Chancellor Jeffrey M. Atherton says he could not rule on the divorce of a couple in their 60s because “With the U.S. Supreme Court having defined what must be recognized as a marriage, it would appear that Tennessee’s judiciary must now await the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court as to what is not a marriage, or better stated, when a marriage is no longer a marriage.”
Chancellor Atherton added “The conclusion reached by this Court is that Tennesseans have been deemed by the U.S. Supreme Court to be incompetent to define and address such keystone/central institutions such as marriage, and, thereby, at minimum, contested divorces.”

Meanwhile, over in Alabama, as reported by the Dothan Beagle; Olivia Reynolds found guilty of 24 counts of voter fraud.
Houston County is just south of Dale County where the old home place is.A Houston County jury found Olivia Reynolds guilty Wednesday afternoon for her role in a voter fraud case.
Assistant District Attorney Banks Smith said the jury found 66-year-old Olivia Reynolds guilty of 24 felony counts of absentee ballot fraud. Smith said the jury deliberated for less than an hour before returning with the guilty verdicts.Houston County Sheriff’s investigators arrested Reynolds in May 2014. She was one of three women charged who worked on the 2013 campaign for District 2 City Commissioner Amos Newsome.
In the August election, Newsome beat challenger Lamesa Danzey by 14 votes. Newsome received 119 of the 124 absentee votes that were cast. Danzey received more votes than Newsome at the polls..

Good morning again Hamsters. Morning sun has slipped away some and shares the scene with clouds that seem to be increasing. There is rain in the forecast…
The funeral for Deputy Goforth was loving, respectful, comforting, and uplifting in such a time of great sorrow. Thanks to everyone who attended from near and far, to those who lined the streets in respect and honor, and to those who watched and wept on the tube. And thanks to those who donate to funds for the family.

HEADLINE: Other People’s Dollars, and Their Place in Global Economics

Second, we learn that what right-wingers call currency “debasement” — a decline in a currency’s value in terms of other currencies — can be a very good thing. Canada was able to combine spending cuts with strong growth in the 1990s because exports were raised by the depreciation of the loonie. Australia rode through the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 with little damage thanks largely to a falling Aussie. In both cases times would have been much tougher if the countries had been using U.S. dollars, or worse yet been on the gold standard.So let me get this straight: Devaluing or debasing the currency, which means it takes more of it to buy the same thing, also known as inflation is a good thing? Doesn’t that effectively rob people of the buying power of thier savings all for the notion of politicians not being able to live within thier means?

What would really be cool is if that little droid thing would transmit back what it saw to the phone. If the operator could do things like zoom in/out, pan right/left/up/down and take pictures/video/sound recording.
How about if it could project a picture on the wall and transmit the voice of the operator. A true droid drone thingie. .wow, it’s like I’m getting deja vu all over again or sumptin. . .

My timing was perfect this morning. I got 1 1/2 hrs of light yard work done – clipping mostly — then saw that rain was imminent. Got my metal tools inside just as the first fat drops fell. Didn’t last long, but it was a hard rain so everything got wet, and maybe more later.

I’m helping AB with the care of my granddaughters this weekend. Li’l Darlin’ is trying to skip the crawling stage but going directly from sitting in my lap to darn near running across the room as I hold her hands. She loves her walker, and Sunshine won’t go near her due to run-over toes. LD2 gets some speed in that thing!
I had LD2 on the floor – standing, of course – and I swear she was trying out standing on her own. Most babies kind of get it gradually, but this kid was intentionally letting go of my encircling arms and legs to try standing on her own two feet. It wouldn’t take long before she reached for a steadying hand, but then she’d let go and wobble some more, getting the feel for the pull of gravity.
I have a feeling that she’s going to be hitting a few milestones early.
PS: She was born in mid-January.

We have yet to figure out why Wisconsin and Alabama play a preseason game in Arlington of all places. Most likely reason has to be $$$.
Briefly looked in shortly after 9 and was not hopeful the Badgers could pull it out given they way they were playing. Perhaps it wasn’t the first stringers since it’s not the real season yet.

