AZ: “If I pay $7,000 for America, it’s… I don’t care.” I talked extensively with 20-year-old “Os” (short for Osama) from Morocco who says because he paid money to get here, Americans can pay to help them. He tells me he was a streamer/gamer in his country and is hoping to drive Uber in New York where he says he has friends. He says he wants to pay into the system and work, despite not legally being able to do so—He and another guy from Morocco say they will “easily” find a way to make money here. He says he would rather kill himself than go back to Morocco because there was “no future” there—He and others also expressed their gratitude and love for President Donald J. Trump None of the individuals I spoke to from Africa knew about the CBP One App that allows migrants to sign up for “legal entry” through a port when they are in Central America and Mexico—Os allegedly traveled through both.

🇷🇺⚰️☠️ "I saw people being 'annulled' (killed) right before my eyes, I saw our own people killing them. They promised me they would kill me too, they aimed weapons at me.... 🔹 Russian serviceman Nikita Nekrasov (born 12.08.2005) spoke about the catastrophic illegality in his unit and the Russian armed forces. He stated that he will appeal to the military prosecutor's office and wants to testify about the events he witnessed, as well as what happened to him personally. The soldier notes that he was stationed in the Vovchansk direction—— 🔹 Nikita claims that during his mandatory military service he was forced to sign a contract, although the document is not signed by his own hand; he demands a review of the documentation and states that the signature is forged. He also noted that the unit does not pay any monetary compensation, does not pay for injuries, and does not send soldiers to the hospital. 🔹 According to the Russian soldier, he witnessed the murder of his own friend: the soldier was shot in front of him after he called the parents of the deceased to inform them about their children's deaths. 📌 "The commander, a colonel, shot him in the head and said there would be no compensation payment and they do not intend to pay." 🔹 Nekrasov noted that they were forced to step on anti-personnel mines and forced to perform actions he perceived as a death sentence. He also noted that soldiers were stripped of their belongings and only left with their phones and passports. Nikita claims that he saw soldiers being killed by their own comrades. Out of fear for his life, he decided to escape from the military unit - "People from my unit can come at any time, take me away and just 'annul' me. I am afraid to return to my unit because of this whole situation."

Chicago Bears: The Deep Ball Façade As a Chicago Bears truther, I gotta keep it 💯 There are many Bears fans posting “Amazing” out of the pocket deep ball highlights of Caleb Williams Obviously, we don’t see those kinds of throws everyday. It’s insane!! But deep ball playmaking isn’t new to Chicago. Nor is it the focal point of Ben Johnson’s offense. If the Bears are going to be great, we have to become more efficient from the pocket. Pass percentage must go up, time in pocket must come down. Living outside the pocket will hinder our ability to be efficient and to win a Super Bowl #1 Deep Ball was always there Justin Fields in 2023 had one of the most efficient deep balls in the league. Not only that, the majority of his deep balls came from the pocket which is what you want from your QB. As good as the Bears were as a whole last year, the deep ball was far more efficient in 2023. But living on the deep ball and living out the pocket comes with limitations. We have to focus on the fundamentals #2 Ben Johnson is the catalyst Similar to 2023, Bears offense in 2024 had explosive plays followed by inconsistent offense and inept situational football by the head coach Poor offensive line, poor offensive scheme, and inept head coach were the core issues. Ryan Poles thought QB was the main issue and then 2024 happened. We learned quick that it takes more than a talented QB to win football games. Ben Johnson has alleviated all of those concerns. He has made Bears offensive line the focal point! His scheme has been top of the league since he became OC in Detroit. And his situational football awareness far superior than Eberflus. Bears fans must recognize that Ben Johnson is the catalyst of the Bears offensive turnaround, and team success. Now give him what he needs! He wants 3 tight ends? Give it to him He wants more Luther Burden? Give it to him He wants more efficiency out of his QB? Let’s make that the focal point.. #3 Ben Johnson needs a point guard at QB Efficiency in the pocket, time to throw, and passing EPA are far more important to Ben Johnson’s offense than out of pocket deep balls. We need Caleb to be that killer still, but it’s the fundamentals that will allow Bears to take the next step. This offense doesn’t need a Michael Jordan at QB. Ben Johnson would much rather have an Isiah Thomas at QB because this offense has enough Bad Boys to get the job done. Feed the WRs! Get the ball out of your hands quicker! Allow deep ball to be the counter punch of the offense. #4 It’s all there.. The pre-snap awareness, post snap awareness, efficiency from pocket, and pass velocity all scream franchise QB. When you look at Caleb Williams in the pocket on short to intermediate passes, it looks effortless. The ball leaves his hand lightning quick, it’s placed where it’s supposed to be, and WR is able to make a play after the catch. We have to see more of this and it starts now. CW has to trust Ben Johnson’s offense and his WRs more. Conclusion: If we wanted a QB to scramble and throw deep balls, Justin Fields would still be a Chicago Bear What makes Caleb unique, is that he can be a hunter down the field but also has the upside to be a Drew Brees type of QB in the pocket. I rather see more clips of Caleb playing in rhythm and in the pocket , than deep bombs out the pocket. There will be struggles, but that’s ok. I much rather see our QB struggle making the right throws in OTAs than masking it with his gift as an out the pocket thrower.

