I found this a good read. Much needed. Perhaps giving Trump a little too much “3D chess” credit but I think it captures how Trump views the world and his power.

I have never been a big advocate of protests that interrupt sacred spaces, but the fact that the right is 1000x angrier about a protest in a church than a woman murdered by a federal agent is…revealing.

every single guardrail on earth is lining up to tell this wet old demented bitch to dial it down on greenland except for his own party, which is so fucking scared of being murdered by his supporters they will gladly plunge this world into chaos.

I never understand why people who tout their moderate and centrist credentials aren't directly asked about this.

The LA Rams kicker scored 8 of his team's 20 points in the overtime win against the Bears last night

The postgame video after a crazy Rams overtime win over the Bears to advance to the NFC Title Game.

On the growing resilience of a team that’s been in so many chaotic finishes:

More playoff wins than Rams had wins over a 3 year stretch from '08-'10 and a few two year stretch during the dark days in the 2000
With the Rams’ victory tonight, Sean McVay tied Hall of Famer Don Shula for the most playoff wins for any coach in NFL history before turning 45 years old (10).

Asked Matthew Stafford about the throw he made to Davante Adams in OT (and Adams’ catch):

100%. They broke the Rams spirit with that play. I think they could've walked it in. Everyone was stunned.
I think Ben Johnson is going to spend the offseason regretting not going for two at the end of regulation. They gave the Rams everything and needed a miracle play to be in position. Why not take the swing?

The Catch in '99
(Faulk made the 2nd half easy in '01)
OT win after THAT PBU in '18
10 point 4th quarter comeback '21
....light work
In all my years as a Rams fan going back to the GSOT days the Rams have never lost the NFC Championship game in four attempts. Crazy. The 5th one is gonna be the toughest by far.

Up until today Matt Stafford had thrown for multiple TD passes in every playoff game with the Rams. Today he had zero. Rams won. QB wins is a crappy stat.

For BOTH the true NFC West Champ AND both teams playing for a shot at revenge against the Pats in the SB
Rams vs Seahawks III coming up.

As I said after his first FG tonight. He just got his bad one out of his system early.
Rams vs Seahawks III coming up.

Rams earned the right to once again prove who the ULTIMATE winner of the NFC West is. Just like in Stafford's first SB run. The Rams revenge tour is STILL on AND.....it could wind up against the PATS in the SB. From a nightmare 4th down to the dream of cold revenge still alive

ALWAYS BE TALKING ABOUT SPECIAL TEAMS!! @JourdanRodrigue The FG unit is the SAVIOR OF THE DAY!!
January 19, 2026 at 3:03 AM
This is going to come down to the Rams special teams. This is why the Rams signed Mevis but we said SOOO many times that the season would depend on our FG kicker.
January 19, 2026 at 3:01 AM
Stafford. Puka. They were off sooo much this game but when it counted most. BOOM
January 19, 2026 at 3:00 AM
That's a catch!! What were ya'll saying about for the good
January 19, 2026 at 2:56 AM
Thank you Cam Curl. Rams are now PLUS THREE in TURNOVERS. You HAVE TO WIN THIS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
January 19, 2026 at 2:54 AM
Caleb Williams is snatching the Rams souls. They are done.
January 19, 2026 at 2:49 AM
WHYYYYYYY MCVAY WHYYYYYY YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO HORIZONTAL ON THEM
January 19, 2026 at 2:46 AM
If Stafford doesn't go into GOD mode the Rams just got their souls snatched. That's the type of play that hurts a team for YEARS.
January 19, 2026 at 2:40 AM
I TOLD YOU THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CALEB WOULD DO!! I TOLD YOU HE WAS SUCH A HORRIBLE MATCH UP FOR THE RAMS
January 19, 2026 at 2:39 AM
THIS IS EVERYTHING I FEARED. THIS IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE. THIS IS EVERYTHING I NEVER WANTED TO SEE
