“When was Joe Biden president?” remains the most difficult question in politics
Who was the president in 2018 when you lost your show?
Who was the president in 2023 when you got your new show?

If Biden made a gaffe this egregious and embarrassing it would be front page news in the New York Times. But now it's just Trump being Trump!
Trump has difficultly pronouncing "Azerbaijan" while taking credit for ending a war between "Azerbaijan and Albania" (he meant Armenia)

How has no media member questioned Trump on the Albania/Azerbaijan war that literally does not exist?

Charlie Kirk wasn't my neighbor. He was a BIGOT. Charlie Kirk hated Black people. White people will NEVER get it.
COMMENTARY: We're not enemies. We're neighbors who disagree. Americans must stand united against political violence even if some of our leaders won't.

As a Jew, I constantly feel like we are pawns in their games. All words, no actions to protect us; and when they do take action it’s to help Israel more than to help Jews
An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.
The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts
Social media accounts that appear to be connected to the 16-year-old shooter are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

Does the capitol building count?
Trump: "If you so much as touch or even think about destroying a statue or monument in Washington DC you go to jail for 10 years."

Ah, he's going to deploy the police in a strategic perimeter around the Epstein Files. Now I get it.
Trump announces he's placing the DC police department "under direct federal control" and deploying the National Guard in the city

New in PN: Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating.
"The fact that crime is down conflicts with the ever-present right-wing narrative of a nationwide crime epidemic. So Republicans are resorting to sensationalizing random street fights."

It is a very safe city, especially relative to where it was a few decades ago. This is gross theatrics to pretend to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. This is an introduction to a police state

Peavy is a 6'7 forward.
- Elite defender
- Great athlete
- Outstanding finisher with creativity at the rim + finishing through contact.
He's also a steals generating machine

I think we are going to see a lot of spillover from the finals in the draft this week since it’s a copycat league. The areas I think we’ll notice a stock bump for non lottery guys on will be:
Defense
Depth value (I would call this the TJ McConnell effect)
Shooting depth for bottom of the roster
