I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Column: The traditional idea of the USA being a "melting pot" where anyone can become American is being challenged by leaders like Vice President J.D. Vance as the country turns 250. What they miss in revisiting what it means to be American is our living communities. tucson.com/news/local/c...

Today's SCOTUS decision means that the Trump administration may prematurely terminate TPS for Haiti, Syria, and any other country it wishes, without bothering to offer any legitimate justification or following the procedures required by Congress, because courts cannot review the decision.

Dark thought, but thinking we have to take into account that the Silicon Valley tech crowd regularly refers to people as NPCs when considering Elon’s response to being confronted with numbers about USAID cut deaths.

Something that's undersold in the Lalas being terrible discourse is that this is his SIXTH World Cup as an analyst. We've been suffering through his shit for 20 YEARS. And if you're a regular USMNT fan, it isn't just every 4 years, it's every single time they play.

First the liberals took away your suburbs. Now they’re coming after your alleys!

Ex-Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino is fully public with his white supremacist ideology these days. His latest? He described a woman as a "HERO" after she was caught on video harassing two Muslim American women in a Texas grocery store and said they "aren't welcome in this state or this country."

Why do I keep hearing people say this is Messi's last World Cup? Seems like he might have another in him.

Meanwhile in San Francisco, white men are still pondering the merits of dictatorship. Debating Curtis Yarvin on the topic has become a status symbol for Temu intellectuals around the globe. Step right up! See Thiel’s weeping Palooka get pounded again! 560 expected to attend…

“Did Lalas enjoy an elite playing career? No. But does he do the background reading that could compensate for his relative lack of standing in a conversation with titans like Henry and Zlatan? Also no. But is he charming or funny or charismatic or otherwise magnetic on screen? Eh, no.”

Spain vs Cape Verde take: it warms my heart that both long-lost Luso-Creole cousins, Curaçao and Cape Verde, are in the World Cup this year. Fun fact: Papiamentu (spoken in Curaçao) and Cape Verdean Creole are both Upper Guinea Portuguese Creoles and share a common linguistic ancestry.

Column: People have been pretty down on Tucson lately. What I find lacking in much of the criticism is knowledge of which way trends are going, what local officials are doing and whether it's working. Here, I try to evaluate that with respect to four key factors. tucson.com/news/local/s...

An Iranian woman is among around two dozen migrants who arrived Friday in the Central African Republic on a deportation flight from the United States, lawyers said.

They force-feminized all the World Cup players and now it’s called the Girled Cup. They did this due to woke and gender. The sport is called footovary now too sorry. Girled Cup

I have so much trepidation about this World Cup. One would have thought after Russia and Qatar, the U.S./Canada/Mexico hosting would be a welcome relief from tensions, controcersy and crap. Nope.
