents.’ ‘There is a saying that people can live 30 days without eating, three days without drinking, three minutes without oxygen but not three seconds without hope. Sometimes it is the total absence of hope, either in the persons themselves or in their surroundings, that contributes to their suffering.’ For those who are involved in suicide prevention work, or in keeping hope alive for elderly people, or who are committed to caring professions which are built on hope, I recommend you pay attention to these Oireachtas hearings (see Attached is a short clip of my own engagement with Prof Boer at the Committee on Tuesday. To legalise ‘Assisted Dying’ is to hinder hope and drive despair.
