Ranked all 32 @NFL teams by controlling owner’s public political lean, most conservative (1) to most liberal (32). Based on donations, affiliations, and family/industry record

CBS found that people's medical insurance was being billed for procedures they'd never had, by a random LLC in a strip mall. The office was totally empty except that it was teeming with medical billing records, run by a man named Mohammed Quadri. cbsnews.com/chicago/news/cry…

Since 2020, @ChiPubSchools has lost 24,000 students. Nevertheless, they hired 8,250 more staff and grew their budget by a remarkable $2.4 billion. Now Illinois taxpayers are footing the bill for their record-breaking $10.11 billions budget, while only 27% of grade-school kids can do math at grade level. Consider the additional fact that over 40% of CPS teachers missed 10+ days of school last year, and it becomes painfully clear that CPS leadership is running a highly political jobs program for under-achieving adults, and not an education service for children. illinoispolicy.org/chicago-p…

Bill Maher is basically the only prominent Democrat telling the truth about what the modern left has become and how they’ve misled an entire generation of young people into believing things that aren’t true

17. @Buccaneers - Glazer family
Split internally. Some Glazers have given heavily to Democrats, which pulls the group off the far-right end. 18. @packers - community-owned
No controlling private owner. Wisconsin community structure is the least personal-ideology case; parked in the conservative-to-center band as a practical compromise. 19. @Vikings - Zygi Wilf
Some Democratic giving in older cycles; not a mega-donor either way. 20. @Saints - Gayle Benson
Relatively low national partisan profile compared with the biggest check-writers. 21. @Lions - Sheila Ford Hamp
Modest giving; Ford family is not a high-volume national partisan player. 22. @Colts - Carlie Irsay-Gordon
Short public federal record as controlling owner after Jim Irsay’s death. 23. @Commanders - Josh Harris
Private-equity background; not a standout mega-donor on either side in NFL-owner studies. 24. @49ers - Jed York / York family
Relatively low partisan footprint versus the league’s biggest political spenders.

9. @chargers - Dean Spanos / Spanos family
Historically GOP-leaning donation pattern. 10. @HoustonTexans - Cal McNair / McNair family
Bob McNair was a prominent Republican donor; the family profile remains conservative. 11. @ChicagoBears - George McCaskey / McCaskey family
George’s federal giving is mostly Gridiron PAC and low-volume. Virginia McCaskey’s record is the better signal: Illinois Republicans, Family PAC (anti-abortion), and support for conservative primary challenges. Socially conservative family ownership, not a national mega-donor. 12. @Raiders - Mark Davis
Lower public profile; family/business posture generally right-of-center rather than a loud partisan actor. 13. @Titans - Amy Adams Strunk
Some Republican giving and an oil-family background; not a top-tier national donor. 14. @Jaguars - Shahid Khan
Mixed: Trump inauguration gift and GOP giving, plus some Democratic contributions and public criticism of the travel ban. 15. @RamsNFL - Stan Kroenke
Historically more Republican than Democratic, with hedging and a large 2017 inauguration gift. 16. @BuffaloBills - Terry Pegula
Energy-industry fortune; donation pattern generally Republican-leaning.

1. @Broncos - Rob Walton / Walton-Penner group
Largest Republican donor among NFL owners by a wide margin in recent cycles. 2. @nyjets - Woody Johnson
Longtime GOP mega-donor and Trump-appointed ambassador to the UK. 3. @Panthers - David Tepper
Large sums to Republican presidential vehicles (Haley, Christie, and related PACs). 4. @Browns - Jimmy Haslam
Consistent high-dollar Republican giving, often with Dee Haslam. 5. @dallascowboys - Jerry Jones
Significant Republican contributions in recent cycles; longtime conservative-aligned owner. 6. @Chiefs - Clark Hunt / Hunt family
Oil-and-energy fortune; Hunt family giving has been overwhelmingly Republican. 7. @Bengals - Mike Brown
Long record of Republican candidate and committee donations. 8. @AZCardinals - Michael Bidwill
Regular Republican contributions; not a mega-donor, but consistently right-leaning.

Well, what do we have here. Sometimes it’s just too obvious.

Bought a 26 Escalade Platinum Sport for road trips and what a piece of shit. -rough gear changes -uneven acceleration between gears -jerky downshifting -loud clanks when switching between 2wd and 4wd -infotainment system is a massive cluster fuck. -everything rattles -driver’s seat shifts back when accelerating and forward when braking -wind noise from the driver’s window -auto open doors are awful and motors make constant noise. and when you turn it off you’re fighting the motors to open and close -phone wireless charging overheated and died -doesnt have enough braking power -nothing is where is should be, nothing is accessible. (ex: you have to go 3-4 levels deep in their screen to turn lights off and on) -the infotainment wheel is completely useless because it doesnt navigate anything properly and you have to reach up and deal with this stupid large screen. -can’t permanently turn this annoying stop start thing off -seat belt beep goes off if you’re not buckled BEFORE you start the car. -the auto brake feature is completely retarded and slams the brakes on for no reason - fwd and reverse -list not exhaustive by any stretch Fucking garbage. This is America, we should be better than this!

