    Cumulus doesn't care about the ticket other than getting the best ratings they can for the least money possible. It's over. 

    Really do wonder what Sirois and Danny will do. For Danny having that kid so late in life he's gonna be finding ways to scrape by for the rest of his days. 

    Is Danny’s lounge in Fort Worth still going?

    https://ir.immunitybio.com/news-releases/news-release-details/immunitybio-announces-positive-overall-survival-results-anktiva.

    So, this week, ImmunityBio (IBRX) got approval for their bladder cancer, drug, Anktiva  This will go up against Merck’s drug, Keytruda, but Anktiva will become the standard of care for the bladder cancer indication as their results were much better than Merck’s.  Today, IBRX announced that Anktiva in conjunction with Keytruda  could almost double the survival rate in the standard of care for patients with >lung cancer<.  Even the lung cancer patients getting Keytruda and seeing a benefit will eventually relapse.  Adding Anktiva to the equation causes the checkpoint inhibitor to resume function.  This may exist for several other checkpoint inhibitors and represents a rescue therapy for those with failing checkpoint inhibitor treatments and disease progression in a variety of solid tumors.  To that end, IBRX also has a study in phase 2 treating pancreatic cancer with Anktiva in combination with other drugs (now, that Anktiva is FDA approved, label expansion based on second and third line trials can allow other applications).  ImmunityBio has a meeting scheduled with the FDA in June to discuss the path to a registration filing of Anktiva plus Keytruda for people (previously getting only Keytruda) whose lung cancer did not respond to checkpoint therapy.  ImmunityBio also gets $100 million in nondilutive cash as an infusion with Anktiva’s approval bringing their cash on hand to approximately $240 million for the launch of Anktiva as a treatment for bladder cancer.  IBRX will need to build their distribution network from the ground floor as this is their first FDA approved drug, but that’s going to happen.  Keytruda sold almost $7 billion in the last quarter as a treatment for various cancers.  Do your own DD, but IBRX appears to have limited downside and enormous upside.  *Because of the passing of my mother-in-law, I hadn’t planned on visiting Surly today, but the lung cancer treatment with Anktiva is huge and if you’re invested in IBRX or are considering investing in IBRX, you needed to know whazzup.

    They take a lot of bullshit aggressive positions as a firm and try and wear down the tax authority with their BS. Within the tax community, their reputation is fairly poor and they have significantly biased tax authorities against most taxpayers trying to settle legitimate disagreements fairly.

    Its amazing how big a business one can build on sales/use/property taxes across this country.

    They have gotten very aggressive in growing their legal branch in recent yrs, almost any/every ‘eligible’ atty I know in my field has gotten a call/offer from them. In my industry at least they’re a mile wide and inch deep but they’re also the 800lb gorilla easily. He needs to ipo before the thing collapses in on itself.

  4. Of course Brint Ryan is first up to sue the ftc over the ruling. He has a tax consulting giant that has swallowed up most of his competition via PE funded buy outs with the rumor of rolling it all into going public. Hundreds of millions spent buying competitors, a shit ton of which goes up in smoke if the property tax system in Tx goes away/significantly changes. Dude is feeling the heat from all sides now, and the wolves are knocking on his door.
     

    oh, he’s a prick in general, just to be clear.

    OJ Simpson’s death prompted me to revisit OJ: Made in America on Netflix. Such a great documentary. 

    Got stuck in this lately, great damn watch. That prosecution team was so over matched.

  6. Shit there are at least 3 cabinet/senior advisors in that group I can name. Wolff is a Plano west/smu grad that weaseled his way into heading up homeland sec. McMahon was education sec. Conway was senior advisor of course. Whitaker had a cup of coffee as AG between the elf and bill barr tenures.

    The state GOP owns this state. It’s implementing highly unpopular laws, racist laws, laws that relegate women to second class citizens without body autonomy, and they’re winning elections. They are the state of Texas and they are implementing racist and misogynistic laws, and they’re getting re elected. Given that, how is the state NOT getting more revisit and misogynistic? 
     

     

    Not just winning but trouncing. And the change in just the last 2 yrs with the primary results as evidence is pure nuttery.

    I must be guilty of it, too. Seems like it was every time I listened to middays. The biggest problem is the Ticket has lost the funny and tried to replace it with man talk from less than manly men. Dying is easy, comedy is hard.

    Pretty solid way of putting it. That mino show is listless ship at sea… not funny enough to do schtick, minimal real life experiences/zero story telling skill, and no sports insight either. Monty has a little something on humor/story but of course he’s a backup.

    If your interpretation of these events is correct, that would seem to prove that the Republican party is getting more racist and misogynistic, not the state of Texas.

    Or the Texas gop is finally getting inline with the soul of its constituents.
