Romney got some abuse he didn’t deserve for sure. That’s 2012, after we had a full 4 years of Birther nonsense - Obama was a Kenyan Muslim Communist. Don’t act like you guys just showed up fresh and new in 2012 and encountered unprovoked Democrats aggression.

Biblical Israel is not the nation-state Israel that was founded in 1948. And the Palestinian people have a closer lineage to Abraham than the occupiers.

The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.
A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.
Wow: NFL waterboys earn over 3 THOUSAND dollars per game, which averages out to more than $50K per season, not including tips.
Waterboys also attend practices, handle locker room prep, and travel with the team.
What a fantastic job to have 💸📈
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Per a former Eagle employee, this is an athletic trainer.

Trump has it backwards. The U.S. doesn’t subsidize the world; the world subsidizes the U.S. The dollar’s reserve-currency status allows us to live beyond our means. Soaring debt, tariffs, and military threats jeopardize that status. When it’s lost, economic collapse will follow.

A primary theme of right-wing politics throughout the 1990s and into 2000s (not GOP politics, but right-wing politics) was vehement opposition to armed federal agents on US soil acting against US citizens (things like WACO and the Randy Weaver shootings illustrated that).
Then a GOP administration exploited 9/11 to create DHS, and now armed federal agents under DC's control on US streets, operating against Americans, is a staple of right-wing politics.
This is preposterous.
First of all, she's not waving the officers through and has no right to do so even if she were. She is waving another car through, before the officers approach her car.
Second, the officers are not randomly searching her, they are approaching her vehicle because she is violating the law: namely, she is obstructing a lawful enforcement operation. You're not allowed to walk up to or drive up to people who are enforcing the law to make it harder for them to do their jobs.
Third, this defense attorney is drawing a meaningless distinction between an ICE officer and a "real police officer." Again, you're not allowed to interrupt a lawful enforcement operation, which is exactly what this woman was doing.
Fourth, the officer didn't discharge his weapon to prevent her from fleeing. When he discharged his weapon, she had pointed the vehicle at him and pressed the gas. He discharged his weapon in self defense, and other angles of the video show the woman *clearly* hit the officer with her car while accelerating.
The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it. This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him.
A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with.

I love yall….but you have to stop this “Professional Hit” nonsense. It looks like the shot allegedly is under 200 yards. That is not a difficult shot at all. I was shooting that far when I was 10 years old. Any person with a few hours of instruction can hit playing cards at 200 yards with a good rifle. 200 yards is NOT a long way to shoot a rifle. It just isn’t.

Charlie Kirk, a name synonymous with having the courage to speak what you believe and seek/welcome conversations with those whom you disagree with.
I’m not a political person but I am a proud American citizen and today was startling, saddening, and maddening all at the same time.. I’ve realized that I’m a bit naive to how crazy it all has become but watching a man get hunted and slayed in broad daylight because of his opinions made me disgusted and devastated.
This can’t be what we actually are or become as a country.. I believe that the good people will always outnumber the evil people but damn… today was an alarming day in our country’s history.
2 kids lost a dad.. a wife lost a husband.. and societal discourse lost a voice.
RIP @charliekirk11.. I send my prayers, thoughts, and love to his family and friends.

Noah Bush, 8 years old, was found drowned in Jesup, Georgia in May 2024. He went out to play with neighborhood kids & never came home. After finding his body in a small body of water the sheriff’s office immediately announced it was accidental & for two months they did nothing.

I can safely say I've never been more disgusted with my country. The Iraq war era with all of its torture and bombing and displacement was grotesque but what we're witnessing right now is very clearly a genocide. The cherry on top is that I'm convinced on some level *everybody knows* it's a genocide. And yet the establishment continues to facilitate it.
The moral rot at the core of the power center of this country is so much more putrid and deranged than I could've ever imagined. The incentives are both financial and ideological. It's the perfect storm that culminates in ultimate evil right in front of our eyes.
