🚨JUST IN: Donald Trump completely loses his shit during his presser.
TRUMP: “Who are you with?
MSNBC it's a fake, that's a fake deal. I won't even take your question. MSNBC gets the worst ratings in their history. Used to be MSDNC. It's one of the worst,
you're a fake network. MSNBC, what a joke you are.”
Seems like he’s taking the historic loss very well.

Russians are getting obliterated at the front.
My information from the frontline 🇺🇦 today :
"It’s absolute hell. We’re tearing them apart, honestly, the pounding they’re taking is something we've rarely seen. We don't wait them to attack us, over a stretch of 25–35 km, we’re hitting everything in sight."
In both the Dobropilla and Huliaipole directions (red squares), Russia is on the offensive, using all the human ressource available. On yellow areas, Ukraine still has the initiative and on the grey area, the situation is more or less stable.
70% of Russian losses infilcted by the drone forces these last few days (600 to 800 soldiers eliminated a day) is happening in the red squares.

He is nothing more than Putin's crony, incapable of criticizing his invader, murderer, and war criminal buddy. It's abhorrent.

Trump will attack just about anyone, but he can never bring himself to criticize Putin. We all know why.
Putin’s puppet

There's a whole lot of Miami fans complaining that the refs missed the call on the TD
Well if they are really big advocates for refs getting it right, that play should have been called back anyways for two holds that allowed Mensah to get free and make the pass even happen

Russian economist Vyacheslav Shiryaev warns that if Ukraine is not restrained by the US, it could wipe out russia’s entire refinery sector.
Ukraine needs only 2–3 weeks to get this job done. The National Wealth Fund is depleted, and the gold is gone. The regime is struggling with the massive costs of this war.
This is the time to step on the pedal and strike the money-making centers of this regime. All refineries, all Wildberries and Ozon facilities, all data centers.
Without fuel or money, russia will not be able to threaten anyone.
Meanwhile, Trump is working to appease russia and prevent Ukraine from hitting russian refineries.

8 Marines flew across six states to a quiet terminal in Montana to say a final goodbye to a fellow aged soldier. Bishop, a Belgian Malinois, served with them in Afghanistan for 7 grueling months. He walked ahead, logging 9 trained alerts and 9 microseconds where his sudden stillness froze the line behind him. One Marine said he has two children today because of this dog. Thank you for your service, Bishop! 🫡🇺🇸🫡🇺🇸
Good morning X.

Nothing to add on the play under college rules, but since I work on Sundays too, I think it’s worth discussing the ruling in the NFL.
On Sunday, the rule is: he must gain control, get 2 feet or another body part other than hand down inbounds, *AND* perform an act common to the game or have time to do so while maintaining control.
The NFL rule book lists specific acts that meet the last requirement, one of which is to take an additional step while maintaining control.
The bobble I mentioned is a clear loss of control and occurs before the additional step is clearly down. That makes this play an incomplete pass in the NFL as well.
Without that loss of control, he would have gotten the additional step down with control and it would have been a catch and touchdown.

Notre Dame left a major impression on Kellan Hall the #1 DL in the 2028 class. As he told me shortly after the game:
“One of the best college game day experiences that I’ve ever had. The fans, energy from the coaches, and rich history of the program made it special.”
Hall is scheduled to announce his commitment on Jan 3, 2027. He will be choosing between Notre Dame, Kentucky, Ohio State, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.

For years we were told Notre Dame had an “unfair advantage” because it didn't have to play a conference championship game.
So naturally, college football studied the problem carefully and came up with a solution:
Be more like Notre Dame.
Turns out Notre Dame wasn't behind the times.
We were just early☘️

Meet Rima, call sign Stitch, @rima_medUA.
She’s an American frontline combat medic in Ukraine, and she teaches soldiers hands-on tactical medicine.
Before the full-scale invasion, she worked in finance in Illinois. She came to Ukraine in 2022 as a humanitarian volunteer, started medical training in 2023, and worked her way up to the highest level of combat medic certification before enlisting.
Her shifts now happen at medevac and stabilization points, the places where the wounded get their first real chance.
Ask her what the hardest part is and she won’t say blood. She’ll say watching people suffer.

Here we go again. Reality has set in that his power will be checked so he goes with the big lie.
The polls weren’t wrong. They predicted exactly what happened. What polls was he reading? (I know; he doesn’t read.)

Miami fans still debating whether this was a catch.
Oh, it was. They caught the L ☘️
By rule, an L can be caught anywhere on the field. Possession does not have to be maintained.
