  5. So, what did the drug fiend learn at the Pentagon? Elon Musk holds unprecedented Pentagon talks, wants leakers prosecuted: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elon-musk-calls-prosecutions-pentagon-staff-who-leaked-new-york-times-2025-03-21/ Musk holds high-level meeting with Pentagon Tesla CEO urges prosecution for Pentagon leakers Trump and Musk deny press report on China war plans briefing WASHINGTON, March 21 (Reuters) - Billionaire Elon Musk took his campaign to cut the U.S. federal government into uncharted waters on Friday, holding an unprecedented top-level meeting at the Pentagon and calling for the prosecution of any Defense Department officials leaking "maliciously false information" about his visit. Musk, whose businesses have a number of Defense Department contracts, met U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for 80 minutes in his first such talks at the Pentagon, which is responsible for a large chunk of federal government spending. It was unclear whether U.S. generals joined that meeting virtually.
  6.

  7. These voters were told that Kamala was for “they/them” - and that Trump was for these voters. What we’re witnessing is their shock and surprise at finding out that they’re they/them too.
  8. Trump administration ends "segregated facilities" ban in federal contracts https://www.axios.com/2025/03/18/trump-end-segregated-facilities-ban-contracts The Trump administration has announced the federal government will no longer unequivocally prohibit contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms and drinking fountains. Why it matters: The change announced last month in an overlookedpublic memo is a symbolic move, first reported by NPR, and comes after President Trump revoked President Lyndon Johnson's decades-old order diversity and affirmative action practices in the federal government. The big picture: The Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as many state laws, still makes segregated facilities illegal in all businesses, including federal contractors. Yes, but: Critics say the recent change sends a message about the government's priorities and potentially eliminates a crucial enforcement tool. The change follows the Trump administration's reinterpretation of Civil Rights-era laws to focus on "anti-white racism," rather than discrimination against people of color. Zoom in: A public memo the General Services Administration issued said the change was needed after Trump revoked LBJ's 60-year-old executive order requiring federal contractors to refrain from employment discrimination. The memo also addresses Trump's executive order on gender identity. A clause in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) said contractors can't "maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities." The memo stated that when issuing new solicitations or contracts, agencies could no longer include the clause about the "Prohibition of Segregated Facilities." FAR defined segregated facilities as work areas, restaurants, drinking fountains, transportation, housing and others
  9. If Texas continues to be concerned with how the press and other outsiders might view a basketball hire, if said hire is consistent with the Texas brand, or if it is a grand enough hire, then it’s has the potential to be a recurring situation. If a smart, young coach, has a demonstrated ability to construct a roster in an unstable environment, to lead that roster through the required forming, storming, norm ing and performing in short order, and then coach that roster to sustained success, that coach deserves serious consideration and should not be dismissed out of hand because he’s not a household name.
  10. And a St. John billionaire has announced he will buy Rick all the players he wants
  11. True. Keep thinking inside that box, Texas.
  12. Whatever fallout that may have occurred would be long forgotten by now as Texas was would be getting ready for its top 3 seed appearance in the tourney with a McCasland coached team.
  13. There will always be intricacies in coaching searches and hires. McCasland was there for the taking.
  14. It’s gonna happen. Trust. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2025/02/24/private-equity-is-set-to-revolutionize-college-athletics/ Private equity will invest in college sports, but initial efforts may target a small number of elite college football programs. These programs are likely to adopt innovative legal and governance structures to navigate current uncertainties. As these models succeed, other schools will need to adapt to remain competitive, potentially paving the way for broader private investment opportunities. Over time, private equity is positioned to fundamentally reshape college sports.
  15. If Texas had hired Grant McCasland in March of 2023, there would be no need for this thread.
  16. Setting the bigotry and ignorance aside, this is just rank stupidity and silliness:
  17. Trump and his people rode the victim train all the way to the White House.
  18. Single-family home prices have risen by 47.1% since 2020, and the average cost to rent a single family home has increased by 30%. This is in large part due to private equity's growing influence in the housing market.Aug 12, 2024 https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2024/03/15/gov-abbott-takes-aim-at-investors-hounding-single-family-market/ The WallStreetApes post said “new reports show economists have been lying to all of us about the rate financial firms have been buying up all single-family homes.” It continued by saying in 2023, private equity firms purchased 44% of all single-family homes in America. It said that “means death for our middle class.” Private equity firms are again expected to buy another 44% of single-family homes in 2024, according to the post. By 2030, private equity firms would own 60% of all homes in the U.S., it said.
  19. This bears repeating: https://www.yahoo.com/news/texas-bill-increase-oversight-universities-222919953.html State lawmakers introduced on Thursday sweeping legislation that would create a new office to police higher education institutions, currently under fire by conservatives who claim they are not complying with a statewide ban on diversity, equity and inclusion programs. The bill also proposes giving universities’ governing boards more power to hire administrators and oversee curricula. The boards have traditionally allowed the institutions they oversee to manage some of those affairs in the spirit of respecting their academic independence. Senate Bill 37 would create an Office of Excellence in Higher Education within the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The new office, led by a governor appointee, would be responsible for investigating claims that universities and colleges have broken state laws or their own policies.
  20. Is anybody paying attention? “Israel warns more to come as airstrikes kill over 400 in Gaza after two months of truce” https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-military-conducts-strikes-hamas-targets-gaza-army-says-2025-03-18/
  21. Sadly, Trumpists will repeat that stupid claim.
  22. Who Employs Your Doctor? Increasingly, a Private Equity Firm. A new study finds that private equity firms own more than half of all specialists in certain U.S. markets. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/10/upshot/private-equity-doctors-offices.html