Wow…. Donald Trump’s rally in Tucson, Arizona was a mess. Bro was totally slurry and as utterly incoherent he’s ever been. Let’s recap it: JD Vance is nowhere to be found. Bro hasn’t been invited to a rally in a while. Telling. He starts by hyping up the crowd despite the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall only having a capacity for 2195 people. There were empty seats too. In comparison, VP Harris had 8600 people at her rally today. You could tell his tiny crowd size was bothering him. He claimed he had a “monumental victory” against VP Harris in the debate. Sure, bro… He said she “spewed lies.” Pure projection. He whined about Linsey Davis and David Muir. He had issues saying “industry,” “Snopes” (he called it “Snoops”), “confiscation,” “notice,” “and,” “interest,” “Russia,” “jokingly,” and “woman." The cognitive decline is fierce. He lied about the abortion after birth thing again, disgusting. He’s giggling at his own jokes. I think he’s on something. This is super weird. He called VP Kamala Harris “the leader of the movement Defund the Police.” Uh, no. He says Project 2025 “never had my authorization.” He implemented over 2/3 of their policies in 2017. He says that crime is so much worse now than when he was in office. False. Crime has gone down since the spike when he was POTUS. He falls back on his Twitter polls as proof that he “won the debate.” Nah, bro. He seems to think that his debate with Biden counts as debating Harris. Not the case. He claims his weird “Town Hall” with Tulsi Gabbard had the best ratings. It didn’t. He tried to diss David Muir’s hair. Odd since I’d take David’s hair over Donald’s…whatever that is…any day of the week. He claims VP Harris is “a threat to democracy.” So much projection. He’s slurring calling Harris and Tim Walz “weird.” He clearly doesn’t like being called weird himself, so we should keep doing it. A lot. He called Tim Walz “the future Vice President.” Well, he got one thing right! He repeats that he won’t do a “third debate” because it’s “too late” since early voting has already started. Donald Trump is a chicken. He goes on an angry rant about immigrants and migrants. He whines that VP Harris smiled during the debate. Bro, she was LAUGHING AT YOU. He’s pushing lies about Springfield, Ohio. FAFO in a swing state, bro. I can’t wait for Haitians to help flip Florida. He claims people in Hollywood vote for him because of “low taxes.” Further proof Donald only cares about giving tax cuts to the wealthy. He says they lie and say they’re not voting for him and then secretly vote for him. Not happening, bro. He claimed he got “more votes than any sitting president in the history of the country” in 2020. HE LOST THE ELECTION and he’s once again claiming he didn’t lose after admitting he did multiple times in the past month. He said “we’re never gonna let that happen again.” We all need to be prepared for what he’s gonna make his base do when he loses AGAIN. He claims that “in a couple more years they’ll be fired” about Linsey Davis and David Muir. Is he threatening them if he wins? He called Linsey Davis “nasty.” What a dick. He now goes back to people in Hollywood voting for him. Delusional man can’t even keep his own train of thought. He claims someone named Martha cried when he won the debate. Uh. He’s bragging about crowd size again. He’s also saying he did 7 rallies in 2 days. He did not. He’s now asking how many rallies Biden would do…he keeps forgetting who he’s running against. He tries to get the crowd excited and it sounded like less than 50 people were clapping. Sad. He’s now talking about Venezuelans taking over places with AK47s. He was the one who stayed the deportation of Venezuelans right before he left office. He’s now calling Kari Lake “Border Kari Lake.” Super lame nickname and of course he praises himself for it. He’s crying about Biden again. Yikes. Bro’s mind is mashed potatoes. He’s back talking about Venezuelans with guns and he’s trying to do math. No joke. He claims Harris is flying in migrants on jets. He whines about the Forbes 400 and claims Forbes “isn’t doing so well.” He’s still butthurt that they dropped him from their list. He’s back to demonizing “20,000” Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. FAFO bro. He said “they’re taking the geese…and walking off with their pets. My has been stolen.” He keeps talking about someone named “Art.” I’m smirking. He says he’ll “stop World War 3.” Bro is gonna try to start it. He’s crying about Biden not talking to Putin. He claims that immigrants and migrants can’t pay rent. He immediately talks about the “explosion in rent” in Springfield, Ohio. Pick one or the other, doofus. He’s talking about sleeping with a chart “every night.” I mean, that’s more than Melania is sleeping with him. She won’t even be in the same state as him, let alone the same bedroom. He’s going to “ban mortgages for all illegal aliens.” I thought he said they can’t pay rent but now they can afford to buy a home? Again, pick a lane dingleberry. You’re embarrassing. He claimed the average income raised $7000 under him. False. 