  1. I would agree. Let’s be honest. The real reason West Texas fans and legislators are mad at UT is it got away Scott free with something no other school in any other state would have even tried. It threw a lifeline worth millions to an out of state school and did so without dilemma. Imagine USC choosing Oregon instead of UCLA to join them in the B1G. That’s the real source of their ire.
  2. Looks like Jack Smith is looking for any connection between the documents he stole and the countries he conducted business with during his time as POTUS: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/22/us/politics/trump-records-foreign-deals.html Federal prosecutors overseeing the investigation into former President Donald J. Trump’s handling of classified documents have issued a subpoena for information about Mr. Trump’s business dealings in foreign countries since he took office, according to two people familiar with the matter. It remains unclear precisely what the prosecutors were hoping to find by sending the subpoena to Mr. Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, or when it was issued. But the subpoena suggests that investigators have cast a wider net than previously understood as they scrutinize whether he broke the law in taking sensitive government materials with him upon leaving the White House and then not fully complying with demands for their return. The subpoena — drafted by the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith — sought details on the Trump Organization’s real estate licensing and development dealings in seven countries: China, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, according to the people familiar with the matter. The subpoena sought the records for deals reached since 2017, when Mr. Trump was sworn in as president. The Trump Organization swore off any foreign deals while he was in the White House, and the only such deal Mr. Trump is known to have made since then was with a Saudi-based real estate company to license its name to a housing, hotel and golf complex that will be built in Oman. He struck that deal last fall just before announcing his third presidential campaign
  3. Stop majoring in the minors. Ted Cruz is upset with Anheuser Busch for grooming young drinkers. Where’s your outrage.
  4. I agree completely. That wasn’t my point at all.
  5. I would caution us not to misapply the charge of racism to every position we don’t like. It will become as meaningless as the term, woke. It might be helpful when having difficult but crucial conversations about race/racism to seek common ground on a generally accepted definition racism.
  6. Well, to be fair, a lot of those who refuse to do anything to stop the carnage went to church today. So, there’s that.
  7. Warner Bros. Discovery Boss Boasts ‘Republicans Are Back on the Air’ at CNN Republicans are back on the air. Republicans weren’t on the air,” David Zaslavsaid during an appearance at the MoffettNathanson conference. The Warner boss also claimed that he and CNN boss Chris Licht have told Republicans that appearing on CNN could help them at the ballot boxes. https://www.thedailybeast.com/warner-bros-discovery-ceo-david-zaslav-boasts-that-republicans-are-back-on-the-air-at-cnn
  8. Told ya she was goin ho’in’.
  9. He satisfies my earlier example of a gun idolator doing something similar on Dealey Plaza.
  10. I think it’s important for the larger society to learn how to normalize a healthy dispassion about guns. There’s nothing wrong with not loving guns.
  11. Can you imagine Granny outgrowing anybody? I really think she and Margorie are going to form the ‘ho caucus and go hoin’. That’s what I think.
  12. Can you imagine all of the dirty little secrets he’s going to let fly about Granny?
  13. DeSantis is fund raising for Daniel Penny, the former Marine arrested in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a NYC subway.
  14. This is why I got all ragey when listening to those Collin County residents who bussed to Austin to protest gun violence. One woman angrily declared “this is in our backyards now, so something must be done.” Their state Senator, Angela Paxton wouldn’t meet with them. She was too busy voting. Here’s an idea. Stop voting for Republicans.
  15. The dead 18 year old murderer in Farmington brings the death total to 4. Brace for what may happen before the week is over.
  16. UT Law professor, Steve Vladeck is on Rachel Maddow discussing his new book on the vagaries of the SC’s shodow docket.
  17. Giuliani told alleged victim he was "SELLING PARDONS" for $2,000,000 each "which he and Trump would split" AND SHE HAS RECORDINGS AND EMAILS iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDoc…
  18. Wingers have predictably, moved the goalposts and are now declaring the Durham report a winner for them.
  19. According to McMurphy, Clemson, Florida State, Miami, North Carolina, Virginia, and Virginia Tech are calling themselves “The Magnificent Seven,” which is referring to a report from Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger that talked about seven programs that are trying to find their way out of this awful TV deal. “A subset of seven schools in the 14-member conference has coalesced over what many of them describe as an untenable situation,” Dellenger writes. “Officials from the seven schools, led by Florida State and Clemson, have met a handful of times over the past several months, with their lawyers examining the grant-of-rights to determine just how unbreakable it is.“ It appears that the ACC might not be sitting on solid footing right now if the reports are true. Outside of the Big Ten and SEC, conferences seem to be dealing with all kinds of fluidity as they try to do what’s best for their respective futures. The Big 12 is in the best shape of the remaining three power five conferences, with expanded members and the best TV deal of the trio. Plus, if they can add a couple of pieces out west, they might even get a better number. The only thing that is certain is that things will keep changing as the conferences position themselves moving forward. This summer is pivotal for the landscape of college athletics, and will certainly be one of the top storylines to follow as we inch closer to media days in a couple of months.
  20. Some one could stand on the sidewalk in Dealey Plaza, just outside the Texas School Book Depository, dressed in shooter garb while holding a loaded military style weapon, and police are forbidden from even questioning such a person. Under Texas law, he/she would have to shoot passersby before law enforcement could intervene, because freedom.
