Kat bypasses a layup to kick out to Hart and Brunson passing it inside to Hart is insanely low IQ basketball as a team… read it again. passing to a 6’4” man inside and a 7ft man kicking it to the same man outside who’s not a great shooter is pure idiocy #KNICKS #KnicksSky #KnicksBlueSkies

When Toronto’s city council originally considered a #WorldCup bid back in 2018, they were told it would cost no more than $45 M. That figure is now $380 M. Vancouver’s story is no different. Despite an original price tag of $240  M, it’s now expected to cost $624 M. #Toronto #Vancouver

This is political satire—not a Jewish control trope—and it lands because Americans recognize it. Some will label it antisemitic to dodge criticism—that’s a way uncomfortable commentary gets shut down. But when something hits SNL stage this hard, it’s tapping into broader popular culture sentiment.🤦🏿‍♂️

In the spirit of this year’s theme, “Committed to Serve Together,” our government is taking action by hiring 1,000 more RCMP personnel across the country and strengthening the Criminal Code to better protect Canadians. #NationalSafety #OakvilleWest

If you want $3 gas, you’re going to have to wait six years. Thanks, Trump.

Retarded Americans are just taking the pounding

🚨🇺🇸 Oil prices have been crashed, with May being put on pace for the biggest monthly drop in 6 years — a decline of roughly -20%.

A gas tax holiday talks about 18.4¢ while ignoring the $1.50 problem. That's politics, not policy. And half of it likely goes straight to oil company profits. Congress knows this. Some just hope you don't.

When the US goes to war for oil, working people get screwed over. Innocent people are killed abroad while our energy bills here at home skyrocket in cost, all in the name of fossil fuels that destroy our planet. When I’m in Congress, I’ll fight to cut war spending & to build public renewable power.