This was 46 minutes of good engagement. Margaret Barker stood out to me but Stephen Webb was also interesting if not a bit metaphysical (he’s a philosopher focused on Mormonism and the metaphysics, go figure : )
A good watch.
Among those in attendance were the British Methodist biblical scholar Dr. Margaret L. Barker, prolific author of books and articles that have found great resonance among Latter-day Saint readers, and the Catholic philosopher and theologian Dr. Stephen H. Webb, author of many articles and books, including Mormon Christianity: What Non-Mormon Christians Can Learn from the Latter-day Saints (Oxford, 2013) and, with Alonzo L. Gaskill, Catholic and Mormon: A Theological Conversation (Oxford, 2015).

Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days.

Slate nails it.
Don’t like Trump? Well how bout his closest contender in the polls Ben Carson. While not mentioned in the story Carly is an interesting candidate. Anyway Slate nails it. You too just might want to take these people seriously.
/Establishment candidates and those currently holding office are woefully lagging in the polls.So, the two most popular candidates in the Republican race for president are as different as can be when in comes to personality and style. One is a monumental blowhard billionaire and the other is a diffident brain surgeon. But it’s not the way Trump and Carson speak or the style with which they present themselves that has the base so dazzled. These voters agree with the substance of what these two are saying. And they are both certifiable extremists. Maybe it’s time for the political establishment to reconsider their view that this phenomenon doesn’t amount to anything more than a political tantrum and take these people seriously.
I am still behind Cruz, want Cruz think he is the best choice, but it seems to me the majority of those paying attention right now like the far right messages of the “top two” candidates. I also think we will see our GOP candidate before we (Texas) get to vote in the primary and it will not be Jeb.
-
And something else I have noticed. Back in the LST days there was a certain GOP contingent that swore illegal immigration was a particular southern problem and that fly over country et al did not care. Thus those of us that “worried” about illegal immigration should oughta just be quiet cause no one else cared. I have seen some polls that all across the country illegal immigration is indeed a hot button item. I think it was a huge hot button item back in the day, but yanno how polls can be spun. I was then and I am now convinced that that illegal immigration is a huge problem and the only reason back in them heady days it was not was because the GOP did not want to be bothered with that problem or chance making the Mexicans mad.
I pointed this out a few weeks ago about Trump and I think it applies to Carson they are targeting the traditional GOP base. They recognize that some 4 million traditional “R” voters stayed home last time. Trump Carson are considered extreme but I think the voter base they are establishing holds those same extreme views. Neither give two wits about what is said about them, they both identify problems, the same problems we have blogged about for years, and pledge to attack those problems.

From my sister’s email:
I’m looking forward to hunting season, but I do have an important question:
If I shoot a buck, but I only have a doe tag, can I claim that the buck wasn’t really a buck?
I mean, maybe he’d always wanted to be a doe, but by no choice of his own, he was born with the physical attributes of a male.
Yet on the inside he’d always known he was truly female.I’m just wondering if the game wardens will buy it. Lord only knows, the Supreme Court, all of the media and half of society does.

Well that is interesting what Goldberg wrote. Here let me boil his column down for you…….
Trump is not doing it my way.
With Goldberg we are right back to “what makes a conservative”? Is he qualified? and all that.
Goldberg like so many pother pundits is pissed off because no one is listening to him. So he writes his “I am taking my marbles and going home” piece. I stopped voting because we did not have candidates like Trump, Carson and Cruz (and even Carly) to choose from. I feel like a little kid in a candy store. Goldberg is taking his marbles home because the polite “conservative” (cough cough Rick Perry) has been skunked.
We have Trump for one reason and one reason only, he says what is on his mind and does not care who he makes angry. You can blame conservatives and “R”s for Trump. Trump is truly defying the playbook that the mediots and twitiots are used to. What I think is just absolutely hilarious is Trump IS the vision of what has been wished for in candidates in his brashness etc by so called conservatives and he is considered a pariah.
I want Cruz but I like Trump because he is not a politician. He is a citizen running for the highest office in the land. I think that resonates and one more thing………..I have been told by some my friends in LST and here on the couch that the American electorate usually knows what’s best and corrects mistakes. Well guess what. We got Obama and it could well be that Trump is the correction to that mistake. So much for the wisdom of the electorate……………………….. no?

#61 – AWESOME news!
And it couldn’t come at a better time NOR from a more favorable direction!!!

