American sportswriters hate both America & sports.
To quote the US Olympic men's hockey gold medalists: two for two!

Six years ago next week we celebrate the anniversary of one of the dumbest and most destructive posts of all time. Liz helped create the panic that resulted in the biggest peacetime blunder of all time.
Hospitals saw HISTORIC LOW VOLUMES.
these misery-advertising crash outs are wild
"These people are now deeply concerned that Jay Bhattacharya — the Stanford professor who dared to question all of it — has too much power."

Just finished shoveling 18+ inches of snow, bringing the total so far for this winter to 36+ inches.
One cannot detest the NYT enough.
I was going to write something on everything the Alysa Liu case reveals about leftists but there is no need because this is perfect.

I honestly think Iran would be a top five travel destination if it weren’t for the regime

Speaking of tariffs, this is very good news, isn't it? From Politico: "President Trump's tariffs...remade trade in 2025, and no country experienced as big a shift as China. Thanks in large part to US tariffs...[China's] share of the overall US import market fell to 9% in 2025, compared to 13.4 % in 2024...That is China's lowest market share since the early 2000s. Less than a decade ago, China accounted for one-fifth of annual US imports." https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/21/electronics-imports-plunged-trump-china-tariffs-00790374
While hiking in South Texas, I discovered what I believe to be a Darl type projectile point with a vibrant pink tip that almost looks like dried blood, though it’s actually just the chert material it was made from, originating in the Uvalde Gravels deposit. This point dates to the Transitional Archaic.
The narrow, medium-sized triangular point has a long, slender blade that gently curves before straightening toward the tip. The shoulders are subtly pronounced, angled slightly upward, giving it a delicate yet purposeful profile. The stem expands just enough for secure hafting and both faces display a finely serrated edge along with a steep right-hand bevel. The random flaking pattern across the blade gives it a distinctive, handcrafted character that highlights the skill involved in its creation.
Six gold medals. Six races. Six victories.
The Norse sagas spoke of úlfheðnar - wolf-warriors who fought with a fury no man could match.
Johannes Høsflot Klæbo just won every single cross-country event at the Olympics. No athlete in Winter Olympic history has ever done this.
Norwegians have been dominating on skis for over 4,000 years. Some things never change🇳🇴
The right isn’t making fun of the snow shoveling effort. They are making fun of the same people proclaiming ID to vote is Jim Crow 2.0 requiring two forms of ID to shovel snow.
"It was wrong that Joe Biden let 20 million people across the border but now we have to abolish border enforcement and give them a pathway to citizenship and voting"
🚨🧵CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT PAYING PROTESTORS OVER $100M
I have discovered that the state of California is using taxpayer funds to subsidize non-profit organizations whose core function is to organize protests.
CHIRLA (@CHIRLA) has taken over $100M alone in tax-payer funds according to the state expenditure website.
Based on their website, CHIRLA's primary function is protest-related activities and left-wing advocacy. They have been protesting and advocating since 1986 and take credit for some Newsom policies.

PEN Succumbs to the Anti-Free Speech Mob by @jkirchick https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/opinion/pen-free-expression-writers.html
"Who are the leading advocates of birthright citizenship in the US?" you ask. Democrats and the Chinese Communist Party.
For 5 years we were told America was “millions of homes short.”
Here were the estimates:
• NAR: 5.5M (as high as 6.8M)
• Freddie Mac: 3.8M
• Zillow: 4.5M
• NLHC (rentals): 7.1M
Consensus? 5–7 million homes short.
Now JP Morgan: ~1.2M
That’s nearly an 80% revision.
Was it a housing shortage…
Or a 3% rate + stimulus + migration demand shock?
Narratives move markets.
Math corrects them.
GDP growth came in at just 1.4% but here's why: gov't purchases tanked almost 5.1%, pulling the headline number down almost a full percentage point; this is GOOD news and another sign the economy is being "reprivatized" - gov't shutdown also probably had some effect:
From exile to excellence.
Alysa Liu just won the gold medal for Team USA.🥇🇺🇸
Her father was targeted by the CCP for supporting the Tiananmen Square protesters and had to flee to the United States.
Years later, the same brutal regime tried to recruit his daughter, a rising figure skating star.
Alysa Liu said, NO!!!
She chose the nation that protected her family instead of the one that persecuted it.
She chose liberty over authoritarianism.
I’m proud of her and grateful she wears the red, white, and blue. 🇺🇸
The First Medal of Honor Ever Captured on Film
In the scheme of things, not that many banks get robbed. It's a minuscule number, really. So, we don't actually need all this security.
Professors of humanities, who should be custodians of Western Civilization, of Homer and Shakespeare and Dickens, long ago turned on it. They elevated race over genius, sex over artistic merit, identity over everything.
NYC Dept of Education serves a public school population of ~1 million students. Mayor Mamdani has proposed a fiscal year 2027 DOE budget of $50.8 billion, or about $50,000 per student.
Seems pricey. No?
15 years ago today was my first day in combat. It also marks the sacrifice of Lance Cpl. Charles Seth Sharp, who was a member of my infantry unit (Echo Company 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines) during Op. Khanjar - @MartinSmithDocs of @frontlinepbs was embedded with us. Miss you, Seth
