  1. This heifer is addicted to cameras: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-files-motion-oust-mike-johnson-house-speake-rcna134385 WASHINGTON — Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown. Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted from the top job under a similar process. It was not immediately clear how the House would act on her motion, which requires just a majority vote to remove the speaker. Greene, R-Ga., did not file the motion as privileged — which would force a vote within two legislative days — but instead as a regular motion, which could be referred to a committee, where it would likely languish.
  2. Another House Republican Is Resigning—Narrowing GOP Edge To One Seat Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wisc., is resigning from Congress effective April 19, he announced Friday—delivering a major blow to the Republican conference’s slim majority that has shrunk as former President Donald Trump’s ideological allies have overtaken the GOP. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/03/22/another-house-republican-is-resigning-narrowing-gop-edge-to-one-seat/?sh=46f2a4ee2852
  3. Why is Kyle Rittenhouse speaking to college students?
  4. It may not be Jack shit, but I’m pretty sure it’s gon’ be some kinda shit happening.
  5. He has a different personality when he’s not shooting people.
  6. These governors have no idea what’s about to jump off in response to their inability not to overreach.
  7. The Courts are all over the place on SB4 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sb4-texas-immigration-law-blocked-again-after-supreme-court-allowed-state-to-arrest-migrants/ Hours after the Supreme Court gave Texas officials permission to jail and prosecute migrants suspected of crossing the U.S. southern border without authorization, an appeals court late Tuesday blocked the state from enforcing its controversial immigration law known as SB4. In a late-night order, a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel dissolved a pause that it issued in early March to suspend a lower court ruling that found SB4 to be unconstitutional. The order reinstated a ruling from U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra, who concluded in late February that SB4 conflicted with federal immigration laws and the Constitution. Earlier on Tuesday, the Supreme Court denied a request from the Justice Department to void the initial 5th Circuit order that had paused Ezra's ruling. The high court allowed SB4 to take effect for several hours, though it's unclear whether Texas arrested any migrants under the law during that short time span. Ezra's order blocking SB4 will stay in place until the 5th Circuit rules on Texas' request to allow the law to be enforced while the appeals court considers its legality. A virtual hearing on that question is scheduled for Wednesday morning
  8. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signs sweeping law that prohibits diversity, equity, and inclusion at public schools and universities https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/19/us/alabama-bill-bans-dei-public-universities-reaj/index.html
  9. Kevin is poised to pull off an improbable triple double. He’s managed to ostracize two fan bases while failing to get drafted. Impressive.
  10. I find it beyond stupefying that millions of Texas actually like such a loathsome prick.
  11. The bill requires that all brown people arrested under its provisions must be dumped into Mexico, even if they are not Mexican and have never been to Mexico. Texas voters are the stupidest sons a bitches on the planet.
  12. I’m betting it will be mere days before they arrest and mistreat a Latino born in Navasota.
  13. Lend Trump money? Hilarious.
  14. Very few members of Trump's former cabinet have endorsed his 2024 re-election campaign. NBC News reached out to over 40 former cabinet members, finding just 4 publicly endorsed Trump. Other former cabinet members burned by Trump are advocating against him. https://www.businessinsider.com/members-trumps-cabinet-just-4-endorsed-him-2024-nbc-2023-7
  15. Is this the thread we use to congratulate Republicans on Putin’s re-election?
  16. Not many would have guessed with the Sec getting 8 bids that a Beard coached Ole Miss would not be one of them.
  17. The Israel-Hamas story is one with a lot of moving parts: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-qatar-money-prop-up-hamas.html
  18. Nice article in the Sunday DMN about the B12 being the best and getting better. Some excerpts: https://www.dallasnews.com/... “ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla doesn’t buy into any of the arguments against the Big 12 not having been the best league in the country for the last decade. Kansas and Baylor won titles and Texas Tech played in overtime of a championship game just in the last five years. Fraschilla expanded on that theme.” They’ve been ranked No. 1 conference nine of the last 11 years and were No. 2 when they weren’t. And they’ve had five different teams go to the Elite Eight in the last five years,’’ he said. That’s five teams in four tournaments since the 2020 affair was canceled at the outset of the pandemic. Texas and Kansas State traveled to the Elite Eight last year and, naturally, Baylor, Kansas and Tech made it on those championship game trips. Won’t surprise anyone if two new names — Houston and Iowa State — make it this year, and guess what? It’s a shame that basketball suffers in comparison to football because of the massive amount of conference-based revenues football generates (not saying the hoopsters don’t get a nice check from CBS). Instead of folks clutching their pearls over the loss of Texas and Oklahoma from the football landscape, there would be a much louder discussion about who’s coming to the Big 12 to play roundball. Start with Arizona, the last regular season champion of the Pac-12 and a likely No. 2 seed tomorrow. Then there’s Colorado, which played Oregon for the Pac-12 tournament title Saturday night in Las Vegas. Utah and Arizona State have been known to put together some decent basketball teams, and I would suspect this is the last year that Kansas departs the Big 12 tournament so quickly and quietly. The Big 12 is likely to place nine teams in the March Madness field Sunday night, and who’s to say the league won’t make double figures in 2025
  19. Hell, I remember when A&E used to program actual arts and entertainment.
  20. I hope ISU is not banking on that. People can adapt and grow where’re they’re planted. Throw all the money at him you possibly can.
  21. I’m really hoping ISU will be able to beat back all of the suitors who are sure to come for Otzelberger. The Big 12 needs to be more than a green room for B1G and Sec schools looking to improve their fortunes.
  22. Which one is functional, in your view?
  23. Let’s see how long Pence stays off the crazy train: https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/15/politics/pence-will-not-endorse-trump/index.html Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday said he “cannot in good conscience” endorse presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, a stunning repudiation of his former running mate and the president he served with. “Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on during our four years. That’s why I cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump in this campaign,” Pence said on Fox News.
  24. The meat of the matter in the classified docs case and Judge Cannon can be found at the 3:15 mark in this clip:
