Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
Last night at a White House event to honor recipients of the Praemium Imperiale Laureates award, I ran into Hillary Clinton, who was there way back when I was an intern! It was fun to catch up...
Nice sentiments but until she moves out and refuses to campaign for him, she’s as big a phony as he is.
No, seriously. Considering she’s a popular First Lady and her poll numbers are better than his, her threatening not to go on the campaign trail could be a game changer.
Well I'm glad she's okay, I'm just surprised that it's the first time this has happened for a lady...you'd think after three years, at least one lady would've tested positive and then negative at some point, but ok....
Jesus. Conservative Dems stay tryna rehabilitate George Bush & the Reagans.
Pandering to conservatives and “honoring” Nancy Reagan at the beginning of Pride month is incredibly tone deaf. The Reagans had no honor whatsoever. What’s next, honoring Melania Trump on Indigenous People’s Day?

real talk though, PhD and MD are already different titles. Literally just ask “PhD or MD?” if you’re unclear what “kind” of Doctor someone is. It’s not that hard.
First lady Jill Biden spoke for only 14 minutes on the second leg of her "Women for Biden-Harris" tour — but that didn't stop Pro-Palestinian protesters from interrupting her remarks four separate times.
“It’s a genocide, Jill!” yelled one of the four demonstrators in Tucson Saturday morning as he was being forcibly escorted out of the venue by security. The main focus of the first lady’s remarks was supposed to be on women’s issues, including abortion rights, which could be on the ballot in Arizona come November.
“Extremist Republicans led by Donald Trump are passing laws that prevent women from getting the health care they need, including IVF,” said Biden. But within 13 seconds of beginning her remarks, the first protester piped up.
Fewer than two minutes later, the second followed. And within 30 seconds of the second disruption, the first lady offered an explanation for keeping her speech short.
"I'm sorry to have to come and go so quickly," said Biden.
"Wind storms in Nevada are impacting my travel," she added just after the demonstrator was hauled out of the theater.
Trash talk is a part of most sports, but it’s definitely a part of basketball.
Let’s break it down and get to the point: Angel Reese was humiliating Caitlin Clark. And she made the John Cena gesture at a time when Clark and Iowa had no possibility of winning. This made qwhite a few people mad. The real questions we need to be asking are 1) Why did it make them mad? Because Caitlin was expected to win and had already been dubbed the girl boss darling of the tournament. 2) Why weren’t those same people upset when Caitlin Clark told an opposing player to her face, “You’re down 15 points, shut up!”? Why was it cute “girl boss” when Caitlin was mean and rude to someone else, but it’s “poor sportsmanship” when Angel Reese gave it right back to her?? 3) Why are white people sooo comfortable making up brand new rules that suddenly advantage them but penalize others whenever they aren’t in the winner’s seat??
What all the upset white people are really saying is, Angel Reese did not show Caitlin Clark the “proper” amount of respect. Caitlin was supposed to be the inevitable winner.
And it doesn’t matter if Caitlin did the same thing to others. Because it very specifically burns white people up when a Black woman has the upper hand and isn’t suitably “kind” or not demure enough—even to someone who taunted the Black person first.
And for many of the selectively outraged people, it didn’t begin until Angel Reese did something wrong. That is sO very much like white history in America: ignore everything that happened preceding the event. Ignore or make excuses for everything that happened right up to the point where white people got mad.
The same thing happens every day in schools, politics and workplaces: except we call the double standards and made up rules “professionalism,” and certain white people are allowed to flaunt professionalism and other Black people are not.
Also, people saying this has nothing to do with race are lying. A predominantly Black team beat a predominantly white team. This is 2023 America and racism is alive and well.
Who do you think most of those players on the Iowa team are going to vote for in the next presidential election?
And it bears repeating again: Jill Biden inviting Caitlin Clark and the Iowa team to the White House is thee foulest, most white privileged, All-Lives-Matter kind of bullshit. Everyone is super focused on making sure that the white girl doesn’t feel bad.
Oh, last thing - it’s not against the rules of basketball to follow someone around on the court. Some people call that covering your opponent. If you follow (cover) the wrong person or don’t follow them well enough, ultimately your team loses points and loses the game. Just like Iowa lost. To LSU.
