  1. Good head coaches have to start somewhere says Scott Drew.
  2. Seems to me, if the Texas brain trusts were too concerned with the racial optics, they should have done their due diligence and hired the better coach in Jerome Tang.
  3. In the words of the candidate favored by evangelical Christians in Iowa, get over it.
  4. Texas "physically barred" feds from trying to rescue migrants who drowned, officials say A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande on Friday while trying to enter the U.S. near a section of the southern border where Texas National Guard soldiers have prevented federal Border Patrol agents from processing and rescuing migrants. Federal officials and a Texas congressman said National Guard soldiers deployed by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did not allow Border Patrol agents to attempt to rescue the migrants. Earlier this week, Texas National Guard soldiers abruptly seized control of a public park in Eagle Pass that Border Patrol had been using to hold migrants, marking the latest escalation in an intensifying political and legal feud between Abbott and President Biden over U.S. border policy. https://www.yahoo.com/news/3-migrants-drown-near-area-020700052.html
  5. While Republican politicians shamelessly lie about “open borders”, here’s what their voters are dealing with: In Florida - https://www.yahoo.com/news/floridas-immigration-law-brings-significant-010711141.html Historically, though, we've had plenty of crews," Conlan said. "In the last year our crew count has been cut in half." The law requires businesses like his, with 25 or more employees, to check employees' legal status through a database called E-Verify. He says it's cumbersome and puts him at a disadvantage with smaller roofers who don't have that requirement. "I am not a fan of open borders," Conlan said. "But I am a fan of putting people to work in this community who are contributing to the community. There's got to be a way to get them into this system where they get paid a fair wage, and they pay their fair taxes, and everybody gets back to work And in Iowa - https://www.axios.com/local/des-moines/2021/07/23/iowa-farmworker-shortage-immigration-reform-grassley Jen Sorenson, a spokesperson for Iowa Select Farms, testified before a Senate committee Wednesday that severe labor shortages could lead to the closure of farms and packing plants. An increasing need for workers in the face of rural population declines cannot be overcome without "foreign-born labor," Sorenson testified. Current visa programs designed for seasonal agriculture fail to meet the year-round needs of livestock farmers, she said.
  6. What Texans fear most is that their insistence on voting for Republicans who are anti consumer will miraculously stop biting them in the butt.
  7. Why haven’t House Republicans crafted a revised immigration policy for Congress to pass.
  8. Elon wants to make sure your plane is not being flown by an HBCU grad. Y’all need to check: https://news.yahoo.com/elon-musk-cosigns-racist-claim-153400769.html Late last year, Musk threw a massive tantrum on stage following outrage at his calling an unhinged and antisemitic conspiracy theory "the actual truth." Now, Musk has similarly endorsed a tweet suggesting Black students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have lower IQs and shouldn't become pilots. "It will take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy of DIE," he tweeted, in response to a post arguing that IQ averages were lower at HBCUs, and lower than the "average IQ of US Air Force pilots."
  9. Remember that Democratic State prosecutor in Florida who Desantis fired because of reasons? Well… Trump Judge Spanks Ron DeSantis for Retaliating Against a Democratic Rival https://news.yahoo.com/trump-judge-spanks-ron-desantis-224104246.html?ref=spot-im-jac?spot_im_highlight_immediate=true&spot_im_comment_id=sp_Rba9aFpG_76410dd4-8407-3add-946d-fcded98042b5_c_2aq7kxknSLn96d1WgJNR8wsJBW7&utm_source=spotim&utm_medium=e-mail&utm_campaign=liked-message&spot_im_redirect_source=email
  10. What makes it so awesome is the only time Jim Jordan has nothing to say is when Swalwell is dragging his ass about ignoring his subpoena.
  11. I think had Obama been found to have received 8 million dollars from foreign governments, he would have been impeached, convicted and driven from office. Trump is a living, breathing example of real white privilege - not the fake king Nancy Mace referred to in yesterday’s House hearing.
  12. There should be other indications coming: https://abcnews.go.com/US/trumps-businesses-received-millions-foreign-entities-presidency-house/story?id=106106433 A new report by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee documents more than $7.8 million in payments from at least 20 foreign governments — including China, Saudi Arabia and Qatar — to businesses owned by then-President Donald Trump during two years of his presidential term.
  13. He’s smarter than a lot of older famous people who work until they can’t walk, and die two months after retiring. He’s 72. What’s the big deal?
  14. This is too much for even some nut job pastors in Iowa: https://www.yahoo.com/news/iowa-pastors-denounce-god-made-040000247.html
  15. It’s still hard to believe just how far off the rails the GOP has gone since the emergence of Trump. It’s like we’re all living in a bad dream.
  16. Can a Leopard change its spots? The shame his felt dissipated quickly: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/republican-congressman-troy-nehls-scolds-jan-6-rioters-barricaded-house-chamber-new-video/ Dramatic new cell phone video obtained by CBS News shows rioters who had breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, being scolded by a Republican congressman who was barricaded inside the House Chamber during the assault. The video was released this week to media by the Justice Department — at the request of NBC News — as part of the federal criminal proceeding for Capitol rioter Damon Beckley, who was convicted during a stipulated bench trial last February of one count each of obstructing an official proceeding and interfering with law-enforcement officers during a civil disorder in the Jan. 6 attack. In the video, which runs about seven minutes, a mob is shown crowded outside the doors of the House Chamber, yelling at congressional members through what appears to be broken glass. Republican Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas interacts briefly with the rioters through the door. "I've been in law enforcement in Texas for 30 years, and I've never seen people like this," Nehls, who is masked, scolds the mob. Prior to joining Congress, Nehls had served as a sheriff in Fort Bend County, outside Houston. I'm ashamed," he adds.
  17. Abbott is no Christian: On New Year's Eve, Abbott flew hundreds of migrants — including many children — to the Rockford airport in Illinois, 30 miles outside of Chicago. It was snowing upon their arrival, and some of the migrants had no coats or shoes. Others were wearing flip-flops.
  18. Good question. Can’t imagine any responsible parent sending his 6th grader to school unarmed.
  19. Yeah, that was normally the case for women of that era. See Anita Hill.
