โ€ผ๏ธEXCLUSIVEโ€ผ๏ธ The woman who opened todayโ€™s program at the State Department Department of State at the International Women of Courage (IWOC) Awards ceremony is Senior Bureau Official in the Office of Global Womenโ€™s Issues, Katrina Fotovat. According to her State Department bio, Fotovat previously served as an 'Interagency Liaison at USAID.' Today, she defied Secretary Marco Rubioโ€™s orders to NOT mention the Bangladeshi women protesters after he was made aware of my report. This is the result of a lack of VETTING at the State Department. She did it at the end of the program while MELANIA TRUMP and Secretary Marco Rubio were on stage. FEC records I have uncovered reveal that Katrina Fotovat, a Senior Bureau Official in the Office of Global Womenโ€™s Issues, made 44 donations to Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. Her last donation to Kamala Harris was made on November 3, 2024. Why is this Biden holdover who has been working at the State Department for a very long time, including under the Biden regime, still working there under the new Trump admin? According to these FEC records, Fotovat identified herself as a State Department employee alongside her political contributions. See receipts below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป Today, Fotovat introduced the IWOC program at the State Department featuring Melania Trump and Marco Rubio where she honored jihadist student protesters. FIRE HER!

Iowa Time Machine โฐ: On May 7, 1969, Denise Long of Whitten, Iowa, became the first woman drafted into the NBA when the San Francisco Warriors selected the basketball standout in the 13th round of the draft. Long caught the attention of basketball fans everywhere when she averaged an astounding 69.6 per game as a senior at Union-Whitten High School in 1969. Growing up in the small Hardin County town of Whitten (population 200), Long developed a love for basketball at an early age. Just one of 34 students in her graduating class at Union-Whitten, the nearly 6-foot-tall Long excelled on the hardwood, scoring at least 100 points on three occasions during high school. Known for her outside shooting prowess, Long netted 6,250 points in her career despite the three-point line still being a thing of the future. During Longโ€™s junior year in 1968, the star hooper poured in 64 points in the state championship with an estimated 3.5 million viewers watching the six-on-six basketball game on television. As she averaged nearly 70 points a game the following year, Long mulled her post-high school options. With Title IX still three years away and womenโ€™s college basketball in its infancy, the prospects of a future on the hardwood seemed slim. Then, the Warriors selected Long in the 13th round as part of a plan to form the โ€œWarrior Girls Basketball League,โ€ with the Union-Whitten standout as the star performer. The four-team league played before the Warriorsโ€™ home games, and Long signed a contract that provided her with tuition at the University of San Francisco, $5,000 in expense money, and a purple Jaguar. #Iowa #OTD #History #Baskeball #ThisDayInHistory

Here's a history lesson for how great he was: Did you know Bird almost quit basketball? ๐Ÿค” After his freshman year in Indiana Larry was overwhelmed by the massive campus and had financial struggles so he dropped out. He went home, doing odd jobs around town for income. Coach Bill Hodges (Indiana State) went to Bird and convinced him to give his basketball dream a chance again. He found Bird working on a garbage truck and challenged him, โ€œWant to hang off a garbage truck forever?โ€ Days later, Bird arrived at an ISU scrimmage in jeans, a T-shirt, and work boots. Hodges offered him sneakers and shorts, but Bird said, โ€œNo, I play better in this,โ€ then scored 40 points. His brother later confirmed Bird does actually play BETTER in that outfit ๐Ÿฅพ Bird signed with Indiana State, as a senior led them to an undefeated season, and reached their first national title game, losing to Magic Johnsonโ€™s Michigan State ๐Ÿ† Imagine no Bird and Magic rivalry, that rivalry saved a dying NBA. If Hodges never convinced Larry to come back to the sport we might have no NBA today ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Or imagine if Larry couldโ€™ve worn jeans in the NBA, maybe he has a few extra titles๐Ÿ˜ (hoopsciety IG)

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 rรฉsumรฉ trail is public. The 2026 class featured McDonaldโ€™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 McDonaldโ€™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. McDonaldโ€™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 Iowaโ€™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 โ€” Lewis, Lower, Bourrage, Fandel, Williams, Crooks โ€” 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 Womenโ€™s Basketball] [Blake Derrick] [Winston Kelly] [Sidney A.

