After Democrats dominated the midterms, Senator Ted Cruz claims on All-In (Polymarket partner) that they will go after President Donald Trump’s family…

Dianna Russini is the perfect example of pride... She has claimed to be a victim of misogyny, lied, & refused accountability since she was caught having an affair with Patriots HC Mike Vrabel. She just wants us all to move on & pretend nothing happened... A major lack of character & remorse.
Some things you don't realize how much you missed until you get them back. Football is one of those things for me. So grateful for this chance, for this show, and for all of you. Today at noon ET, we start again. bit.ly/DMRussiniReport

It's refreshing to hear a Browns quarterback compliment a defense & show respect to a team he's about to face.

Dianna Russini addressed her absence from covering the NFL by not apologizing & refusing to touch on credibility concerns. Instead, she treated it like a player coming off of IR after an injury, talking about how much she enjoyed the time off with her husband she cheated on… Anyone who supports this woman or her show should be ashamed.

Spare the rod, spoil the child. Gentle parenting isn’t the answer. Neither is abusive parenting. If you love your child, you will properly discipline them. “Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.” Proverbs 13:24 The pain of correcting bad behavior will be much less for the child now than for the adult he or she will later become. Children need to know that sin has consequences, but discipline (spanking) should never be done out of anger. Do you or did you spank your children?

This is just gaslighting… It’s not racist to say that casting Paapa Essiedu as a black Professor Snape in the new Harry Potter series is subversive & stupid. He also deserves backlash for taking on this role & somehow expecting the fans to largely be cool with it… I have no doubt he’s received some vile messages, but to act shocked that the world is not in favor of blackfacing an essential & prominent white character, is the Sam playbook as Rings of Power trying to claim backlash to black dwarves, elves, & other DEI-infused characters is somehow “rAcIsT” If they just kept Snape white, there’s would be no issue. They brought this on themselves.
HBO's #HarryPotter showrunner Francesca Gardiner says "it's appalling" that Paapa Essiedu is being "subjected" to racist "abuse" online after being cast as Snape. “He has handled it with incredible grace, and I have nothing but the greatest respect for him…. Paapa has absolutely nailed the role, and it is that performance that deserves our attention.” Essiedu says: “There’s some people who are just like, ‘I’ve done my research, and I know what kind of actor you are, and you suck.’ And they’re totally entitled to their opinion. But then there are the people who are like, ‘You are bad because you are Black’—which, to me, is racist.. Well, actually not ‘You’re bad because you are Black.’ But there is a racially driven animosity.” (via Vanity Fair) variety.com/2026/film/news/p…

And not only is Snape black, he’s going on a media blitz to condemn JK Rowling & anyone that affirms biological reality… This is wild forced error by HBO. The actor & an essential character have become a politically driven distraction.
"Harry Potter" actor Paapa Essiedu supports trans people and says "I don't want to talk about [J.K. Rowling] at all." "I believe, in my bones, that trans people, queer people, people of all creeds and color have got the right to be treated with respect and dignity and safety at all times— whether they’re in the workplace, whether they’re at home or in the street, whatever. That’s the creed by which I live." (via Vanity Fair) Before his casting, Essiedu signed an open letter condemning the U.K. Supreme Court for ruling that transgender men and women are not legally considered men and women. Rowling responded at the time by tweeting: “I don’t have the power to sack an actor from the series and I wouldn’t exercise it if I did. I don’t believe in taking away people’s jobs or livelihoods because they hold legally protected beliefs that differ from mine.” variety.com/2026/film/news/p…

My old shop, the Seattle Times, actually published a piece claiming there's "no serious scientific evidence" trans women are better athletes than biological women. It's another example of a paper that has abandoned journalistic integrity for activism. foxnews.com/outkick-sports/s…

"I've never seen an NBA team with its top three players being white deliver a championship. It's never happened, and I'm here to tell you: I don't think it's gonna happen this year." - ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith on Luka & the Lakers Is this racist? 🤔

The 24 team playoff is a slap in the face to college football fans. Instead of watching Conference Championship games (which were amazing), we have the privilege of watching a 16 seed play a 17 seed for the opportunity to be a 25 point underdog to the 1 seed. Pure greed

Democrats sweeping the senate & governorship in Texas. That was hands down the most shocking to me.
What election result from the 2026 Midterms surprised you the most?

Can i just say one thing about The United States of America real quick? (We’re on a flight home from two weeks in Asia and the Middle East). We were driving across the Sri Lankan country side and I saw a guy on a John Deere tractor. I looked it up. John Deere, Largest agricultural equipment manufacturer on Earth. Started in 1837 in Grand Detour, Illinois by a man named John Deere. I’ll keep going. If you get on an airplane anywhere on this planet, odds are it’s a Boeing. William Boeing, 1916, Seattle Washington. Go to any cafe on the globe and you can drink a Coca Cola. Created in Atlanta, Georgia by a man named John pemberton in 1886. Everyone communicates using Whatsapp. Founded in Mountain View, CA in 2009 by two buddies, Brian Acton and Jan Koum. Every vehicle is navigating the Globe using Google Maps. Google, started in the garage of Larry Page and Sergey Brin in Menlo Park California. 1996. Pfizer distributes medicine in every single country on Earth. Charles Pfizer in 1849, Brooklyn, New York. Amazon products are served in every single country on earth. Also started in his garage by a man name Jeff Bezos in Seattle Washington in 1994. Half of the world’s population communicates on Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg, Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2004. Our Qatar Airways flight attendant said she can’t wait to get to Dallas to go to Walmart to get vitamins for her family. Sam Walton, 1962, Rogers, Arkansas. This list could literally go on for days. That should fill every American with tremendous pride for this country, its founders, its people, its opportunities, and its contributions to the planet. Sure we have our flaws, but I can’t wait to get back to America and not drink sparkling water anymore (whoever invented that needs to be in prison), not have to use Kilometers or Celsius anymore, and sink my teeth into a Chick-fil-A sandwich (Truett Cathy, Hapeville, Georgia 1964) God Bless America.

The new President & CCO of DC Studios Jeremy Latcham made a name for himself while working for Marvel Studios by producing movies that were marked by redemptive, biblical values. "Even at Marvel, like if you read the History of Marvel book, there's like this bit about my grandparents in there because when we were making the first Marvel movies, Id always be like, 'I don't know if my grandma would like that, you know?' And that became like a guiding light of like as we were developing the movies, I just had this sense of, 'I don't know if my grandma would like that,' and that became the stand-in [to determine if a movie] is going to work for regular people that are outside of the bubble of Hollywood. What does this [movie say for a regular family?" 🎥: @BillyHallowell/CBN

I’ll never forget when Abdul El-Sayed said that girls will inevitably be subjected to penises online, so parents are idiots for trying to protect their daughters from being subjected to one in their locker rooms… Can’t believe Michigan elected this dude.
What moment from the 2026 Midterms will you never forget?

Governor @RonDeSantis & college football fans blasted the College Football Playoff (CFP) expanding to 24 teams. I agree with him. It's a "shirtsighted", greedy decision. It's not about the betterment of the sport. Read my latest for @Outkick: foxnews.com/outkick-sports/g…
