Publicly, Caitlin Clark has said all the right things since getting left off the roster for Team USA women’s Olympic basketball. She’s said she’s happy for those on the team and will root for them. Her comments in private, however, tell a different story. Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Indiana Fever head coach Christie Sides revealed what Clark told her after finding out about failing to make the roster. “Hey coach, they woke a monster,” Clark reported said. Clark’s play on the court since the Olympic announcement suggests she indeed has decided to release the “monster.”

I know zero about basketball but if someone scores better than anyone else, and it seems this girl does, then yeah it should be about her. Why was she not part of the group chosen? I'd be upset too.

The five black women who made the decision to keep her from the Olympic team are afraid if she was on the team, that if/when they win a medal, she won't give the black power fist salute. Right?

Caitlin Clark just needs to do what she is doing. Play to the best of her ability, make no excuses and push forward. Clark's character speaks lounder than any "olympic selection committee". To put Britney Griner on the team over Clark is a joke and bad decision. I'm certain that Griner being on the team is a Biden want so he can say "See, I exchanged prisoners for her in Russia and now she won an olympic medal".

I have not watched any NBA games since Koby and Shaq for the Lakers. I have no interest in dunkball now. Not even at a restaurant where a game is on screen. Maybe college ball, but I don’t miss it if I missed any. Given that, WNBA games are as compelling as the outdated issues of Cosmopolitan in my doctor’s waiting room. When I read about Caitlin Clark, I checked her out on YouTube. Yes, she’s really good and fun to watch. Unfortunately, she, by herself, cannot change the Brittney Griner culture dominating the WNBA. For that reason, I will continue to ignore women’s basketball.

I'm old school in that "Professional" Players should not be in the Olympics at all...as a nation we should send either an all-star college squad, or just send the team that won the championship the prior season. An exception perhaps being made for players that were selected for that years Olympic team before they signed a pro-contract, or before they appeared in a Pro game.

I don't think Caitlin would even entertain playing for another team. But, I sure would like to see another one make her an offer and then see her chew up the USA team. How great would that be? Unleash that monster, Caitlin. You go girl!

Remember back in 2007 when Don Imus got fired for his rapier-sharp, spot-on remark about the Rutgers women's basketball team. That incident provides some context and perspective. That's the trouble these days, people don't remember their history.

Here is another way to tell that Democrats are panicking: They feel obliged to deal, somehow, with the fact that Joe Biden is senile. The Washington Post headlines: “How Republicans used misleading videos to attack Biden in a 24-hour period.” President Biden, who at 81 is a couple of decades younger than many of the veterans he honored during Thursday’s D-Day commemoration in Normandy… Well then, he is practically youthful! Of course, the centenarians are not running for president. …nonetheless found his age and fitness in the spotlight as selectively edited clips of him circulated online to paint the picture of a physically and mentally challenged commander in chief. *** In edited videos…

A federal judge on Tuesday overturned parts of Florida’s law restricting the use of “gender-affirming care” on children. The judge declared multiple statutes related to puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and surgeries to be unconstitutional. The law was aimed at preventing medical facilities from prescribing irreversible “gender-affirming” treatments to young children. Several studies have shown these treatments to be not only ineffective but harmful to minors suffering from gender dysphoria. Nevertheless, the judge struck down the measure.

It turns out the Biden administration has released potential terrorists with explosive aspirations into America’s interior. Are we surprised? No. Worried? Heck, yes. On June 11, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin tweeted that a “federal source” confirmed ICE, working with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, recently arrested eight Tajikistan nationals who entered America illegally and had suspected ISIS ties. The Tajikistanis were spread across the country, in New York City, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. The best — or worst — part? They were previously “vetted” by the Biden administration’s border security and released into our country.