I turn 50 today. This is a message to my kids but I offer it to you in case any of it rings useful. I was born in Sri Lanka in 1976 in a country that, at the time, was about to enter a decades long civil war. My father was able to get stationed at the Sri Lankan High Commission in Canada for four years in the early 80s - when some of the fighting was most severe - and which from our vantage point in Canada gave us some respite from an otherwise omnipresent conflict. He came as a diplomat but then my father filed for refugee status after four years when his life was threatened by militants. We stayed in Canada as refugees. My dad never really landed on his feet and we grew up on welfare. My mom stepped up. She did an incredible thing and put our family on her back and kept marching forward. Sometimes the steps were very small but she always tried to keep moving forward. I worked at Burger King starting at 14, giving my paycheck to my mom and dad to support our family in the role that I was assigned - earn enough to pay for our bus passes because we couldn’t afford a car. I was a loser growing up. Some friends, some good memories but mostly forgettable and lonely. I wasn’t very studious but did get my act together in my final year and got into a great university. I immigrated to the US soon after graduating and found an opportunity. Things clicked and I have been traveling a path to find myself ever since. Only in America is this possible… I worked hard, followed the rules, paid my taxes and stayed in California out of loyalty for the opportunities it has given me despite its dysfunction. I found my wife here. Had my kids here. Found my tribe here. There have been some very hard times as well - deaths, divorce, financial pain, mistakes of omission and mistakes of commission. You can’t dwell on these things - they are weights that will pull you down if you’re not careful. Learn from them. Respect them. BUT MOVE ON. To think 50 years ago I could have ever gotten a chance to meet the people I’ve met and have had the experiences I’ve had would have been mind boggling to my parents. It’s mind boggling to me now. We forget often and try to convince others it’s not true but America truly is the best country in the world. Everything and anything is possible here. I can testify. Be grateful to be here. This is the only place that gives EVERYONE a chance to live a great adventure. The first 50 years have been that for me - an incredible adventure. Notice there is nothing here about accomplishments or money. Because it doesn’t matter and it won’t matter. You will be dust in less than 100 years from now and the decision to be remembered won’t be yours so stop sweating it. It’s not in your control. So what is in your control? Be kind. Have fun. Work on something meaningful to you. Find your tribe. Try to find perspective. Find an incredible partner. Have a bunch of kids. Live an adventure. Forgive your parents - they were doing the best they could even if that wasn’t what you deserved. I will do what I can to make my next 50 years a wild ride. You should too. I love you and thank you. ❤️ 🙏🏽🙏🏽

The father of a girl who was disabled in an accident from a truck — driven by an undocumented immigrant — tells lawmakers: "I reject your guys' sympathy to be honest with you. There's no way you guys are sorry."

No, America was built by settlers who ruthlessly hacked civilization out of the frontier for the benefit of themselves and their descendants Jefferson warned against allowing immigration from lands so wholly foreign to America and her culture as France and Germany in his Notes on the State of Virginia because he recognized that the unique American spirit is what made America great and diluting it would make America less great To the extent that immigrant groups made America better, it was because they assimilated into American culture first, and became Americans When the first big wave of migrants that utterly refused to do so showed up from Central and Eastern Europe around the end of the Gilded Age, the chaos unleashed was so disastrous as to lead to the 1924 Immigration Act, which deported as many of them as possible while sharply limiting immigration moving forward Hart-Celler then undid that and flooded the country with even more foreign migrants once again, and things have been getting worse and worse as a result

Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos , I’m asking you to look at this once through the eyes of the people wearing the uniform since you own @washingtonpost. We volunteered and accepted the bargain. Missed birthdays, broken bodies, years away from our families, hostile fire, and the possibility that if we die, our families get roughly $500,000 in life insurance. In much of America today, that barely buys a house. We know our lot and we’re not complaining about it. But the job is hard enough without having to wonder whether an American newspaper is going to publish classified wartime command deliberations because its newsroom despises the administration and wants another cheap political scalp. Fight the President, the Secretary, the Pentagon. Whatever, that’s politics. But when the ammunition for that fight is information tied to ongoing operations and the private judgments of senior commanders, you’re spending our risk to buy your headline. That’s the part WE need you to understand. Murphy already gets a vote. So does the enemy. Exhaustion, bad intelligence, mechanical failure and plain rotten luck all get votes. We volunteered to face those things. We did NOT volunteer to become collateral damage in the Washington Post’s feud with an administration it hates. Your reporters will publish the piece, watch the engagement numbers, and go home. Some American kid will still be standing watch when they do. Jeff, give us a fucking chance. Come on man. You’ve got to clean house at that paper. The journalists are too blackpilled to be of any use anymore. In fact, they’re literally harming us. Our brothers and sisters are in a worse situation now due to this reporting. Don’t agree with the combat operations, fine. But come on. Leaking an SDOB? That’s objectively insane behavior. ***to my followers: share so we know he sees this.***

Poor people want no one to be rich. Rich people want everyone to be rich. One of these worldviews is superior.
