Reagan was truly king of the dog whistle. You used to have to be subtle about these things.
After this 1983 story broke about Reagan and a Bircher corresponding about MLK being a commie, Reagan perfunctorily apologized to MLK’s family and then went golfing at Augusta National, which notoriously had no black members at the time. www.nytimes.com/1983/10/22/u...

Feeling pretty good about my prediction that multiple teams with eight figure payrolls are gonna miss the tournament. But uh, I didn’t think one of them might be Kentucky
Mark Pope's program spent more on its roster than any team in college basketball — somewhere in the vicinity of $20 million — and is overseeing a disaster more than a month into the season.

This is a five-alarm fire.

Don't forget food prices
“Democrats need to abandon trans rights to win” is a mirror image of the message that WOULD win:

“Republicans ran on affordability, then passed the largest tax hike in history and made your healthcare costs triple. Now they’re obsessing over trans people, like they’ve solved all the real problems?”

This is big time Kansas State shit (complimentary)
Gene Taylor reports that when Chris Klieman came in to tell him he was returing, Klieman told him to call Collin Klein.

Klein told Taylor he was taking the job before they even discussed any terms.

If you need to understand what's happening, this farce is a perfect place to begin.

A broken, unhappy man is being given a fake award he doesn't deserve by a corrupt group looking to bribe him and earn favors. It's meaningless, everything he wants, and it won't matter to him within an hour.
this shit is just beyond parody, man

just to drive home the point. Texas created this map in August. the lower court rendered its decision November. So three months later, a year before the election in question.
The word "eve" is doing a lot of work here in the Court's 'decision'

Spending 41 minutes deliberating and then deciding to kill two men clinging to the debris of their boat is nothing more or less than premeditated murder.

There is no rationale that justifies this. There is no magic sequence of words or arguments that excuses it.

It was cold-blooded murder.

Pretty notable, in my view, that Kagan points out the Supreme Court's pro-gerrymandering decision in Texas is a step-by-step instruction manual for states to draw discriminatory maps while ducking judicial review, and the majority has...nothing to say in response www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The end of the Civil Rights Acts has always been the goal.
Chris Rufo—a prominent anti-DEI crusader—-says the “idea that private companies should be able to prioritize hiring married men w/ families is completely within the bounds of rzbl debate, &…it's absurd that individuals cannot hire whomever they want [ie, discriminate] in their own companies…” 1/

easy to imagine benny johnson huffing asbestos on camera to own the libs
it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
Bring back residential-use lead paint, you cowards.
