Which Species Of Bear Is The Largest On Earth&;#63;

Which Species Of Bear Is The Largest On Earth&;#63;

When it comes to the question of which species of bear is the largest on the planet‚ the answer may seem obvious to some. The polar bear is clearly the winner of this competition if we are going by a species-to-species comparison‚ but the situation becomes less clear if we expand the category to include sub-species‚ such as the Kodiak bear.There is also the issue with terminology. How do we define the “largest” in this context&;#63; Do we go with the average weight or height across the species‚ or do we consider the largest individual specimens ever recorded&;#63; These points are all contestable‚ but here are the profiles for each of these two heavyweight contenders.Polar bears (Ursus maritimus)In one corner‚ we have the polar bear. It is not only recognized as the largest overall species of bear but is also the largest terrestrial carnivore in the world. They have no natural predators and have adapted to survive in the frozen arctic climate where they live off seals‚ small walruses‚ and even whales.Adult male polar bears are massive‚ they can grow between 2.1-2.7 meters (7-9 feet) in length and reach a height of 1.5 meters (5 feet) at their shoulders. Males can also reach weights that range between 362-590 kilograms (800-1‚300 pounds). This is weighty indeed‚ but the heaviest specimen on record was estimated to be between 900-1‚000 kilograms (1‚984 and 2‚210 pounds)‚ depending on the source. This monstrous bear was unfortunately shot in the Chukchi Sea‚ west of Kotzebue‚ Alaska‚ in 1960.Females are much smaller than males‚ sometimes half their size‚ and weigh between 150-295 kilograms (330-650 pounds).Kodiak bears (Ursus arctos middendorffi)In the other corner‚ we have Kodiak bears‚ a sub-species of the brown bear. These large bears only exist on the Kodiak Archipelago in Alaska. There are around 3‚500 Kodiak bears on the archipelago‚ and they have similar diets to grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) – a mix of salmon‚ berries‚ rodents‚ carrion‚ roots‚ and grasses.It is believed that these bears diverged from their brown bear relatives around 12‚000 years ago and they have now developed some distinct morphological traits. This includes being larger and stockier than their counterparts.As with polar bears‚ they are sexually dimorphic‚ meaning males tend to be larger than females. They can reach sizes between 0.9 and 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) at the shoulder and reach up to 3 meters (10 feet) in length.   Kodiak bears‚ like other coastal brown bears‚ can weigh twice as much as their grizzly cousins. Adult males can weigh between 272-635 kilograms (600-1‚400 pounds)‚ while females can reach 136-318 kilograms (300-700 pounds).The largest ever recorded Kodiak bear‚ aptly named Goliath‚ was apparently just as heavy‚ if not heavier than‚ the largest polar bear on record. This specimen‚ which lived at the Space Farms Zoo in Sussex‚ New Jersey‚ in the early 1980s‚ was said to have been over 900 kilograms (1‚984 pounds) in his prime. Though again‚ the exact weight varies between sources.Who wins&;#63; Both&;#63; As you can see‚ the title for which bear is the largest in the world is difficult to decide based on these comparisons. This is also made more complex when you factor in seasonal changes‚ whereby a bear’s weight will be significantly lower in the spring than in the fall‚ when they are preparing to hibernate again. Anyone who has ever taken notice of Fat Bear Week will know how dramatic the differences here can be.We may also see less weighty polar bears going forward as their species continues to struggle with habitat loss as a result of climate change. The progressive loss of ice has seriously impacted their ability to hunt.As such‚ it seems the title of which bear is the largest remains an open question. It is probably best to say they draw as both polar bears and Kodiak bears are enormous creatures‚ and both are worthy of the title. I mean‚ would you want to fight with either of them over it&;#63;[H/T: Library of Congress]

Colbert Twists Sources To Spread Hysteria About Snipers At Colleges

