LOS ANGELES OLYMPICS CONTROVERSY: With the 2028 Games approaching, LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia has subpoenaed Olympic organizers, demanding financial records, bank statements and details about major contracts. Why does it matter? Well, Los Angeles taxpayers could be on the hook if the Games go over budget. LA28 has pushed back against the controller’s actions, saying the argument diverts resources from preparations.
Should taxpayers be concerned, here?
That really wiping out people’s money…
BREAKING: America’s $1.7 trillion auto loan market is headed for a crash, per Reuters.
Auto loans are now one of the biggest sources of household debt, bigger than credit cards.
And the strain is showing: 1 in 5 Americans is behind on at least one loan, the highest since 2010, and the average car on the road is now nearly 13 years old, a record.
So who’s going to jail for this shit????
$125 million🤣🤣 they got off easy and so
Women’s pocketing a lot of money way from this… the environmental clean up will dwarf that amount… they still have no idea… what a joke

When you get older something weird happens. You don't become your father, but you start understanding why he was always so tired, so quiet, and so irritated by things that made absolutely no sense to you as a kid.
That sigh he used to let out before fixing something for the third time? That wasn't anger... it was a man doing mental math on bills, responsibilities, and why the lawn mower always broke right after payday.
Back then I thought he was just being dramatic. Now I realize he was carrying the emotional weight of an entire household while pretending everything was "fine" and asking for nothing but maybe five minutes of peace and a decent chair.
And now here I am, 43 years old, realizing that if my dad had access to some GG4, he might've survived it all with less back pain and fewer clenched jaws.
I finally get why he'd stare at the garage wall like it was a TV... that's what happens when you're overstimulated by life and just need your brain to buffer.
These days, I'll take a few pulls, sit quietly, and suddenly I feel him. The patience. The sacrifice. The exhaustion masked as responsibility.
I used to think getting high was about escaping.
Turns out, sometimes it's about slowing down enough to understand the man who raised you...
and forgiving him for being human while doing the hardest job on earth without a manual or any gas to smoke.

Andy Pages's father is a carpenter in Cuba. His main job was fixing up boats.
He had friends who worked with wood, and they would give him lumber, and he would make his son baseball bats.
That is where the bats came from. A man in a shop, making them by hand, out of whatever his friends could spare.
Tonight that son drove in the two runs that put the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.
Here is the distance between those two sentences.
Pages grew up in Cuba playing soccer and basketball and baseball. He was one of the most recognized young players on the island and he never played a game in the Cuban National Series.
At 16 he told his family he was going to the Dominican Republic to try to get a contract with a Major League organization.
Here is what he says about telling his father.
"When I left Cuba, from the moment I told him I was leaving, he just started crying."
"It was the first time I ever saw him cry."
Then he went eight months without anybody signing him. Scouts told him he did not have the speed to play the outfield in the major leagues. After the Dodgers finally signed him, people questioned his weight.
He did not go back to Cuba for about seven years.
When he finally did, he brought something with him.
"When I went back to Cuba, I took him a few of my bats."
The man who carved his first bats out of scrap got handed the real ones.
Now here is the part that is still true today.
Nobody in his family except his wife has ever watched him play in person. Not one game.
Major League games are not broadcast in Cuba. So his parents and his 18 year old sister follow his career through box scores and clips on YouTube.
Phone calls frequently do not go through. When his parents do get through, it is usually around midnight where he lives, and he is asleep. Bad storms knock out the lines and he can go days without hearing anything from home.
In July he made the All-Star team and could not reach his parents to tell them. He said he was not sure they knew.
This is how he describes it.
"Anything can happen to me in a game, and it won't be harder than all of that."
The thing he says gives him the most joy is not the All-Star team. It is that people walk up to his parents in Cuba just to tell them how well their son is doing.
Tonight, in Atlanta, Andy Pages went 2 for 3 and drove in two runs in the seventh inning to break a tie against the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers won 4 to 1 and the series with it.
Somewhere in Cuba tonight, a carpenter is going to find out what his kid did from a box score.