I am not a moron.
I know what a conservative is.
Trump may be entertaining, but he is not a conservative. -
I am not a moron.
Never said you were
I know what a conservative is.
Never said you didn’t
Trump may be entertaining, but he is not a conservative.
I am just pointing out that he sounds a whole bunch like what conservatives have been wanting. Yet a whole bunch of professed conservatives are just beside themselves about Trump.
I am just indulging in a whole bunch of schadenfreude over the reactions against Trump. I ain’t defending him either.
-
If you think Goldberg is a whiner, well just have to disagree.
-
This is what caught my attention from Goldberg
But if it’s true that politicians can disappoint, I think one has to say that the people can, too.
And when I say “the people” I don’t mean “those people.” I mean my people. I mean many of you, Dear Readers. Normally, when conservatives talk about how the public can be wrong, we mean that public. You know the one. The “low-information voters” Rush Limbaugh is always talking about. The folks we laughed at when Jay Leno interviewed them on the street. But we don’t just mean the unwashed and the ill-informed. We sometimes mean Jews, blacks, college kids, Lena Dunham fans, and countless other partisan slices of the electorate who reflexively vote on strict party lines for emotional or irrational reasons. We laugh at liberals who let know-nothing celebrities do their thinking for them.
Well, many of the same people we laughed at are now laughing at us because we are going ga-ga over our own celebrity.
He basically called the electorate ignorant sluts trotting to the shiny object. And there is this…
If I sound dismayed, it’s only because I am. Conservatives have spent more than 60 years arguing that ideas and character matter. That is the conservative movement I joined and dedicated my professional life to. And now, in a moment of passion, many of my comrades-in-arms are throwing it all away in a fit of pique. Because “Trump fights!”
Well guess what Jonah even you called for “fighters” and pointed out all the limp wrist light in the loafer self label “R”conservatives.
I liked it when he bemoaned Perry getting tossed for a misstep then congratulated Trump for now declaring he is pro-life. Here is a bit of news Jonah Perry was a devout Democrat at one time his own self.
Yes Jonah is whining and tossing the “base” under the bus because they are not following his ideals. Hmmmm seems I have caught flack for making the same observations that people are fickle. Maybe the electorate is finally getting around to holding the “R”s feet to the fire as they have so often screamed for years and years.
Nope rather than trying to reason with his readers he is taking his marbles and going home.
-
Just a short aside
Not so much here but elsewhere I have been very active in promoting Cruz. I believe in Cruz and his message to me he is the whole package. I catch hell form all quarters. But that is okay. -
The National Establishment Rino Review.
Don’t care what they say anyway.
-
Shannon:
The problem with Goldberg, et. al. is that while they persist in protesting that Trump is not conservative, the guys that they keep promoting and the guys that the Republican establishment keep supporting aren’t conservative either. As long as they continue to push Jeb, or Chris, or Lindsey, or some other inside the beltway guy people are gonna keep flocking to Trump.
At this point I’m pretty much convinced that the Republican leadership would actually rather lose the election (albeit by a small margin).
-
I don’t have a quarter.
I don’t claim to have incite on the people that are telling pollsters they support Trump, but I have to believe at least a portion feel as I do, Trump will fade out, but we’re enjoying the hell out of the e-squirms. While the Goldbergs of the world still want to talk “electability” and percentages all serious like we know the game is rigged and it is rigged against me. By God’s Good Grace I was born into the biggest baddest red state in the union, but by the time my turn comes, my guy won’t be on the ballot.

If a pollster calls me, I’m telling them I’m a Trump supporter who voted BHO last time. Hehehe

Buhwahahahahahahahahahaha

I’ll be back later. I gotta clean the coffee of my comp screen
-
I don’t know what “base” is rallying around trump.
But it isn’t any conservative base that Jonah and I are part of. -
I have no disagreement with you fat albert. None at all.
-
Heh
That is my point about JonahHe all but says it is the “R”conservative base that that is acting like little school girls over Trump. And i agree with him there.
(GOLDBERG SAID) If I sound dismayed, it’s only because I am. Conservatives have spent more than 60 years arguing that ideas and character matter.

I give up on trying to have a conversation.Oh well. Back to one liners.

Hey I am just talking to ya. I have not attacked you or nothing. Just making observations about Jonah. He does not like Trump. I got that. But he does not like it that anyone could be attracted to Trump. Sounds like the same criticisms of the Luap Norians.

