MoreWhat happens when the best basketball player in the world is out?Well, we will find out when the San Antonio Spurs (1-1) visit the Portland Trail Blazers (1-1) at the Moda Center for Game 3 of their first-round series in the 2026 NBA Playoffs.The Spurs’ star is “questionable” for Friday after entering concussion protocol when he fell on his face in the second quarter of Game 2. Based on how San Antonio has managed Wembanyama in his first three seasons, I’m literally betting that he won’t play in Game 3. Otherwise, there is no way I’d take Portland at anything less than +4. However, I’ll gladly BET TRAIL BLAZERS +2.5 (down to a pick ’em) under the assumption that the Spurs don’t rush Wemby back.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON OUTKICK.COMSince Wembanyama became the NBA’s first-ever unanimous Defensive Player of the Year this season, and he is the presumptive MVP betting favorite for the next 10+ years, this Spurs team should be a road underdog in the playoffs without him. Per CleaningTheGlass.com, Wemby has a +15.3 on/off net rating, and his impact is greater on the defensive end. Trail Blazers C Donovan Clingan becomes the best big on the…
The U.S. Air Force plans to more than double its F-15EX Eagle II fleet to 267 aircraft, up from the previously planned 129, as part of the fiscal 2027 budget request rolled out this week. The revised plan calls for 24 additional Eagle IIs next year at a cost of roughly $3 billion, according to the service’s fiscal 2027 budget request. “This will complete building existing F-15EX units and then begin to recapitalize the aging F-15E fleet,” a service spokesperson told Air & Space Forces Magazine.Service officials framed the Boeing-built fighter as a complement to, rather than competitor with, Lockheed Martin’s F-35A. “There are fundamental differences in what we’re looking for in a platform like the F-15EX, as compared to other advanced fifth-generation and sixth-generation fighters,” an Air Force official told reporters at an April 21 Pentagon briefing, citing the jet’s weapons-rail capacity and “its role in the Pacific theater.”The F-15EX can carry up to 12 air-to-air missiles, more than any current U.S. fighter, along with larger external standoff munitions, capabilities the Air Force has tied to homeland cruise missile defense and long-range Pacific strike profiles. Its non-stealth design keeps it out of contested penetration missions reserved for the F-35A…
The United States ruler is consistently insulting other countries and those who reside or immigrate from them. In a controversial social media repost of a commentary that called India and China “hellholes.” After A Fight That Devolved Into Insults, Trump Says He Can Forgive Musk Trump Insults Justin Trudeau, Calling Him A “Loser” On Thursday, Trump reposted a letter from American conservative political commentator and radio host Michael Savage on X, which described immigrants from India as “gangsters with laptops.” In a response posted on X, Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal termed the remarks as “obviously uninformed, inappropriate, and in poor taste.” US Congressman Ami Bera, a Democrat and son of Indian immigrants, called Trump’s post “offensive, ignorant, and beneath the dignity of the office he holds.” “They reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of who we are as a nation. America has always been strengthened by generations of immigrants who come here, work hard, and contribute to our country,” he wrote. –RT “They certainly do not reflect the reality of the India-US relationship, which has long been based on mutual respect and shared interests,” Jaiswal posted, according to a report by RT.

They’re busy with illegal meat busts, too.U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport recently uncovered a monkey carcass and illegal meat during separate X-ray examinations.The carcass belonged to a traveler from Cameroon, who packaged the primate in the traveler’s luggage.PROTEIN BOOM IS THREATENING TO WIPE OUT VEGETARIAN CHAIN AS SHUTDOWN LOOMS”Due to significant human health concerns, the monkey remains were detained by CBP and destroyed in accordance with partner governing agency directives,” the agency said.It wasn’t the only concerning find from the region. Another traveler from Liberia tried to sneak in “ruminant meat” identified as beef. “CBP agriculture specialists inspected eight boxes within the traveler’s baggage and discovered meat, bones and hair concealed in dried seafood,” officials said in a statement.”The traveler admitted that the concealed meat was beef.”While seafood is generally admissible, certain meats are banned due to disease risks in their countries of origin, including bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) and foot-and-mouth disease, according to CBP.”I feel for the customs agents who came across that mess.” CBP said 125 pounds of the meat was seized,…
A U.S. sailor assigned to a mine countermeasures ship was scratched by a monkey in Thailand, sidelining him from a minesweeping mission in the Middle East, according to Navy officials.The monkey attack occurred in Phuket, where the Avenger-class mine countermeasures ship USS Chief was moored briefly to refuel. Axios first reported the monkey attack Thursday. “The sailor received medical care and was transferred back to Japan for further care,” Cmdr. Matthew Comer, a spokesperson for the Navy’s 7th Fleet, said in an emailed statement. ”There were no operational impacts or delays to Chief.” Navy officials confirmed the service member received only a light scratch, but protocol required a medical transfer because of the brush with a wild animal. The Navy did not specify the species of monkey involved in the attack.The incident occurred just days after two U.S. soldiers were wounded in an encounter with a bear in a remote area of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, while conducting a land navigation exercise. The Army said in a Monday statement the soldiers were treated for serious injuries at an Anchorage hospital and had been discharged.

