Pete Buttigieg calls Fox News on their BS agenda

Host looks absolutely foolish, but he probably doesn't care.

What if everyone without a home was given one?

It seems to be working in Finland...

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Looking like Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk is going to happen

Would be interested in hearing opinions on this. Fury is the MUCH bigger fighter. A win by Usyk, who possesses tremendous skill, would be the pinnacle of his career.

But Fury has incredible combinations, tremendous punching power and excellent footwork and head movement. That said, it's hard to imagine he would get full credit should he defeat Usyk because he would be vanquishing a considerably smaller opponent.


Oleksandr Usyk refused to be intimidated once he entered the land of the big men. But after aggregating every world title in the cruiserweight division, the Ukrainian set his sights on repeating that feat one division higher.

Thus far, the former Olympic gold medalist has been just as dominant. With wins over Chazz Witherspoon, Derek Chisora, and back-to-back triumphs against Anthony Joshua, the latter resulting in a unified heavyweight reign, Usyk is now the proud owner of the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF titles.

Nevertheless, even with most of the heavyweight straps in his possession, Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) knows good and well that until he defeats WBC titlist, Tyson Fury, he won’t be viewed as the best fighter in his weight class.

By all accounts, the 34-year-old from Manchester, England, is all for an undisputed clash with his current rival. However, considering that Usyk isn’t one of the biggest heavyweights around, Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) has a difficult time envisioning him standing up to his offensive onslaught.

See Tigger jump

Impressive! And probably best to stay out of the way.
