You’re talking about that national anthem from the home run derby. Typically, these become a joke and a sore spot for fans and commentators alike. The “eligible for compensation” line is a play on words suggesting it hurt to listen to, like those commercials for legal compensation.
When it says, “First Trump’s ear now ours,” it’s likely alluding to former President Donald Trump’s tendency to always be in the middle of various events or controversies. In other words, that was as bad as anything he ever said or did while in office.
Usually, after these events, fans take to Twitter or whatever to complain about how terrible they were. So, if you want reactions or to see it again, look up some highlights from the event or check out what people said about it on social media that night.
Suppose you’re into making fun of this type of thing. In that case, there’s probably some sports commentary website or fan forum with a thread dedicated to making jokes about this performance somewhere. Websites like ESPN or Bleacher Report usually have recaps highlighting notable national anthem performances at big sporting events,
The 2024 Home Run Derby featured a rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner performed by Ingrid Andress that has drawn widespread scorn among fans and pundits alike. Social media users drew comparisons to other infamous national anthem performances throughout history, with many expressing their disdain for Andress’ off-key delivery with tongue-in-cheek comments about seeking monetary compensation for having had to sit through it.

The United States tax system is intricate and has multiple levels: federal, state, county, and city. Here’s an overview of the taxes that are collected at each level:
Federal Taxes
Income Tax:
Individuals: This refers to the tax on wages, salaries, investments, and other income types. In America, they use a progressive system whereby as one earns more money, so does their tax rate increase.
Corporations: Taxation is based on company profits. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act implemented a major change: reducing this rate from 35% to 21%.
FICA Taxes: Both employees and employers pay Social Security and Medicare contributions (Federal Insurance Contributions Act). Social Security costs employees 6.2%, while they contribute to Medicare at a rate of 1.45%. Employers match these rates, which they then send to the government.
Capital Gains Tax:
This kind of charge affects any profit derived from selling assets or investments. If the asset has been held for less than one year, it is classified as short-term gain where higher rates apply, unlike those long-term gains made when such after the holding period exceeds twelve months, attracting lower percentages.
Estate Tax:
It’s a duty levied on wealth transfer following death; only a few people have estates large enough to be taxed under current US law. A high federal estate exemption covers most estates, exempting them from paying this tax.
Other Taxes:
Excise duties imposed upon specific goods like fuel, tariffs, etcetera attracted by various imported items into America, besides some other particular kinds of taxes on different commodities such as alcoholic beverages, among others
House Owners:
Homeowners pay property tax based on the government’s decision on the property’s worth; this money goes towards local services such as schools, police stations, and roads.
There are so many different taxes at different levels that people have to pay them repeatedly. This might seem unfair because individuals and businesses could be taxed on parts of their income, spending, or assets more than once.
To sum up
You should know how taxes work if you want to make good financial decisions. Governments have their ways of raising revenue, but they all rely on some taxation; when these methods overlap, it can create big problems for individuals and companies alike. For more information, try looking things up online—plenty of websites will give you details about everything from federal rules to local changes!

Very well, said Rhonda. The message you shared provides a solid framework for setting and working towards meaningful goals. However, the opening line “Just do it” seems at odds with the detailed planning steps outlined afterwards. Letting my assistant role respond: While the Nike slogan “Just do it” can be a motivating call to take action, achieving significant goals usually requires more than just diving in without a plan. The step-by-step approach described in the message is a wise one: Reflecting on your core values ensures your goals align with what truly matters to you. Setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals makes them concrete and actionable. Creating a detailed plan of smaller tasks and deadlines provides structure and breaks down lofty goals into manageable steps. Seeking support provides accountability and encouragement, which sustains motivation. Prioritizing self-care ensures you have the energy and resilience for the journey. Spontaneous action can work for small goals, but substantial life goals often require the patience, self-awareness and strategic planning laid out here. “Just doing it” without that purposeful approach can lead to aimless efforts. The message wisely advocates balancing the “just do it” impulsiveness with mindful goal-setting and a step-by-step roadmap tailored to your priorities. With that comprehensive plan in place, you can then fully commit to “just doing it” in a focused, sustainable way.

Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, has been found guilty on all three federal gun charges by a federal jury. The charges include lying about his drug use on a federal background check form and possessing a gun while addicted to or using illegal drugs.

Context of the Trial of Hunter Biden:
The jury deliberated for just under three hours before reaching the guilty verdicts. The sentencing is expected to take place 120 days following the verdict, which means it is likely to occur before the next Election Day.

I love the C-8 Corvette Convertible. Launched in 2020, the C-8 CORVETTE has been a hit. With a MSRP of $56,000 for a coupe with a targa top and a MSRP of $65,000 for a C-8 Corvette Convertible, the car was worth every bit of the money. However, scalpers were selling the C-8 Convertible and Corvette coupes at a premium. Sometimes $50,000 over sticker.i would love to order a C-8 brand new Corvette Convertible.
