Thing about 352 is, you dont need every CB to be the highest rated, just had 3 OK guys at the back but a beast at the GK

Then, didnt really wanna go all out on the mid but I was lucky to get 3 masters

Figo and Breitner were astounding to keep the width Image
Had a peak Barclays strike partnership with Milla the small #9 pressing and the opposite big man Batistuta terrorising defenders in behind

As great a team this was, the world cup is always tricky, drew the 1st game because the lads werent locked in

Then demolished the other 2
Knockouts were as hard as it gets, faced off against 2014 argentina and scraped a gutsy penalty win on sudden death after fumbling couple penalties

Surprisingly, lads won against 2022 France 2-1 after going down at the 2nd minute to the speedy Coman

Finally, the toughest...

โ—† ๐—”๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ต๐—ฎ.. Loose karma. Can be changed by action.
โ—† ๐——๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ต๐—ฎ.. Semi-fixed. Can be reduced, not erased.

๐ŸงตThings I now believe to be true.

Scotland has not just watched a party finance scandal. It has watched the state, the party machine and the prosecution system close ranks in real time.

The public were expected to notice nothing.

Unfortunately for them, we did.Image
2/
I now believe Peter Murrell was allowed to become the useful container for a much bigger scandal.

One man. One plea. One neat little box.

How convenient.

The trouble is that the stench does not fit inside the box.
3/
I now believe the plea deal was designed to prevent sunlight.

A full trial would have asked the questions the SNP, the Crown Office and half of Edinburghโ€™s political class plainly do not want asked.

Who knew? Who benefited? Who covered? Who lied?

Imagine a foreign government doesn't like what your country is doing, and decides to change it. Without asking you.

That's what Putin is doing in the Baltic states. He just got his first big win in Latvia. ๐Ÿงต [1/13]
On May 7, Ukrainian drones, pushed off course by Russian electronic warfare, entered Latvia from Russia. One exploded at an oil depot in Rฤ“zekne: four empty fuel tanks were destroyed โ€” luckily, no one was hurt.

[2/13]
You'd think that should have been the end of it โ€” instead, three days later, Latvia's defense minister resigned. Four days after that, the government collapsed altogether.

Essentially, a NATO country's cabinet was removed from power by a hybrid operation conducted by the Kremlin.

Day 4 report: Karmelo Anthony Trial - June 4th, 2026 - Part 2. My reporting from the courtroom - A ๐Ÿงต

The state called Tiffany Whitaker, an athletic trainer at Memorial High School. She said that her job was to prevent athletic injury. She stated that she was at every event. She has received extensive medical training, and is CPR certified. She said that she knew both boys.

She stated that there was a rule about the tent. It is like a locker room. Itโ€™s a Team safe space.

She stated that the weather was cloudy and windy. She stated that around 10 AM. She was set up with medical equipment at the Andrews building. She stated that she saw Austin around 930 AM and he gave her a hug.

She said that she saw a commotion and heard screaming. She ran onto the track to see what was going on.

She said that a student she knew said โ€œHim! He stabbed him and threw the knife!โ€ The student then pointed at Karmelo.

She said that she then stopped right in front of Karmelo and put her arms out to stop him. She then got Coach Hooperโ€™s attention with Heritage High School.

She said Hooper then turned towards Karmelo and said โ€œyou stabbed someone son?โ€

She then moved on to find the person who was stabbed. She did not know who it was yet.

She arrived to the tent and saw multiple people were already helping Austin. She grabbed his wrist to check for a pulse. She gave rescue breaths while the coach with liberty high school was giving compressions.

Read on ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Track head coach Vincent Hooper was the next witness with Heritage high school.

He was asked about tents. He said you want your kids to stay in their camp. He said he had left the tent to go get batons from the car and then made his way back.

As he was walking back, he said everyone was running and panicking. He then saw Coach Tiffany who said โ€œhey this kid stabbed someone donโ€™t let him leave!โ€

He stated that he put his hands around Karmelo. karmelo said โ€œhe put his hands on me.โ€

The coach told Karmelo โ€œyou know if he dies, you just changed your whole life aroundโ€.

