Happy 60th birthday to Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing! Here's a picture of the two of us when we were a bit younger: Georgetown graduation, 1982. Patrick had just finished his freshman year. I was 8. Happy birthday, Patrick! I've been cheering for you for 40 years. Go Hoyas!

I don’t think the Trump administration will attack Denmark either. But I don’t for a minute blame Denmark for taking the threats seriously. More importantly, this “oh he’s just threatening to attack a NATO ally in service to his own narcissistic craving for legacy acquisitions,
I can't believe this needs to be explained but: 1. The US is not going to attack Denmark. 2. The bluster from Trump is to give encouragement to Greenlanders for a vote of independence, and a warning to Denmark not to ignore the results of such a vote. 3. Once the vote for

I wouldn’t say that was the absolute worst Hoyas game I’ve ever seen. I was there in 2019 when Max Strus went off and DePaul pummeled them 101-69. But this was up there for sure. 1-23 in the second half is hard to believe unless you see it with your own eyes.

Melania not knowing that FDR was paralyzed from the waist down is both ridiculous and yet all too predictable.

Nope. The countries Trump has "put on notice" are Colombia--governed by a democratically elected president whose party may lose this year's election, Mexico--a democracy and trading partner, and Denmark--a NATO ally. And Venezuela remains governed by...narcoterrorist dictators.
One by one, President @realDonaldTrump is showing the world what real leadership looks like. Narcoterrorist dictators are on notice, and America is safer because of it.

In Washington and Caracas, the vision for administering Venezuela in the weeks and months ahead appears uncertain and stubbornly complex.

Americans no longer trust legacy media in part because an avalanche of grifters have told them exactly what they want to hear on algorithmic social media sites designed to funnel highly curated outrage, and it's all undermined real journalism in the process.

Absolutely! You wouldn't want "academics and elites" who have actually studied a subject to outweigh the off-the-cuff opinions of village idiots. This is how we're seeing the resurgence of measles, and the widespread belief in almost non-existent vote fraud, among many other
"On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you." That changes now. The new CBS Evening News

Happy New Year everybody! Let's start this year off right with a beautiful photo of Jalen Brunson and Walt Frazier from the great @natlyphoto. This is after Brunson hit the series-clinching shot against Detroit in the playoffs last year.
