Legendary Coach Lou Holtz (you cannot say Lou Holtz without the adjective “Legendary”) dies at 89.
Holtz is best known for his 11 seasons at Notre Dame, where he compiled a 100-30-2 record and capped the 1988 season with a perfect 12-0 mark and a consensus national championship.
A real sweetheart of a guy! RIP Lou.
Well, not a Notre Dame fan, at all and I don’t want to piss on a man’s grave. I kind of liked him, but the facts are 4 different institutions came under some type of NCAA scrutiny when he left them. Notre Dame, South Carolina, Minnesota and Arkansas.
Despite being widely respected for his coaching success and motivational speaking, Holtz left every program he coached just before it was hit with NCAA probation, leading to ongoing debate about his legacy and oversight.
Feel free to look it up………..
The Kurds (the poorly treated and constantly betrayed (Oh Sure! We have your back we’ll be right over there if you need us)) have entered the War with Iran.
How about THIS TIME – we don’t burn the Kurds, by leaving them hanging high & dry.
What, and be inconsistent? (sarc)

“Sorry I’m late but it’s Trump’s fault—-again.
I’ve done the math and Trump makes history every 43.4 hours now, LOL…as a result, I ended up with WAY TOO MUCH content.
But I actually it’s gonna work out pretty good— since I had too much content— now I have a head-start on the NEXT episode. So this one will turn around faster.
I wanna thank our PANEL OF PUNDITS TOO HANDSOME FOR TV a new regularly-occurring segment with new guests each show. Let me know if you like the idea – text 615.521.3990
And thanks to AF Branco for doing the cover art for this episode.

“Both parties are Beltway” Pat Buchanan
And they’re both stealing from the taxpayers. They are enriching themselves and their constituents. When will Walz and his AG be thrown in prison? $19 billion in theft and counting.
Time to repeal the “temporary” income tax. Cut the revenue. CUT THE SPENDING on the give-away programs that are being raided.
Develop a real budget. Balance that budget. Pay off the debt.
Up the tariffs. No free money to other countries, including Israel. We don’t have any money. We are the largest debtor nation in the world. The interest on our debt exceeds military spending!
Time to act is now!
This now is about John Cornyn. The RINO’s want him and the President is in a bad place. I’m sure they are dangling the SAVE ACT for him to get behind Cornyn. Sickening to me…………
Where have we seen this before? In Bosnia & Kosovo
“Journalist Seymour Hersh has revealed that the Bush administration secretly trained an Iranian opposition group on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorists. Hersh reports the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command trained operatives from Mujahideen-e-Khalq, or MEK, at a secret site in Nevada beginning in 2005. According to Hersh, MEK members were trained in intercepting communications, cryptography, weaponry and small unit tactics at the Nevada site up until President Obama took office. The MEK has been listed as a foreign terrorist groups since 1997 and is linked to a number of attacks, spanning from the murders of six U.S. citizens in the 1970s to the recent wave of assassinations targeting Iranian nuclear scientists.”
Training Terrorists in Nevada: Seymour Hersh on U.S. Aid to Iranian Group Tied to Scientist Killings
https://www.democracynow.org/2012/4/10/training_terrorists_in_nevada_seymour_hersh
The Iranian people despise MEK, and this report illustrates why.
MEK owns far too many US politicians. (Looking at you, mike pence.)
What the hell is MEK?
Mujahideen-e-Khalq, or MEK, an marxist/islamist jihadi group that masquerades as moderate, which splintered off from the IRGC (Iran Revolutionary Guard Corp) and seeks to seize power over Iran despite being a small minority hated and rejected by the Iranian people.
They’re falsely claiming to be the self-appointed new leadership.
They were listed as a terrorist group in 1997 and are responsible for a number of attacks and murders.
Bad people.
Well there you go the US Senate denied the little worms who wished to play politics while we’re in the middle of a conflict.
Go home Massie and Paul and don’t come back to DC.
War Powers vote didn’t get traction.

