More fun facts about new Storm Coach, Sonia Raman: she’s married to former WNBA player Milena Flores, who grew up in Snohomish, WA (30 miles north of Seattle). Flores played point guard at Stanford and then played for the Miami Sol for two seasons. Looks like she’s a BB coach now also.

A number of Raman's former players on the Liberty and Grizzlies are already publicly congratulating her on the Storm opportunity.

So many WNBA beat writers are pro ownership, just out here carrying water for the owners to maintain their access. Stop uncritically posting league talking points without context or fact checking!!! It only hurts the players!!!

An embarrassingly obvious point, but...

This. Is. Illegal.

If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.

In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.

It’s wild that outlets like @politico.com are helping Trump sell this lie. 🤥

THE AD IS NOT FAKE. Reagan said it.

Now Trump is hurting trade with Canada, which hurts Tennessee especially, because Ontario told the truth about Reagan’s tariff views.

The thing is journalists should constantly be thinking deeply and carefully about their word choices, especially dehumanizing language, and questioning why they use what they use and who benefits from it. The arrogance from the reporter is frankly embarrassing.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

A Christianity that causes the hungry to go without food, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be mistreated, and God’s creation to be ravaged, all while the greedy and cruel satisfy their every desire, is a Christianity that can no longer claim to follow Christ.
