This issue encapsulates the entirety of the Trump presidency and the entirety of Trump's outlook on the world. He's demonstrated his life-long belief that there are NO rules for me and rules for thee. Fixed it again.

If the Trump administration has proven one thing it's that there are NO rules for me and rules for thee. Federal subpoenas carry, apparently, no weight whatsoever for the former Republican party. If anyone thinks this is good for our country, they're wildly mistaken. Fixed it.

I hope Biden gets some credit for having helped avert a rail strike that would have been an economic disaster.

Yes, bro. And I'll add this: the coaching staff has some insight that NONE of us have. If they choose to continue to pursue Flowers, they've got a reason. I wish them well. I think 5 years in you can't really say "trust the staff" with this stuff. Ewing's never brought in a top 20 recruit. Why anybody thinks a top 20 recruit would want to play for Ewing over pro leagues and teams like UNC/Kentucky, etc. - boggles the mind. Wasn't Aminu a top 20 recruit? Even if so, though, can't say I disagree with this.

Isn't this basically the same argument made by the Muslim terrorists to spread the word? Truly revolting.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New York judge overseeing a tax fraud case against the Trump Organization on Monday rejected any effort to delay next month's trial, acknowledging concern that former President Donald Trump's company might be trying to "stall" the criminal case. At a pre-trial hearing in a New York state court in Manhattan, Justice Juan Merchan warned against delaying tactics, even as a Trump Organization lawyer said the decision by longtime chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg to plead guilty changed how the defense will present its case. "One of the accusations is the defense is trying to stall," Merchan said. "It's starting to feel that way a little bit. ... I am repeating. We are not delaying this trial. It's starting Oct. 24th and we're going forward." Prosecutors charged Trump's company and Weisselberg in July 2021 with scheming to defraud, tax fraud and falsifying business records for awarding "off-the-books" perks to senior executives. The Trump Organization, which manages golf clubs, hotels and other real estate around the world, has pleaded not guilty and faces possible fines and other penalties if convicted. Stalling is the Trump Way. He can't get away with it everywhere, even if it appears at the moment that he may be successful in connection with his pilfering of governmental documents.

Losers are gonna lose. A federal judge on Monday rejected former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro’s claim that he is the victim of a Biden administration political vendetta, denying his request to probe why he has been charged with criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Navarro asserted that he was selectively prosecuted compared to two other former high ranking Trump White House aides against whom the Justice Department declined to bring charges — chief of staff Mark Meadows and deputy chief Dan Scavino. But U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta found that Navarro failed to make a plausible legal claim. “These are valid differences between Meadows, Scavino, and Defendant that could have led to their different treatment,” Mehta ruled in a 16-page opinion that found Navarro “failed to meet his heavy burden” as part of his request to seek records from the government that he says show he is being unfairly or wrongly prosecuted. Unlike Navarro, attorneys for both Meadows and Scavino engaged in talks with the committee for months after receiving subpoenas for testimony and documents last September, and Meadows turned over thousands of communications before ending cooperation. Meadows and Scavino also received nearly identical letters from Trump attorney Justin Clark directing them to invoke any immunities and privileges that typically shield communications of top presidential aides from Congress, Mehta wrote. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/09/12/navarro-selective-prosecution-claim-rejected/Sounds truly identical, doesn't it? Clown a-hole.

It depends on how you slice the data. St. John's has 1 more Quad 4 game than us, but when you add Quad 3 + Quad 4, we have 1 more Q3/Q4 games than St. John's. They're both very bad and the moral of the story is it will likely require Georgetown to go at least 11-9 in the Big East to have a chance at the NCAA tournament.This is always what I harp on. I always want a schedule where if we go .500 we make the tournament, and this year's schedule is not that. I think 11-9 or 12-8 would be necessary for an at large bid given that schedule (of course, the BET results matter too). And those 12 wins would have to include beating some high quality opponents. If you think your team is going to improve throughout the year, there's no reason to do this - it sets a bar that's very high for making the NCAA tournament even if our guys improve. While I think an NCAA bid this year is a shaky proposition anyway, I would have liked a schedule that put our guys in place where even a late run might get us close to an at large bid. With this schedule, if we have a bad Big East start, we are basically out of it barring BET heroics like in 2021. I really do not know who handles scheduling--my suspicion is that our Chief of Staff likely has a major role--but whoever handles it clearly doesn't get it. Ironic, since JT3 always had tough schedules and OOC opponents. Well, Pops always had some tough opponents, but St. Leo's, Hawaii Hilo and Hawaii Loa say hello.