Yes it’s a win my friend but look at the slim margin. The issues could not be more clear cut and yet the big club is ready to play prima dona.
I am fast losing hope unless election fraud can be reversed.
Establishment picks Cornyn, who needs fraud?

Just to be different, let us NOT betray the Kurds when they need us (the Calvary) to come to their rescue.

“Watch Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say that we don’t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel while being removed by the Capitol police” …
https://x.com/rawsalerts/status/2029316627272024173
For Israel? How about he gets real and follows the lead of the Commander in Chief.
President Trump isn’t drool bucket Biden.
Shades of John Kerry playing games.
Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness
stood upprotested in Congress .Brian C. McGinnis of North Carolina, was arrested and faces three counts of assaulting a police officer
and three counts of resisting arrest and unlawful demonstration,
the Capitol Police said in a statement.
Good.
A Kamala supporter no doubt.
He was looking for publicity in the classic leftist way, to be a victim.
He’s running as the Green Party candidate in NC for the US Senate.
FTA,
Anti-war protester Brian McGinnis, who also happens to be the Green Party candidate running for U.S. Senate in North Carolina, was festooned in his Marine uniform while he mounted his protest against Operation Epic Fury. McGinnis’s bio indicates he did one tour of duty from 2000 to 2004 before being honorably discharged.

Definitely a John Kerry wannabe and that is sick.
if Trump is gonna dump Blonde, I hope he hedges his bets and does it sooner rather than later. If you think getting a new nominee past the GOP RINO senate will be tough, try getting it past a bunch of commie democrats.
Don’t whistle past the graveyard. The senate will not be easy to keep. Things are lined-up pretty hard against the GOP and then factor-in the point that they may not want to win at all. That’s another discussion…….
Blonde needs to go. She is just playing Trump for as much time as she can, just like Bill Barr did. She cannot do the job in front of her. This is miles over her head and miles past her ethical compass. Just look at her record in FL. It speaks for itself.

When is literally *another government’s compelled-usurpation agent* going to be legally barred from running for/holding any public office in the US???
If one needs to know why the GOP is call the Party of Stupid, this is it.
Democrats Rebuke Colorado Governor After Hinting at Trump Ally’s Pardon
Colorado’s Democratic governor is facing sharp criticism from fellow Democrats after signaling openness to granting clemency to a former county clerk whose conviction made her a hero to supporters of President Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
Gov. Jared Polis suggested in a social media post this week that the nine‑year prison sentence imposed on former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters may have been excessive compared with penalties imposed in other cases, raising the prospect that he could commute her sentence or grant a pardon.
The governor’s comments prompted swift criticism from top state officials, many of whom said Peters’ case is fundamentally different and that any reduction of her sentence would send a dangerous signal.
Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat running for attorney general, called Polis’ comparison “shocking and worrisome,” saying it ignored the seriousness of Peters’ conduct and its impact on election security.
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, whose office prosecuted Peters, said clemency should be based on remorse and rehabilitation — not political pressure.
“Clemency should be based on remorse, rehabilitation, and extenuating circumstances — not on political influence, favor, or retribution,” Weiser said in an emailed statement. Weiser, also a Democrat, is running to succeed the term‑limited Polis as governor.
A Polis spokesperson said the governor remains skeptical of Peters’ sentence compared with punishments imposed in other high‑profile cases but did not indicate whether he plans to take formal clemency action.

He is only trying to keep his name out in the public as he works with Illinois Governor Pritzker to be the President and Vice President candidates for 2028. He needs the publicity and he needs to look like a good guy after all.
Get her out but do not give him any credit. She should never have been charged with a crime in the first place. She should have been celebrated for obeying the law and the other county clerks who just did as they were told by Jena Griswold are the people NOT following the law.
Polis knows this and the Weiser guy and Griswold know what they did was wrong but The Revolution is what matters. To Them.
“Pete Buttigieg in the Wilderness
He has a beard, a splitting maul, and a house in Michigan.
Is that enough to convince America that he’s a man of the people?”