Karmelo responded and said โ€œheโ€™s not going to dieโ€

He then passed Karmelo over to a Centennial coach. He said an African-American kid was chasing Karmelo and the kid said โ€œhe stabbed my brother. Iโ€™m going to get him!โ€ But he was able to grab him and hold him back.

This particular individual is likely a witness and I do not know if it is a minor so I will not be identifying this person.

The coach then said he walked up to Austin โ€ฆ he said Austin was pale white and in a puddle of blood.

๐Ÿšจ read on ๐Ÿ‘‡ next witness is very hard to listen to
The next witness was Joshua Redman, a coach with liberty high school.

Joshua Redman is an army veteran. He was deployed three times, blown up three times. He said that he has led men and lost men. He is 6 foot four and 240 pounds.

On April 2, he was the throwing coach. He said that liberty high school had two tents. One for the boys and one for the girls. He said the weather was only a light drizzle of rain. It was not raining heavy.

He stated that he was close to Memorial high school tent. He did not hear anything until there was a burst of energy. He said kids were running and people were screaming. He heard them running on the aluminum bleachers.

He stated that he then saw Austin at the bottom of the bleachers with his back up against the fence. He said Austin then fell to the ground. Hunter ran to him and held him and was screaming that he had been stabbed.

He stated that he then took off his coat and put pressure on the wound. He had to shove Hunter to the side because Hunter was trying to hold Austin tightly. Hunter was hysterical. He stated that based on the location of the wound and the amount of blood pouring into Austinโ€˜s abdomen, he could tell that it was not good.

He then stated that he recognized agonal breathing which he knew meant that Austin was already passing. He stated that before EMS arrived he knew that Austin was already gone. But he did not state this because he wanted all life-saving measures to be taken regardless.

After EMS arrived, he then went to the lockers to wash the blood off of his hands. He left the jacket on the ground.

Then they played the 911 tape

This tape was absolutely devastating for everyone in the room

You could hear everyone screaming in the background. You could hear the army veteran working on Austin. You can hear the coach screaming โ€œstay with me, Austin! Stay with me!โ€

The individual who called 911 said that Austin was breathing, but it was just the agonal breathing as recognized by the coach. Which meant that Austin was already gone.

In the background of the 911 call, you can hear Hunter crying and screaming. You could hear him saying โ€œPLEASE GOD! Please!! Please GOD!โ€

The called then gave 911 the description of Karmelo. And stated that he was just some kid from another school.

Photos were then shown to the jury of Austin. This photo was not placed on the screen out of respect for the Metcalf family.

A picture was then shown of the jacket that was used to attempt to stop the bleeding. The inside of it was covered in blood.

The coach was cross-examined. It was reiterated that he did not hear any yelling before the incident.

This concludes the end of day four.

Day five (today) coming soon.

THREAD

So Trump spoke at a farmer roundtable in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin today. I watched so you wouldn't have to. You're welcome.
It's kind of remarkable that any farmers are here at this event considering how he's screwed them over. It's a very small crowd though.
BTW, he was seated for the entire speech and roundtable. He looked very weak today.
Trump started out explaining how he spells Dumocrat and how people don't know there's a B at the end of dumb. (He just can't let that one go.)
"Your fertilizer is way down. Your energy prices are way down. Your oil is way down. Your gas is way down. It's all coming way down."
(Amazingly, the small crowd cheered this nonsense. They know none of that is true, yet they cheer for him.)

DAY 4 REPORT: Karmelo Anthony Trial - June 4th, 2026 ๐Ÿšจ

Day four of testimony focused heavily on witnesses who were present at the track meet, coaches who knew Austin Metcalf personally, emergency response efforts immediately after the stabbing, and additional evidence presented by the prosecution.

The day included emotional testimony from Austinโ€™s coaches, eyewitness testimony regarding the moments before and after the stabbing, photographs, physical evidence, and the playing of one of the 911 calls.

๐ŸงตImage
The first witness was a video expert. The Frisco ISD footage was clarified, and zoomed in.