3 million people lost their jobs. Donald says he’s going to save the average person in Arizona “$800 and $1000 a month” on their mortgages. Is he planning on giving away free homes? Bro is straight up lying. He arbitrarily says he’s going to cut their power bills by 50% in the first year. How do people believe this absolute bullsh*.t? He said people “can’t afford to buy cereal” and that people bring three apples to the checkout and then put one back because they can’t afford it. Fruity Pebbles near me are $3.49 and an apple costs $.59. He wants to repeal “every unnecessary rule” for construction of homes. Let’s make houses implode again! He claims “government regulation” is to blame for “40% of the cost of single family homes.” Bro is legit just making up numbers as he goes along. This is painful to watch. He says he’s going to cut the cost of new homes by 30-50%. Is he gonna give away land for free? FFS. Bro is mental. Ah. He just said he’s going to open up federal land for “large scale housing development.” Great. Let’s turn Yellowstone into a strip mall while we’re at it. He’s complaining that the media covers his inability to say words and calling him “cognitively impaired.” The media genuinely needs to call this out. He calls Melania “our great First Lady.” She’s not the First Lady, and she’s not great either. He said Melania complains about his hair at his rallies. Good. He looks like a bum with an animal living in that weird hair nest. He’s complaining about low income housing. He’ll take away any safety net that people who are struggling have. He said he “doesn’t have problems with women” and that suburban women love him. E. Jean Carroll would like a word. So would Stormy Daniels. He said women “don’t want to be hurt, molested, killed.” I don’t want to have to carry my rapist’s baby, bro. And that’s now happening to women in 13 states thanks to you. He asked “why wouldn’t they like me” about women. UHHHHHHHH. How much time do you have, Donald? He said women want choice and that he’s for choice. But he’s talking about school choice, not bodily autonomy. I hate this man. He’s whining about “copycat” VP Harris saying “no taxes on tips.” Hahahaha. She still lives rent free in his head about this. He’s now trying to bribe people by saying that he’ll end taxes on overtime. We all know he’ll never implement this. He’s bragging about Biden’s student loan debt elimination being stopped. Vile. He claims he took in more money from the IRS after he cut taxes for the wealthy, “by a lot.” Not true. Our national debt was skyrocketing under him even prior to the pandemic. The crowd cheers the loudest for his hateful speech about transgender people. He lies and says schools are transing kids after parents drop them off. He claims VP Harris was “the leader of that.” Fake news. He lies about the boxers in the Olympics again. I really hope they sue the ever-loving sh-i.t out of him. He does some lewd gestures and talks about “getting it up.” I want to vomit in my mouth. He makes up a story about a trans swimmer who won the Olympics and some female swimmer getting “wind burn” as a result. WHAT THE ACTUAL EFF?!?! See the video below. I couldn’t stop laughing. Sorry for that! He’s begging people to get their friends to vote. He knows he’s gonna lose. Oh. Now he's doing the air jerk dance going off the stage. It makes my skin crawl. - Fin I’m sorry this one took a while. I kept pausing and leaving the tv because he was royally pissing me off. I genuinely cannot wait until I don’t have to do these anymore. This man is one giant ball of hatred and we need this cancerous negativity removed from our society. Is the media gonna cover any of this or nah?

He says that crime is so much worse now than when he was in office. False. Crime has gone down since the spike when he was POTUS. He falls back on his Twitter polls as proof that he “won the debate.” Nah, bro. He seems to think that his debate with Biden counts as debating Harris. Not the case. He claims his weird “Town Hall” with Tulsi Gabbard had the best ratings. It didn’t. He tried to diss David Muir’s hair. Odd since I’d take David’s hair over Donald’s…whatever that is…any day of the week. He claims VP Harris is “a threat to democracy.” So much projection. He’s slurring calling Harris and Tim Walz “weird.” He clearly doesn’t like being called weird himself, so we should keep doing it. A lot. He called Tim Walz “the future Vice President.” Well, he got one thing right! He repeats that he won’t do a “third debate” because it’s “too late” since early voting has already started. Donald Trump is a chicken. He goes on an angry rant about immigrants and migrants. He whines that VP Harris smiled during the debate. Bro, she was LAUGHING AT YOU. He’s pushing lies about Springfield, Ohio. FAFO in a swing state, bro. I can’t wait for Haitians to help flip Florida. He claims people in Hollywood vote for him because of “low taxes.” Further proof Donald only cares about giving tax cuts to the wealthy. He says they lie and say they’re not voting for him and then secretly vote for him. Not happening, bro. He claimed he got “more votes than any sitting president in the history of the country” in 2020. HE LOST THE ELECTION and he’s once again claiming he didn’t lose after admitting he did multiple times in the past month. He said “we’re never gonna let that happen again.” We all need to be prepared for what he’s gonna make his base do when he loses AGAIN. He claims that “in a couple more years they’ll be fired” about Linsey Davis and David Muir. Is he threatening them if he wins? He called Linsey Davis “nasty.” What a dick. He now goes back to people in Hollywood voting for him. Delusional man can’t even keep his own train of thought. He claims someone named Martha cried when he won the debate. Uh. He’s bragging about crowd size again. He’s also saying he did 7 rallies in 2 days. He did not. He’s now asking how many rallies Biden would do…he keeps forgetting who he’s running against. He tries to get the crowd excited and it sounded like less than 50 people were clapping. Sad. He’s now talking about Venezuelans taking over places with AK47s. He was the one who stayed the deportation of Venezuelans right before he left office. He’s now calling Kari Lake “Border Kari Lake.” Super lame nickname and of course he praises himself for it. He’s crying about Biden again. Yikes. Bro’s mind is mashed potatoes. He’s back talking about Venezuelans with guns and