Stephen Colbert spread hysteria about the anti-Israel encampments on college campuses on Tuesday’s edition of The Late Show on CBS. Making matters much worse is that Colbert took his own sources out of context in order to make his claims. First‚ however‚ Colbert had to set the scene‚ “The protests ramped up a couple of weeks ago‚ after students erected tents on Columbia University's main lawn to show solidarity with Gaza.” After being interrupted by applause from the audience‚ he continued‚ “and the university president took the controversial step of calling in the police to arrest those involved. Now‚ even if you don't agree with the subject of their protests as long as they are peaceful‚ students should be allowed to protest. It's their First Amendment right.”     You do not have a First Amendment right to illegal trespass. You cannot walk into the Ed Sullivan Theater. pitch a tent‚ and claim that is your new home until CBS meets your demands. Colbert would concede at the end “that overnight‚ protestors at Columbia broke into a campus building.” Still‚ he claimed “That is the kind of idealism you learn in college‚ it's one of the few college lessons you can use your whole life‚ unlike beer funneling‚ which you stop being able to do around 35‚ when your wife catches you.” Colbert wants to pretend that the demonstrators are simple peace activists and not anti-Semitic‚ but before you could tell him what groups like Students for Justice in Palestine really believe‚ he continued‚ “’Photos online show police snipers set up on the roofs of buildings at Ohio State University and Indiana University.’” When doing his monologue‚ Colbert will talk over screenshots of his sources. That last quote came from a Snopes article‚ but here is the full quote‚ “Two photographs circulated online in posts claiming that state police snipers had set up on the roofs of buildings at Ohio State University and Indiana University.” It also reads‚ “The OSU newspaper The Lantern reported that the people on the roof of the OSU building were initially using spotting scopes to watch protesters‚ but switched to rifles once arrests began on the green space below.” Colbert continued‚ “although ‘the Ohio State University administration stated that these were state police officers… which the school also employs during football games.’ &;quot;’What are you worrying about‚ students&;#63; The snipers are always there. For football games‚ women's volleyball‚ an acapella.’” The part of the Intelligencer article that Colbert’s ellipse took out was‚ “Ohio State administration stated that these were state police officers working as spotters‚ which the school also employs during football games.” Snopes also reported that at the time the videos went viral‚ there were no snipers at Ohio State (they never confirmed or disproved the Indiana claim)‚ but after arrests began‚ “the two people on the roof had indeed switched to &;quot;long-range firearms as part of their protocol.&;quot;  Colbert spread fake news about the timing of the snipers‚ he fed into the hysteria that implied that law enforcement that provides security for large crowd events has itchy trigger fingers‚ and he took his sources out of context to do it. Here is a transcript for the April 30 show: CBS The Late Show 4/30/2024 11:41 PM ET STEPHEN COLBERT: The protests ramped up a couple of weeks ago‚ after students erected tents on Columbia University's main lawn to show solidarity with Gaza‚ and the university president took the controversial step of calling in the police to arrest those involved. Now‚ even if you don't agree with the subject of their protests as long as they are peaceful‚ students should be allowed to protest. It's their First Amendment right. That is the kind of idealism you learn in college‚ it's one of the few college lessons you can use your whole life‚ unlike beer funneling‚ which you stop being able to do around 35‚ when your wife catches you.  And it's not just at Columbia. Yesterday‚ cops arrested at least 100 protestors at UT Austin. This morning‚ they arrested at least 30 protestors at UNC Chapel Hill. Yes‚ college administrators are using the classic de-escalation tactic of sending in heavily armed police and threatening to call the National Guard. Photos online show police snipers set up on the roofs of buildings at Ohio State university and Indiana University‚ although the Ohio State University administration stated that these were state police officers … which the school also employs during football games &;quot;What are you worrying about‚ students&;#63; The snipers are always there. For football games‚ women's volleyball‚ an acapella. You've been warned‚ guy who goes &;quot;Sha-doop shooby Doop.&;quot; Buy a guitar&;#33;&;quot; Now‚ tensions right now are so high that overnight‚ protestors at Columbia broke into a campus building‚ which probably will not help their cause with the public.

