Baseball Legend Roger Clemens Uses 1 Word To Describe President Trump
Baseball Legend Roger Clemens Uses 1 Word To Describe President Trump originally appeared on The Spun. President Trump recently had some remarks about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran that really grabbed the attention for baseball legend Roger Clemens. In a now-viral moment at the White House yesterday, President Trump remarked that he was extremely upset at the two countries for still fighting even after his military action last week. He dropped an F-bomb while decrying that the two nations "don't know what the F they're doing." "We have two countries that have been fighting so long that they don't know what the (expletive) they're doing," Trump said. Clemens reposted a clip of him saying that and had just one word to describe the president: "Legend." Clemens' fans in the comments agreed: "When a Legend reposts a legends post of a Legend. You hit 3 squared territory. Now that's 3-D chess," one user replied. "Legends recognize legends," wrote another. "I voted for that F-Bomb," a third declared. "This is as real as it gets.. I love this man more and more every day..." "He made more sense of the situation than anyone with that statement." Roger Clemens has long been a supporter of President Trump. He's been an active member of the Republican Party for decades and has donated his own money to supporting their political causes through the years. Just a few months ago he visited Trump at the White House. The President is clearly very fond of him. As a player, Clemens was a two-time World Series champion and an 11-time All-Star during a career spanning nearly a quarter-century. He was voted to the MLB All-Century Team and is a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame. However, Cooperstown has never come calling for Clemens, likely due to him being implicated in the steroid scandals of the 2000s. He is the only eligible member of baseball's esteemed 300-win club that never got Legend Roger Clemens Uses 1 Word To Describe President Trump first appeared on The Spun on Jun 25, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jun 25, 2025, where it first appeared.

Solange and Raul Lopez Helped Celebrate 20 Years of Telfar In NYC
Telfar Clemens has always done things his own way. Whether he's disrupting traditional buying and pricing models or building a flagship store in Soho and creating his own TV station, the designer has been a beacon of community in the independent fashion scene. Over the weekend, following a years-long hiatus, Clemens took to the streets of New York City to make a grand return to the runway. At the show, the support and love was crystal clear. Fans, friends, family, and industry insiders all came flocking to the alleyway behind the boutique on the hottest day of the year. Whispers rippled through the crowd as Solange Knowles stepped out from the store and into her seat. Electric hand-held fans and water bottles were passed around and the crowd was rife with anticipation. Clemens briefly popped out to thank everyone for coming, applaud any true fashion fan who snuck into a front-row seat, and lovingly let us know 'We're not late, you are.' Two hours rolled past and the sun began to set between the buildings, casting a dramatic light across the wooden shutters and Telfar-filled clotheslines that were strung up between the buildings. The ambiance alone was enough to romanticize this uniquely New York experience. My phone ticked to 8:15, the stands filled even further with latecomers and excited passersby, and finally, the show kicked off. True to the Telfar spirit, the presentation overturned expectations of a traditional runway event. The cast was filled with people who came directly from the brand's community. (An open casting call culminated in a public vote in an episode titled 'New Models' on the Telfar television platform.) Any preconceived notion of single-file, stoic struts was immediately dismissed. Models walked at awkward, but purposeful, paces, sometimes in rapid strides, sometimes with a slow and sultry attitude (Fellow designer Raul Lopez of Luar donned a baby-blue look and booked it with the power of '90s Shalom Harlow). Some were in a coordinated drove, and others walked waving with their family and toddlers in tow. The spectacle was an impressive feat, amounting to almost 200 people celebrating the brand down the alleyway. Every look garnered a vocal cheer. The clothes felt like logical continuations of the subverted silhouettes for which Telfar is known. Contrast ribbed tanks, 'I Heart New York'-inspired prints, and multi-use skirt/tank tops made up the core of the collection. The runway also furthered the brand's 'fits all' denim, which launched earlier this spring. Skinny jeans, '70s-style jumpsuits, and denim midi skirts paraded down the catwalk in deep indigo hues. Elsewhere, logo jelly sandals appeared in a myriad of colors, just in time for the minimalist footwear wave. The standout remained the accessories. The brand once won fame for its shopping bag, birthed in 2014 and later dubbed 'the Bushwick Birkin.' Though Clemens has said he doesn't love the term, during the height of its popularity—and before the label's innovative bag security program—it was almost as difficult to acquire as a Birkin, too. The brand has since expanded its silhouettes, offering duffels and a 'Dumpling Bag.' However, this time Clemens delved into the shopping-bag riff even further, debuting a deli-inspired Plastic Bag. Any true New Yorker saw their own iconography reflected back at them, which is what makes Telfar's designs so resilient. Twenty years in, Telfar can draw a crowd, an exuberantly fashionable one at that. All things considered, Telfar once again proved that good things are certainly worth the wait.

SF police searching for parolee wanted for a shooting
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – Sioux Falls police are looking for a 28-year-old parolee wanted in connection with a shooting. According to court documents, Dustin Gallegos Jr. shot another man during a drug-related incident, not far from the police station, on Wednesday morning. It left the victim with a fractured left femur. It was around 9:30 Wednesday morning when Sioux Falls Police officers were dispatched to this area on West 2nd Street. When they arrived, court documents say they found a 39-year-old man in a parking lot with several injuries, a bloody face and a gunshot to his left thigh. 1 arrested for selling fentanyl after overdose The victim told police a man came up to him asking for money, but when he said he didn't have any, the man shot him. A witness living nearby told police she heard yelling that morning, followed by a 'pop, pop.'When she looked out her window, she saw a man lying by a tree and a gray sedan leaving the area, which she got video of. Court documents say that the video led detectives to a 24-year-old woman who told police that 'Dusty' did the shooting. The woman came here to the police station, where she told detectives she had 'Dusty' on Facebook. When she pulled up his profile, police were able to identify the man as Dustin Gallegos Jr. According to court documents, the woman told police she met Gallegos Jr. to buy narcotics atan apartment on West 2nd Street where multiple people were, including a man who she had given money to the night before for drugs. That man was the victim in this case. 'There was a discussion between them, they went outside, the woman went to a car,' Sam Clemens with the Sioux Falls Police Department said. 'The two men went a little distance away and then there were gunshots that happened. The victim was shot in the leg. The suspect and the woman left.' Clemens says the two men and the woman knew each other, so since this wasn't a random crime, there's a little less worry when it comes to public safety. 'Because they know each other, it's a little bit different. If it was a stranger crime, where there was no connection between the two of them, we'd probably be a little bit more concerned about the public,' Clemens said. 'In this case, it doesn't seem that there's an overt threat to the public but we still want people to be aware of that and certainly if they know where he's at, to call police.' Gallegos is listed as an active parolee after serving time in prison on meth charges. His arrest warrant is for two counts of aggravated assault. It includes a $100,000 cash bond.
