What we are fighting against.

On Friday, speaking to Christians at the Turning Point Action Believers’ Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump made his authoritarian plans clear: “Get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what: it’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians…. Get out, you’ve got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”

Watch Trump say this.👇 BTW, this happened on Friday. It first appeared in the New York Times at 10:48 am on Saturday. Why wasn’t this story number one at every major outlet!

Video after video. Watch Trump’s weird running mate.👇

Enjoy your Sunday.

Enjoy the Olympics if you are watching. Maybe the information below will help.👇

Above. 👆 Breanna Stewart, star of the NY Liberty, has been capturing the spirit of the 33rd Olympics, while waiting to compete in Team USA’s first women’s basketball game against Japan today at 3 PM.

What should I look out for?

The gymnastics superstar Simone Biles pulled out of the all-around competition in Tokyo because of a mental health issue later described as “the twisties,” when gymnasts feel disoriented in midair. But Biles will back in Paris to try to reclaim her title. (Sunisa Lee, who won the all-around in Biles’s absence in 2021, is back too.) The all-around final is on Aug. 1 at 12:15 p.m.

The American men’s basketball team is loaded with stars: Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Joel Embiid. But plenty of well-known international players will be suiting up as well: Nikola Jokic of Serbia, Victor Wembanyama of France and Giannis Antetokounmpo of Greece. The final is on Aug. 10, 3:30 p.m.

On the women’s side, the U.S. looks ferocious: Breanna Stewart, Alyssa Thomas, A’ja Wilson, Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi, Sabrina Ionescu and more. The final will be on Aug. 11, 9:30 a.m.

In swimming, starting on Saturday, Katie Ledecky of the U.S., a seven-time gold medalist, is back in five events, and Leon Marchand of France could give the home country something to cheer about in several events.

In track, starting Aug. 1, the triple world champion Noah Lyles of the U.S. looks for gold in the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay, and Keely Hodgkinson, a big star in Britain, will be favored in the 800.

It’s Paris. Tell me what events are going to look good.

Well, they won’t be playing beach volleyball by the Eiffel Tower or anything like that, of course.

Wait. Strike that. They actually will be playing beach volleyball by the Eiffel Tower. And equestrian at the Palace of Versailles, archery at Invalides and open-water swimming in the Seine. Everything but trampoline in the Musée d’Orsay.

Now how are they going to manage surfing, given that the Seine does not exactly produce gnarly breakers? Move it to Tahiti, of course, where surfers starting Saturday will take on the dangerous Wall of Skulls.

When does it end?

The closing ceremony will be held at the Stade de France on Aug. 11 at 2 p.m.;.(source. New York Times).

Tomorrow the Roundup will ask another important question — What are we fighting for?