Democrats have become the most powerful minority in congressional history

Welcome to the second edition of my twice-weekly newsletter. We're still checking some boxes before we unveil the name‚ but in the meantime I hope you enjoy‚ and tell your friends to subscribe&;#33; (Even the haters and losers.) Sincerely‚ Christopher Bedford Congress returned to Washington this week a changed body. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) had long struggled with a slim majority (whining about it is among his favorite party tricks)‚ but after the foreign aid bill‚ he is now effectively the head of a center-left coalition — one that’s promised to protect him from being ousted by his own colleagues. The irony is the deal has left him more secure in his job than he was at the start of April‚ but also less powerful. Meanwhile‚ far from complaining about razor-thin margins‚ Democrats have managed to turn out what may be the most powerful minority in congressional history. Johnson is more secure in his job because he has the Democrats’ promised support for his leadership. Job security is his reward‚ after forcing his party and voters’ border security demands aside to pass the foreign aid bill. It’s unseemly‚ yes‚ and no one has any memory of such a public display of uniparty power‚ but it’s also reality. Meanwhile‚ Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Thomas Massie’s (R-Ky.) effort to oust him‚ expected as soon as Wednesday‚ is doomed (and could prove disastrous). If it was going to succeed‚ the Ukraine-aid fight was the moment. If they move forward now‚ while it’s virtually guaranteed to gain Republican votes‚ it’s also virtually guaranteed to fail — and likely further empower the Democrat minority. First‚ some background: Although she remains fairly popular with the base‚ Greene is somewhat isolated in Congress‚ where she frayed relationships with liberal Republicans thanks to her conservative stances‚ burned bridges with conservative Republicans to curry favor with then-Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)‚ and then was left adrift after his ouster. Popularity contests aside‚ Freedom Caucus members know the likeliest current alternative to Johnson is Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.)‚ whom they view as craftier — and therefore potentially more dangerous — than the relative novice strategist currently holding the gavel. Most importantly‚ Democrats understand a weaker speaker plays into their hand and are eager to see it happen. Over the past few days‚ they’ve goaded Greene into making the motion in the Playbook newsletter‚ in the morning Punchbowl newsletter‚ and in the pages of the New York Times. “Mike Johnson doesn’t need too many Democratic friends‚” Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) told the Times. “[Greene] is one of the best things the speaker has going for him because so many people find her insufferable.” Democrats know they have the votes to table Greene’s motion to vacate‚ stopping it procedurally before it even comes to a vote (and thereby saving themselves with their own voters from having to cast an actual vote for the ostensibly Republican speaker). This means Johnson would survive even if every member of the Freedom Caucus were to join Greene and vote against him. While 40 or so Republican no votes won’t topple Johnson‚ they would publicly guarantee a real leadership challenge in January. Until then‚ the speaker could rest easy with his new pals. The question‚ then‚ is what Johnson can accomplish with this new center-left coalition government. Much of the remainder of the House’s calendar is filled with messaging votes for the 2024 election‚ including the speaker’s new initiative of punishing elite universities for on-campus anti-Semitism. Most of the 112 Republicans who voted against his Ukraine bill will return to the fold for those. Even the roughly three dozen conservative Freedom Caucus members most likely to force Johnson to dance with the dates he brought aren’t going to break on those sorts of votes. While personal and professional grudges can go a long way in Washington‚ it isn’t a good look to stand in the way of campaign messaging bills; it doesn’t matter that even the anti-Semitism effort won’t get a hearing in Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) Senate. The real fight brewing is the 2025 budget. Johnson’s new Democratic friends will be eager to load an omnibus up with earmarks that will hamstring any future potential Trump administration‚ and Republican hawks are eager to help so long as they get more money for Ukraine and other war projects. That sort of move would hobble former President Donald Trump’s first year in office‚ were he to win in November. With Johnson currently working overtime to show how close he is with the former president‚ Trump will be in a strong position to exert pressure to stop an omnibus from happening‚ should he choose to use political capital this way. Currently‚ however‚ he’s bogged down between Democrats’ lawfare and his need to campaign and raise money. If Democrats manage to further poison relations between conservative and liberal Republicans‚ it will play well to the omnibus crowd. No matter what happens‚ the uniparty is the new normal. It’s just a matter of degree. IN OTHER NEWS Democrat judge gives Trump fine over gag order‚ threatens jail time. