Forrest Gump is a nostalgic film. But not for the reason you’re thinking. youtu.be/FUgB9JXDcA4?...

This is 100% correct. Whether or not one agrees with their conclusions, what is being sold is a path to success both personally & economically. That is very appealing to many Americans, particularly young men.

Zero percent chance Trump doesn’t take credit for the selection of the first American Pope.

This US Open Cup matchup has given us two of the best teams AND best kits #MLS and #USL have to offer!

There is a different version of the Christian faith, one that is far removed from the political headlines. This faith loves its enemies. It mends the broken heart. And it declares, by word and deed, that no one is too lost to experience the love of God. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/o...

After falling behind 1-0, what an answer by The Boys in Purple! @loucity.com

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Bernie Sanders is the only person to deliver a speech at both Coachella and Liberty University. youtu.be/rRaCL-IEShA?...

Really good crowd tonight in Lexington. Was it the great weather? Was it the $5 tickets and promotional drinks? Or was it a result of the video by @soccerzombie.com ?

Home Opener for Louisville City! youtube.com/shorts/g0mNG...

Playing in Lexington is great, but tough draw for The Cards. #MarchMadness

What Presidents used to sound like: “Let us not forget that we are fighting for peace, and for the welfare of mankind. […] There is not one piece of territory, or one thing of a monetary nature that we want out of this war. We want peace and prosperity for the world as a whole!” -Harry Truman, 1945

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

“They have shamed us in the eyes of the world” - Woodrow Wilson

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

I think I’m going to start a Fraternal Order of Social Studies teachers. We can get meet, vent, & brainstorm ways we can explain the current state of the world to our students. All while embarking on a mission to save the republic through civic education. Who’s in? #history #education #socialstudies

We should never forget that in addition to being incredibly destructive, these guys are really incompetent. This is inexcusable.

There are few things I love more than a college basketball court with a team logo surrounded by an outline of a state at mid court . Cal’s is particularly nice.

Happy #GroundhogDay youtu.be/-JiFDS9W50c?...

In celebration of the sacred day of Groundhog Day, please take a listen to the fun conversation I had w/ Christopher Maloney. And while you’re at it, subscribe for more great movie conversations. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

O-H-I-O!!!!! National Champs!! #CFPlayoff #OhioState #Buckeyes

A thread: No one should be rooting for a hastily written executive order to save TikTok or even worse a "Truth" by the incoming president that he will not enforce the ban/sale. Such actions would only further erode our institutions and further strengthen the executive.

Who would have thought that after two weeks of airing it out and video game numbers, the Buckeyes would need to rely upon hard nosed running and goal line defense to seal the deal? You know, old school Big Ten football. You love to see it. #CFPlayoff #Cottonbowl

O-H !!!!!!! #CFPlayoff #OhioState #CottonBowl

Forget the Kentucky Derby, Jack Sawyer's 83-yard fumble return for Ohio State is the most exciting 2 minutes in sports #CFBPlayoff

Captain Jack! #CFPlayoff #OhioState

Everything has gone downhill since the unforced error by Henderson. This is the Ohio State that showed up against Michigan, not the team we’ve seen the past two games. Time for some halftime adjustments. #CottonBowl

Jimmy Carter has a fair claim to being the most effective former president his country ever had, Todd S. Purdum writes:

In the past few years I’ve really come to appreciate the voice @mcuban.bsky.social has lent to a variety of important issues from healthcare, to the economy, to the way technology is rapidly transforming our lives. His perspective is refreshing. I hope he’ll continue to offer it in the years to come

Tuning in to The Golden Globes for a few minutes to see very talented men and women win awards for films and movies I’ve never even heard of let alone seen. Am I old or does everyone feel this way?

Jeremiah Smith is playing like a man possessed. #RoseBowl #Buckeyes

Here are the 5 Best Books I read in 2024… 1. The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt 2. Remaking the World: How 1776 Created the Post-Christian West by Andrew Wilson 3. You Never Forget Your First by Alexis Coe 4. Garden City by John Mark Comer 5. Of Boys and Men by Richard Reeves

I don't think we fully appreciate the legacy of Jimmy Carter's Camp David Accords -- one of the most monumental achievements in modern diplomacy. This last year has been dreadful. Without the accords, it would have been infinitely worse. Diplomacy can help end enmity.

I’ve only been following the Premier League for a few seasons now, but man have I enjoyed watching Mo Salah. So much fun to watch.

President Biden: "[T]o all of the young people in this nation and for anyone in search of what it means to live a life of purpose and meaning – the good life – study Jimmy Carter, a man of principle, faith, and humility. He showed that we are great nation because we are a good people."

James Earl Carter Jr. A great role model for young men: —Served his country (Navy Submariner) —Graduate Work in Nuclear Physics —Married 77 years —Entrepreneur —39th President —Nobel Peace Prize —Author, 30 Books —Habitat for Humanity Volunteer —Sunday School Teacher RIP

President Carter represented the best of what politics and public service can be. He wanted America to be better and he led by example. I’m so sorry we let him down. May he Rest in Peace.