You can see a tent on the upper right hand side of the screen. You can see a few figures under the tent. Itโ€™s dark so itโ€™s still hard to see. You see one Individual pushed back (not far) and bounce back quickly. A couple seconds later, that same individual can then be seen with that the video expert called a โ€œspotlightโ€. The Spotlight was over Karmelo. You can see Karmelo run up above the tent, then over to the side. He slows down to a walk. And begins walking through the people towards the entrance. He then begins to run again. Multiple individuals run after him and point at him. Karmelo then turns around and walks back towards the track. You see an individual walk up to him and put his arms around him. Seemingly to keep him still. Then an officer arrives and detained him.

A video was also shown of Austin entering the stadium and Karmelo being let out by police 15 minutes later. This is how quickly this happened.

It was also made clear by the video expert that there is no drawback by Austin under the tent when the incident occurred. Meaning it does not look like he drew back to punch him or attack him. It was a simple push forward.
Next witness was was Robert Starr. Head track coach for Memorial high school. Also in charge of strength and conditioning for the football team and assistant coach.

He was the position coach for Austin and Hunter he said that he knew Austin for a year. And has now known Hunter for two years.

Starr made it clear that track meet policy is โ€œthe Tent marks your spotโ€. There are only about four coaches per 40 kids. Spots are designated by tent because coaches canโ€™t keep track of everyone. So the tent is very much like โ€œyour bench.โ€

He mentioned proximity control multiple times. Which meant keeping a coach per tent at all times. Tents have snacks, backpacks, and it is standard practice to make sure they stay protected.

He stated that specifically for Frisco ISD, tents are meant for one team and one team only. Because of the valuables kept under the tent, it is a big deal to keep everyone away from your tent.

He stated that you also do not go to someone elseโ€™s tent uninvited

He also stated that policy is โ€œweapons are not allowed of any shape or sizeโ€. Most people would never assume that anyone would bring a weapon to track meet.

He also stated that students have to sign a code of conduct that agrees to this policy.

He stated that Austin and Hunter were throwers. He stated that Memorial high school was the host school for the track meet that day. Meaning, they were in charge of everything. Which meant an extra burden on coaches. He knew that morning that he would be pulled into many directions. He specifically assigned his throwers a.k.a. Austin and Hunter to take leadership positions which meant putting up the tent and moving equipment.

He sent a text to Austin that morning that said I need you to step up and be a leader today.

He also stated that there was no rain delay. He stated that it looked like it would rain, but track was still running as usual.

He was then asked what happened on April 2

Earlier this week, I talked about how Congress is hiding the U.S.โ€“Israel military relationship in the defense bill.

There is a second bill that goes further. It makes it law that a president can't pull intelligence sharing back without clearing a legal hurdle, even if you elect one who wants to. ๐Ÿงต
It's Section 622 of the Senate's Intelligence Authorization Act, approved by the Intelligence Committee last month on a bipartisan vote. Think of it as the intelligence-side twin of Section 224, the weapons-integration provision I broke down previously.
The clause that matters: intelligence sharing with Israel "shall not be suspended, reduced, or otherwise materially limited" unless the president names a specific national-security reason and reports it to Congress.

The default is bolted to on. Reversal is the exception.

Two insanely good strategies that you should use asap..

Niche Bending & Niche Blending.

Here's how it works ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ
Niche Bending:

Take a proven format from one niche and copy-paste it into an adjacent one.

That's it ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ
Example: Felune (cat channel)

Their angle is educational cat content

"If Your Cat Sleeps With You, They're Trying to Tell You This!"
"Do These 7 Things Daily And Your Cat'll Know You LOVE Them"

And as you can see it works extremely well! Image

NEW: In opposing efforts to block the Anti-Weaponization Fund in not just one, but two courts, DOJ claims the case is now moot because acting AG Todd Blanche says they've dropped the fund. 1/
I'm not aware of any cases finding a dispute moot because of verbal promises by government officials. But more importantly, based on the cases they cite in their abbreviated legal argument about mootness, nor is DOJ. 2/ Image
Ordinarily, the "voluntary cessation" doctrine requires the party claiming mootness to show "it is absolutely clear the allegedly wrongful behavior could not reasonably be expected to recur." 3/
