A top Republican in Indiana, whose daughter has Down Syndrome, just announced he will be voting to block Trump’s gerrymandering after Trump used the R-word to insult people yesterday.

Now only did White House pool reporters not stick up for their colleague who Trump repeatedly called “stupid” but you can hear them thanking Trump a few minutes later after he ended the Q&A. Sad stuff.

Trump calls Tim Walz “seriously retarded”
migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation…

Beginning in Summer 2026, I will be one of the co-editors of Journal of Economic History. I will be taking over from Bishnu Gupta, who has done a fantastic job the last four years.

Looking for papers asking big questions. Answers must be convincing, but methodology is secondary IMO

“Those people are incompatible with us and our culture so they must be exiled” is not only about immigrants, but is the *exact* *language* used against First Nations. This is not xenophobia, it’s just plain old white supremacy.

In this season of hyper-consumerism, it is important to note that Black Americans regularly protested establishments that would not treat them equally and promoted those that did. The Green Book Project archives this rich history. greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject

Q: You said this suspect was flown in under the Biden admin. But was he granted asylum under your administration?

TRUMP: Uh, when it comes to asylum, when they're flown in, it's very hard to get them out no matter how you want to do it. But we're gonna be getting them all out now. *slams table*

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

Yes. The contracts usually also require a substantive good faith effort to find another job as long as they’re being paid.

So much “engagement and outreach” is actually missionary work for white supremacists. The constant exposure eventually mutes your internal moral alarms. It’s one reason why the “manosphere” is full of converted misogynist white supremacists. It’s a well known path to the dark side.

It’s likely these coaches get another job so the payout rarely materializes (see the James Franklin Penn State situation for an example), but these are like a MLB contracts in that they’re guaranteed. You could think of alternatives, but (perceived as) good coaches are in the drivers seat these days

It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

In college football, firing a coach without cause generally entitles them to the remaining value of their contract. It’s very expensive. LSU’s attempt to weasel out in Brian Kelly’s case hurts their attempts to replace him. Pay him what you owe him. Move on. www.espn.com/college-foot...
Sources: Kelly officially fired by LSU without cause
The posturing over Brian Kelly's $54 million buyout from LSU is over, sources told ESPN, as the school sent him a letter Wednesday saying it is officially terminating him without cause.

I think LSU hurt themselves by trying to get out of paying the coach they fired. What coach would want to go there given that? It’s just the cost of doing college football business these days.

The depths of male insecurity are endless. Everything from wearing a scarf or beanie to what shoes to wear at the gym comes with some unwritten rule as to whether it’s masculine enough. The most minor things are huge here— it’s depressing.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.