Senate Surrenderer Stenchy Mac and House of Ill Reputer, Bartender Boner are the two biggest reasons for Trump’s rise.
I believe when many voters look at Jebbuh and Jelly Roll and Oops tRick and Limpsey and the all the rest of the career politicos they see the lying, bacstabbing, gutless mugs of Orange marmalade Boner and Stenchy Mac staring right back at them.
The last midterm election has a whole boatload of voters telling the R establishment to go flock themselves.

Shannon:
(GOLDBERG SAID) If I sound dismayed, it’s only because I am. Conservatives have spent more than 60 years arguing that ideas and character matter.
And (with the exception of Ronald Reagan and the odd Congress critter that slips under the door) the Republican establishment has spent the last 60 years demonstrating that they actually want bigger government, higher spending, more government control. They’ve also proven time and again that they don’t believe their ideas matter and they have on character at all.
The really sad thing is that all it would take to disarm Trump is the Party starting to push an actual conservative. Anybody with an IQ of more that 45 or so should see that. The fact that they don’t is what convinces me that they don’t really want to win.
-
Yep, we always get this point in the primary season, then as it draws on toward voting time we always get to the point the Jonah Goldbergs tell us we gotta support the Dole/McCain/RMoneys cause, you know, they’re electable.
I like Goldberg, I like NR, I like Hugh Hewitt but how many cycles of this does it take? Blow it up!!
-
If the GOPe manages to force another rino on us I’m not voting; or that is my position right now.

They have done all they can do to burn Cruz down. That speaks volumes about the “R”party and why people are flocking to the likes of Trump.

Greetings to all, I hope everyone has been well! I have a prayer request for my 13 year old niece (Madison) who has been battling a rare form of a very aggressive bone cancer (osteosarcoma) for the past year. She had surgery a few months ago to remove her right femur and knee, and everything was going great until about 2 weeks ago when new scans showed the cancer had metastasized in her lungs. She had surgery on one lung on Thursday and will have surgery on the other lung in about 3 weeks. So all prayers are truly appreciated. On a more positive note, my 6 month old grandson had his first heart surgery at Texas Children’s back in June to plug the large hole in the bottom of his heart, and that was very successful. He may need open heart surgery to repair his aortic arch, but he’s doing so well that they are not rushing into anything. They might do another angioplasty first to see if they can fix it that way. Anyway, that’s the medical update on this end. Otherwise I’ve just been working a lot. Thanks again for the prayers, my best to all of you.
God Bless!
HS (aka Rob)

Obama Supporter Gives Cop Attitude, Gets EXACTLY What She Deserves.
When Isaac returned to the car to give King a ticket, he politely asked the young woman to role down her window. She refused repeatedly, so he asked her to exit her vehicle.
King replied that thanks to Obama, she doesn’t need to do what a cop says, and she began to roll up her window.
Without missing a beat, Isaac then reached in and shattered the window. He then pulled King out of the car and arrested her.
“I forcefully pulled my arm back and broke the window due to the defendant’s blatant disregard to all of the orders that were given to her, and her attempt to close the window on my arm,” Isaacs wrote in an arrest affidavit.
The officer charged King with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer — one count of resisting with violence, and a second count for resisting without violence. Of course, she has since filed a complaint against Isaac.
All she had to do was show a modicum of respect and follow the Officer’s orders,….sadly this is the typical Obama Voter,…….SIGH

The dead tree version of the Comical today has a write up on the fiasco in Waco. It is starting to look like a circling of the wagons to protect the cops who grossly over reacted. The cover up is almost as bad as the event.
The cops/prosecutors have to release all the video evidence as well as the ballistics information. They will have to do this eventually and before any trials commence. Continuing to hold non flight risks with excessive bail violates the Constitution.
The powers that be in Waco are heaping judgement on themselves.
If they aren’t careful, the RICO statutes may come into play. -