he’s trying to do math. No joke. He claims Harris is flying in migrants on jets. He whines about the Forbes 400 and claims Forbes “isn’t doing so well.” He’s still butthurt that they dropped him from their list. He’s back to demonizing “20,000” Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. FAFO bro. He said “they’re taking the geese…and walking off with their pets. My has been stolen.” He keeps talking about someone named “Art.” I’m smirking. He says he’ll “stop World War 3.” Bro is gonna try to start it. He’s crying about Biden not talking to Putin. He claims that immigrants and migrants can’t pay rent. He immediately talks about the “explosion in rent” in Springfield, Ohio. Pick one or the other, doofus. He’s talking about sleeping with a chart “every night.” I mean, that’s more than Melania is sleeping with him. She won’t even be in the same state as him, let alone the same bedroom. He’s going to “ban mortgages for all illegal aliens.” I thought he said they can’t pay rent but now they can afford to buy a home? Again, pick a lane dingleberry. You’re embarrassing. He claimed the average income raised $7000 under him. False. 3 million people lost their jobs. Donald says he’s going to save the average person in Arizona “$800 and $1000 a month” on their mortgages. Is he planning on giving away free homes? Bro is straight up lying. He arbitrarily says he’s going to cut their power bills by 50% in the first year. How do people believe this absolute bullsh*.t? He said people “can’t afford to buy cereal” and that people bring three apples to the checkout and then put one back because they can’t afford it. Fruity Pebbles near me are $3.49 and an apple costs $.59. He wants to repeal “every unnecessary rule” for construction of homes. Let’s make houses implode again! He claims “government regulation” is to blame for “40% of the cost of single family homes.” Bro is legit just making up numbers as he goes along. This is painful to watch. He says he’s going to cut the cost of new homes by 30-50%. Is he gonna give away land for free? FFS. Bro is mental. Ah. He just said he’s going to open up federal land for “large scale housing development.” Great. Let’s turn Yellowstone into a strip mall while we’re at it. He’s complaining that the media covers his inability to say words and calling him “cognitively impaired.” The media genuinely needs to call this out. He calls Melania “our great First Lady.” She’s not the First Lady, and she’s not great either. He said Melania complains about his hair at his rallies. Good. He looks like a bum with an animal living in that weird hair nest. He’s complaining about low income housing. He’ll take away any safety net that people who are struggling have. He said he “doesn’t have problems with women” and that suburban women love him. E. Jean Carroll would like a word. So would Stormy Daniels. He said women “don’t want to be hurt, molested, killed.” I don’t want to have to carry my rapist’s baby, bro. And that’s now happening to women in 13 states thanks to you. He asked “why wouldn’t they like me” about women. UHHHHHHHH. How much time do you have, Donald? He said women want choice and that he’s for choice. But he’s talking about school choice, not bodily autonomy. I hate this man. He’s whining about “copycat” VP Harris saying “no taxes on tips.” Hahahaha. She still lives rent free in his head about this. He’s now trying to bribe people by saying that he’ll end taxes on overtime. We all know he’ll never implement this. He’s bragging about Biden’s student loan debt elimination being stopped. Vile. He claims he took in more money from the IRS after he cut taxes for the wealthy, “by a lot.” Not true. Our national debt was skyrocketing under him even prior to the pandemic. The crowd cheers the loudest for his hateful speech about transgender people. He lies and says schools are transing kids after parents drop them off. He claims VP Harris was “the leader of that.” Fake news. He lies about the boxers in the Olympics again. I really hope they sue the ever-loving sh-i.t out of him. He does some lewd gestures and talks about “getting it up.” I want to vomit in my mouth. He makes up a story about a trans swimmer who won the Olympics and some female swimmer getting “wind burn” as a result. WHAT THE ACTUAL EFF?!?! See the video below. I couldn’t stop laughing. Sorry for that! He’s begging people to get their friends to vote. He knows he’s gonna lose. Oh. Now he's doing the air jerk dance going off the stage. It makes my skin crawl. - Fin I’m sorry this one took a while. I kept pausing and leaving the tv because he was royally pissing me off. I genuinely cannot wait until I don’t have to do these anymore. This man is one giant ball of hatred and we need this cancerous negativity removed from our society. Is the media gonna cover any of this or nah?

I watched every SEC Football Media Day press conference so you don’t have to. Here’s the best answer from every head coach: -- LSU Coach Lane Kiffin on why personal growth often comes from subtracting, not constantly adding: “If you really want to keep growing, a lot of people add things as they go versus subtracting things that are issues.” “Once you remove something from your life, you start to realize how many other people are addicted to it or need it.” “To be free of that has been interesting because you don’t compare.” “Social media… makes you compare your job, the city you live in, your vacation, your kids, your clothes, your car, your significant other.” “When you don’t see that all day, you’re free of that comparison.” “It’s been a way of being more present.” — Georgia Coach Kirby Smart explains how leaders should operate when their industry is changing rapidly: “What wins football games has not changed. Each coach has to decide