Tattoo Thursday

At Golf Digest, Charley Hull shares wild, 'drunk' story of how she wound up with her first tattoo

Like Las Vegas, what happens in Ibiza stays in Ibiza. Unless you wind up getting a tattoo there. Such is the case for Charley Hull, who shared a wild story about her first foray into getting inked. She was in Ibiza. She was 17. And, yes, she was "drunk."

Hull told the story during an interview with Golfweek's Adam Schupak that spanned many topics, but the tat tales were certainly a highlight. Take it away, Charley!

"I’ve got three tattoos. I've got one on my foot. I got drunk when I was in Ibiza when I was 17 years old. Me and my friend James went out partying. I was coming back from the club, and I thought it would be a great idea to get a tattoo across my head, because me and my best mate, James, our favorite thing we always said to each other was "Hold tight, hold tight." He wouldn't let me get it on my forehead. Instead, I got it on my foot and it says, hold tight. He got a matching one on his arm. We went back to the hotel, woke in the morning hung over, and I went to James, "Bloody hell, was I that drunk last night? I walked back with a plastic bag on my foot." He said, 'No, Charley. That's the wrapping after you've had your tattoo.' I was like, 'What? I got a tattoo?' He said, 'Yeah, you were trying to get it on your forehead and we had to stop you there.'"

And that's why you shouldn't drink alcohol, kids! Thank goodness for James keeping Charley from getting it on her forehead at least. Disaster averted!

"So yeah, I've got one tattoo there," Hull continued. "I've got one of my ex-husband's name on my wrist, which I've tried to get removed. And then me and Georgia [Hall] have matching lightning bolts. Mine is on my right pinky. We always do pinky promises with each other like that. And she's got the same one."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Is France Done For?

Sundance at CTH says Macron Orders Curfew in Primary Tourist Regions of Paris to Stop Discussion of Riots, Arson and Looting, note the "stop discussion." PJM's Rick Moran sees Government Buildings Torched As French Riots Reach the 'Point of No Return'. Hank Berrien at Da Wire, watches as France Burns: Palestinian Flags Fly Over France’s Republic Statue As Riots Rock The Country, "Historic Limoges town hall gutted, 1,200 arrested, 150 cops hurt." At Hombre de Oliver, RIP Limoges Hôtel de Ville. "A few thoughts on city halls inspired by the news of its destruction." At PJM, VodkaPundit wonders Where Are the Gendarmes? Probably rioting for better police stations. Ace hears French Police Flee from Violent "Students" "Protesting Class Sizes" as "Class Size Riots" Spread Throughout Europe. "Boy, foreign immigrants and 35-year-old communist fifth columnists sure are bears for education resources." Larry Alex Taunton @LarryTaunton, "There is no 2a in France. Imagine: Francois hears someone breaking into his home one night. He has no gun. Gun possession, but for rare cases, is illegal. So, he grabs a golf club. He confronts the intruder hellbent on harming his family. Francois puts a 3-wood to the side of Muhammad’s head. Muhammad is hospitalized with a fractured skull and Francois is jailed for excessive use of force. What was he supposed to do? Nothing, really. This is precisely what Democrats want here. All of your rights hang on the Second Amendment." Quote Breaking911 @Breaking911, "Looters in Marseille, France, have reportedly begun targeting private homes, breaking into large villas in the affluent 7th arrondissement." Francois is screwed. 

Althouse sees Tourists salvaging what they can of their Paris trip? Or are these locals? I'm guessing locals. They're smoking! Fox News @FoxNews, "A striking contrast on the streets of Paris: A couple sits sipping drinks at an outdoor café as flames burn just steps away. The moment was captured Saturday near the Arc de Triomphe, on the outskirts of rioting that erupted during demonstrations over rising prices, inequality and public spending. Video shows the pair continuing their conversation as a burning trash bin lights up the background." PJM's Stephen Kruiser thinks The Burqafication of France Is Nearly Complete. Abe Greenwald at Commentary takes on The Riot Coalition. Krzysztof Szczawinski @Kristof_Poland, "The Useful Idiot: A Natural History Specimen: Western, educated, well-meaning.

