Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

Not a finding per se that Todd Blanche participated in a fraud, but getting close to that. In any event, this opinion will be studied in the NY bar disciplinary proceedings currently examining the detailed complaint against Blanche. He's going to lose his law license.

Trump pardoned Jack Abramoff's old business partner in July. We went through the federal filings and found the man's money in eight Republican Senate campaigns. Six belong to sitting senators.

“South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said Sunday he suspended star edge rusher Dylan Stewart indefinitely for a series of actions during Saturday’s 49-18 loss to Alabama.” These reports are very disturbing. This young man needs medical evaluation, not punishment. These are bright red “CTE” flags.

Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten.

In what world is it the purview of the President/Executive branch “to force conservative cultural changes on academia‘? And why end the paragraph without noting that there is no legal justification whatsoever for Trump and his minions to “force cultural change” on institutions of higher education.
Inside the White House, some of Mr. Trump’s top lieutenants have expressed frustration about a perceive slowdown in the adminstration’s attempts to force conservative cultural changes on academia.