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan fined Trump the maximum allowed for nine violations of the gag order he imposed but worried the $1‚000-an-incident max under state law was not high enough to deter the wealthy candidate. Merchan threatened jail time for future offenses. At the same time‚ Merchan walked back threats to keep Trump in court during his son’s high school graduation. While Merchan’s jail threat ups the ante and‚ if followed through‚ would fulfill a left-wing dream‚ thus far‚ Trump has benefited from Democratic lawfare overreach. His Georgia mug shot was a fundraising bonanza‚ and the imagery has entered popular culture. Blaze News: Trump trial: Judge rules on alleged gag order violations‚ witnesses discuss Michael Cohen's payment to Stormy Daniels ‘Columbia students invaded a campus hall overnight‚ barricading the doors and hanging an Intifada banner.’ Far from calming down‚ the situation on American campuses is growing worse‚ with liberal and Democratic calls for peace and order ignored and flouted by mobs of protesters‚ squatters‚ and masked vandals. The White House has struggled to deal with the political ramifications‚ afraid of taking sides in what’s shaping up to be a Democratic Party civil war that will play out in the streets outside the Democratic National Convention in August. Chicago‚ of course‚ was the scene of the disastrous 1968 convention‚ which was beset with running street battles between police and anti-Vietnam War protesters. Meanwhile‚ House Republicans are planning moves to deny public funding to universities allowing pro-Hamas mobs free rein. The vote likely won’t be entertained in the Democrat-controlled Senate but will add to the Democrats’ heartburn in November. Blaze News: Pro-Palestinian protesters take over Columbia University academic building; officials close all school entry gates except one Free Beacon: Columbia Students Storm University Building and Hoist Banner Calling for 'Intifada' Steven Spielberg rushes to White House’s messaging rescue The legendary director is reportedly in early collaboration with the Democratic Party on planning what could be a disastrous Democratic National Convention. Spielberg is a longtime partisan Democrat. During the 2012 election‚ he held the release of his movie “Lincoln” until after the November election. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president and is a hero of both the country and the abolitionist movement. After President Barack Obama was re-elected‚ Spielberg met with him to help plan a “narrative” for his post-presidency. Messaging has taken precedence over substance in almost every aspect of this administration‚ with proponents often blaming bad polling not on bad policy but on bad communication. While the president last week signed a bill forcing TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company‚ the White House has repeatedly collaborated with TikTok influencers to reach a young audience. This weekend‚ TikTok influencer and OnlyFans porn star Farha Khalidi claimed the White House paid her to push &;quot;full on political propaganda&;quot; without disclosing that it was an advertisement‚ since “technically it's not a product.” Rewind to 2015 — MarketWatch: Steven Spielberg is helping Obama develop a post-White House ‘narrative’ Puck: Spielberg’s Biden Project ZeroHedge: &;quot;Do Not Disclose This Is An Ad&;quot;: OnlyFans Creator Says Biden Admin Paid For &;quot;Full On Political Propaganda” The fire rises: ‘General principles for resolving the campus takeovers sweeping America‚’ Conundrum Cluster Conundrum Cluster is a Substack largely devoted to how communists succeeded‚ and how they were defeated‚ in the 20th century. Much of the content is historical‚ but a century on and once again beset by violent left-wing mobs‚ there are valuable lessons to glean. The latest post looks at the mobs forming on college campuses — and the apolitical clarity necessary to maintain order. “The issue at hand does not matter. Do not talk about whatever leftists are talking about. If you do this‚ you are allowing them to set and ultimately control the conversation. Antisemitism isn’t illegal. Protesting Israel isn’t illegal. This is not about Jews or Palestine or whatever. If you make your objection viewpoint-specific‚ you’re going to alienate not only moderates who might agree (at least abstractly) with the protests‚ but also anyone who is concerned with fairness. Conservatives are generally good-natured and fair people. They want an orderly society that’s governed by clear rules. ... “If you look at the leaders of the protests on campus‚ these are clearly not people who you can work with. So‚ we’ve established that this is not personal or political. No one cares about what you’re saying. They’re not going to argue why you’re wrong or concede that ‘maybe you have a point even if I don’t like what you’re doing.’ That’s all irrelevant‚ what really matters is the behavior. Schools are for learning‚ not for whatever your political cause of the day is. Most students are not participants in these protests. It’s only a small minority who really feel passionately either way. Students have a right to an education and to enjoy a campus free of obnoxious behavior. “Schools must make clear rules for student conduct that forbid vandalism‚ camping‚ demonstrating outside of approved zones‚ obstructing public areas‚ loud disruptions‚ and any other kind of behavior where‚ if it were to be caught on video‚ people could clearly articulate what was really at issue. Make this widely known. Posters‚ public announcements‚ emails‚ etc. It should never be mysterious what the rules of the road are on campus ...” Read more from Conundrum Cluster at Blaze News: “Political change in an era of massive psychic damage.”

