Game 7 James Harden showed up and it didn’t matter at all
Jarret Allen just dunked on Cade Cunningham and you can see his heart break in half
There should be an emote called like :shah-of-iran: or :reza-pahlavi: and it’s Phil Leotardo

That doesn’t really fit with what I’ve seen?
The DNC does NOT like him at all wtf are you talking about? They would much rather Janet Mills be the democratic candidate.
He has extremely weak competition, he’s a very good speaker who says the right things, and Trump has lowered the bar enough that it’s easier to survive scandals that used to doom political careers.
Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin hanging out together, thrilled and enthralled while watching Dragon Ball Z. They release a joint statement where they urge their people to fight Hitler “with the spirit of Goku, the resilience of Piccolo, and the ferocity of Vegeta.”

Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif revealed during an interview with Hum News on 11 May that a deal to bring Turkiye and Qatar into the mutual defense pact with Saudi Arabia is being “finalized.”
“If Qatar and Turkiye also join the existing agreement between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, it would create significant cooperation in both the economic and defense spheres in our region and reduce external dependence,” Asif told Pakistan-based Hum News, adding that their inclusion would be “a welcome development.”
The agreement with Riyadh is still being finalized, Asif noted, adding that a wider arrangement could strengthen regional cooperation.
The defense minister said the initiative is not aimed at any specific country, but is intended to create a broader platform among “like-minded” states for regional stability and collective security.
“Interdependence in the world can never be completely eliminated. Such an agreement is of great importance for maintaining peace within our region,” he said.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed the Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement last year during Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s visit to Riyadh.
Under the nuclear-armed nation’s pact, “any aggression against either country shall be considered an aggression against both.”
The move has revived discussion of an “Islamic NATO”-style bloc, as escalating global security crises push regional states toward tighter military coordination.
Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have held several meetings since Washington launched its war on Iran and Tehran began retaliatory attacks on US and Israeli assets across the Gulf region, including Saudi Arabia.
In early April, Pakistani fighter jets and support aircraft landed at Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz Air Base under the two countries’ mutual defense pact, as Riyadh also announced a $5 billion payment to help stabilize Pakistan’s foreign currency reserves.
India said that, after the Pakistan–Saudi pact was signed, it was closely following the process.
“We have seen reports regarding the strategic defense agreement signed between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. We will evaluate the implications of this development for our national security as well as regional and global stability,” the Indian Foreign Ministry stated at the time.
That’s +$10.2 TRILLION in market cap added in just 6 weeks.
The US bond market crisis is intensifying.
While everyone is focused on AI and the Iran War, the US bond market is in a complete meltdown.
The 30Y Yield is now above 5.00% and the 10Y Yield is nearing the pivotal 4.50% level, which resulted in President Trump’s “90-day tariff pause” in April 2025.
Long-term yields are now ABOVE levels seen prior to Fed rate cuts in another brutal reminder that the Fed can not contain the long-end of the yield curve.
At the current pace, we will likely see US mortgage rates rise back above 7.00% this year.
The question then becomes:
How much longer can markets (or the US government) ignore the yield crisis?
And, who folds first?
