  1. Well, as Trump said in his UN address yesterday, “It can only good happen.”
  2. So, ICE czar, Tom Homan caught the attention of the FBI in west Texas based on a tip from Republicans who accused him of being on the take. They expanded their probe to include Homan and successfully set a trap to ensnare him in a web of his own making. It’s important to note that the Biden DOJ, which Trump routinely accuses of political prosecutions of Republicans, (much to their eternal credit) never once disclosed that Trump’s pick to abuse migrants in his second term was being investigated. Now, Trump’s DOJ is denying Homan ever took the 50 grand offered by the FBI, while quietly closing the investigation into Homan’s actions: https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/judiciary-democrats-demand-doj-fbi-release-recordings-of-tom-homan-receiving-50000-cash-bribe

  4. I don’t think it was a small thing in recruiting circles, especially for those recruiting directly against OSU.
  5. The UNT coach is an up and comer.
  6. You no doubt heard that the shooter who predictably killed himself, had be radicalized online. No media outlet provided detailed who radicalized him. It should as surprised as to the reason why. The shooter had fallen under the spell of racist, virulently right wing, extremists.
  7. I hate that it once again falls on black people to tell it like it is. I hate that I'm too much of a coward to do the same. I hate that black people have to be brave for me, in part because (I'm assuming) their thoughts are, "What else are they going to do to us?". Variations of this sermon were preached in hundreds of black churches all across the country over the last two weeks.
  8. Can you imagine how many times early success will be referred to derisively as “cash infused” billionaire bought, and “ just wrong” in ways OSU’s and Michigan’s builds never were? https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/big12/2025/09/20/texas-tech-win-millions-championship-roster-cody-campbell/86268573007/?tbref=hp
  9. Should UNT continue to surprise, he’ll get offers. For once, I’d like to see UNT put a package together that could make their coach grow where’s planted rather than replace a sought after one every 2 -3 years.
  10. Isn’t their coach a Tech guy too?
  11. I hope Macron’s suit against her is Trump level - for something like a zillion billion dollars.
  12. He now feels free to be out and proud maga: https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/cardinal-timothy-dolan-turns-75-submits-resignation/
  13. This would be 1930’s Dolan: https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/the-great-scandal-christianitys-role-in-the-rise-of-the-nazis/
  14. There are dark days ahead for higher Ed in Texas: https://www.texasaft.org/membership/higher-ed/89th-legislature-closes-with-final-attack-ontexas-colleges-universities-and-health-institutions/
  15. If that gimpy-eyed sack of shit can hang it straight, he can climb on my counter and hang it himself. A federal judge a temporarily blocked SB10. We’ll see…
  16. And just this week Forbes named UT as a top public Ivy and a viable alternative to the Ivy League schools which have lost some luster in the current political climate. They obviously don’t know what’s afoot here in Texas.
  17. There are some very dark days ahead for higher ed in Texas. The latest aggy purge is brought to you by the Charlie Kirk inspired Professor Watchlist: After mounting political accusations of "liberal indoctrination" in Texas A&M University courses, President Mark Welsh is stepping down as the university's leader, Chancellor Glenn Hegar announced Thursday evening. The news comes after Welsh fired a professor at Gov. Greg Abbott's direction when a video of a student confronting the professor for teaching about gender identity in a children's literature course went viral. Critics have called the termination a politically motivated violation of academic freedom, while other critics have continued to push the call for Welsh to resign.
  18. This is where we’re headed with a bunch of Catholic politicians, and oligarchs leading the way: https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/the-great-scandal-christianitys-role-in-the-rise-of-the-nazis/ A growing body of scholarly research, some based on careful analysis of Nazi records, is clarifying this complex history.[2] It reveals a convoluted pattern of religious and moral failure in which atheism and the nonreligious played little role, except as victims of the Nazis and their allies. In contrast, Christianity had the capacity to stop Nazism before it came to power, and to reduce or moderate its practices afterwards, but repeatedly failed to do so because the principal churches were complicit with—indeed, in the pay of—the Nazis.
  19. It is time for organized resistance. There’s a lot riding on our ability to do so. Shit’s serious.
  20. For good measure, lets just add the the FCC will change a long standing rule that limits corporate ownership of stations from 39% to 80%, thereby allowing NextStar, Sinclair and other right wing media companies to control much of what America consumes on radio and TV. THIS IS ALL PROJECT 25 STUFF.
  21. I would suggest going bigger. The days after the next Dem president is sworn in, he should prevail on the Democratic Congress to pass legislation to expand the Supreme Court by 4 and have his nominees ready for a vote post haste.
  22. It’s interesting. Trump likes to appear impervious to the bone marrow hatred a majority of Americans have for him. But he really is bothered by it.
  23. He made fun of Trump’s response to a question about how he was handling Kirk’s death. FWIW, it was funny.
  24. Transparent my behind: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/us-justice-department-removes-study-142600191.html The US justice department has scrubbed a study from its website concluding that far-right extremists have killed far more Americans than any other domestic terrorist group, just days after a gunman fatally shot the prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The report, now archived, titled What NIJ Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism, vanished from the Department of Justice website between 11 and 12 September, according to Jason Paladino, an independent investigative reporter who first wrote the story. Kirk, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally, was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University on 10 September. The vanished study opened with: “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives. In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.”