Krzysztof Szczawinski @Kristof_Poland, "The look of someone discovering reality.

Ace, We Got Your DNA: Federal Agents Dug Through Ilhan Omar's and Her "Sister's" Garbage to Find DNA to Establish Whether Or Not They're Actually Related, "Remember, when you toss out your garbage, you are abandoning it and disowning it, so no warrant is needed to search and seize it. So we have Ilhan "Omar's" DNA." PJM's Cathy Salgado hears there is No Record of Ilhan Omar’s Father’s U.S. Naturalization? This would be a big deal, since her claim to citizenship comes through him, with her receiving citizenship as a minor (a factoid also in dispute) from his naturalization.

Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "The memo went out. “Pearl clutching” is the new Dem dismissal when anyone hits them for advocating violence, calling for punitive lawfare, pretty much whenever they open their mouths. “Spare me the pearl clutching.” All the violent, seditious, gun and money grabbing pearl clutchers are gonna be saying it." Quote Elissa Slotkin @ElissaSlotkin, "Spare me the pearl-clutching — especially from Republican Members of Congress and online MAGA grifters who have cheered President Trump's weaponization of the government against those he doesn’t like, as recently as last week. This is a subject I know something about: Less than a a year ago, Trump directed the DOJ and FBI to investigate me, and then tried to criminally indict me for a 90 second video, exercising basic free speech. The same free speech you’re exercising now, lying about what I said in this clip...." Quote Mike Lee @SenMikeLee, "It is absolutely disgraceful to threaten young Americans for participating in politics and serving their country." Ian Miller @ianmSC, "Amazingly and predictably Elissa Slotkin has managed to make herself the victim after calling for fascist government prosecutions of everyone who disagrees with her political ideology so that they're too scared to ever work in government." Quote Greg Price @greg_price11, "Elissa Slotkin claims that the only reason that she's being attacked for threatening lawfare against young conservatives for serving in the Trump administration is because she's a woman." Is she? It's so hard to tell with Democrats these days. Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke, "Slotkin has, in many ways, done us a favor. She has revealed the ultimate purpose of lawfare, which is to override the will of voters. This is no longer about Trump, if it ever was. The simple truth is that the left has built a long-term system to subvert election results and ultimately entrench de facto one-party rule. We cannot keep fighting the abuses one at a time while leaving the system that produces them untouched. This is why we founded http://Counterlawfare.org. We need to confront this machinery head-on, expose how it operates, and awaken Americans to the full scale of the threat." At his NYPo gig, Insty writes Elissa Slotkin’s threats to prosecute conservatives moves America closer to civil war. Power Line's John Hinderacker worries Is Another Civil War In Our Future? "Once the powers of the federal government are openly deployed to keep one political party in power, there is no basis for shared citizenship and the union is doomed."

For example, 99% of people breaking stuff on the streets believe they're doing it out of an organic uprising. They don't see that the police have been ordered to stand down. They don't see that legal services have already been arranged for them. They don't see that foundations are paying for their bonds.

It remains in our national interest to help Ukraine defend itself from Putin’s aggression." "Option #1 – Senator John Cornyn genuinely doesn’t know that Ukraine has never had access to “Starshield.” The implications within this possibility are alarming, especially when you consider his senate office staff wouldn’t stop him from making a public fool of himself. Option #2 – Assuming he’s not made a mistake. Senator John Cornyn has just publicly exposed a deep state, highly classified secret, outlining to Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin that the United States has indeed been operating the Ukraine targeting system against Russia all along. This has major implications. Option #3 – Again, assuming he’s not made a mistake.

