This interception by Dillon Thieneman will go down as one of the most iconic plays in Oregon football history. I thought the win at home against Ohio State last year was unbelievable. This game was better #GoDucks

Pope Leo Slams Trump, Vance, and Hegseth All in One Go

Pope Leo XIV had no kind words for this administration’s stance on immigration, war, or what it means to be “pro-life.”

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

Great game and great win for Virginia but they really need to do something about storming the field. Someone can really get hurt. It looked like the players on the final play could have been trampled

George Carlin was way ahead of his time...

MSNBC played a clip of George Carlin talking about the FCC. A classic.

Another great game as Dennis Schroder scored the last six points in the game as Germany beat Turkiye 88-83 to win the FIBA #EuroBasket2025. Issac Bonga was big for Germany with 20 points hitting all 4 of his 3's. Sengun with 28 and Osman 23 for Turkiye

Greece held off a great Finland comeback and escaped with a 92-89 win for 3rd place at the FIBA Eurobasket. Giannis led the way with 30 points, 17 rebounds + 6 assists. Ex-Oregon player Tyler Dorsey added 20 points on 5-9 from 3. #GoDucks #Eurobasket

He ran as a peace candidate and wants the Nobel Peace Prize. Now he is declaring war on Democratic cities in America with his new Department of War. To say nothing about Venezuela.
