Frankly, LSU is not a university. It is a college football franchise married to a Greek society party circuit.
LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?
SOURCES: Lane Kiffin is expected to accept LSU's offer to become the Tigers next head coach. Kiffin is set to meet with his Ole Miss team this morning at 9 AM CT. As we reported yesterday morning, LSU has been very confident it was going to land Kiffin. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

Problem is, if they did that, they would have to become anti-capitalist, because capitalism at the end of the day is one huge scam. Owners steal the surplus value produced by workers and enrich themselves, which then is used to reshape society through laws, regulations, advertising and PR.

When the Republican Congress under Bush introduced the Medicare prescription drug benefit, they structured it into a pseudo market structure, where private companies would provide coverage, and the federal government would be forbidden from directly negotiating the price of drugs. This was stupid.

Apropos of this, it needs to be noted that, while modern "villainous" aesthetics are, in many ways, derived from fascist imagery - being that a lot of media drew from WW2 movies as inspiration - one can cloak oneself in them without being fascist.
This is exactly the wrong way to do that.

In related news Space Force doesn't deserve to exist until it has some fucking campaign streamers of its own. The Air Force exists because it won the goddamn sky from the Nazis. Space Force is a bureaucratic fiction made real

Neither is particularly likely compared to "this guy was cracked by trauma and then told he or some of his friends were going to be deported, and he broke"
What's more logical?
That the CIA directed one of its assets to perform the perfect false flag?
Or
That a jihadist played the long game by working with the CIA in Afghanistan to gain legal access to the country and then travel 3,000 miles to enact his plan of attacking National Guard soldiers?

And as of today we have a seeming confirmation that, whatever Holsey's level of complicity/culpability or innocence, it was other people outside of his command who gave the kill orders (plural) on the first attack: bsky.app/profile/wesl...
Along with the obvious implications of what amounts to a “no quarter” order by Hegseth and compliance by the commanders of JSOC and SEAL Team

Thomas Massie hates pedophiles so much he de facto killed the Hastert Rule
Now that "government by discharge petition" is a thing and Massie can get substantially more than 50% frequently, there's no real reason to remove him. I think that the position of Speaker of the House is going to get a lot weaker going from here.
