It is irrelevant whether Balogun deserved a red card. Referees make stupid decisions all the time. If personal diplomacy and power can override decisions and the USA wins, it means outcomes are being decided off the field. That's match-fixing, and the end of sports.

This is MMA fighter Sean McInnes. When Anne Marie Boyle asked him to leave her alone, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her cheekbone and her eye socket, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury. He was given less than two years behind bars. It would be a real shame if this post was widely circulated and impacted his career in a negative way.

I just got off a call with a friend in minneapolis I didn’t understand how bad the situation is right now, I don’t think any of us outside MSP do they were patrolling outside her window as I was talking to her there are thousands of them she (a white woman) now carries her passport with her when she leaves the house our call was interrupted by helicopters last year the ICE budget was $10B it’s now $85B this is coming to your doorstep soon the silence of CEOs and even Democratic leaders right now is shameful. if you don’t understand how 1930s Germany happened, this is how it happened. there’s nothing more unamerican. my grandpa manned a machine gun in the south pacific to fight this ideology. our constitutional rights are being shredded to pieces, and the powerful are bending their knee to it. i don’t care about your stance on immigration, if you support masked thugs terrorizing american communities, pointing guns at citizens and demanding papers, entering homes without warrants— please, take a hard look in the mirror and reevaluate the dissonance with your american values and the freedom your ancestors fought to give you.

BREAKING: Official reports from the Minneapolis Police and Fire departments finally reveal the truth about the killing of Renee Good — and the details are horrifying. The MAGA narrative just completely collapsed... NBC News reports that police files, fire response reports, and transcripts from 911 calls have revealed that Good was still alive when a Fire Emergency medical team arrived on scene. The report from that team stated that Good had "apparent gunshots" to her chest, forearm, and face and was "unresponsive, not breathing, with inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity." She was shot up to four times. While Trump and Kristi Noem have tried to smear Good as a "domestic terrorist," it's clear from the footage that she was simply an innocent woman trying to extricate herself from a mob of masked men. The fact that she was struck by so many bullets shows that ICE officer Jonathan Ross wasn't trying to defend himself, he was trying to kill her. This is what happens when you don't properly vet your recruits, strap them with weapons, tell them they're above the law, mask them, and set them loose. Bloodthirsty men sign up looking for an opportunity to inflict violence on others. The first 911 calls from the scene came in at 9:38 a.m. local time and the killer fled the scene at 10:04 a.m. He wasn't concerned about the fact that he took a woman's life, he was concerned about saving his own skin. “They just shot a lady. Point blank range in her car…. She’s f*cking dead," one caller told 911 dispatchers. “I had to walk away because I have young kids, and ICE is everywhere over there," said another, painting a clear picture of the terror that ICE has inflicted on these communities. One caller told the dispatchers that the ICE agents "shot her [because] she wouldn’t open her car door. Send an ambulance please, ambulance please.” “ICE fired two shots through her windshield into the driver. She tried to drive away but crashed into the nearest vehicle that was parked," said another caller. Note that they didn't say that Good was attacking the agents with her car. She was trying to drive away. Suspiciously, "large parts" of the 911 call logs have been redacted and blacked out (reminiscent of what the Trump administration did with the Epstein files). The covered up portions are labeled "Law Enforcement." What possible reason could the authorities have for hiding details about this killing? The answer is obvious. They want to tightly control the entire narrative around this murder so that they can paint Good as a villain and the ruthless ICE goon who slew her as an upstanding law enforcement agent. America isn't falling for it. They must release the full details immediately. Please ❤️ and share to demand the full release of the reports!

The bastard offspring of Joseph Goebells and Comical Ali. "If I can shoot rabbits, then I can shoot fascists." (If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next)
It took a European journalist to finally ask this neo-nazi monster the kind of questions American journalists have failed to ask her on a daily basis for almost a year now.

The insidious infiltration of online gambling into our collective culture and the tidal wave of gambling addiction that’s emerging as a result is one of THE most underreported stories in the world today.

BREAKING: Pulitzer Board turns the tables on Trump in defamation lawsuit — demands discovery of ALL his finances and medical records in explosive legal fight. Donald Trump thought he could bully and intimidate the Pulitzer Prize Board into submission. Instead, the Board just hit back — hard. According to a new report from Law & Crime, members of the Pulitzer Prize Board are fighting Trump’s lawsuit with sweeping discovery demands that could pry open one of his most closely guarded secrets: his finances. After Trump sued the Board for standing by Pulitzer-winning reporting on his links to Russia — reporting that he despises — the Board is now insisting that if Trump wants to litigate, he’s going to have to play by the rules — and answer uncomfortable questions under oath. Trump’s lawsuit claims the Board defamed him by refusing to retract awards given to journalists whose reporting detailed his ties to Russia. But the Board isn’t backing down. Instead, its lawyers are demanding broad discovery, including documents and testimony that go directly to Trump’s wealth, business interests, medical history, and credibility — areas that have long proven hazardous terrain for the president. In court filings, the Board argues that Trump himself made his finances relevant by repeatedly injecting claims about his success, reputation, and damages into the case. In other words: if Trump says the reporting hurt his standing, then the truth about his money matters — a lot. Legal experts say this is a classic “be careful what you wish for” moment. Trump has spent years attacking journalists, institutions, and independent watchdogs, assuming intimidation would be enough. But discovery cuts both ways. If this case proceeds, Trump could be forced to turn over records he has spent decades concealing and sit for depositions that can’t be spun away with late-night rants on social media. The Pulitzer Board’s message is unmistakable: they’re not afraid of Trump, and they’re not rewriting history because he doesn’t like it. The awards were granted, the reporting stands, and now Trump may have to answer — in a courtroom, not on Truth Social. This legal counterpunch also exposes the deeper irony of Trump’s crusade. A man who claims to champion “free speech” is trying to punish journalists for doing their jobs — while crying victim when those journalists, and the institutions that defend them, refuse to cave. If Trump thought this lawsuit would intimidate the press, it may end up doing the opposite. By opening the door to discovery into his finances and credibility, he’s handed his critics exactly what they’ve been asking for: accountability. And this time, it won’t be decided by a rally crowd or a rage post — it’ll be decided under oath. Please like and share if you can’t wait to see how this turns out!
