So what does most natural remaining beach in #HollywoodBeach sound like in the morning? Like this, via my friend, #CatUden, whom I'm PROUD to support for Mayor of #HollywoodFL in November, so we'll have a Mayor who says what they mean, means what they say. https://www.instagram.com/p/C31pST6sYvW/?img_index=1

On Howard Stern's show today, Biden claimed...

In 2024, a presidential election year, facts still matter in America. Despite how much Joe Biden consistently lies about his own life and voting record, serially misrepresenting it in a sad, pathetic attempt to place himself in the center of everything that matters or has has value in the USA, and its history since WWII, to appeal to people whom his own staff and supporters mock. Biden's false face and lies aren't fooling anyone! Compare Biden's lies about saving lives as a lifeguard with Ronald Reagan's actual reality as a teenager in the 1920's. Yes, I've got some thoughts! https://hallandalebeachblog.blogspot.com/2024/04/in-2024-presidential-election-year.html ----

Good Morning #Thanksgiving Week Tuesday, about to get in a few miles on the hills of #BabsonPark #FL, while visiting my Mom.

You and I, literally, grew-up in a #SoFL where Don Shula benched VERY GOOD players for offensive fumbles or "mental mistakes" in pass coverages/special teams. Even Mercury Morris in '72, when he + Larry Csonka BOTH got 1,00 yards rushing!
Bec of Shula, that's my standard, too.😉 pic.twitter.com/XYX2oSgtUB

Bob Knight’s legacy — particularly his IU tenure — is undeniably complex. But in a part of the world mad about basketball, at a time when the rest of the world was changing too fast, Knight gave Indiana fans pride to stand on. They never forgot that: https://t.co/fJJz1Qgztl
