  1. This is very grunting Bobby Burton There are only two recruits in the class of 2025 who are currently uncommitted that Texas continues to pursue: San Antonio Alamo Heights athlete Michael Terry and linebacker Madden Faraimo from Southern California. The rest are all currently committed elsewhere. So let’s talk about “the rest” for a second… Just three weeks ago, Texas had solid recruiting momentum, the snowball was definitely rolling downhill but it wasn’t overwhelming. But right now, I’m here to tell everyone that that snowball has become an absolute avalanche behind the scenes. Recruits are calling Texas, including a couple of national prospects on no one’s radar. Recruits are initiating contact just as much as Texas is doing the same. The conversations with previously targeted elite prospects, those committed elsewhere, are becoming longer and more productive. Visits, official and unofficial, are being set. And it’s not just in the class of 2025. Going on the road and beating Alabama and Michigan in back to back years, having a true Heisman candidate, making the college football playoff then coming back and being ranked No. 2 in the country, 11 NFL draft picks, NIL engagement, Sark and his recruiting staff’s style, those things are all contributing to this avalanche. I’ve seen this sort of momentum before, and not just at Texas. Remember, I’ve been covering recruiting for 30+ years professionally, so I’ve seen runs by other teams like Florida State (1990s), USC (2000s), Bama (2010s) and Georgia (2020s) during that time frame. Texas is absolutely headed in that same direction. The flood gates are about to open. That’s the feeling I get. There is no hotter team or program in college football than the Texas Longhorns.

  3. She started in the music business as a teenager, and has worked her ass off for 20 years to get where she is...she writes her own music, writes and directs her own videos (as she's gotten older), and shes fought back against unfairness in the music industry. Every night of her concent is akin to a super bowl for the local economy (this isn't hyperbole, there's been articles written about it), and she contacts a local charity in each city and donates a protion of the proceeds. There are literally non profits who have employees who's job it is to try and solicit to be that charity for Taylor Swifts concert visits. Her songwriting has gone from typical teen shit to actual smart, introspective shit for an adult. She's a billionaire, a real one, she doens't seem all that concerned about her finances. You can say it's not healthy for people being obsessed, but people were fucking obsessed with The Beetles, and with Elvis. Shes a great role model for women. Helobious is dumb. The whole "flip flopping" on issues thing. It's always a gotcha in politics, and I don't understand why people don't fucking respond with the obvious. "Why have I changed my stance? Becuase I'm an intelligent leader and I change my opinions when I get new information. Do you prefer leaders who don't learn, and change with the times as is necessary?" "When you were a senator in CA, you advocated for...." "Yeah, When I was a Senator in CA I was advocating for the views of my constituents. As the President of the United States, everyone is my contituent, and I have to govern for all people, not just the views of my poltical party."

  4. I am confused by a few things in this post. I will go over them individually. It bothers me that she did better than people expected her to. I wonder what motivates that thought? She is a career courtroom lawyer performing in what is almost a courtroom setting. The studying and prep. The strategy to rattle the opponent or witness. Selling herself to the American people or jury. I have been saying she is going to wipe the floor with him and she did exactly what I expected her to. This isn't a politician with a law degree, this is a lawyer turned politician. No one should be surprised. "I can't believe Quinn Ewers threw a football", is what this equates to. What was ABC supposed to do when Trump stated people were eating animals, killing babies post birth, and saying the election was stolen from him? The Charlottesville comments were dog-whistling, and I am an expert on that because that technique was built on the backs of black people like me. But if you need proof of those comments being dog-whistles look at what happened shortly thereafter. All the Supremacist groups immediately joined MAGA and have remained with him ever since. That is all you need to know. Since then he has made many other comments including his direct orders to the Proud Boys. Now onto this project 2025 thing. It is not hard to attach Trump to project 2025 if you took the time to crack it's pages. Here are things Trump has done, tried to do, or talked about doing that align with the plans in Project 2025. Turning over Roe Mass Deportation of Illegals Eliminating the Dept of Education Eliminating subsidies for electric vehicles Attacking DEI Pulling out of the Paris Accords Still not convinced yet? Trump said he knows nothing about project 2025 and doesn't know anyone over there. 140 Trump advisors and aides had a hand in writing it. JD Vance wrote the forward. Here is a picture of Trump on a plane with Kevin Roberts, the author of Project 2025. There are other pics if you just took the time to look. Still not convinced? Here is hidden video some journalists did where Russell Vought, co-author of Project 2025 is explaining Trump distancing himself from it. Still not convinced? Here is Trump talking about how the good people at The Heritage Foundation have a detailed plan for how they are going to go forward(video on the right}. He doesn't name it by name but you know what this means right? So now we have the alignment of Trump policies. Many people from Trump's camp involved in the writing. His VP candidate writing the forward. Pictures of him meeting the author. The other author telling you why Trump is distancing himself from the project UNTIL they get in office. Then finally Trump praising the Heritage Foundation for its detailed plan for the future. If you STILL are trying to say he doesn't know anything about it you are simply a bad actor and flat out MAGA. We see you no matter how hard you try to "both sides".

  6. That is uncut dope right there. Holy shit. There are several shocking things that they’re hoping to pull off. Hopefully certain fatasses and gasbags with gambling problems can either be kept in the dark or just keep their fat fucking mouths shut. Spit the ball gag out and get a fucking grip.

  10. Yeah, ok. He just implements most of the Heritage Foundation's policies, the vast majority of the people involved in Project 2025 served in his last adminstration (here's a second link if you want to confirm), Vance wrote the foreword for their book, Trump's name is all over Project 2025, but sure, other than that, he has nothing to do with it.

  13. Apparently, these same guys destroyed a cell tower earlier in the week for 30k of rubles. Honestly, with Russia employing a predominantly mercenary army, this may be one of the most cost effective ways to put this to an end, start covertly paying them to destroy any and all equipment.

  14. Gotta give to Aiden's father for this. It's a shit deal his kid was killed in accident, but not allowing them to pervert or dishonor his memory is a great thing.

  15. Possibly interesting data point from the WP: After Taylor Swift endorsed Harris, encouraging her fans to register to vote, Google recorded a surge in people wanting to register to vote. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/11/taylor-swift-endorses-searches-voter-registration-jump/