He said he had set up a table next to a “vocal minority” of anti-Israel Rutgers law students to share his views about Hamas — that they’re “rapists, monsters, [and] savages.” Maravelias’ complaint alleges Rutgers Law administrators “disfavored” his political views and “perceiv[ed] him as Jewish” (he’s not), and notes Rutgers is “home to the controversial Center for Security, Race and Rights,” headed by Law Professor Sahar Aziz, whom Maravelias accuses of “ripping [down] his fliers from a bulletin board.”"

 For some values of "random", "celebrity" and "news". It's been a while, hasn't it?

Bounding into Sports reports NFL Podcaster Cam Stewart Becomes Public Enemy #1 For Swifties After He Suggests Tossing Taylor Swift Into Niagara Falls. That/s not nice!

It all started when Cam Stewart, one of the hosts of SportsGrid’s “Drew and Stew Podcast,” was talking about the legitimacy of the Chiefs’ 9-0 record on this week’s show. As in – are they what their record says they are, or are they a paper tiger? Conversation then turned to the upcoming grudge match against Buffalo at Highmark Stadium this weekend, and whether or not the Bills have the juice to take down the undefeated and current Super Bowl Champions.

“I love Buffalo,” Stewart said. “I love the people there…I love the food there and I want something positive to happen for these people. “Haven’t they been through enough? Kansas City, ‘Oh, we’re in Kansas City. We’re living the great life. We win every week,'” he added.

Drew Livingstone, Stewart’s co-host, chimed in to point out that Swift is expected to attend Sunday’s game in Buffalo to support her boyfriend and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.  “Oh, who cares?!” Stewart ranted in response. “Throw her in the [Niagara] Falls.”

At RVN,  Former NASCAR Driver Danica Patrick Reveals What She Was Paid To Support Trump

Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick has shared details about her support for President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign, revealing she received no payment for her appearances and events in his favor. 

This contrasts sharply with reports that Kamala Harris’s campaign allegedly paid $5 million to rapper Megan Thee Stallion for a campaign appearance, a claim that Harris’s team has yet to confirm or deny. Patrick, 42, supported Trump openly during her first-ever involvement in a political campaign, speaking at a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, and joining Trump on the campaign trail—all without compensation.

From Da Caller, US Olympic Skier Lindsey Vonn Coming Out Of Retirement At 40. Good luck! Break a leg! Ooops, maybe I shouldn't say that.

On her resume, Vonn has three Olympic medals, including golds in the downhill and a bronze in super-G, both won at the 2010 Vancouver Games. In the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, she won another medal in the downhill, this time a bronze. On top of that, she also has four World Cup championships and eight medals in the world championships.

Is 2025 the year when NASCAR's Toni Breidinger finally becomes a huge pop culture star?

If Monday's big reveal from Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue is any indication, you're about to see much more of Breidinger.

The Victoria's Secret model, newly signed IMG model and Toyota NASCAR driver announced she'll be in the 2025 SI swim issue via a video where the 25-year-old is in a red bikini, wearing her racing helmet and driving a pink buggy. This is how you make an entrance.

The 73rd Miss Universe competition was held in Mexico City, with the recent unauthorized hotel room visit drama behind it and history was made. No, a biological man wasn't crowned the winner.

The 21-year-old winner, Victoria Kjær Theilvig, was the first winner of Miss Universe from Denmark. It took 73 competitions to be held before someone from the Scandinavian country took home the crown.

The long wait is over. Denmark is on the map. They've finally put one in the win colum. Theilvig topped Chidimma Adetshina of Nigeria, who finished as first runner-up.

RVM, Jillian Michaels Shreds Dems for Attacking One of Their Own Over Transgender Athlete Stance

Celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels didn’t hold back when slamming Democrats for their attacks on Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., following his comments about transgender athletes, as reported by Fox News.

Appearing on Fox & Friends Tuesday, Michaels warned Democrats that their refusal to address voter concerns could cost them future elections.

