He was given the benefit last night on some fouls.
He set up a pick on a 6-7" guy pushed him in the back as he went by, bending the guy over as Wemby breaks for the basket.

They lob the ball to Wemby, the defender had his hand on his chest as he jumps up to grab ball and he flops back to the ground and they call the push off foul on the defender. But yet he is allowed to push somebody in the back while running a pick using the guy to push off of to help him get to the basket fastener.

I don't like ranking guys that have such a physical advantage over everybody else. Physically he towers over everyone and can move well for that size. That's special for sure but I wouldn't rank him best or at the top because his physical size gives him so much of an advantage.

Guys that are similar size and put up crazy points becuase they work and practice hard to get that edge are the ones Id prefer at the top.

It is way too early to predict his position in the greats list. He will have a hard time staying healthy unless he gets some muscle on him. But physically he is a freak.

As far as Lebron, I'd take Kobe over Lebron.
Luis should be more eligible than TTech QB Sorby.
We are getting another pro player from Europe, so what is the difference if there is elibibility left. The NCAA has created a mess.
I don't see how they reinstate him. It won't be right if they do.
The only way would be the argument that he didn't play in those games and couldn't have impacted the game.
The big oil money donor at TT is on the NIL rules board. He is throwing money out there but is also on the board that is proposing rules and guard rails to the NCAA. He has a loud voice and maybe putting pressure on NCAA.
I first saw this video on IG. I thought it was a flight sim game they way the planes stuck together and made the abrupt pitch up. It looks so unnatural and looks like a video game physics engine trying to figure out what to do.

Bo French or incumbent Jim Wright for Railroad Commissioner?

I voted for Bo French when he ran against Charlie Geren for Texas House. Bo keeps running for other office since then. That makes me a little suspicious. I kinda wish he would keep running against Geren.
But he seems like a conservative guy so I'm not sure who I'll vote for.

Mayes gives me that vibe. Chip has a solid conservative record you can look at. I dont anything about Mayes
This is just stupid. Way to go Trump....great idea. Geez.
Colleges and farm prices wouldn't collapse. He is bought.
The media loves to build you up and then tear you down. It's what they do. The situation Lane found himself in and the decision he had to make aligned perfectly for the media to make him a villain. Once that die is cast, it will take awhile to reverse it.
I can understand OM and OM fans being p!ssed about that comment. But for sports media to be upset over a comment that wasn't untrue. He didn't slander them and call OM racists. He just said it was a challenge to recruit at times with kids not from the south and their family seeing the symbolism at OM.
That same media in the past had clamored for OM to get rid of the flag, Col Reb, etc. So they are a bunch of hypocrites.
Fun Fact for you wannabe.

The actor playing Saul also played Inigo Montoya in "The Princess Bride"
Claire Danes in The Beast In Me was pretty much the same character. Mental issues, anxious, it's like she never had to change characters.

The Beast In Me was good though. Matthew Rhys is great at a creepy character.
I didn't know the state had given that much. Wow. I knew there had to be a catch on him balancing the budget this quickly. There was no-way to have that much tax revenue from increases to cover that.
Has he made cuts to spending at all?
I agree with on removing water at a rate that doesn't deplete the aquifer. We know there are issues currently with water and aquifers. I don't see why data centers should be allowed to tap into them an open system, when they can build a closed loop system. Sure more expensive for them, but they are making a killing and they will continue to grow more and more needing more and more water. I just think it is dumb to use an open system. It's great for the data center because it is cheaper, but not great for those that need the water.
Water for farms is much more important than data centers that have the capability to use a closed system. Farms do not.

Biden drew them to help with prices or either to sell.
Trump is drawing them down at the fastest pace and maybe dry by July 4th.
I can't find if it is being sold on the world market or to settle prices locally. I know its political and to help with prices but i don't like when Dems do it and I don't like it when Trump does it. Especially considering we don't know what is going to happen in Iran.

We didn't actually fly F-22's to China did we? Or is this just for the Alaska stop off and get a photo op.

I can't imagine that would let the Chinese get a reading on the F-22. If so, surely they bolt on some little stubbies onto that would light up the radar or leave a bunch of the coatings off the plane that would light the radar up.
I know the F-35's in Europe that would attach these little vertical stubby things to the root of the wing so that Russia or anybody couldn't get a real reading on their radars. It was designed to make them visible to enemy radar.

More than 70 House Democrats have urged President Donald Trump to keep Chinese cars – and carmakers – out of the US market.

Yep he will lose the GOP every thing if he does this crap. We would not be able to get the blue collar votes if this happened.
Surely this is not even a thought in his head.

Microsoft’sMSFT billionaire founder Bill Gates is financially backing the development of sun-dimming technology

This is the absolute dumbest thing. Complaints about global warming due to man made CO2 (which is false) but man actually trying limit the amount of sun is a great idea. We already have an epidemic of D3 deficiency and how much plant life would this kill. No idea the effects on weather cycles that this would have. It is just idiotic to think that we can control the massive environment of this world.
So why are all these CEO's in tow?
Why is China pulling out all the stops with this arrival?
Seems like China and CEO's are there to cut some deals. Not sure about this. We about to send more work to China.

Massive data centers are being built and planned for west Texas, and I mean bum frick west Texas.

They're being built over the Permian Basin so as to be on top of natural gas for their own energy production. The location must be at the 90 corner of Texas pan handle, SE corner of NM. The Ogallala aquifer reaches that far south.


Victor, that sounds like solid plans and makes them self-sufficient. The idea of having tapping into an aquifer with an open system is idiotic though. I don't understand why an open water-cooling system would be allowed. Water is a serious concern across the country.

I don't want him to stay in Pittsburg. He needs to come on down to the Rangers. Seriously though, I hope he gets on a good team.
Looks like Pratt was the first to withdraw. We were fed bad info.
From Breitbart:
The event had been scheduled for Wednesday, but debate organizers announced on Monday that the event will be canceled due to the absence of all three major candidates, per the New York Post. Reality star Spencer Pratt first pulled out due to a scheduling conflict before Bass announced that she would be traveling to Sacramento to seek funds for combatting the homeless crisis and for the wildfire rebuilding efforts. On Monday, Raman’s campaign revealed she would also not be attending.