within their own program what they want to major in.” You’ve got to be able to wear multiple hats. But you’ve got to choose which hats you want to wear the best.” “I’m not afraid to change what we need to change to be successful. I don’t have an ego that says you have to do it my way. I want to hear how you want to do it, and let’s find the best way.” — Oklahoma Coach Brent Venables on the player who asked for more money before he had earned a role, and how he responded: “Why don’t you worry about playing first before we worry about incentives?” — Kentucky Coach Will Stein on why he believes Kentucky can overcome its history and win at a championship level: “I think because of me, to be honest.” “I know what it takes. I’ve seen it at the highest levels. You’ve just got to believe. You’ve just got to put the ball down and play.” “The best determination of whether what you’re doing is working is putting the ball down and playing football.” “There are going to be bumps in the road. I’m prepared for tough moments and tough times. I already do self-talk with myself: ‘How can I stay neutral when stuff’s bad?’” “You’ve got to go attack. You can’t sit back and wait.That’s one thing I refuse to do at Kentucky—wait.” — Missouri Coach Eli Drinkwitz explains what Ahmad Hardy’s recovery taught him about the real purpose of coaching: “There was that moment where he realized he was mortal. I’ve been very proud of the way he’s approached his recovery and his rehab. His number one responsibility is to be a father, and then after that, to continue to be a great teammate.” “That’s exactly what coaching is all about. It’s about taking young men on a journey from 18 to maturity—and it’s a lifelong process.” “Regardless of how much the business changes or is disrupted, it’s still about helping players achieve their dreams.” “When Ahmad scores his first touchdown this year, I’ll be thinking about that journey from hospital bed to end zone.” — South Carolina Coach Shane Beamer takes complete ownership of South Carolina’s disappointing season and explains how adversity revealed the strength of the program’s culture: “There was no ceiling on the football program at South Carolina, and nothing has changed. We fell woefully short, and that’s on me. We don’t seek comfort from how close we were.” — Vanderbilt Coach Clark Lea on Vanderbilt’s disastrous 2023 season and explains how it became the turning point that eventually led to a 10-win season: “That’s called getting your ass kicked.” “It may have been the most important thing that’s ever happened to me as a head coach and to the program.” “The vision never left us.” “In 15 years, when I look back on this moment, what am I learning right now—not what am I feeling right now?” — Tennessee Coach Josh Heupel explains how to develop an inexperienced quarterback without coaching away what makes him special: “The players have to go learn it, earn it, and compete for it every single day.” “Each one of them is a little bit different. They’re the artist. You’ve got to hand them the paintbrush and let them go paint it.” — Florida Coach John Sumrall explains the attitude he wants to establish at Florida: “I may have some bad moments. I don’t have bad days.” “Attitude is demeanor, drive and desire. Demeanor is your body language. Your drive and desire is the mindset that you’ve never arrived, you can always get better.” — Texas A&M Coach Mike Elko on how he prevents complacency after a playoff appearance: “I show them our trophy case, and it’s empty.” — Ole Miss Coach Pete Golding explains how he defines an elite program beyond wins and football performance: “Elite programs aren’t designed for when they’ve got cleats on. Elite programs are designed for when they take them cleats off.” “Are they a better dude? Are they a better husband? Are they a better father?” — Auburn Coach Alex Golesh explains where real confidence comes from: “Real confidence, not fake confidence, but real, authentic, genuine confidence, comes from elite-level process day in and day out.” — Arkansas Coach Ryan Silverfield explains why rebuilding Arkansas required examining every detail: “The night I got there… I said, ‘We need to fix the light bulbs.’ How you do anything is how you do everything.” “People now are starting to catch on: this is how we need to do this. We need to be better here. We need to support this more.” — Mississippi State Coach Jeff Lebby explains why the next step for a talented young quarterback is not always making more plays—it is learning which plays not to make: “I don’t necessarily put a ceiling on K1. The way he goes about his business on the day-to-day to prepare himself to have success between the white lines—it’s elite.” — Alabama Coach Kalen DeBoer explains why reputation, returning talent and last year’s progress mean nothing until the new team proves it again: “That’s okay, because we’ve got to go prove it. It doesn’t matter how many guys you return.” “Until we prove it, we understand there’s going to be doubt.” — Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian explains how Arch Manning handled being hyped by outsiders, blamed when their predictions failed, and refused to respond publicly: “Arch Manning wasn’t on social media or television saying, ‘I’m going to be the first pick of the draft.’ All he did was work really hard.” “Then those same people wanted to criticize and demean him almost for letting them down because he didn’t live up to what they thought he was going to be.” “What he got put through probably would have melted or destroyed 99% of people in his shoes.” “All he did was stay consistent and true to who he was. He didn’t go back on social media and say, ‘I told you so.’” “I think right now he’s a very dangerous player because he learned a lot from last season.”

