a lesson in let’s hear the facts first
🚨 LISTEN: 911 call DEBUNKS viral claim. The league director reported a disruptive parent following him, insulting him and recording him for Instagram. “There's a parent here just really, really disruptive. Like following me, following me around and talk-- calling me names in, in front of this whole bunch of people that's here, so I want her to be gone.” Police were not called because her son scored too many goals. The viral narrative was nonsense. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Time to have a real conversation about not allowing men to buy tickets to these games
A'ja Wilson on her altercation with a fan in Game 2 vs. the Fever, via @robinlundberg: "If I see a man come at me, taking steps towards me and pointing at me... I don’t give a damn what you said … It's unacceptable."

Former professional tennis player Patrick McEnroe highlights how international recruits now make up over 60% of Division I tennis rosters—and over 90% at some universities. He warns that tennis serves as an early indicator of a trend now spreading across all college sports, which could increasingly displace American student-athletes.

California schools are closing as enrollment collapses across the state. More than 19,000 students are starting the year without a school after nearly 75,000 kids disappeared from the system in a single year. The state’s population also edged down. Families are leaving, the birth rate has cratered, and the classrooms are going dark. This isn’t a funding problem. California spends record amounts on education. It’s a people problem. When the cost of living drives families out and the birth rate falls far below replacement, the buildings eventually empty no matter how much money you throw at them. Demographics don’t negotiate. They just win.

When a state’s test scores rank near the bottom nationally, saying “Look at our rising graduation rates!” isn't a success story.

she’s not even a useful idiot. there is no way in the f’ing world if 11 trans women existed who could start for the USWNT that she would put up with that shite for one second
Let’s do a world-wide test. At the pro level: let’s remove men’s & women’s sports & let’s select the best athletes for their sport regardless of their gender. Let’s start with the Premier League as our guinea pig. World: who’s being selected and why?

West Virginia invests more than $2.5 billion in public education every year. But too much of our system is driven from the top down, with layers of administration. This limits the flexibility our local school districts need to meet the unique needs of their students.

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world. And they are not handling it well. In the best possible way. Here is what they are discovering: Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time. Free water at every restaurant. Just appears. Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited. Free chips and salsa before you even order. Free warm bread with dinner. Ice in drinks like civilized people. Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact. Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going. Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it. Ranch dressing by the gallon. Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced. Dental care that actually works. Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s. Then they found the grocery stores. Five of them within one mile. Each one the size of an aircraft hangar. Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday. The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes. In silence. Processing. They finally understand why we do not have trains. We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive. Parking lots the size of small European countries. Airports in every city worth visiting. Why would we need trains. The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle. The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak. The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre. The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas. Welcome to America! The greatest country on earth.

I told Senator Sheldon WhiteClub today that I won’t be listening to or caring about any of his lessons on morality knowing that he joined an all-white Rhode Island Country Club. I’m also done with the likes of AOC, Al Gore, John Kerry, and the rest of the lying cabal that make stupid climate predictions, plunder tens of billions of tax dollars, enrich their well-connected allies, and are committed to strangulating out of existence entire sectors of our economy. Climate alarmist AOC wants to be taken seriously while also insisting the world is imminently about to end due to climate change (Just under 5 years remain on her nutty Jan 2019 prediction that only 12 years of life are left on Earth). Al Gore is now speaking publicly about his concern with global freezing after decades of grift talking about global warming. “Within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro,” said Gore in 2006 (There’s still snow on Kilimanjaro year-round). Gore also predicted in 2009 ice-free Arctic summers within 5-7 years. John Kerry warned in 2009 that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013. These people are dishonest, power-hungry hacks. The GREEN NEW SCAM is DEAD!!!

"Satchel Paige had a very, very good fastball... but the first time I faced Satchel, he threw me a little breaking ball just to see what I could do, and I hit it off the top of the fence. I got a double. When I got to second base, Satchel told the third baseman, 'Let me know when that little boy comes back up.' Three innings later, I go to kneel down in the on-deck circle and I hear the third baseman say, 'There he is.' Satch looked at the third baseman, and then he looked at me. I walk halfway to home plate and he says, 'Little boy.' I say, 'Yes, sir?' because Satch was much older than I am, so I was trying to show respect. Satch walked halfway to home plate and said, 'Little boy, I'm not going to trick you. I'm going to throw you three fastballs and you're going to go sit down'. And I'm saying in my mind, 'I DOOON'T THINK SOOO. If Satch threw me three of the same pitch, I'm going to hit it somewhere. I turned to the catcher and asked, “What does he mean?” The catcher told me, “He’s going to throw you three fast balls. Nothing else.” Satchel threw me two fastballs and I just swung... I swung right through it.... and the third ball he threw, and I tell people this all the time, he threw the ball and as he let go he said, 'Go sit down.' This is while the ball was in the air. Yes, he struck me out with three pitches. He was just magnificent." 17 year old Willie Mays.

This is how you coach any sport
Curt Cignetti has a fascinating philosophy...don't waste anyone's time, coaches not expected to work nights just get work done, limited practice to keep players healthy

hey Pablo, I was sexually assaulted as a teenager and THEN I was forced to undress with Lia Thomas in a locker room 18 times per WEEK I was on the team. He is a man. It was disgusting, violating and traumatizing. Is that enough for you to understand?
Context: Simone Biles got sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar. Riley Gaines now seems to get paid to accuse Lia Thomas of doing something similar… …while ALSO never speaking aloud about her male coach/“best friend” getting banned for life after multiple rape allegations at UK:

Glad to see yet another county school board take fiscally responsible action by approving a common-sense plan to right-size their school buildings based on declining enrollment. Taxpayers simply cannot afford to continue paying for half empty buildings all across West Virginia.
Roane County’s school board did the hard thing — and the right thing. Facing a $3 million deficit, shrinking population, and a situation that may only grow worse, they voted 4-1 to consolidate schools. No formula tweak from Charleston can fix that. Leadership isn’t doing what’s easy — it’s doing what’s necessary. Commentary: Roane County Board Made the Right Call wvmetronews.com/2025/11/06/r…