2024 is a big class...the staff is working. The tide is turning...we need to win this season and we have the talent and depth to do so. These recruits want to feel valued and prioritized and the staff is doing that because the recruits are raving about the relationships they have with the staff. I'm eager to see what happens. HoyaSaxa! The tide has to turn, as it can't wash in any further in the direction it went last season.

Hey, Joe, don't forget that some of these same hypocrites are now trying to take credit for the portions of the act that benefit their constituents. Don't let them get away with it.

In all honesty, I had never focused on this form of collateral damage. It's truly beyond sickening.

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! NEW YORK — Stephen K. Bannon is expected to surrender to state prosecutors on Thursday to face a new criminal indictment, people familiar with the matter said, weeks after he was convicted of contempt of Congress and nearly two years after he received a federal pardon from President Donald Trump in a federal fraud case. The precise details of the state case could not be confirmed Tuesday evening. But people familiar with the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sealed indictment, suggested the prosecution will likely mirror aspects of the federal case in which Bannon was pardoned. In that indictment, prosecutors alleged that Bannon and several others defrauded contributors to a private, $25 million fundraising effort, called “We Build the Wall,” taking funds that donors were told would support construction of a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border. The new state indictment comes less than two months after Bannon, 68, was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the House committee probing the Jan. 6 insurrection. ww.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/09/06/bannon-border-wall-indictment/Hopefully they can save a spot for Mango Mussolini next door.

Just in case you haven't figured it out, point guard may be the most important position in college basketball.. No s.... Sherlock. But how many would you like on the roster. 12? Roster balance is important, in case you haven't figured that out. I for one had no knowledge of this. I know this is off topic, but I am wondering if this was addressed at all in Pops' book.

DOJ being "deceived" and "jerked around" just lay terms for obstruction of justice. Former attorney general William P. Barr, who served under Donald Trump, said Friday that there is no legitimate reason for the former president to have taken boxes of declassified documents to his Mar-a-Lago home. In what amounts to his strongest condemnation yet of Trump’s actions in the Justice Department’s investigation of the classified documents, Barr said he couldn’t think “of a legitimate reason why” the documents “could have been take out of the government if they’re classified.” “I am frankly skeptical of this claim that [Trump] declassified everything,” Barr said. “I think it’s highly improbable. “If, in fact, he sort of stood over scores of boxes, not really knowing what was in them, and said, ‘I hereby declassify everything in here,’ that would be such an abuse,” the former head of the Justice Department said. “That shows such recklessness that it’s almost worse than taking the documents.” Barr defended the actions of the Justice Department and the FBI, saying that, for things to escalate to where a search of Mar-a-Lago was warranted, the department must “probably have pretty good evidence.” “But that’s speculation,” Barr added. “I think the driver on this from the beginning was, you know, loads of classified information sitting in Mar-a-Lago. People say [the search] was unprecedented, but it’s also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and put them in a country club.” Barr also said Trump and his team “deceived” the Justice Department. “They were deceived on the voluntary actions taken,” Barr said. “They then went and got a subpoena. They were deceived on that. … The facts are starting to show that they were being jerked around.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/02/trump-fbi-search-classified-documents-barr/Trump: This Bill Barr, I hardly knew him. And people say he was really incompetent [this part would be true].

Reality of that school (from a coach there who coached my son): kids go to class two days one week, and three days the next. Otherwise they are playing sports and travelling to do so almost nonstop. Crazy stuff. I have a hunch that Sierra Canyon is a tad more rigorous than that, but I could be wrong.
