I used to be a loyal fan and watched these games all the time. Now…I just couldn’t care less. About 5-6 years now. They can be the ChinaBA for all I care.

Chinaball. I sure don't care what happens to them....well, that's actually not quite true. I hope that they fail entirely, and the whole league collapses., so I guess I do care a bit.

I hope and pray the NBA goes bankrupt. I quit watching them when they attacked our flag and country. Nothing could ever make me watch an NBA game again—ever.

I quit watching after Larry Bird, and digital tv started. The players got bigger and uglier, and digital tv made the close ups unbearable. Pull the cameras back 200 yards, or wear helmets, like the NFL, and no tattoo's, sickening.

California energy officials issued a sobering warning this month, telling residents to brace for potential blackouts as the state’s energy grid faces capacity constraints heading into the summer months. And since the state has committed to phase out all new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 — well ahead of federal targets — the additional load from electric vehicle (EV) charging could add more strain to the electric grid. “Let’s say we were to have a substantial number of [electric] vehicles charging at home as everybody dreams,” Ram Rajagopal, an associate professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, who authored

This afternoon Joe Biden invoked the Defense Production Act giving Health and Human Services the legal authority to control the supplies needed for the creation of baby formula (how it is made), and the authority to determine distribution equity (who gets it). White House – “[T]he authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act to require performance of contracts or orders … is delegated to the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to all health resources, including the ingredients necessary to manufacture infant formula.”

Bush made the embarrassing gaffe in a speech at his presidential center in Dallas, where he spoke about the importance of fair elections and slammed Russia's autocratic system. 'The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq,' Bush said, before shaking his head and correcting himself. 'I mean, of Ukraine.' As the audience fell into awkward silence, Bush muttered