In the middle of baseball season, here are some Major League Major Facts: -Dennis Haysbert actually hit multiple home runs on camera while filming. In the final game when he hit his final home run, he was so excited he forgot to drop the bat and ran the bases with it despite that not being in the script. -For many of the wide crowd scenes of the climactic playoff game, there were over 20,000 extras in the stands. When the team first ran onto the field with the crowd roaring, Haysbert admitted to being emotionally overwhelmed by the experience. Former Major Leaguer and technical advisor Steve Yeager noticed Haysbert's reaction and said to him, "That's what it's like 162 times a year." -In the scene where Jake invades Lynn's party, one of the guests asks how much Jake makes in the Majors. He replies, "I make the league minimum." At the time (1989) the MLB salary minimum was $68,000. Average household income in 1990 was roughly $30,000. -The opponent slugger known as Yankees' home run threat Haywood was played by former pitcher of the Milwaukee Brewers, Peter Vuckovich. Vuckovich never hit a single home run in his entire 11-year major league career. In fact, during 8 of those 11 years he never made a single plate appearance since he was pitching in the American League, which uses a designated hitter to bat for the pitcher. -At the start of the "pennant race" montage, Willie Hayes is shown with 16 pairs of gloves nailed on his bedroom wall, indicating that he had stolen 16 bases in the first 101 games. At the end of the montage, he has at least 78 pairs on the wall, having stolen 62 additional bases in fewer than 60 games. -Haywood's line of "How's your wife and my kids?" was completely improvised by Pete Vuckovich. Ward couldn't think of a good insult that Haywood could say to Taylor, and Vuckovich, assured Ward that he could come up with something on the spot, which was what was caught on camera. -Chelcie Ross (Eddie Harris) played baseball in high school. He was a three-sport star, also playing football and basketball. -Wesley Snipes was not very skilled at baseball in real life, never having played much before. Ward said Snipes was so awful there were no scenes of hom throwing. -The vehicle that Willie Mays Hayes drives to opening day of spring training is a customized VW Beetle with a Rolls Royce grill, replacement trunk and hood ornament. The "Elegant Beetle" kit, as one was called, was popular in the mid-70s to the mid-80s until Rolls Royce sued a company responsible for one of the conversion kits. -Charlie Sheen admitted to Sports Illustrated that he took steroids to prepare for his role. He believed the steroids he took caused him to increase his fastball to 85 MPH. -Former Major-League catcher Steve Yeager served as a coach for the actors in training for the movie, also serving as a stunt double for Tom Berenger in many scenes when Jake Taylor would make a throw from home plate or be in a home plate collision, as well as play third-base coach Temple. -While not particularly specified, many of the players in the movie seem to be based on, or inspired by, former Major League stars. Pedro Cerrano, according to author/director David S. Ward, is based on Orlando Cepeda and Wade Boggs, who would superstitiously eat chicken before every game. Willie Mays Hays is based on Rickey Henderson. Ryne Duren was the inspiration for the character Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn, according to Ward. Eddie Harris appears to be inspired by Gaylord Perry, who was well known for using outside substances to enhance his pitches. Jake Taylor may be inspired by Carlton Fisk, a catcher who had a long career with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox. Lou Brown mentions early on that Taylor was an All-Star in Boston.

Conservative MP launches task force targeting federal DEI policies Conservative MP Jamil Jivani says federal diversity, equity and inclusion policies have created a system where Canadians are increasingly judged by identity rather than ability, and he's launching a parliamentary task force to challenge it. Speaking with Rebel News in Ottawa, Jivani said what he calls "liberal racism" is simply "the same kind of ancient racism, bigotry, prejudice and discrimination that most people think of when they think of racism," except it is now "often dressed up as a progressive idea." "When I say liberal racism, I'm trying to remind people that 50 years ago, when they wouldn't hire a person because of their skin colour, and we look back at that and say that was wrong, that's still happening today, and it's still wrong," he said. Jivani pointed to federal responses to Conservative Order Paper questions on DEI hiring practices, saying multiple departments admitted they do not always hire the most qualified candidate. "They say they do not hire based on most qualified candidate. That is a phrase they use in their response to us," said Jivani. "They also show a series of diversity targets based on race and quotas." According to Jivani, some departments are tracking employees by race and identity categories in ways Canadians would find troubling. "The Department of Justice admitted to assigning their employees special codes based on race so they could track where they are in the organization in terms of promotions," he said. "It's a real creepy desire to control other people and to decide, based on a very superficial assessment of another human being, what kind of job you should have or how far you should get in your career." To address the issue, Jivani has assembled a parliamentary task force made up of Conservative MPs that will hear from expert witnesses and examine legislative reforms, including potential changes to the Employment Equity Act. "The goal is to start to map out what would it look like to actually change this," he said. "What would it look like to restore meritocracy in Canada and meritocracy in the federal government?" Jivani also argued Canada's immigration system has become unmanageable and said current levels are hurting young Canadians trying to enter the workforce. "We need drastically lower numbers," he said. "The immigration system needs significant changes. It's rotten at the moment." Jivani was equally critical of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, saying young Canadians are losing opportunities to gain the work experience that helps build long-term careers. "The demand to reform the program comes from the belief that Canadian kids weren't getting the opportunities that they need," he said. "It's a very serious issue." He also defended a petition he is sponsoring calling for an end to federally recognized heritage months and commemorative celebrations, arguing that the government should place greater emphasis on a shared national identity. "We need to be able to invest in the things that make us the same, not the things that make us different," said Jivani. "The purpose of government is to actually have a unified vision for the country." Jivani linked these issues to what he sees as a broader tendency within the Liberal government to manage public opinion and control information. "Here in Ottawa, there's a palpable smugness among the Liberals. They really do think they're better than most other people," he said. "Until we elect a new government that wants to dismantle this desire to control others, we're going to keep fighting it and running into it." REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