MoreThe United States plans to deploy more high-tech missile systems to the Philippines to help deter aggression in the South China Sea, where the treaty allies on Tuesday condemned what they called China’s “illegal, coercive, aggressive, and deceptive activities.”Beijing has repeatedly expressed alarm over the installation in the northern Philippines of a U.S. mid-range missile system called the Typhon in 2024 and of an anti-ship missile launcher last year. It said the U.S. weapons were aimed at containing China’s rise and warned that these were a threat to regional stability.China has asked the Philippines to withdraw the missile launchers from its territory, but officials led by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. have rejected the demand.U.S. and Philippine officials held annual talks Monday in Manila on broadening security, political and economic engagements and boosting collaboration with regional security allies.The U.S. and the Philippines outlined in a joint statement Tuesday specific defense and security plans for this year, including joint military exercises, Washington’s support to help modernize the Philippine military and efforts “to increase deployments of U.S. cutting-edge missile and unmanned systems to the Philippines.”The longtime allies “underscored their support for preserving freedom of navigation and overflight, unimpeded lawful commerce and other lawful…

More than 60,000 fans packed Allegiant Stadium on Night 2 of WrestleMania 41 with the buzz of the first night still filling the air and the anticipation that anything could happen on the highly anticipated WWE event of the year.WWE star Randy Orton slithered around the ring, awaiting his opponent. It could have been anybody as the former champion was left without an opponent. But that night in Las Vegas was something special. Not only for Orton who was making his 20th WrestleMania appearance, but for the man who walked through the curtain and onto the entrance ramp.”Say his name and he appears.” Every pro wrestling fan in the house knew who was coming out.

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. By the time we got to this stage, I always thought that most people would understand what was happening. But of course, that isn’t true at all. Even though we are literally right on the brink of an apocalyptic war with Iran, most of the population doesn’t seem too concerned. But they should be. The Iranian regime has already shown that it is willing to gun down tens of thousands of its own people. When it comes to securing the survival of their regime, there is no limit to what Ayatollah Khamenei and his minions would be willing to do. That could potentially include firing ballistic missiles that have been armed with chemical and biological weapons at Israeli cities. That could also potentially include releasing a biological weapon on U.S. soil. Those who choose to underestimate the barbarity of the Iranian regime are making an enormous mistake. Over the weekend, it was being reported that the U.S. military is getting ready for “sustained, weeks-long operations against Iran if President Donald Trump orders an attack”… The US military is preparing for the possibility of sustained, weeks-long operations against Iran if…

John Carter’s cognitive ability as “worse than Biden,” saying, “vote for me, a guy who’s not half dead.”Despite President Donald Trump endorsing Carter for re-election, Shlomi believes he would be a better ally in Congress for the president. He suggested Carter is no longer up for the job, likening his continued presence in the House of Representatives to a form of elder abuse.”He’s not a fighter,” said Shlomi, adding, “It’s not that he’s old, but his capacity is lacking and Trump doesn’t know that.”TEXAS DEMOCRAT BLASTED FOR TELLING LATINO, BLACK, ASIAN PEOPLE TO UNITE AGAINST ‘OPPRESSOR,’ ‘TAKE OVER’ US After years in the media world, Shlomi said he decided to break into politics after “seeing the decline of the civilization.””I’m seeing people…

As with the Grammys earlier this month, many celebrities used the award show as an opportunity to condemn the men and women in uniform at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as President Donald Trump’s administration works to enforce immigration law. Natasha Rothwell, a writer and actress known for her involvement with “The White Lotus,” “Insecure,” and “Saturday Night Live,” took a step beyond simply wearing an anti-ICE pin.”Hi, everyone!

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! One teenager has been arrested in connection with what officials described as a “senseless” shooting that broke out in New York City as crowds of children gathered at the bus stop after school dismissal, killing one 16-year-old boy, police said Sunday. The Wednesday incident occurred in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx amid what officials and witnesses characterized as an escalating wave of violence in the borough, prompting affected family members to criticize Mayor Zohran Mamdani and law enforcement for not doing enough to keep New Yorkers safe.Authorities identified the slain victim as Christopher Redding, an aspiring football player at John F. Kennedy High School, who sustained a gunshot wound to the back. According to a GoFundMe page, Redding was defending his friends who were being targeted by a group of individuals.
