  1. Sadly, this craziness is coming to every state university in Texas, thanks to Texas grad and Texas Tech chancellor who went on a years long jihad against DEI: Because of his legislative successes against rights, “Creighton and others like him can now “ dictate what is prohibited in the classroom, control what is taught and create a campus environment that nurtures and supports only some students.”
  2. Why is capitalism losing favor in Trump’s America? https://www.axios.com/2025/09/08/americans-capitalism-social-big-business-gallup-poll The lowest share of Americans ever view capitalism positively and big business rates even worse in new Gallup data released Monday. Why it matters: Americans' souring attitudes toward capitalism and corporations reflects a growing unease with the economy, rising inflation and a stagnating job market. In another recent poll, 70% of U.S. adults said they had no faith in the American dream of hard work paying off. By the numbers: A slim majority of Americans — 54% — said they have positive ratings of capitalism, down from 60% in 2021. Perceptions of socialism — currently 39% positive — have not changed significantly since polling began in 2010. State of play: For the first time, fewer than half of Democrats view capitalism positively. They're also the only political group to view socialism more positively than capitalism. Ratings of "big business" have dropped significantly, especially among Democrats. However, Americans remain overwhelmingly supportive of small business and free enterprise despite their skepticism of larger market forces.
  3. At Trump’s direction. Bondi. Patel and company would destroy everything that could bring him down, knowing that he will pardon them. They’d better hope he doesn’t die suddenly.
  4. They should substitute pedophile for child rapist every time they talk about the child rapists.
  5. McGuire is not going to piggy. Why would he?
  6. Several House GOP hard-liners are pushing to kill a provision contained in the shutdown-ending funding package that would allow senators to sue the government if their electronic records are obtained without their knowledge, according to two people granted anonymity to share private conversations. That legislative language was inserted in the Senate at the instruction of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, responding to the several Republican senators who are enraged their phone records were subpoenaed as part of Biden-era special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/11/12/congress/house-republicans-push-vote-to-reverse-provision-allowing-senators-to-sue-over-phone-records-00648323
  7. Nobody really cares about any of that so long as everybody is making gobs of money.
  8. You want them to get a bye. All four teams earning byes last year, lost.

  10. Catholic priests and religious are being advised not to leave the country:
  11. From Yahoo News: The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. The UK’s decision marks a significant break from its closest ally and intelligence sharing partner and underscores the growing skepticism over the legality of the US military’s campaign around Latin America. For years, the UK, which controls a number of territories in the Caribbean where it bases intelligence assets, has helped the US locate vessels suspected of carrying drugs so that the US Coast Guard could interdict them, the sources said. That meant the ships would be stopped, boarded, its crew detained, and drugs seized.
  12. The 350 million guns in the hands of Americans aren’t gonna shoot themselves. If some die inconveniently, well…
  13. Who can’t see that TPUCA is a cesspool of indoctrination.
  14. Schools will ultimately have to figure out how to feel about managing coaching assets in an environment where success in unreasonably judged by how often you are one of the 136 programs that gets one of the 12 CFB playoff spots. 10-2 is no longer a safe measuring stick. It’s crazy.
  15. Surprised to learn Tech has so many wealthy donors. When you think about it, it kinda makes sense that they’re just now making themselves known. Comparatively speaking, Tech is probably the youngest big program in the state.
  16. I learned some things. Dellenger did a job job: https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/texas-oil-and-football-how-texas-tech-has-raised-a-football-monster-in-no-time-at-all-162348066.html
  17. You are correct: https://www.newsweek.com/trump-demands-voting-changes-hours-after-major-democrat-wins-10994395 President Donald Trump is calling for sweeping changes to the election system, hours after Democrats notched a series of victories in statewide elections. "Pass Voter Reform, Voter ID, No Mail-In Ballots. Save our Supreme Court from "Packing," No Two State addition, etc. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!!!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday night. On Tuesday, Democrats won gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, and the New York City mayoral race. California voters also approved Proposition 50, a measure championed by Governor Gavin Newsom that gives the party control over congressional redistricting—a move that could help Democrats reclaim as many as five Republican-held seats. The measure was designed to cancel out redistricting changes in Texas that likely favored Republicans. Trump's call for strict voter ID laws and an end to mail-in voting stems from his repeated, though unsubstantiated, claims that election fraud gives Democrats an advantage, particularly in high-turnout elections. Meanwhile, his opposition to expanding the Supreme Court and granting statehood to Washington, D.C., or Puerto Rico reflects concerns that those changes would strengthen Democratic influence by adding liberal justices and additional Democratic seats in Congress. The Democrats saw a string of victories on Tuesday night, almost a year after their loss to Trump in November 2024.
  18. He’ll leave office with a 19% approval rating. Dead or alive.
  19. I hope Auburn loses every game.
  20. So, game is recognizing game?
  21. It must be dawning on some of these schools that they are likely to pay more for a guy who is not appreciably better than who they fired. It’s all a little bit crazy.
  22. They might need to weigh avoiding Mamdani against being governed by hateful, attention starved, right wing lunatic.
  23. God, these Republicans…
  24. Right winger who ridiculed Biden’s cancer diagnosis, wants to live, even as he supports the guy who doesn’t give a flip about the health care of little people. Who knew? https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/dilbert-trump-kaiser-21134567.php Dilbert comic strip creator and Bay Area resident Scott Adams posted a public plea Sunday to President Donald Trump for help getting cancer treatment at Kaiser Permanente. “On it,” Trump wrote in response a few hours later. Adams is a vocal Trump supporter whose work has been canceled in several newspapers over racist statements. He claimed on X that his health care provider, Kaiser of Northern California, “dropped the ball in scheduling” treatment for his metastatic prostate cancer, and he wrote that he planned to ask the president to intervene to help “save” his life.
  25. CBS News Edited Out Part of Trump's 60 Minutes Interview That He Said Would 'Embarrass' Them, According to Full Transcript Does anybody have legal standing to sue CBS and get 16 million like Trump did?