Polling website FiveThirtyEight (538) gave President Biden a narrow edge over former President Trump Tuesday as it launched its model for predicting the 2024 race for the White House. Biden wins about 53% of the time in the site’s computer generated analyses compared to 47% for Trump. “Trump has a lead in most key swing states (but) they are close enough that a small amount of movement — or the polls being a little too favorable to Republicans — could result in President Joe Biden’s reelection,” the site said in explaining the model. The model says the most likely electoral college result is 276 for Biden and 262 for Trump. In 0.3%

As we reported, Hunter Biden was convicted on three gun charges on Tuesday. Joe Biden issued a statement saying that he would accept the outcome, although he said Hunter would be considering an appeal. He had previously said he would not pardon Hunter. The liberal media immediately went into overdrive, declaring "fairness" to have been established, as though that made all the issues in the trial against former President Donald Trump cool. Meanwhile, ironically, Biden was scheduled to speak at the Everytown "Gun Sense" event in Washington, D.C. He ended up not addressing the conviction, but he exhibited some of the worst incoherence that I have ever seen from him.

Politico reported a host Wall Street executives, many whom have previously sworn off Trump, have started to embrace the former president’s reelection campaign.

Domestic support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on the rise as the Jewish State’s war against the Iran-backed Islamic terror group Hamas advances, according to poll numbers showing the right-wing bloc in Israel nearing 60 seats. Israel’s Channel 14 published the results of a survey conducted by Direct Polls on Monday, showing that if elections were held now, Netanyahu’s Likud Party would receive 26 mandates, one of its best numbers since the October 7 massacre — the most brutal attack on Jews since the Nazi Holocaust. In a matchup for prime minister between Netanyahu and his longtime rival, centrist Benny Gantz, Netanyahu is the preferred candidate, securing 47 percent

In September 2020, the Omidyar Network, the activism vehicle of former eBay chief Pierre Omidyar, issued a “Call to Reimagine Capitalism in America,” bemoaning “structural racism, colonialism, paternalism,” and proposing to build “an explicitly anti-racist and inclusive economy.” Omidyar was spending millions of dollars, largely funneled through dark money groups, to put Joe Biden in the White House. After his election victory, one of Omidyar’s groups, called Reset, explained how it would use the Biden presidency to implant its people to pursue its goals, specifically targeting agencies it believed had sway. “Most promisingly, the Biden administration may open the door for specific actions on antitrust

It's no secret that Americans are angry about the situation at the border, and that Democrats have finally woken up to that fact. There are signs of panic everywhere, but the exclamation point was Biden's (weak, almost fake) Executive Action taken to restrict entrants at the border. It was more for show than to relieve the stress at the border or in the cities across America that have been flooded with unwelcome illegal migrants, but at least it was a rhetorical acknowledgment that the border crisis is a political problem for Dems.

The earliest known copy of an incredible story about Jesus performing a miracle as a child has been discovered scrawled on an ancient Egyptian manuscript. The 2,000-year-old papyrus - a material that predates paper - tells the lesser-known story of the 'vivification of the sparrows,' when the five-year-old Messiah is said to have turned clay pigeons into live birds, a tale also referred to as the 'second miracle'. The clumsiness of the handwriting led the researchers to believe it was likely written as part of a class exercise in a school or religious community in 4th or 5th Century Egypt, which was a Christian society in those times.

Lime, a popular electric scooter and bike rental service, implemented a “no-go zone” around a pride-themed crosswalk in Washington after police arrested numerous teens for allegedly driving over it, the company told The National Desk. Cops arrested three teens June 5 on first-degree malicious mischief charges related to alleged vandalism of a crosswalk with a pride flag painted across it in Spokane, Washington, according to the Spokane Police Department. Officers noticed “widespread damage as black scuff marks consistent with scooter wheels were observed across the entirety of the mural,” the press release states.

CBS News’ Lesley Stahl owes Donald Trump an apology. When the Hunter Biden laptop, which detailed the sordid affairs of Joe Biden’s son, was brought up during Trump’s interview on 60 Minutes, Stahl claimed the device couldn’t be verified. She wasn’t the only one. If the press didn’t utter the ‘unverified’ talking point, it was the Russian disinformation lie that the intelligence community manufactured to tilt the election. We knew the truth. It took the liberal media months to catch up, finally agreeing with The New York Post, which initially reported on the laptop’s contents. Emma-Jo Morris verified its contents.
