A wide aerial view of a Crystal Palace sports complex surrounded by green parkland. On the left is a circular athletics stadium with a red running track; in the centre are outdoor pools and open areas under construction; and on the right is a long rectangular building with a glass roof beside football pitches. The scene extends to a distant city skyline with a tall broadcast tower rising above the trees.
A ground‑level view of a large sports and leisure complex with open plazas and pathways. In the foreground, people move through a circular outdoor area with seating, planting beds, and play structures. To the left is a stadium with tiered seating and tall floodlights. To the right is a modern building with large windows and a slatted exterior. Trees surround the site, with a tall broadcast tower visible in the distance under a bright sky.
View from the stands of a packed athletics stadium during a track‑and‑field event. Spectators fill the seating areas in the foreground and along both sides of the track. The red running track curves around a large green field where athletes and officials are preparing for events. Various equipment stations and signage are set up around the track. Trees surround the stadium, and a tall broadcast tower rises in the distance under a bright sky with scattered clouds.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
Hegseth drove himself this morning, I see