"The Department of Justice admitted to assigning their employees special codes based on race so they could track where they are in the organization in terms of promotions," he said. "It's a real creepy desire to control other people and to decide, based on a very superficial assessment of another human being, what kind of job you should have or how far you should get in your career." To address the issue, Jivani has assembled a parliamentary task force made up of Conservative MPs that will hear from expert witnesses and examine legislative reforms, including potential changes to the Employment Equity Act. "The goal is to start to map out what would it look like to actually change this," he said. "What would it look like to restore meritocracy in Canada and meritocracy in the federal government?" Jivani also argued Canada's immigration system has become unmanageable and said current levels are hurting young Canadians trying to enter the workforce. "We need drastically lower numbers," he said. "The immigration system needs significant changes. It's rotten at the moment." Jivani was equally critical of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, saying young Canadians are losing opportunities to gain the work experience that helps build long-term careers. "The demand to reform the program comes from the belief that Canadian kids weren't getting the opportunities that they need," he said. "It's a very serious issue." He also defended a petition he is sponsoring calling for an end to federally recognized heritage months and commemorative celebrations, arguing that the government should place greater emphasis on a shared national identity. "We need to be able to invest in the things that make us the same, not the things that make us different," said Jivani. "The purpose of government is to actually have a unified vision for the country." Jivani linked these issues to what he sees as a broader tendency within the Liberal government to manage public opinion and control information. "Here in Ottawa, there's a palpable smugness among the Liberals. They really do think they're better than most other people," he said. "Until we elect a new government that wants to dismantle this desire to control others, we're going to keep fighting it and running into it." REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

Tory Lanez does his first interview from prison since being sentenced to 10 years for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. He insists he was wrongfully convicted and wants someone in the system to look at the evidence and "ask if this was fair." On Thursday (Dec. 18), Tory Lanez spoke to NBC News amid his planned appeal after being convicted of the 2020 shooting. He's seeking release from prison. The rapper is currently incarcerated at California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo, Calif., and has already served three years of his 10-year sentence. "There is definitely a very big misconception about me that seems to the public as I'm this monster," Tory says. "I feel like I was catapulted into this poster child for the unprotection of Black women, and it's just so unlike me. And I've never really had a chance to express that." The Canadian native claims he doesn't have a record of violence against women. "I've never been violent towards women," he insists. "I would never hit a woman, let alone shoot a woman." Since the shooting incident occurred in 2020, and the 2022 trial for the charges against him, Tory has proclaimed his innocence. After being found guilty of assault with a semiautomatic weapon, personal use of a firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, Tory feels he was wrongfully convicted. "I believe not only that I was wrongfully convicted, but the amount of new evidence that has emerged since that trial, I think, has been overwhelming," he maintains. When asked what he would say to Megan Thee Stallion right now, Tory revealed he'd like to have a moment to address her in person rather than through an interview. "I think that I wouldn't say something directly to her," Tory added. "I would like that moment to happen in person. We've both gone through a lot. There's this connotation that, like I share this hatred for her, but I don't. I'm genuinely past that. I'm at a place of healing in my life. I'm at a place of taking accountability for the things that I did wrong. And when I talk about my case, I don't want it to be taken as me coming for her because it's not that. I'm just asking for somebody in the system to look at my case and look at the evidence and ask if this was fair." Tory Lanez's team plans to file multiple appeals next week.

Analyzing Episode 55. Season 2 aka The Violence of Alignment If I visualize CihAl's journey for this season, a spiral tightening its rings comes to mind. There's always one problem after another, spiking in intensity and reaction. And, the weight of it is reflected in both Alya's increasingly somber demeanor. But, here's the thing. In every new problem, there's an echo of the old one, which leaves one with an inevitable feeling of deja vu - for the audience and the characters. We'll get to why towards the end of this analysis. For now, on we go. We kick off epi 55 with Cihan being introduced to Meryem *cough* dishrag *cough* by Sadakat. And what follows is a breakdown of her story with Cihan listening. However, when Meryem recounted her past woes, I focused less on her words and more on Cihan's words and expression. And what follows is a masterclass in the difference between sympathy and empathy. Kudos to Ozan Akbaba for portraying the difference. I couldn't help but compare the situation to when Cihan is listening to Alya's account of her past. With Alya, Cihan leans forward, barely moving. He listens, but his face tends to reflect his own emotion and mirrors Alya's at times - in other words, he's living those events with her. When he talks, his voice drops lower, but more importantly, there's a gentle softness meant to soothe. With Meryem, Cihan's body language is a tad more detached. When he's leaning forward in the seat, his hands are extended in front of him, clasped together, creating space. Then he leans back, one arm extended on the table, the other on his thigh. Again, there's this feel of distance. His voice remains soft, but there's no tenderness. He's not trying to alleviate, rather he's simply listening. Don't get me wrong, it's not like the guy doesn't feel bad for her, because what she relates shouldn't be experienced by anyone. But empathy goes beyond sympathy. Empathy is when you hurt with the one who's hurting. And that difference, to me, is clear between the two scenes. Long story short, when he's heard what Meryem's gone through, he offers to help get her out of prison because he feels responsible in part for her misfortunes. He says it's his 'duty' to help her. Here's what's interesting: when Meryem says his kindness and heart haven't changed, he gets uncomfortable. And after that, he's the one to get up from the chair, signaling the end of the conversation. Like he wants to get out of there, because some part of him that's not stupidly male understands Meryem's still attached to him, but he has no interest in that whatsoever. His method of saying goodbye is a handshake, again, a testament to his aloofness. And when Meryem hugs him, his hands remain at their sides; the man could have been a