Much congrats to a gritty UConn team that wouldn’t give up. For all those people out there trying to criticize Jon Scheyer, he is one helluva coach and one of the class acts in our game. He played the toughest schedule and ended as the #1 overall seed. Championships will be in his future. UConn players and coaches, you have my utmost respect🫡

The fastest way to expose yourself as a casual? Call Scheyer a choker.

BREAKING: In NYC at the “No Kings” rally, demonstrators waved Communist flags.
No kings, but yes Communist dictators.

I've seen many pro athletes and coaches in similar situations decline to take questions from the media, and frankly I don't blame them. Cayden Boozer is a college freshman and handled this with incredible grace and professionalism. Much respect to him and his family. He was raised well.

Jon Scheyer at Duke:
Culture: A+
Offensive execution: A+
Defensive scheme: A+
Toughness: A+
Recruiting: A+
Growth Mindset: A+
All while representing Duke at the highest level with respect, humility and appreciation - this video is him every day. Duke is incredibly blessed by Jon & the elite hoopers wearing that jersey.

Alignment wins. The leadership of Vincent Price and Nina King has set the stage for an unprecedented feat: winning the ACC in football and in men’s and women’s basketball. The standard is excellence, and the result is championships. 🏆🏆🏆

True. The @nytimes should be ashamed of itself.
Convicted murderers serving life terms are not “hostages.” Yet the @nytimes can't help itself in a parting shot of vile reporting by calling this an “exchange of hostages.” That is not sloppy wording, it is willful inversion of reality, whitewashing terror and smearing Israel.

The least the @nytimes could do, would be to post the correction of their starving boy story on their main site with 55 million followers. That would help mitigate the damage they have caused.
It speaks loudly that the original story was on the front page, top-of-the-fold right column, and the correction is on some Times PR site that no one follows.
The correction of a story published to 55 million followers was sent to only 80k followers. Clearly, a purposeful obfuscation to bury the retraction.
Why is the Editor in Chief Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn allowing this to happen, or worse, serving as a principal factor in the story and in the fake correction?
With a story of this prominence, he has to have been involved in the editing and in the strategy around the correction.
And stories like this lead lunatics to kill. It’s not just the reputational smear of a country, it’s a call to violence against Jews.
Tell me why I am wrong.
The New York Times published an image of a child in Gaza, claiming the child was “malnourished” due to Israel, on its main account with 55 million followers.
Five days later, it quietly posted a correction, stating the child actually had a muscle condition, on its alternate account with just 89 thousand followers.

Sad day for New York City. Right when it was coming back, it may elect a crime-loving, anti-Capitalist, anti-Semitic, socialist who really thinks city-run grocery stores and scaring away the tax base will work. Really pathetic and sad. Someone should run against in the fall. Working class mostly voted for the other guy, lol. Because they are smarter than the young “progressive” entitled, “educated”, pampered generation, who cannot answer basic economics questions, and have no historical knowledge.

Dear the WW3 crowd,
How are you feeling now?
What are the odds that Israel + America's combined actions were a historical success?
If we avoid any material escalation, while destroying Iran's nuclear program, will you reflect on your views?
Your friend,
Shaun

The Anti-Israel fanaticism of the far left is entirely to blame for the erosion of Jewish support.

Former PM of Israel Naftali Bennett responds to university encampments:
“Well, I don’t give a damn what some snotty student whose parents are spending $100,000 to study gender studies at Harvard thinks whether I have or don’t have a right to live in my homeland.”

Tonight, I was invited to sit front row as President Trump laid out a new policy: colleges that violate federal law by discriminating against Jewish students will immediately lose their accreditation. This is a bipartisan, common-sense idea that both candidates should endorse
Super excited to have @simrangsuri join our team. We spent nine months and interviewed over 200 candidates. She had the best combination of clarity of thought, work ethic, consumer DNA, EQ, IQ and fit with our team. LFG!
a very exciting personal update ✨
I’m joining the @Maveron team as an early-stage investor!

How would @Columbia respond if the students took over campus in support of the KKK and called for the genocide of other ethnic minorities?
Would @Columbia continue to support the demonstrations on the basis of a commitment to free speech or would the University’s code of conduct suddenly have operative impact?
Even as the Two Chairs team has grown, their culture has remained small. This has enabled more intimate relationships within the team and between clients and clinicians.
Reflecting on this milestone brings me back to the founding of Maveron and the values we hold dear. In 1998, my friend @HowardSchultz and I founded Maveron to help entrepreneurs build companies that improve the lives of everyday people—their employees and their customers.
