  1. Does this mean because Governor Abbott, being a member of the “inclusion” community by virtue of his disability, will not be able to get another job?
  2. Really?
  3. More of Eric Swalwell, Jasmine Crockett and Dan Goldberg.
  4. Getting worse before it’s better is obviously a real thing: The Trump administration will remain steadfast in its reciprocal tariffs on major U.S. trading partners even in the face of a global stock market sell-off, Commerce Secretary Howard Bootlick told CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
  5. True. It just occurred to me that this is the first time in my life where a POTUS has gone after the legal profession in the manner Trump has. What is particularly sobering is how almost normal it feels.
  6. Yeah, well, they chose the wrong school for that name.
  7. It really should be called East Texas A&M to distinguish it from West Texas A&M in Canyon.
  8. To stop the market’s free fall?
  9. What are the chances the “fake news” of a 90 day suspension of the tariffs came from the Trump’s bunch?
  10. CNN — An image of and quote from Harriet Tubman have been removed from a National Parks webpage about the “Underground Railroad,” following several prominent changes to government websites under the Trump administration. The National Parks Service webpage for the “Underground Railroad” used to lead with a quote from Tubman, the railroad’s most famous “conductor”, a comparison on the Wayback Machine between the webpage on January 21 and March 19 shows. Both the quote and an image of Tubman have since been removed, along with several references to “enslaved” people and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. The Washington Post first reported on the changes. The webpage now leads with commemorative stamps of various civil rights leaders with text including the phrase “Black/White Cooperation.” Whereas previously, the article started with a description of enslaved peoples’ efforts to free themselves and the organization of the Underground Railroad after the Fugitive Slave Act, the article now starts with two paragraphs that emphasize the “American ideals of liberty and freedom” and do not specifically mention slavery.
  11. Chuckle.Was really counting on seeing that all Sec championship game.
  12. Good grief, you big eared oaf.
  13. Trump to Americans: “Hang tough while I screw you over. I’m going golfing.”
  14. Cody Campbell must not have any other hobbies: https://www.essentiallysports.com/ncaa-college-football-news-college-football-programs-four-eight-m-nil-pull-lands-top-ten-transfer-from-acc-powerhouse-stanford-texas-tech-david-bailey/
  15. One country that did not feature on Donald Trump's list of tariffs on US trade partners was Russia. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdjl3k1we8vo US outlet Axios quoted White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as saying this was because existing US sanctions on Russia "preclude any meaningful trade" and noting that Cuba, Belarus and North Korea were also not included. However, nations with even less trade with the US - such as Syria, which exported $11m of products last year according to UN data quoted by Trading Economics - were on the list.

  17. Oh hell. I’ll go ahead and be blasphemous. I don’t get why fans of every basketball program in the country seems to be pining away for Chris Beard. Sure, he’s a good coach with one improbable run to the NCAA championship game, but other coaches have been as successful. Even if he goes to aggy his pattern of rapid success will probably hold, he’ll get bored and move on. The most aggy will get out of it is a new gym. He and his co dependent assistant have a tendency to wear on people after awhile. Him coming back to Texas won’t impact the trajectory of basketball at Texas, Houston, Baylor or Tech. People need to relax.
  18. Just how many BB blue bloods are there today? Two? Three?
  19. That heifer was wearing a watch Rolex valued at 50k. She’s a true populist.
  20. US orders French companies to comply with Trump's diversity ban Some French firms ordered to comply with US diversity ban Trump's order aimed at French firms with US government contracts France calls interference 'unacceptable' https://www.reuters.com/world/us-warns-french-companies-they-must-comply-with-trumps-diversity-ban-2025-03-29/ PARIS, March 29 (Reuters) - The Trump administration has ordered some French companies with U.S. government contracts to comply with his executive order banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programmes, highlighting the extraterritorial reach of U.S. policies and their potential impact on European corporate practices. The companies have been told to confirm their compliance in a questionnaire entitled "Certification Regarding Compliance With Applicable Federal Anti-Discrimination Law." Reuters has seen a copy of the questionnaire.
  21. Again, why was he holding court in a Greenland airplane hanger?
  22. Point taken. Let me rephrase. Conferences being ahead or behind one another is cyclical. Making that kind of calculation would be shortsighted.
  23. Conference power rankings are cyclical. Making that kind of calculation would be short sighted.
  24. This must mean he’s planning to gut Medicare. His formula is to throw the base a race bone and then cut them off at the knees
  25. Why is Buzz so desperate to get out of aggy?