“This is why your entire party got their butts kicked in the election,” Michaels said bluntly. Turning to Moulton, she added, “Buddy, take a stand and dig in because this is your moment. Wake up your team because you’re going to lose—not just this one but all the others—if you don’t turn this around. People are sick of it. It’s ridiculous.”

RVM,  Katy Perry Gets Roasted After Failed Attempt to Slam Trump Supporters. She's still a thing?

Pop singer Katy Perry is facing backlash after recommending the film Idiocracy on social media in what appeared to be a jab at President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters.

Perry’s post on X (formerly Twitter) late Wednesday drew ridicule from commenters who argued the Biden-Harris administration better reflected the satirical 2006 film directed by Mike Judge.

Perry bypassed popular movie review platforms like Letterboxd to post her recommendation, saying nothing beyond urging her followers to watch the film.

Steve Richards at JTN finds a Former FBI agent says would-be Trump assassin’s devices likely already compromised by intel agencies "The ex-agent said one of the first investigative steps would likely be for the FBI to contact other intelligence agencies about what data, if any, they had collected on Routh." Somebody I know with experience in the criminal justice system looked at Routh's record of arrests with no time served and said "confidential informer". This seems likely to me. Ace, Of Course: The Deep State Ignored Multiple Warnings About the Assassin They Recruited and Set to Kill the President, "Is it even a conspiracy when they're doing it right out in the open? Apparently the left's Red Flag laws don't apply to their Manchurian Candidate killers."

Nor is he exporting weapons to our adversaries. Instead, Couts is declaring that Elon presents a risk to national security because of a joke that he made in the wake of the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life in Florida. He wasn't making fun of Trump for being at risk, however. Someone on Twitter posed the question of why someone would want to kill Trump. Musk responded in a (now deleted) post by pointing out that nobody seems to be trying to kill Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. After being called out on his comment, Musk responded by describing it simply as a "joke that fell flat." That doesn't seem to be satisfying anyone thus far."

Sundance at CTH explores The Unknown 2024 Election Variable: PLAUSIBILITY There will be attempts to interject ballot fraud into the 2024 election, specifically from key regions which have increasingly been accepted as labeled, the Clyburn network.  For the activist leadership on the Obama/Clyburn side of the system, the issue of plausibility is a serious point of discussion. They need the election outcome to remain close in the psyche of the American electorate.  Only if the election is proclaimed to be “close,” and only if the larger American electorate will accept that foundation, can those who are injecting fraudulent ballots continue to operate with success.  Discussion of factual realities that contrast that “close election” narrative generate high-velocity interest.  This CBS segment discussing Nevada is one of those viral moments." At Am Think Vince Coyner thinks Ronald Reagan Was The Catalyst For The Democrat Cheating Machine. Mark Tapscott at Insty, on ILLEGALS VOTING: "Democrats and their media allies constantly claim voter fraud is a non-existent problem, but that’s not the view of experts interviewed by Ben Johnson of The Washington Stand. “’A 2014 academic journal found that 6.4 percent of noncitizens voted in 2008,’ Kerri Toloczko, executive director of Election Integrity Network and senior advisor to the Only Citizens Vote Coalition, told The Washington Stand. ‘There are about 24 million noncitizens in the U.S. right now. If they voted only at the same rate of 6.4 percent this year as they did in 2008, they would account for 1.5 million votes,’ Johnson reports."

Later, she blamed Israel for the death of American hostage Hirsch Goldberg-Polin, suggesting that he and other civilian hostages held for nearly a year by Hamas would be alive today if Israel had ended its defensive war."

Scott Johnson at Power Line, Turn the page: A comment  “Turning the page” is an Orwellian Harris campaign theme. Fight the power! Stick it to the man! Harris is the incumbent vice president of the United States. She represents the current administration, whose policies she supports in toto. Her campaign is run by Obama hands who want to serve up a fourth Obama term. She is the man, so to speak. War is peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is strength. Turn the page." Capt.

To do that, though, Harris will have to articulate the differences between her and Biden on policy, and ... she can't even articulate "price gouging" correctly."

