Silly adult who obsesses over sports entirely too much. I teach high school on the side. Trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. Live in Indy, born/raised in IL which means Cubs/Bears/Hawks/Illini. NeverTrumper.

Nuggets just need to accept this as the β€œWestbrook Game” and not go down that road again lest they see the dark side of Russ (which was teased tonight)…

I have a trade deficit with the Chinese restaurant near my office. I buy their food but they do not buy anything From me. I've decided therefore to voluntarily pay them higher prices because it will encourage me to cook my own Chinese food.

Not really interested in hearing anyone with the Los Angeles Dodgers talking next week about how important Jackie Robinson was when they all smiled and posed today with a white supremacist trying extra hard to re-segregate society.

If you are under 40, you might not know about Auburn coach Bruce Pearl’s connection to Illinois. While he was on Tom Davis’ staff at Iowa, Pearl tried to implicate Illinois of cheating in the recruitment of Deon Thomas.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.

One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

I miss the days when β€œChristians” cared more about what the Bible says than what Fox News says. Or they cared more about what Christ said and did than what Republicans say/do.

Did I mention I’m a Christian myself? #reconstructing

Saw a LinkedIn post this morning from a person in law enforcement saying they rewatched the Zelensky/Trump debacle. They went on to say Z came in with β€œhis chest puffed out” and DJT/JD rightfully put him in his place. Are you kidding me with this?

Indiana Republicans Move to Ban Student IDs for Voting - Bolts The new restriction, paired with Indiana’s stringent voter ID rules, would make it much harder for many young people to vote in a state that already ranks near-last in turnout.

NEW: Indiana already has stringent voter ID rules... & the GOP is advancing a bill right now to strip university IDs from the list of options you can use.

This would make it much harder for students to vote.

At polling site at IU Bloomington, 2/3rds of voters in November used their student IDs.

Reminder to our troops from General Milley: you took an oath to defend the Constitution, NOT a would-be king. Refusing illegal and unethical orders are rights. As FOTUS moves closer to installing martial law, please remember your oath and your rights #Voices4Victory

lol what

It’s about 160 million in 24 hours at peak. It’s a few dozen in a few minutes at a polling place. This not strenuous for a computer.

According to the President of the NCAA (see below), there are 510,000 athletes competing in NCAA sports. He knows of LESS THAN TEN. They are purposely distracting the religious right with this minutiae while they’re stabbing EVERYONE in the back. He’s a petulant child. www.kget.com/sports/ncaa-...

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.