Maybe Pete’s tired of his husband wearing the pants in the family.
Funny story.
A week and a half ago I woke in a cold sweat convinced we were about to attack Iran.
Called a bunch of people in DC. They all said probably not. But I couldn’t get the feeling out of my gut.
Unlike 99.999% of the population I have a Pentagon press pass. So I decided to go find out for myself.
Then @SecWar invited me on a trip to Colorado. Spent all day with his inner team. Got zero indication we were gonna hit Iran. None. And I’m fairly good at reading body language.
I should go home. But I can’t shake it. So last Tuesday I spend all day in the Pentagon.
ZERO indication
By noon Wednesday I’m ready to give up. Zero indication anywhere that Trump is about to launch a major offensive.
I sit in the giant commissary for hours just watching. Nothing. Nobody looks busy. Nobody looks stressed. The place has the energy of a DMV.
Then someone asks if I’ll come to a party on the Hill and help pimp the SHIPS Act. Sure, why not.
So I head over to the Gold Room in the Rayburn Building.
In the hallway I spot a prominent Democrat. I say hello. They give me a steely look.
I know this person from TV but we’ve never met. They walk over and introduce themselves.
We start chatting. Then they say: “I didn’t want to approach because I thought you hated Democrats.”
I laugh. “HATE is a strong word. My wife’s a Democrat. My daughter. My mom. I live in the Berkshires for goodness sake.”
Hating Dems isn’t really an option for me.
“I think most of you are either dumb or crazy or a little of both… but I don’t hate you.”
He nods. “Good. I’m glad you don’t hate any of us.”
At this point I put both hands up and give him the universal whoa whoa slow down buddy sign.
“I didn’t say I don’t hate ANY of you.”
He stops. “Who do you hate?”
“Just one. That %#}%%*# €%}%%} @PeteButtigieg. He screwed over my Merchant Marine. F him.”
The dude spit his drink at me he laughed so hard. Big rolling belly laugh.
Then he said: “Good. We all hate that prick too!”
Regarding Buttgig – this is how I’ll always think of him…
Happy & proud to be a child abuser.
If you haven’t seen this post yet I highly recommend checking it out.
There is so much more going on at present than readily meets the eye, and Sundance lays it out (with some great input from Treepers in the know) in a way that shows just how big a historical shift we’re witnessing unfold right now.
There’s probably never been a more amazing time to be alive.

This news is very disappointing.
Jeffrey Clark gave his letter of resignation to Russ Vought.
FTA,
Highly respected attorney Jeffrey Clark has submitted his resignation from the Trump administration, where he served as Acting Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), a key regulatory oversight office within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

It mentions his stepping back into personal life and heaven knows he deserves it but the administration is the less for his stepping away.
Sad.
“This has been a rough couple days for Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. Testifying before both House and Senate subcommittees, Ellison had no real defense for the charges laid against him. This former congressman helped orchestrate one of the most massive frauds in American history.”
https://open.substack.com/pub/jackcashill/p/ag-ellisons-greatest-fraud-sent-4?r=b7nwz&utm_medium=ios
Ellison doesn’t care unless he is convicted and goes to Prison. He can endure a rough week or two with ease.
He and Walz must go to prison.
Governments hold public hearings and scrutinize and argue over every penny they spend. The autism services expenditures skyrocketed over a period of only a couple of years. Everyone involved in the budgeting process knew of this fraud.

There must be accountability.
He and Walz must go to prison.
Cool…

The fraud in Minnesota is being investigated and uncovered.
One thing that baffles me is that the Somalis were sending millions back to Somalia to fund Al Habaab, a muslim terrorist organization. They sent cash through the airports, through TSA with people traveling to Somalia. What’s up with TSA? I hear of no investigation into them. Millions was sent this way, not once, not twice, many, many times.
Where’s the investigation into TSA. Why did they allow this?