At six years old, I was squarely in the middle between two older cousins (both boys), two younger brothers, and a younger cousin—again, a boy. Naturally, I wanted to be like everyone else in the family. I had grown into a vivacious tomboy who did not believe in dresses, hairbrushes, or pink. My mother understood this and knew what I meant when I said I “wanted to be a boy.” She did the only thing she could do: let me to grow out of my phase. Which I did. Mostly. 

Back in 2006, wanting to be a boy was harmless enough. Trans children were few and far between, and nobody’s political program functionally entailed the elimination of tomboys. Nowadays, a girl like me living in California might expect state intervention. It’s not impossible to imagine myself getting a medical transition against my parents’ wishes.

For parents in Montana, Indiana, and California, this horror has become reality. And soon the same nightmare may come for parents and children nationwide.

Capt. Ed adds,  Hunt observes that Democrats don't respect parental rights in the slightest, and urges Republicans to make this a key message in the election.

Dave Bernstein at Insty, " . . . Today, Senate Democrats (reluctantly) held a hearing on antisemitism and other forms of hate. As Ted Cruz was speaking, a protestor, apparently from Code Pink, came to the floor of the committee room and shouted, among other things “fucking Jews!” I only know about this because someone send me a private IM. No media outrage, no headlines or even coverage in the MSM, and of course, no ponderous essays about how the left has created a culture of hate. UPDATE: For that matter, if it was a right-wing type who had shouted “fucking Jews” today, and had interrupted a Democrat instead of Ted Cruz, we’d never hear the end of it."

For some values of "random", "celebrity" and "news." Bounding into Sports features Three U.S. Female Olympians Who Are Stealing The Show In 2024

Casey Kaufhold is only 20 years old, but she’s already made history as the first U.S. woman to rank as the world No. 1 in women’s recurve archery. That’s no small feat!

She made her Olympic debut at the Tokyo Games when she was just 17, and while she didn’t snag a medal then, she’s back with a vengeance now. Casey is a favorite for gold in Paris, and if she wins, she’ll be the first U.S. woman to win an individual archery medal since 1976. Talk about pressure!

Anita Alvarez, at 27, is no stranger to the Olympic stage. She’s heading to her third Olympics, bringing tons of experience and determination to the U.S. artistic swimming team.

Despite not medaling in her previous attempts, Anita’s resilience is something to admire.

With Russia out of the competition this year, there’s a golden opportunity for new champions to emerge. Anita is ready to seize it! Her dedication and passion for artistic swimming make her a standout athlete. We’re excited to see her shine in Paris.

 

Kelly Cheng – Beach Volleyball. Kelly Cheng is 28 and the only Team USA beach volleyball player with previous Olympic experience. She competed at the Tokyo Games with her former partner, Sarah Sponcil, but they were knocked out in the Round of 16. Now, Kelly is back with her old USC partner, Sara Hughes, and they’re ready to make waves on the beach.

These two won back-to-back national championships together in 2016 and 2017. More recently they took gold at the 2023 world championships in Mexico.

I haven't watched enough beach volleyball this year.  

Flotsam and Jetsam - Joe's 'Big Boy' Press Conference Goes About How You'd Expect

As scheduled, Joe Biden held what was billed as a "Big Boy" news conference, designed to show his superior policy chops over his competitor, Donald Trump. With a late start, presumably while they titrated his medication, it was 90 minutes long, with a long teleprompter speech, followed by questions from carefully chosen reporters, and likely planted questions at that. While not as awful as the debate, it was not the knockout solution to the questions of his aging that his campaign hoped. Some live stream comments at PJM, Biden Faces the Nation at Post-Nap Presser. Althouse, Let’s watch the Biden press conference. "Too much delay. It makes a bad impression. And we haven’t even seen him yet. . . I think he's doing reasonably well. . . He’s leapt over the low bar. This is the candidate. Deal with it, Democrats. . .  Whoa!
