Conclave 2025: All of the Smoke, None of the Brisket
Satchel replied to GopherRock's topic in Daily Texan
Bishop Robert Barron stated that the Catholic Church might not elect an American as pope until the US undergoes a period of political decline. His reasoning, echoing that of Cardinal George, suggests that the Church might avoid giving the papacy to a leader from a nation perceived as politically dominant, fearing the perception of control. I don’t think even he knew how prescient his comments were at the time he made them. Our political decline has been rapid and severe. -
Good grief: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6341165/2025/05/07/donald-trump-commission-on-college-athletics/ Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban and Texas Tech board of regents chairman Cody Campbell would co-chair the commission President Donald Trump is interested in forming to examine the long list of issues facing college sports, a source briefed on the plans told The Athletic. The source said Trump is expected to be “very engaged” with the commission because he sees the current state of college sports as an issue of national importance. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported Trump was interested in weighing in with an executive order after the president spoke last week with Saban, who has expressed concern that college sports is being harmed by the big money pouring into it to compensate athletes with little regulation. Yahoo Sports first reported Wednesday that Trump is planning to create a presidential commission to examine a long list of issues facing college sports, from booster-funded payments and transfer rules to conference alignment and Title IX. Campbell, who was elected chairman of the Texas Tech board of regents last month, is a former Red Raiders football player and one of the university’s most prominent donors. He is the co-founder and co-executive of Double Eagle Energy Holdings, an upstream oil and gas company based out of Fort Worth, Texas, which operates extensively in the Permian Basin region of West Texas. Campbell is also the co-founder of the Matador Club, an NIL collective that supports Texas Tech athletics, and he recently spearheaded the new $242 million south endzone project at Tech’s Jones AT&T Stadium, which overlooks Cody Campbell Field. In February, Double Eagle sold a development for $4.1 billion, and in 2021, the company sold a previous development for $6.4 billion. Last month, Double Eagle announced a continued and expanded partnership with EnCap Investments, a prominent private equity company that specializes in the oil and gas industry. Campbell is a board member of Texas Public Policy Foundation and a distinguished fellow at the America First Policy Institute, the latter which has been integral to President Trump’s second-term policy agenda. A presidential commission would typically dig into various aspects of an issue or enterprise and deliver a report suggesting possible solutions that could involve executive and legislative action. Earlier this month, Trump signed an executive order creating the Religious Liberty Commission.

It will be fascinating to watch the degree to which the willingness of billionaires from spend will destabilize the traditional blue blood pool of schools. Inarguably, they have gobs of money, but it is becoming increasingly clear that they don’t have all the money. SMU bought its way into the playoff and aren’t showing signs of retreat. BYU has surprised with its level of engagement. It will be interesting…

Why haven’t the media reported about this? The MAGAts must have a short memory because it wasn’t that long ago that they were celebrating Judge Kascmaryk’s attempt to enjoin the FDA’s approval of mifepristone: The No Rogue Rulings Act (H.R. 1526): This bill, authored by Rep. Issa, aims to restrict the scope of federal injunctions, particularly those issued by district court judges. Purpose: NORRA seeks to prevent a single district court judge from issuing nationwide injunctions that halt executive actions or challenge national policies. Rationale: Supporters argue that a single district court judge should not have the power to direct national policy. They believe that such power should be reserved for the democratically elected branches of government, Congress and the President. Impact: The bill would require a three-judge panel to issue a nationwide injunction in cases where two or more states in different judicial districts challenge an executive action. Potential for Stalemate: The bill is likely to face opposition in the Senate, where a Democratic filibuster could block it

Two Dallas-area cities have earned major bragging rights: Celina and Prosper, two boomtowns north of Dallas, are among the top three fastest growing affluent suburbs in the country. The cities' new affluent status was unveiled in a new GoBankingRates' study ranking the "30 Fastest-Growing Wealthy Suburbs in America" for 2025. The report examined population changes from 2018 to 2023 among cities and towns in major U.S. metro areas with populations between 25,000 and 100,000 residents. Median household income, average home value, and a "livability score" were also calculated for each locale. Celina came in at No 2 on the list, with Prosper following one slot behind at No. 3

The Georgians appear to be saner than most Texans: A new poll from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, conducted between April 15 and April 24 among 1,000 registered Georgia voters, found that voters preferred Ossoff over Greene by a 17-point margin—the largest gap in the survey—in a hypothetical race, with the Democrat getting 54 percent of the vote compared to 37 percent for the congresswoman. The result was largely driven by Greene's unpopularity with independents, 60 percent of whom said they would back Ossoff in a matchup, and moderate Republicans, with nearly 10 percent of Trump voters saying they would also back the incumbent. The same survey found that Republican Governor Brian Kemp was tops among possible GOP contenders, leading within the margin of error at 49 percent to Ossoff's 46 percent. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

I think I know what’s at work here: Latinos helped Trump win a second term but after 100 days in office, support in Texas border counties is eroding EAGLE PASS – President Trump's threatened tariffs, attacks on social programs and draconian immigration policies have unsettled many along the Texas-Mexico border, a region that jolted national voters in decidedly supporting his election. Traditionally Democratic and overwhelmingly Latino, border communities favored Trump in last November's election, giving him 12 of the Texas borderlands' 14 counties, up from just five in 2016. But now, at the psychologically crucial 100-day mark into Trump's 2nd term, that key support is showing cracks. Many worry that, beyond border security, the president's policies do not always align with the complex binational economic reality of cities from Brownsville to El Paso and beyond. Nowhere does that seem truer than here in Eagle Pass, seat of Maverick County, which in recent years became the epicenter of the migrant crush on the border, and state and federal efforts to contain it. On some days in the Fall of 2023, tiny Eagle Pass – population 26,000 – saw as many as 4,000 migrants each day. Residents remember the strangers among them, long lines at international bridges and numbers so big that trade and foot traffic, the lifeline of border communities, were halted so CBP could manage the spike in arrivals… …Texas accounted for $540 billion of the nearly $900 billion in U.S.-Mexico trade clocked last year, according to U.S. trade figures. Mark Jones, a Rice University political scientist, said strong support related to security persists for Trump across Texas and the borderland. Yet Jones notes signs of "erosion of support over more draconian efforts like the deportation of children, U.S. citizens," and deepening worries about Trump's trade policies. Those attitudes are consistent with a flurry of polls last week (April 21-25th) that show Trump's approval ratings sagging on most issues, except for border security. A Fox News poll shows 55% of respondents give him high marks on border security. Yet, only 38%approve of Trump on the economy, followed by just 33% on tariffs. "The more we see the impact on jobs and prices, the more you can expect that erosion to grow, especially along the border," Jones said. "Americans vote with their pocketbooks. Americans will always choose cheaper products over rhetoric." -
Judge permanently blocks ‘unconstitutional’ Trump order targeting law firm Perkins Coie https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/politics/perkins-coie-trump-executive-order A federal judge on Friday ruled that an executive order signed by President Donald Trump targeting a law firm that represented his 2016 presidential opponent was unconstitutional. US District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the executive order targeting Perkins Coie violated the First, Fifth and Sixth Amendments, calling it a “blunt exercise of power” that “is not a legitimate use of the powers of the U.S. government or an American President” “The U.S. Constitution affords critical protections against Executive action like that ordered in EO 1423,” Howell, referring to the executive order, wrote in her 100-plus page opinion. “Government officials, including the President, may not ‘subject … individuals to ‘retaliatory actions’ after the fact for having engaged in protected speech.’”
