The oddsmakers had Belal Muhammad retaining his title, but most of The MMA Draw staff had JDM winning.

I know it might seem too early to take a look at the Senate. But candidates are making decisions about whether to run pretty much now, and Democrats’ chances will go from snowball’s-chance-in-hell to actually-somewhat-viable if they field strong recruits.

Can Democrats really win the Senate in 2026?

Now that it has been conclusively shown that the use of the 1952 law to detain non-citizen students targets speech only, all those who believe in free speech will call for Rubio to stop using that law.

I mean: someone in America was just detained for six weeks by the federal government for criticizing Israel. There was no evidence provided of any crime or immigration violation but a single op-ed.

Keep me posted if I miss something. But right now, there’s a lot of silence.

Feels like yesterday that Thomas Müller had his great coming out party at the 2010 World Cup.

Clint, your post has struck a chord within me in more ways than one! Regarding your main topic, I have to refrain from going into detail, but I will say that I have a lot of experience dealing with UHG's "Satanic Trinity" (UHC, Optum, and OptumRx). Nothing too life-threatening, but I've lost count of the full-blown panic attacks these entities have triggered in me over the years! Regarding the more humorous aspects of your message, I would like to thank you! I no longer feel guilty about findin…

Hiya, Mike! Your comment cracked me up...and cheered me up. I was hoping he'd "disappear" and be a modern-day D.B. Cooper. But seems a McDonald's employee is a better investigator than the NYPD and FBI combined. Sorry you too have some PTSD from the un-holy trinity. Hope they are in the rear-view mirror and you're still healthy, wealthy, and wise. As for the dream, I don't recall endowments--mostly because I rarely remember irl...weird I know. As for the suspect, I'm sure we're gonna find out more than we want to know in coming days. Mainstream media already seems to be dissecting him like a biology class frog. Stupid vultures. Like I said, I don't condone violence, but I won't mourn the loss of the CEO of a predatory corporation responsible for so many lost lives and broken lives. Cheers to your health and well-being!