pillar. So, while he speaks not of Alya, the one time he takes her name, he drives the message across that 'she's no one ordinary' and 'tread carefully'. Honestly, I don't think he wants to talk about Alya to Meryem. Not because Alya's not important, but because Alya is too important. The part of his life that Alya represents is his alone, and he's very possessive about sharing that with anyone. To him, Meryem is a past that exists, but one that he would erase if he had the choice, because it hurts Alya. And that's pretty much the whole feel of this conversation. He wants to help Meryem, but he also wants her gone because her presence is a source of discomfort to Alya. Speaking of discomforts, the next scene I want to talk about is when the massive turd, who happens to be Alya's ex-husband, goes to the hospital to threaten her some more. Seriously, this character is a step short of absolute psycho. He's incapable of true emotion, just like his mother. Anyway, when Alya is explaining why she hasn't moved out yet, the zombie's eyes zero in on her wedding band. And, of course, being who he is, he absolutely ignores the topic of Deniz, his own flesh and blood, and instead, wants the ring gone because it symbolizes Alya's love and attachment to Cihan. Thankfully, Cihan arrives in time to push away the zombie and to hear Alya proclaim that while Boran has the power to use her son and distance her from Cihan physically, he has no power over her heart and who reigns over it. Now, think back to that conversation where Deniz wants her to pick between Cihan and himself. And Cihan says Deniz's throne (or place) in her heart is so secure, he's happy to live in the shadow of that throne. While Alya smiles at Cihan's response, she also looks miserable later at the thought of not being able to tell Cihan that things aren't exactly so. However, I think she manages to get her point across in this scene without even realizing it. Because while she may make sacrifices for her son, no amount of blackmail, pain, or hurt can remove Cihan's love from her heart. Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds almost like an equal footing. The only difference is that she's bound to protect her son, because, unlike Cihan, he can't protect himself. And that's what leads Cihan to later tell Alya that her words are etched across his heart, and that he's never felt that loved by anyone. Curiously enough, this scene also brings the spotlight on two other details: Alya's 'anka' side and the wedding ring. Both of which will feature rather greatly, in the coming episodes, I think. Now, there's a rumor going around that Alya will take off her wedding ring. And, I don't know, the fact that Cihan's almost preening at Alya, still wearing the ring, and Alya saying 'I couldn't take it off' tells me that's not what's going to happen. For some reason, I'm beginning to get the vibes of a showdown of trust in the same vein as episode 27. Now you may argue that Cihan actually tells Alya about Mine's pregnancy in that episode, but CihAl have had a long journey since then. Alya has seen Cihan choose her over Boran with her own eyes. She's seen the lengths the man has gone to for her and Deniz. So, yes, she might be pissed about something or the other related to Meryem in future episodes, but her taking off the ring seems not within her character somehow. But hey, that's just me, and I could be wrong. Anyway, the final scene I want to talk about is, of course, the ending. Everyone kept focusing on why Cihan allowed Meryem to hold his hands, but I focused on his words. Because he very clearly tells Meryem that he's no longer in love with her, that he's moved on, and that she should not hang about in the hopes of that ever changing. In his own way, Cihan is quite ruthless here. He draws a line, but his words are designed not to hurt, because he's not an ahole. He just wants dishrag to understand that even the thought of Alya being hurt pains him more now than anything else. And, he's not very kind to people who try to hurt Alya. It's a disclosure and warning, but in the form of steel wrapped in satin. Now, let's go back to the beginning for a bit, where I mentioned spiraling events. See, I somehow thought that those vows Cihal took 'savaşta, bedelde, kararda, kaderde, aşkta' were linear levels. That they'd clear them one by one and get to love. But when you see the overall structure of their journey in this season, it's not linear at all. Because all those things have existed in one form or another since ep 29. There's always an element of all of these conditions in every episode. Which is why we keep thinking, wait a minute, we've been here before. But as I said, the spiral is tightening itself. With every episode, the stakes are raised higher, and CihAl are pushed a little bit closer to the edge. Almost like the deep breath before the plunge. And here’s where things get interesting. Because what feels like repetition is not actually stagnation, it’s confrontation deferred, coming back sharper each time. Every cycle brings them back to the same point. Their love deepens, fear follows, a decision is made in the name of protection, and that decision creates distance instead of resolution. Which brings me back to the vows - savaşta, bedelde, kararda, kaderde, aşkta. I was wrong to think of them as steps. They’re not something Cihan and Alya are moving towards; they’re something CihAl are already inside of. Every episode is them living those vows in real time. But with every new episode, the pressure mounts, like music builds to a crescendo. And yet, within all of that, aşk remains. Not as a reward at the end of the journey. But as the one thing that refuses to disappear, no matter how many times everything else goes wrong. And maybe that's why episode 55 feels the way it does. It creates the illusion that everything is falling apart, yet again, when in reality, everything is being forced into alignment. Something is moving all the pieces on the chessboard for an ultimate showdown. And the process gets more violent by the minute. Cihan hides the truth because he thinks love needs protection. Alya experiences that same act as distance, almost betrayal. Meanwhile, Boran and Sadakat keep pushing, and Meryem drops like a freaking bomb at the worst possible moment. Suddenly, everything that could have remained unsaid, unresolved, or postponed is dragged into the open. This has all the hallmarks of a breaking point. Note, I said breaking point, not breakdown. Because, unlike breakdowns, breaking points are used for revelations. I guess what I'm trying to say is things are headed towards alignment, not just for the overall story, but also CihAl's journey individually. Because Cihan and Alya also keep repeating their mistakes. Their growth requires something along the lines of a push, too. So, we have war, sacrifice, decisions, fate, and love, all coming to a head. And while there are plenty of reasons to feel ominous, I personally don't. The story is no longer about them loving each other - we're well past that. It’s about whether they can finally stand in that love openly and without any fear. Because everything is pushing them toward a breaking point, not to destroy them, I think, but to shape them into who they need to be. And if there’s one thing CihAl have proven since day one, it’s this - they don’t fall apart under pressure, they grow stronger, and they survive the impossible. #CihAl #UzakŞehir