That Waco biker shootout thing has been stinking up the place for some time now. I believe that the plan is to eventually have all the arrested bikers plead out to something – anything – because if they have even one case that goes to trial they will have to disclose evidence. My best guess is that all of the people killed were shot by the police in what amounted to a turkey shoot. Waco prosecutors are using the Obama transparency definitions in this case by refusing to release evidence and it really does smell.
-
A story I read some time back stated that the bail was $1MILLION and that to get out you had to sign a release stating that you would not sue. I believe that such a statement would fold up and blow away at the first hearing due to the obvious duress involved.
There needs to be some serious jail time for the cops involved. . . .
based on what we know so far. -
Lovely Daughter is on her way home. LD2 has gone into high-maintenance mode this weekend, crying unless she is being held. I think it’s because her Mommy is not here. Mommy knows her signals better than I do. Sunshine is having moments of not wanting to share Noona with her sister, which has created a few moments of friction and humor. The fake tears Sunshine tried to generate were cute. Aggie Beau does better with Sunshine, so he took her yesterday afternoon and they went to Lowe’s and other errands. I took LD2 to the mall for a change of scenery and to get her calmed down. We walked through the mall, she charmed the pants off everyone, and we shared her first slice of pizza.
We came home to find AB and Sunshine cooking in the kitchen, and having a little dance party. LD2 was in a better mood after her trip out, even trying to sing along with the radio on the way home – which is surprising because this is NOT a car friendly kid!
This morning was rough – LD2 was again in cry mode. We took the girls to Lowe’s again. AB wanted to put some new pipe wrap on the stairs to the sunken living room, in preparation for LD2’s anticipated walking mode. It worked well to protect Sunshine from bumps and bruises as she became more self-sufficient in her locomotion. LD2 did quite well, and Sunshine and I went to the garden center. She picked out a plastic pot and couple of succulents to make a surprise for Mommy when she comes home. We also got some outdoor flowering plants.
When we got home, Li’l Darlin’ got her lunch and I stripped Sunshine down to her diaper and we went outside and got dirty. She insisted on using her hands to put the potting soil in place, so of course that smeared dirt from her toes to her chest and up her arms. Once we got the succulents potted, we put the two flowers in the bed next to their garage. I dug the holes, and Sunshine “helped” me put the dirt back in the hole. Well, hers mostly landed on the sidewalk. And on her. Intentionally. By now, she had dirt from head to toe, so when I got the garden hose to water her new flowers, I watered her, much to her delight. After hosing down the toddler, we came inside and she had her lunch. By now, LD2 was being put down by AB.
So now, both babies are down for their afternoon nap. AB has gone to lunch with another adult. I’m sitting here, waiting for clothes to come out of the dryer and finish packing up my car. I might even get a little bookkeeping done. Lovely Daughter is on her way home. When she gets here, I’ll be heading back.
Carrying both babies around, up and down stairs, has been difficult on my back, which still isn’t 100% back from the last relapse. But it’s been so worth it. I love my grandbabies! There’s just something about the way they light up when they see me (especially Sunshine) that makes every trip up here special.

Headshaker, so sorry to hear about what your family is going through. I pray the Lord gives all of you the strength you need to make it through these challenges. I pray for healing – spiritual, physical, and emotional – from all of these issues.
God bless you all.

This was wrong. The two players probably guaranteed themselves a life of poverty and/or prison.
That being said, I don’t think it happened in a vacuum. The article has this:Two other John Jay High School players were ejected from the game shortly before the incident, the newspaper reported.
I don’t know if the ref was bought and paid for and the other team got wind of it, or the thugs were simply giving honkey pay back for ejecting 2 other thugs.
At this point it could be one or the other or both at the same time. -
I find it doubtful that Mason could raise $100 to pay off the refs given what I know about small central Texas towns. San Antonio thugs may be another story though. I’m a little more inclined to just have the John Jay folks forfeit all their games and cancel the rest of their football season. If the players involved are any good they can always play for Oklahoma, but I would imagine that their lives of poverty and/or prison were already predetermined before this game came along. Hopefully the ref involved will go ahead with battery charges against the players and allow them to jump start their experiences and careers with the criminal justice system and get a leg up on their class mates.

In the home stretch from next March through October, it takes a good 50 state organization to win a presidential election.
From your list, there are only three I see who have that and the requisite money to run it – Cruz, Bush, Rubio. The rest, and probably Bush, will be long gone by then anyway. Carly will continue to hang around waiting on the VP spot.
The question is whether Donald wants to follow this thing to its end or is he the reputed stalking horse for Ted ? If Trump survives into next spring, he’ll have people falling all over themselves to organize. Or he comes out and says he has cleared the field and accomplished what he really wanted to do in the first place and that is getting a true conservative nominated. Honestly, I don’t think a guy like Trump would enjoy being president at all.

