To those of you who follow the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) we find it necessary to comment. By now you all have heard of the number one draft pick, Caitlin Clark; she was chosen by the Indiana Fever. Fresh out of Iowa, where she set scoring records, her time in the WNBA has been fraught with many intentional fouls, some of them very aggressive.
Clark has maintained composure when subject to these flagrant fouls which have led to the opponent receiving a technical violation. What gets our GOAT is that a certain segment of those who play against her think that brutally bullying her on the court would result in her losing game. Of course that won’t happen, but what will happen is that those who bully will be suspended sooner than later.
Last night Clark, scorched the nets for 31 points. She was literally on Fire, as the Fever exploded in their torching the Chicago Sky. Indiana has been one of the hottest teams in the league since the Olympic break, improving to 5-1 in that span. By hitting the century mark on Friday — a season high in scoring — the Fever demonstrated once more how they’ve had the best offense in the league since mid-June and how they’ve become one of the WNBA’s most dangerous teams.
However, there is enmity by a certain population in the league. We don’t have to mention them in order to protect the guilty. Seems there is jealously here due to the fact of Clark’s national attention and her scoring a $28 large contract with Nike. Ms. Clark brings recognition to the league which is good for all concerned. This type of exposure will obviously lead to higher salaries. We mention that Clark is making only $76,000 per year. A small pittance in the scheme of things.
“I’ll be voting no,” Mr. Trump told Fox News, even as he said he disagreed with his home state’s current ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.
Passage of the ballot measure, called Amendment 4, would allow patients to seek an abortion up to about 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Mr. Trump has said he has “no regrets” about his role in the reversal of Roe, but he has also embarked upon an election-season effort to present himself as supportive of abortion protections and reproductive rights.
Last week, Mr. Trump claimed on social media that his administration would be “great” for women’s “reproductive rights.” And on Thursday, he said he would require insurance companies or the federal government to pay for all costs associated with in vitro fertilization treatments if he won in November.
Mr. Trump’s announcement regarding I.V.F. coverage contained few specifics about the proposal or how he might address its cost.

Tag teams may be made up of wrestlers who normally wrestle in singles competition, but more commonly are made of established teams who wrestle regularly as a unit.
So Harris, we know she has no cajones, brings her Tag Team partner to the debate. While being interviewed she continues to cast a look at the Lying Walz, as if to ask him what to say. Now, suddenly, she realizes that Pennsylvania is a must win for her to capture the White House. She then makes a U-turn saying her position has always been “in favor of fracking.”
Vice President Kamala Harris doubled down in her first interview since ascending to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket that she would not ban fracking if elected, claiming she made “clear” where she stood on fracking during the 2020 election.
“No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking,” Harris said.
Zuckerberg made the admission in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, more than a year after providing the committee with thousands of documents as part of its investigation into content moderation on online platforms.
Along with documents, the Meta CEO said, the company has provided a dozen employees to be available for transcribed interviews, stressing Meta’s cooperation with the investigation.
“There’s a lot of talk right now around how the U.S. government interacts with companies like Meta, and I want to be clear about our position,” Zuckerberg wrote. “Our platforms are for everyone – we’re about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way. As part of this, we regularly hear from governments around the world and others with various concerns around public discourse and public safety.”
TRUMP BLASTS META AND GOOGLE AFTER USERS CLAIM COMPANIES CENSORED ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SEARCHES

He told Jordan that in 2021, “senior officials” from the Biden administration and White House “repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire.”
When Facebook did not agree with the censorship, Zuckerberg said, the Biden administration expressed a lot of frustration.
“Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure,” Zuckerberg wrote. “I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.

“I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today,” he added. “Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards to pressure from any Administration in either direction – and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens.”
A White House spokesperson responded to Fox News, “When confronted with a deadly pandemic, this administration encouraged responsible actions to protect public health and safety. Our position has been clear and consistent: we believe tech companies and other private actors should take into account the effects their actions have on the American people, while making independent choices about the information they present.”
Facebook declined to comment beyond the text of the letter.
The committee first subpoenaed Meta for documents and information on Feb. 15, 2023, related to content moderation and Meta’s engagements with the executive branch to censor speech.
At the time, the committee was investigating whether, and to what extent, the executive branch pressured or worked with private companies to stifle or tamp down certain kinds of speech at the request of the government, which could potentially be a violation of the First Amendment.
GOP LAWMAKERS INVESTIGATING META’S NEW THREADS PLATFORM OVER POTENTIAL CENSORSHIP
Even before he was elected, the Deep State determined that Trump was an existential threat to their domain. The levers of government went into action. They impeached him twice, they pulled the Russian Card, they falsified documents that were presented to the court, they investigated him, they sued him and now they are charging him again for crimes while in office.
The Supreme Court has already ruled on this, but they wont’ give up. Special prosecutor Smith can’t take defeat, so what does he do, changes a few words and goes after President Trump once again. This is ELECTION INTERFERENCE IN SPADES. Smith, we have a message for you, on day one of President Trump’s second term, you will be Fired. You are in a position that is illegal under the Constitution. The Supreme Court will confirm this which was illegally rubber stamped by the Harris administration.