NYPD breach occupied Columbia University building and arrest around 100 Hamas-endorsed students

Pro-Hamas students at Columbia University received a well-earned civics lesson Tuesday evening from New York City's finest. Hamas-endorsed radicals illegally camped outside Columbia University for more than a week‚ regurgitating genocidal rhetoric and demanding the institution divest from Israel. The administration set multiple deadlines that went unheeded‚ then finally gave the radicals an ultimatum Monday: Leave the encampment by 2 p.m. or face suspension. This ultimatum also fell on deaf ears. The radicals opted instead to seize the university's Hamilton Hall just as their leftist forebears had 58 years earlier in protest of America's military action against mass-murdering communists in southeast Asia. Minouche Shafik‚ the president of the university‚ noted in a Wednesday letter to the New York Police Department that the illegal occupation was made possible by an individual who &;quot;hid in the building until after it closed and let the other individuals in.&;quot; The keffiyeh-adorned radicals reportedly ransacked the interior — busting doors and windows‚ destroying furniture and blockading entrances — while representatives of the anti-Israel radicals issued demands outside‚ suggesting that keeping the hall's illegal occupiers' stomachs from grumbling was the university's responsibility and amounted to &;quot;basic humanitarian aid.&;quot; Shafik ultimately pleaded for the NYPD to intervene‚ stressing that the &;quot;takeover of Hamilton Hall and the continued encampments raise serious safety concerns for the individuals involved and the entire community.&;quot; Shafik also suggested that &;quot;the actions of these individuals are unfortunately escalating.&;quot; Around 6 p.m.‚ Mayor Eric Adams implored the radicals to &;quot;leave the area and to leave the area now.&;quot; Adams suggested further that &;quot;professional outside agitators&;quot; had a hand in the illegal takeover. The terrorist-supported radicals ignored the mayor's request just as they had ignored the university's earlier requests. Tuesday‚ on the eve of leftists' beloved May Day‚ the NYPD obliged the university president to the chagrin of Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.). Happening Now: Many more NYPD marching towards Columbia. — (@) #BREAKING Police MOVE IN TO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY‚ Raid has begun. — (@) As police made their way to Hamilton Hall en masse‚ Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine — among the student groups referred to as &;quot;ours&;quot; by the Gaza-based terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine — called for escalations‚ writing‚ &;quot;ALL OUT TO COLUMBIA&;#33; DEFEND THE ENCAMPMENTS&;#33; FROM THE WALLS TO THE GATES‚ IT IS TIME TO ESCALATE&;#33; #Escalate4Gaza.&;quot; While the radicals prepared for the confrontation‚ Columbia faculty members preemptively denounced the police. A statement attributed to the Columbia University Chapter of the American Association of University Professors‚ shared online by leftist professor Joseph Howley‚ said‚ &;quot;NYPD presence in our neighborhood endangers our entire community. Armed police entering our campus places students and everyone else on campus at risk.&;quot; The university indicated in a statement obtained by WABC-TV that the NYPD arrived on campus around 9 p.m.‚ which was crowded with leftists chanting anti-police and anti-Israel slogans. \u201cNYPD. KKK.\u201d — (@) Police were initially unable to enter the building on account of the barricades. The New York Post reported that several leftists stood on the inside of the doorway taunting officers while fellow travelers outside chanted‚ &;quot;Pigs&;#33;&;quot; Around 9:30 p.m.‚ police drove their Mobile Adjustable Ramp System vehicle up to the building‚ affording a column of around 30 armored riot officers equipped with zip-tie handcuffs a second-story window into the building. Police successfully climbed into the building‚ then made quick work out of the radicals inside with the aid of four distraction devices‚ which apparently went off with a bang. — (@) According to the New York Times‚ at least 108 student radicals were arrested. \ud83d\udea8\ud835\uddd5\ud835\udde5\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddd4\ud835\uddde\ud835\udddc\ud835\udde1\ud835\uddda - The NYPD have begun arresting protestors and agitators at Columbia University.