Also, I got to give a few other happy birthdays. Charlie Zimmer, Dennis Wybin, Nick Letty, Dick Paul, Justin Fox, Trevor Zegers, and more props. Mario Liviu on this day in 1993. Mario scored four goals for the second game in a row and a 9-3 win over Philly. Four goals, two in a row. He owned Philly. It's a good year. I don't know if he owned them like Crosby has, but it's four goals, two games in a row. It'd be a good thing to see who has more points versus Philly because Sid is owned. I think Sid's all-time leader. Yeah, I think he is. I think it's two points a game on average. I think he's all-time leader against the Islanders, too. Hey, speaking of Philly, did you see Meechkov running away from that fight? From the other Russian? If the Philadelphia Flyers back him on this, their fans have really changed because that's not... Oh, yeah. No, all the ones …”

On his 21st birthday in 1969, Bobby Orr scored his 21st goal of the season, setting a record for defensemen that stood for decades. This remarkable feat surpassed the previous record held by Flash Holland and showcased Orr's legendary status in NHL history. Despite being surpassed later by Paul Coffey, Orr remains a pivotal figure, ranking high on the all-time goals list for defensemen.
“… streets of D.C. to talk about how grateful they are that he's made it safe. But this is after all that. And this is when it came time for Stephen Miller and Kash Patel to weigh in on how good Donald Trump is. So let's let's take a look at what President Trump has done on border security and public safety is a national miracle that will be studied not only for generations, but for centuries to come. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you, Steve. So, Kash, see if you can top that. I don't know. That's a tough one, Cash. That is tough. You know, Mr. President, as I look around this venue, I see, …”
“… just dwell on a couple of these moments from yesterday. This is after Donald Trump got done sort of slurring his way through his Borscht Belt shtick about how Chuck Schumer is a Palestinian now and how beautiful young women keep coming up to him in the streets of D.C. to talk about how grateful they are that he's made it safe. But this is after all that. And this is when it came time for Stephen Miller and Kash Patel to weigh in on how good Donald Trump is. So let's let's take a look at what President Trump has done on border security and public safety is a national miracle that will be studied not only for generations, but for centuries to come. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you, Steve. So, Kash, see if you can top that. I don't know. That's a tough one, Cash. That is tough. You know, Mr. President, as I look around this venue, I see, and I'm reminded again, why we have the greatest warriors on God's green earth, the men and women serving in uniform, the men and women serving and wearing the badge, and law enforcement, our police, our sheriffs around the state of Tennessee. I'm reminded that Americans exist to protect this country day in and day out, and they've done it like we've …”

Trump's public image is dangerously inflated by sycophants who drown out reality, as seen in a recent event where aides praised his border security efforts as miraculous. This dynamic creates a feedback loop, isolating him from genuine feedback and fostering a king-like mentality that undermines democratic values. It's a troubling glimpse into how power can distort perception and accountability.
“This is a tweet from Shane Goldmark, a New Times reporter, says Jan Schakowsky, who is a retiring member of Congress, pulls Donna Miller endorsement in second congressional district over APAC support. This is back in February. And APAC then, you know, quote tweets last night. And then what happened? And what's notable about this is that APAC hit its involvement in its support for Donna Miller. They created this, you know, Lex Chicago Women Super PAC because they know that using their name, APAC or United Democracy Project, which is their branded super PAC, is super damaging to …”

And then when shows like this or at Dropside, we do the reporting that says, oh, actually, we've pieced it together. This is APAC money that is being funneled into the campaign. APAC responds that that's anti-Semitic conspiracy theorizing that you're doing. How dare you suggest that? And then after their candidate wins, …”

AIPAC's strategy to distance itself from controversial endorsements backfired when they publicly supported a candidate after denying their involvement. This tactic reveals the organization's awareness of the negative perception surrounding its influence in elections. As political dynamics shift, AIPAC's methods are increasingly scrutinized, raising the question of accountability in campaign financing.
“… the league by that point. I know they started engaging with Sacramento on a deal, and that was around the time that Sacramento was about to trade Dennis Schroeder and who was the other kid? Why am I drawing a blank? Keon Ellis. Keon Ellis to Cleveland, but they were so far down the road that there was no point in really engaging, so Detroit wound up turning to Chicago. I've asked the question, why not a Kobe White why not a Ayo DeSumo you know those guys being those guys being moved like those were a better players but it's clear that the value of what Jay Nivey was around the league wasn't as …”
“three as opposed to a career best year from three, let you know what Ivy's value was around the league by that point. I know they started engaging with Sacramento on a deal, and that was around the time that Sacramento was about to trade Dennis Schroeder and who was the other kid? Why am I drawing a blank? Keon Ellis. Keon Ellis to Cleveland, but they were so far down the road that there was no point in really engaging, so Detroit wound up turning to Chicago. I've asked the question, why not a Kobe White why not a Ayo DeSumo you know those guys being those guys being moved like those were a better players but it's clear that the value of what Jay Nivey was around the league wasn't as high and I don't know if he was going to turn things around here this season that's why Jay Nivey should sue Cole Anthony for lost wages pain and suffering well i'll just say that he if he's back by the playoffs and he's okay by the playoffs then this will just be a forgotten thing other than that area on his back because i'm sure it is sore as …”
