My mom has been really sick and hasn’t seen her grandchildren in over a year. On Wednesday my daughter and I flew to surprise her for her 75th birthday . . . sound on. pic.twitter.com/jfL1GqiIHT— David Gelles (@dgelles) April 23, 2021 Franny and my Mom got to talk with @chriscuomo about the big surprise.

Brett Favre blasts woke sports: “I want to watch a game, not what’s going on outside of the game, and I think the general fan feels the same way.”
Brett Favre is asking to get sacked by the hyper-sensitive left "woke" crowd that encourages political grandstanding in every public sphere. Favre dares to disagree with twitter bullies who refuse to tolerate opposing opinions, saying "I think both sides, for the most part, want to see it just remain about the sport, not about politics." Both sides? Not the liberal side! They're WOKE! Cue the outrage machine (even before listening to his comments in full context)! The 20 year pro football veteran and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Favre refuses to accept woke sports and feels most fans agree with him. Favre to interviewer Andrew Klavan: “Something’s got to unite us. And the games or sport in the poast has been some kind of
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: The show is 60 Minutes but the narrative driven editing is built for 16 seconds
This is wild. Watch Ron DeSantis’s full answer on Publix, Walgreen’s and CVS vaccine distribution and look at the edited cut 60 Minutes used: pic.twitter.com/FqTRgOZS9Z — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) April 5, 2021 This mashup of what 60 Minutes aired compared to the full context of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' reply clearly illuminates why so many Americans distrust media. The reporter is pushing a pay-for-play conspiracy involving the Republican governor but his timeline of which companies were given COVID vaccine options dismantles CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi's narrative. But she edited it to tell the story from her "objective" perch. Even some prominent Democrats slammed the 60 Minutes story. CBS said it edited the governor's comments down to the poignant words that answered the reporter's question. Hmm. The
HEAVY, LOW, SLOW – United Airlines flight 328 suffers catastrophic engine failure, returns safely to Denver with no injuries
United Airlines flight 328 took off from Denver International Airport and soon suffered a catastrophic engine failure. Just after takeoff is the most challenging time for flight crews because the aircraft is heavy, low, and slow. Maneuverability is more challenging and higher altitude allows for more strategy time. It was a uncontained engine failure, meaning that the outer protective shell did not contain all the splintered engine parts within. Debris from the exploded engine and its protective cowling rained down on suburbs northwest of Denver. No one on the ground was injured. Here's video of the burning engine as the plane was routed back to the departure airport. There were 231 passengers on board and 10 crew members. The crew brought the aircraft
Smother Brother: they can’t be serious about triple masking
The public has been on an information roller coaster since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. First...just the old people are in danger. Then it was that people with symptoms should wear a mask. Then we needed a national mask wearing mandate. Now it's two masks to prevent exposure to coronavirus. And maybe a third booster shot will become necessary. There is even talk about the effectiveness of THREE masks! THREE! Isn't that like wearing Saran wrap over your mouth and nose and trying to access oxygen? Here's the full CNBC report from former Fox News host Shep Smith and former CBS/MSNBC/NBC correspondent and host Contessa Brewer about the greatness of not just double-masking, but triple-masking. h/t: @Justin_Hart pic.twitter.com/DgOhHuzUS5 — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) January 27,
TULSI TIME 🔥 Joe & Kamala weren’t always in love
Now that they're White House partners, it's fascinating to watch a segment of the 2020 presidential debate among Democrats. First there was Kamala Harris ripping into Joe Biden's support of the racially oppressive 1990s Crime Bill. Joe lobbed some heat back at her and then candidate Tulsi Gabbard absolutely shredded Harris for her racially biased strategies as California attorney general. Tulsi has been pushed to the sidelines and now President Joe Biden and Madam Vice President Kamala Harris are all good. For now. I spoke with former Obama/Biden White House official Jerry Abramson about the mended relationship between the president and vice president. LISTEN: former Obama/Biden White House official Jerry Abramson on @JoeBiden's work ethic, negotiation skills, and relationship swerves with
Note to self: never post your insurrection participation photos
When Trump fans stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, some Kentuckians were caught up in the fervor. Take the two geniuses photographed above. Kentuckian Robert Bauer shared photos on social media, making it easier to be convicted on federal charges. Brilliant! The basic rule of thumb is that attending political rallies is an excellent use of one's First Amendment rights. Deciding to go past barricades and into the U.S. Capitol - just like entering a freshly exploded bank vault under the notion "Well, the door was open!" - is a moronic strategy. Rally = good. Invasion of the Capitol = not so smart. Defense lawyers are expensive and Tyler Perry & Oprah won't pay legal fees for conservatives. Henderson, Kentucky nurse Lori

When Kentuckians make international news, it's not always our best look. Here's today's global item. Someone spray painted graffiti on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's front door at his Louisville home. Congress has been debating another "free money" stimulus package ranging between $600 and $2,000 per person. McConnell has resisted the higher payments. “WERES MY MONEY” 😳 A Kentucky political activist validates the state’s woeful education ranking. pic.twitter.com/70jdQO8Pqz— Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) January 3, 2021 The day before Sen. McConnell's house was tagged, a San Francisco home belonging to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was vandalized. The California tagger appeared to spell everything correctly and use proper punctuation.

Thank you, Jordan Love and Loveless Danica – Aaron Rodgers is fully engaged with football
Green Bay Packers fans were stunned when the team used its first round 2020 NFL draft pick on Utah State quarterback Jordan Love. Wait...what? The team with Aaron Rodgers, the greatest quarterback in Green Bay's glorious history, opts not to draft an excellent receiver to complement its superstar leader? Yeppers. Packers management decided to prepare for the eventual exit of 37-year-old Rodgers, mindful of age, money, and forward momentum. So Jordan Love is now on the sideline witnessing Rodgers in perhaps his greatest season ever. On Sunday Night Football last night, Rodgers was touted by announcers Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth as the leading MVP candidate again. So what's up with Aaron? Seeing the Packers use their primary draft pick for a young quarterback
Louisville vs Kentucky basketball condensed game
Why spend two hours watching the UK vs UofL rivalry game when you can see every critical moment condensed here? Enjoy! “Not many times that you can not play very well and beat Kentucky,” Louisville coach Chris Mack said. “But I thought that’s what happened today.” Louisville Trinity High School phenom David Johnson has been an outstanding boost to the University of Louisville basketball program. “This win is going to give us a big push going forward into the new year.” @davidjohnson13 spoke with @TheAndyKatz after @LouisvilleMBB defeated their in-state rival Kentucky. pic.twitter.com/bJPnkQ9pXA — NCAA March Madness (@marchmadness) December 26, 2020