It’s funny how two different people can read the same article and get 2 different impressions:
Two other John Jay High School players were ejected from the game shortly before the incident, the newspaper reported.
I simply assumed that the whole team was a bunch of thugs who had never been taught the difference between a game with rules and a street brawl. Or possibly a bunch of ill-disciplined, spoiled brats, unused to an authority figure who said “no”.
Regardless – given that there were multiple incidents by multiple players on the same team – I’d be inclined to side with the referees,
absent hard evidence to the contrary. -

Read the San Antonio Express News article in the City/State section of today’s Chron that gives better info. Anyone who has seen the video of the attack, and that’s precisely what it is, knows it was no accident and done with malice aforethought.
IMHO the two young thugs who did this have just wrecked their football futures for college and beyond. Let the consequences of it be a meaningful learning experience.
The referee wants to press charges, and he should.

Absolutely! Can you imagine him trying to put all of his business dealings in a blind trust?

I still believe The Donald is a stalking horse for a true conservative candidate, by design or by happenstance.

That too. How about compulsory forfeit?
-
Here is the video. It was blatant. The idiot kids didn’t even try to make it look like an accident. The players should be suspended from all athletic activities permanently and the team should forfeit the season.
-
#126 & 128 – WOW – I had not seen the video – ANY coach with an ounce of self respect would’ve had those 2 THUGS ejected and removed from the team PERMANENTLY even before the whistle had time to blow on that very play.
IMHO it’s grounds for a total forfeit of THIS season and ANY subsequent seasons until the entire coaching staff is run out on rails
-
#125 FA: You could be right and the whole team is a bunch of thugs. If that were the case, why have there been no ref assaults prior to this from this school? The behavior was thugish, one with no concept of responsibility or respect for authority.
As far as punishment goes, no more football or any organized athletics for those two. Perhaps they should spend some time in the Gainsville school for troubled yutes, if it still exists.
There should be some penalty for the coaching staff as well for not instilling some positive values in the players. -

I don’t know if the ref was bought and paid for and the other team got wind of it…
How in the world do you dream this stuff up ? Good grief.

#134: Do you remember a NBA referree named Jake O’Donnell (not sure of the last name spelling) his calls were so consistently bad against Hakeem Olajawon that Rudy Tomjonovich had him called on the carpet before the commission and he never called another Rockets game again. I think that was the end of the career.
If you read what I posted about the assault on the ref, you will see that was offered as a possible scenario, not in any way definitive. Are you saying that buying a referee is simply not possible?
I have never even heard of something that bad happening in a vacuum, something must have triggered it. That in no way excuses the behavior. -
#125 BC:
why have there been no ref assaults prior to this from this school?
Uh. . . . . how about – it’s the first game of the year?
Even better, who cares? There is no conceivable set of circumstances that you can propose that could possibly justify such behavior. Even if the referees were demonstrably crooked, a violent, physical assault would still not be the proper response.
And, frankly, the implication that the referees were taking bribes is baseless and way beneath you.
-

I agree and I never said it was. I never said that the refs were taking bribes, I suggested it as a possibility – big difference.
There is a whole lot wrong with the whole thing.
Is it possible that this is yet another manifestation of the “black lives matter” insanity? One of the players was black and I was not able to determine the other. Perhaps it is another twist on the knockout game.
We don’t yet know all the facts. -

Yes.
We are saying exactly that.

“There was a secret meeting after the PTA last week where we all took up a collection to buy off the ref in the Homecoming Game, but the other team got wind of it and decided to beat up the ref instead of reporting it to UIL.”
Yah.
That could happen.
-
I never said that the refs were taking bribes, I suggested it as a possibility – big difference.
Yes. It is also possible that they have been taken over by mind controlling aliens from Arcturus. Or maybe the North Koreans have brainwashed them. It’s also possible that we are all simply part of the Matrix and what happened is simply a software glitch. Lots of possibilities. . . .
How about we shave this one with Occams razor and simple assume (absence evidence to the contrary) that we simply have a team with two (or more) reprobate thugs.

As it turns out, my brother’s step son, a high school football coach in west Texas, knows the coaches at John Jay, and in fact the JJ head coach worked for him as an assistant. He says the coach really wants to work with these inner city kids to try to help them amount to something and would in no way condone the activities of these two thugs. So, the summary is that the coach is probably not a bad actor, meaning that the thugs on the field bear sole responsibility for their behavior. I still think any opposing team on the John Jay schedule should simply refuse to play them if they are not required to forfeit their entire season anyway. Of course, in black lives matter land and in Obamaville, this is probably a plus to their street cred rather than a minus.

