  1. I feel so conflicted watching this…..
  2. I just don't think people realize how strong the "designated terrorist organization" language is vs pretty much anything else regarding how the immigration law is written. It is multiple levels more harsh than any other process tied to an illegal activity or falsity. I am now interested in how many other movements on college campuses can be tied to supporting a known terrorist organization. Outside of HAMAS, Iran, and maybe now with the immigration strife in Ireland, the New Irish Republican Army, I don't see any other potential groups that are easy fodder for domestic academic institutions, And before anyone gets into the discussion about protected political free speech, remember that political campaign donations are even considered political free speech and even those are barred from non-US citizens.
  3. 8 USC 1182 and 8 USC 1227 This has been this way since 2005 and worst, has been used this way in the past. Note that no “material” support of terrorism needs to be alleged and no formal crime must be committed. Mere speech suffices. No due process, only "reasonable ground to believe, is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry". As someone who works with international students on a daily basis, this is why I caution them all to not get involved in things like this. There is a much different set of rules for a green card holder or being on a student visa and being a citizen. It is not very difficult to come up with "a consular officer, the Attorney General, or the Secretary of Homeland Security knows, or has reasonable ground to believe, is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry in any terrorist activity" as defined as "(VII) endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization"
  4. So if we lose, do they fire RT before the SEC tournament?
  5. https://surlyx.com/TomPelissero/status/1898527597396480266 #Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy won’t be charged following his arrest in Texas. Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick told the Austin American-Statesman that, after speaking with multiple witnesses, his office is not accepting the case at this time.
  6. The main reason I posted the Coaches Rumors tweet is that he is much more focused on college basketball than 99% of those out there pushing various rumor scenarios and potential options via teams sites or networks/pods. The fact that it he will even entertain the idea as a possibility tells me at least some sort of discussion has occurred, and it wasn't the classic agent shakedown. I probably view it as a 70/30 against, but if talks have occurred, it does show that we may be shorting both who are viable targets and the CDC criteria for a basketball coach.

  8. somewhat of an anticlamatic run rule walkoff...
  9. I love/hate this win...
  10. This is starting to sound like he is going to be the guy that a team trades in the 30-32 slot to get for that extra year cap control...
  11. Kelvin Banks 6051 315 10 3/8 hand 33 1/2 arm 84 3/8 wing
  12. Inside the Gambling Ring Allegedly Linked to Widespread Point Shaving in Pro and College Basketball Looks like it is now involving Temple, Michigan State, and NC A&T plus multiple more. Will be real interested when the plea is finally worked out. Rumor is that he is willing to sing and torch many more schools, but is trying to get off with no jail time and as little financial penalties as possible.. https://www.si.com/college-basketball/college-basketball-pa-announcer-goes-overboard-with-soundboard-during-swac-game
  13. https://surlyx.com/AnwarRichardson/status/1894175255330984410 Akina it is...
  14. This one will be interesting because we are now remaking the entire secondary set of coaches... Wish we would have earlier and sent about this whole thing as a package deal.
  15. Lots of early analysis on the descent data and its all coming back as coming in way too hot with minimal flare. Now the question is going to be wind shear on the final portion of descent or visual altitude spatial disorientation due to whiteout/snow confusing the horizon. My guess is that they are going with pilot error on this one. They hit extremely hard (1100 fpm is the current estimate vs. the normal 500-600) and unless there was a major wind sheer in the final portion of descent or something else odd found in the blackbox data, the NTSB is going to go with the obvious here.
  16. Sounds like 3 more of them were picked up today. Waiting for a real big name report on this to confirm... This one is WAY out there... not heaven's gate bizzare, but its getting close
  17. WTF? So lots of questions.. How do you grab something through a drive through window? Like did he get out or just crawl through? Whos car and why? This is just so fucking random.. I got a feeling this is going to have something to do with an undefeated pussy, a whip for his baby mama, and someone fooling around on someone..
  18. This one has been discussed on the fringes of the news off and on for a while now. The individual in charge has faked their death (at least once) and there are bizarre allegations of Manson-level compulsion among some of the early followers. Don't forget that there are 340M-ish people in this country. 1% of them have psychopathic tendencies, 3% have sociopath tendencies, approximately 1% are narcissists, and another 5% show Machiavellian tendencies. The pool of people to hit all on those right now in the US? This just goes back to the simple narrative, it is always worthwhile to be nice to people when you can. You never know how is standing next to you in line...
