  1. In one of his books, Paul Volcker wrote about how, when inflation was raging in the late 1970s, he understood that the Fed would have to tighten the money supply in order to squeeze inflation out of the economy. Upon becoming Fed. chairman in August, 1979, Volcker told Carter exactly that, adding that tightening the money supply would would undoubtedly cause a recession ---- which would certainly impact Carter's re-election chances. Carter told Volcker to do it. Then the Carter administration initiated the credit-control program in March, 1980, precipitating that recession. Carter and Volcker essentially engineered the recession, knowing what it would probably sink Carter's chances at re-election. But they were successful, and inflation wasn't a thing for decades ... until Trump.
  2. Tadej Pogaca is on another planet.
  3. Racist graffiti in College Station? I'm SHOCKED!! SHOCKED, I SAY!
  4. Reuters: Elon's quick to build here in Texas, but slow to pay his bills: "If they were to call me today, I'd tell them to fuck off," said Brian Rozelle, an owner of Hydroz Energy Services LLC. https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/musks-spacex-is-quick-build-texas-slow-pay-its-bills-2024-05-13/
  5. It is literally impossible to get the last word in when arguing with Echeese. Even when he's wrong, and he frequently is, he can never, ever admit it. And he has more time than you do and it just means so very much to him. It reminds me of that old adage "Never wrestle with a pig. You just get dirty and the pig enjoys it."
  6. I was thinking "8th grade? Sark's been on him a long time!" Then I realized that in Dia's case that was ... two years ago. Damn. 2026? Holy shit. It's likely that he won't play much at all on the 40 until 2028. I could be dead by then.
  7. I did not have the U.S. Secretary of State jamming on "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" in a Kiev bar on my 2024 bingo card, but fuck Vladimir Putin.
  8. Prosecutors ask judge to put him away now: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/doj-requests-judge-order-steve-bannon-begin-prison/story?id=110209704 I think they want four months because it will take at least that long to hose off and delouse the motherfucker.
  9. I have a friend who really believes in this chemtrail shit. Acting like I'd never heard of it, I said "well that sounds pretty crazy to me. Are you sure about this?" And he went into this whole five-minute discussion of the research that he's done etc ... So, again acting innocent, I said "this seems hard to believe. Has anybody just taken a plane up to one of these chemtrails, collected some of it, and had it analyzed? Because that seems like it wouldn't be too hard to do and it would put the whole thing to rest." About five seconds of silence, followed by "I don't know. I don't think so. I'll check." About a month later I asked and he said he'd researched it and couldn't find anybody who'd ever done that. I just said "Well, being as it couldn't be too hard to do, I reckon I'd want somebody to do that before I started to believe it." I'm not sure, but I may have actually planted seeds of doubt in his mind. The thing is, you can't argue with a conspiracy theorist. You just have to ask the simplest question you can in plain spoken, uncombative language that makes it sound like you have never heard of the conspiracy but ... Then you ask the question and let it simmer for a while.
  10. Christian Jones has some opinions regarding whether Kyle Flood's developing of OL is "an open question":
  11. LOL. https://www.si.com/college/texas/news/where-longhorns-rank-among-best-offensive-lines-in-college-football-01hxm83jwtbs
  12. Somebody named Marcus Garcia just committed to those fuckfaces. https://247sports.com/player/marcus-garcia-46144270/ They think they're going to get their 2025 QB today, too. Husan Longstreet.
  13. Clarence Thomas benefactor Harlan Crow misrepresented his yacht as a business in order to take millions in tax deductions in a "run of the mill" tax scam. Glad to know that there's at least a senate probe into this: https://www.propublica.org/article/senate-probe-casts-doubt-harlan-crow-yacht-tax-deductions
  14. I still don't know. Did Looch say this?
  15. Your wish will be fulfilled on Oct. 17. Thanks to @LTtxfan for posting that Torre Becton interview. That was awesome. I am very impressed by him.
  16. I have been suckered into Outlander by my GF. Between it and Dark Matter I think I have a good portion of my summer viewing nailed down. Caitriona Balfe's breasts are enough to keep me interested.
  17. Anybody else heard that Dorian Brew is really liking Texas? Is this something that is known and I just didn't pick up on it somehow or is this just a ploy to drive up Ohio State's final offer? His dad is from Houston and went to Klein High School. Here's a video of his dad coming in third in the 400m at the Athens Olympics. This was a 1-2-3 USA sweep.
  18. I don't think he wants to destroy the Republican party. He simply doesn't care one way or another as long as he's a free man and can live like a rich asshole. However, how much concerted effort would it take to start a deep state Q-anon rumor that Trump is a manchurian candidate hired by Soros to make Republicans forget true conservative values like small government and also making Republicans look ridiculous by forcing them to embrace a man who cheated on his wives, cheated on his taxes, cheated on his contractors, cheated on his Trump U students, cheated on his charities etc... i.e. everything the Republican party DOESN'T stand for?