After watching this nation elect Obama twice, I truly believe just about anything is possible anymore.
I will say that all those people who would sincerely vote for Donald Trump will be thoroughly disappointed in the vast difference between Trump The Candidate and Trump The Politician. This is a purely transactional human being who operates and calculates coldly on the deal. That is fine and admirable in the business world, however, Trump’s internal calculus will trade principles and ideas like bonds and buildings to achieve what he wants. If the laws and governance we create are, or at least thought to be, the highest expression of our civic morality, then its parts will become currency like all other assets of the American people.
Trump may please people by standing up to pompous journos and inflated cable news talking heads, but what’s he going to do, really, when he is in office ? Somebody tell me why all the sudden he is the messiah. I watched the Democrats do this with Obama and I don’t like seeing the other side do the same.
And I am someone who doesn’t think he can even go to the voting booth unless the name on the ballot is Ted Cruz.

Yes, I remember that whole episode with Rudy and the ref.
Here’s the essential difference:
If the NBA referee was being paid off, it was because there was millions of dollars in legal and illegal betting as well as contract incentives and player and coach career stakes on the line for those games.
In Mason, Texas the highest stakes over a country high school football game couldn’t amount to more than 210 dollars and 43 cents. Nobody’s going to payoff a ref because there wouldn’t be enough left over to buy even a case of beer.
It is all about understanding perspective.

Welp it is like I told Shannon all this is a bit of schadenfreude pie for me.
For me it is No Cruz……. No vote.

Working on the boy’s basketball team as a score/stat keeper, I saw some truly bad refs and wondered if they were paid off or just simply biased.
The worst call I ever saw? A 3-second ‘in the lane’ call on one of our players. Because he HAD RUN ACROSS THE LANE 3 times. The ref added each second the player was in the lane as he crossed over until he got enough to blow the whistle.
I don’t think anyone in the gym had a closed mouth as we tried to comprehend that call. Seeing a whole gym audience agape was quite an experience.

“What we are starting to see is the largest surviving stone monument, preserved underneath a bank, that has ever been discovered in Britain and possibly in Europe,” Vince Gaffney, an archaeologist at Bradford University who leads the project, toldThe Guardian newspaper. “This is archaeology on steroids.”
The evidence was found beneath 3 feet of earth. Some of the stones are thought to have stood 15 feet tall before they were toppled.
(snip)
“The extraordinary scale, detail and novelty of the evidence produced by the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project, which the new discoveries at Durrington Walls exemplify, is changing fundamentally our understanding of Stonehenge and the world around it,” Neubauer added.
“Everything written previously about the Stonehenge landscape and the ancient monuments within it will need to be rewritten,” Paul Garwood, an archaeologist and lead historian on the project at the University of Birmingham, told CNN.

If I sound dismayed, it’s only because I am. Conservatives have spent more than 60 years arguing that ideas and character matter. That is the conservative movement I joined and dedicated my professional life to. And now, in a moment of passion, many of my comrades-in-arms are throwing it all away in a fit of pique. Because “Trump fights!”

It was so cute after LD had been home for a bit, Sunshine suddenly said (in that little toddler voice) “Fowers!” So we gathered her Mommy and took her outside to show LD the potted succulent pot first. “Soprise!” Sunshine said. “Say ‘tadaa’,” I suggested. Sunshine opened her arms in the general direction of said pot and said “Taaa!”

Kim Davis, the Democrat Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses because of religious objections, was ordered to jail for contempt of court last Thursday. She suggested a compromise of removing her name from the licenses, but Federal District Court Judge David Bunning wouldn’t even grant that reasonable compromise.
Contrast this with Cathy Lanier, chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, refusing to issue concealed weapons permits to people unless they can arbitrarily show a “good reason,” nothing required by law. A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction in May stopping her from denying the permits, although notably he did not send Lanier to jail for contempt.
Similarly, county sheriffs in California had been denying concealed weapons permits to applicants who failed to show a need beyond self-defense. Last November, the Ninth Circuit ruled that the sheriffs were violating the law. None of those sheriffs were sent to jail, despite the fact that people around the country have died unable to obtain a permit to carry concealed.
Why Isn’t the DC Police Chief in Jail for not Issuing Gun Permits?