Conceptually Thinking Basketball Conceptually Thinking an Impactful Career Through Shooting and Leadership Taylor McCabe Iowa Women's Basketball Taylor McCabe (Iowa | Big Ten | 5โ€™9โ€ Guard | No. 2) This is a salute. Taylor McCabeโ€™s season may be cut short, but her imprint on Iowa womenโ€™s basketball is already completeโ€”and durable. Her career is a reminder that not all impact announces itself loudly. Some of it stretches defenses, stabilizes lineups, and quietly earns trust until it becomes indispensable. McCabe arrived at Iowa as a role player in waiting. Limited minutes. No starts. A narrow job description. She stayed patient, sharpened her edge, and did the hardest thing in high-major basketball: she mastered her role instead of chasing a bigger one. Year after year, the shooting held. Over 40% from three across multiple seasons. Over 100 career made threes. Low turnovers even as minutes climbed. Every box score told the same storyโ€”reliability. That reliability changed her trajectory. Eight minutes became twenty. Bench shooter became starter. Specialist became structural. By the time she was logging starter minutes in Big Ten play, her value was no longer theoretical. Defenses hugged her. Help defenders hesitated. Spacing widened. Iowaโ€™s offense functioned cleaner with her on the floor. Her impact was never about dominating the ball. It was about making the game easier for everyone else. Holding corners. Lifting on time. Relocating with intent. Punishing late closeouts. Those are winning details. Those are trust details. Coaches reward that. When she opened the 2025โ€“26 season as a full-time starter, it wasnโ€™t a surpriseโ€”it was a confirmation. And while the knee injury ends this chapter prematurely, it doesnโ€™t erase whatโ€™s already written. McCabe leaves behind proof that elite shooting, discipline, and role integrity matter. That patience pays. That programs win because of players like her. Not every legacy is built on usage or headlines. Some are built on gravity, consistency, and doing your job every night against elite competition. Taylor McCabe did that. Iowa is better for it. Salute to a Hawkeye whose impact stretched far beyond the stat sheet. #OWUEvalDay #ConceptuallyThinking #BuiltDifferent #PlayerTrustNetwork #ScoutingTruths [Jeremy Brooks ] [NXTPRO Hoops Girls] [Jr. All-Star Girls Basketball] [] [Premier Recruiting Service girls basketball [World Exposure Report Womenโ€™s Basketball] [Blake Derrick] [Winston Kelly] [Sidney A.

Illinois is musing federal funds and providing illegal migrants free healthcare through a program called โ€˜Healthy Illinois campaignโ€™ โ€œIf you're an Illinoisan who lost health coverage in the last year or two, I want you to know that Governor Pritzker worked double time to ensure that immigrants, regardless of immigration status, had access to quality healthcare to the tune of $629 million of funding through the Healthy Illinois campaign. Here's their notice they put up on their site in 2024. The Illinois General Assembly passed the fiscal year 2025 state budget, includes a record amount of funding for the health benefits for immigrant adults and health benefits for immigrant senior programs.โ€ โ€œTotal funding for both programs is estimated at $629 million, which includes $440 million from the General Revenue Fund and $189 million from federal reimbursements and other sources. This is a nearly 15% increase in funding from fiscal year 2024, when the programs were funded at $550 millionโ€ โ€œThis is shameful. This is shameful because I know for a fact that there are Illinoisans who are struggling to pay for their own healthcare out of their own pockets. Healthcare takes such a massive chunk out of most people's paycheck and for the people who don't even have access to it at their jobs, they're struggling to figure out how they can even go to a doctor appointment, how they can go and get prescriptions, how they can get their eyeglasses when they get broken. How they can access dental care. Most people have probably not been to the dentist in years, yet these people, regardless of immigration statusโ€ get full healthcare for free