Denver’s decision to welcome migrants with open arms is bringing bloodshed to the suburbs next door. A notorious Venezuelan prison gang has set up shop in Aurora, Colorado — even though the town wanted no part of the influx of asylum seekers in the first place.
Aurora — a quiet bedroom community with a population of 390,000 directly east of the Mile-High City — has become a base of operations for the brutal Tren de Aragua gang, which has seized multiple apartment complexes and set off a wave of violent crime.
Denver leads the nation in new migrant arrivals per-capita, with more than 40,000 arriving from the southern border since December 2022.
The city has bent over backwards to provide aid, even slashing emergency services to help foot the cost – so far estimated at over $68 million and counting.
But Aurora has made it clear it doesn’t share Denver’s desire to be the country’s leading sanctuary city.
In February, Aurora City Council passed a resolution 7-3 emphatically stating that it will not provide resources and support to migrants or others brought into the community from neighboring cities.
“It’s been pretty tense here, we’re feeling it,” city council member Danielle Jurinsky, a sponsor of the resolution, told Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.”
“We will not be aiding into this migrant crisis.”
But Denver’s largesse has become Aurora’s problem anyway — forcing the community to grapple with increasing gang violence as Tren de Aragua has moved into town, taking whatever they can get their hands on, according to police, officials and law enforcement sources.
One local gang leader decided to set up shop in town, according to law enforcement sources. His name Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirino, and he goes by the name “Galleta” — Spanish for “Cookie.”
Within months of arriving in the US, cops say he and fellow gang members brutally beat a man at an Aurora apartment complex that the gang took over and occupied. In July, cops arrested him again — this time for shooting at the same complex that left two men wounded.
Members of Tren de Aragua are accused of a slew of violent crimes across the US — including murdering Georgia nursing student Laken Riley earlier this year, and shooting of two NYPD cops during an arrest in June. Leaders of the gang recently gave the “green light” for members to shoot American cops who try to interfere with their criminal activity.
One local investor in a company that owns multiple apartment complexes in Aurora said there was a “massive shootout” at one of the properties taken over by the gang.
“I’m scared that this could happen in America,” the source said.
Earlier this month, Aurora’s Police Department announced it formed a task force with the Colorado State Patrol and the Colorado Bureau of Investigations to counter the gang’s growing threat.
Aurora police declined to provide additional details about the task force, but said in a statement it that “APD will not tolerate violent crime in our communities.”
John Fabbricatore, who was previously the head of ICE’s office in the Denver region and is now running for congress, said the gang has been running amok in the area — and officials have been slow to react.
“It’s become increasingly clear that certain city officials, including the Aurora Police Department, have downplayed or ignored the criminal activities affecting many neighborhoods in North Aurora,” said Fabbricatore.
“Notably, illegal immigrant gang activities have been present in specific apartment complexes throughout Aurora, yet these issues have been understated for what appear to be ideological reasons.”
Despite the slew of Tren de Aragua crimes in Denver, Marc Sears, president of Aurora’s police union, said that it’s “absolutely inaccurate” to say the gang is taking over the city.
“They’re not any different than any other documented gang that we have. I can tell you that the officers, is there a concern about this quote, unquote, ‘green light’ that they have on officers. Sure, there’s a concern about it, but in my opinion, as the union president, I feel that we have been green-lighted since 2020.”
When Pacheco-Chirino — an alleged “shot-caller” in the gang — crossed the southern border in 2022 into Texas, he was vetted by federal border authorities who didn’t see anything concerning about his past — and then released, Homeland Security sources said.
He told Border Patrol agents he was going to New York, but ended up at an ICE office in Colorado in June 2023, when he was given a court date and again was cut loose.
Soon after, he started unleashing havoc on the community.
In November 2023, Pacheco-Chirino allegedly took part in a brutal assault that almost turned deadly at the Fitzsimons Place apartment complex in Aurora, which was recently shut down over code violations, which the owners argued they couldn’t fix due to a takeover of the building by the gang, according to court documents obtained by The Post.
During the assault, Pacheco, along with several other drunk men identified who were said to be “part of a gang that steals from Walmart” and claiming “they run” the apartment, allegedly hit the victim in the head with a bottle of Corona and then began to beat him up after he fell to the ground, the documents alleged.
The apartment investor told The Post that they’ve “lost control” of several properties because the gang has taken over units.
“They were first hanging out around the property and creating a bad element that’s constantly there. And then they started taking over, quite a few months ago, they started taking over vacant units”
Soon, the alleged gang members began renting out the units to other migrants whom they also “threatened.” Then, they began terrorizing the apartment staff, who were forced to flee the properties, leaving them to the gangs.
The bloodied victim of Pacheco-Chirino’s alleged assault suffered a traumatic brain injury, a broken nose and broken upper jaw, according to the documents.