\n\nTactical units have also entered to clear out portions of the campus that have been barricaded. — (@) In addition to dragging out the radicals who seized and vandalized Hamilton Hall‚ police also dealt with the anti-Israel encampment on the university's West Lawn‚ reported the Times. Officers searched the hundreds of tents and flushed out the remaining radicals. NYPD clash with Columbia protesters‚ making dozens of arrests and clearing the entire encampment in 2 hours. \n\nHundreds of officers in riot gear swiftly removed all of the students and protesters who had been encamped on the campus for 2 weeks. \n\nOver 100 arrests. — (@) Assistant Commissioner Carlos Nieves indicated that the &;quot;people that were in the encampment are now gone‚&;quot; reported the Post. Protesters cheered on the blubbering arrestees as they were bused off campus. Police reportedly indicated ahead of taking action Tuesday that the Hamilton Hall occupiers would be charged with third-degree burglary‚ trespassing‚ and criminal mischief. Those illegally camped outside would be slapped with trespassing and disorderly conduct charges. Police clash started because a van filled with arrested students was exiting the perimeter. — (@) Following the successful counter-extremism operation‚ Shafik said in a statement‚ &;quot;We regret that protesters have chosen to escalate the situation through their actions. After the University learned overnight that Hamilton Hall had been occupied‚ vandalized‚ and blockaded‚ we were left with no choice. Columbia public safety personnel were forced out of the building‚ and a member of our facilities team was threatened. We will not risk the safety of our community or the potential for further escalation.&;quot; The university has requested that NYPD maintain a presence on campus until May 17 to &;quot;maintain order and ensure encampments are not reestablished.&;quot; Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

'You can't say anything': WNBA vet says Caitlin Clark fans are 'really sensitive' after backlash over critical comments

WNBA player Diana Taurasi doubled down on comments about Caitlin Clark ahead of her first season in the WNBA‚ calling her fans sensitive after they seemingly lashed out over some critical comments.Taurasi is a three-time WNBA champion and has played in the league since 2004. In early April‚ she gave a warning to Clark ahead of the WNBA draft‚ telling her that she would face much tougher competition once she turned professional.&;quot;Reality is coming‚&;quot; she said on April 6‚ 2024. &;quot;You see it on the NBA side‚ and you’re going to see it on this side. You look superhuman playing against 18-year-olds‚ but you're going to come play with some grown women that have been playing professional basketball for a long time.&;quot;&;quot;There is gonna be a transition period where you're going to have to give yourself some grace as a rookie‚&;quot; Taurasi added. Diana Taurasi on Caitlin Clark coming to WNBA &;quot;Reality is coming....you look superhuman playing against some 18 years olds but you're going to come play with some grown women that have been playing professional basketball for a long time&;quot; — (@) The veteran player's slightly inflammatory comments were completely reasonable and reflective of the reality of the transition between college athletics and nearly every professional sports league.Clark supporters‚ however‚ were not happy with the 41-year-old's remarks:&;quot;Translation: I'm kind of pissed that I've been doing this for decades in 3/4 empty arenas and you come along and sell out games before you're even in the league‚&;quot; a fan wrote.&;quot;She's already scared‚&;quot; another chimed in.&;quot;I know it's jealousy but do you know how ugly (inside) this makes you look&;#63;&;quot; a disappointed X user said.Weeks later‚ Taurasi responded to the backlash by calling her detractors sensitive‚ denying that she said any falsehoods.&;quot;The new fans are really sensitive these days and you can't say anything‚&;quot; Taurasi claimed. &;quot;It's kind of like when you go from kindergarten to first grade there's a learning adjustment‚ when you go from high school to college there's a learning adjustment. I don't think I said anything that wasn't factually correct.&;quot;At the same time‚ the Phoenix Mercury player sprinkled some praise for Clark into her latest comments.&;quot;Greatness is going to translate and she's proven that in every level. I don't see that being any different in the WNBA.&;quot; #Mercury Diana Taurasi on Caitlin Clark coming into #wnba — (@) Taurasi's Phoenix team — which features former Russian prisoner Brittney Griner — will play Clark's Indiana Fever on June 30‚ 2024.
