Is there not one professional journalist with any major news agency that can do this also? Where are they?


The Minneapolis Star Tribune is a mouthpiece for the DFL (democratic-farmer-labor party). They do not investigate any irregularities that affect democrats in their state.

Pretty much true for the national mainstream media.

If you want reporting on this, go to the Powerline Blog website that is run by conservatives from Minnesota.

If we can pull Chambliss and Lacy from an OM team that already won a playoff game…..we 100% got the right guy.


There is no reason, as of now, to believe Chambliss will be granted an extra year of eligibility. He has used his four years. Why do so many think he will get more? The NCAA has no reliable track record to base this on. I would not count on Chambliss.

Certification doesn’t make you a good teacher.

Is this person a poor teacher?

I like Jiffy.

But I really like a recipe we make at home called Virgil’s Cornbread that has corn, jalapeño, cheddar, and cilantro in it. Think it was a recipe on the Food Network if I recall correctly.

Oddly enough, mine didn’t really hurt.
April 25. Was a great day.

Ive got two HS seniors in the house, both of them have applied to Ivies and NE schools exclusively, except for one school in NC. I;m good with it. They have great foundations, and they will face indoctrination regardless of what school they attend.


I think you are severely underestimating the influence of that environment. I have personally seen it first hand in multiple Ivy and upper tier private university kids. I would guess up to 90% succumb to the indoctrination.

An equal education can be had elsewhere. While they may end up with connections that help them financially, they don’t really learn more. A good education can be had at many “lesser” schools if the student actually wants it.

There was a study a number of years ago that looked at the outcomes of students who went to Ivies vs students who were accepted at Ivies, but didn’t attend. Life outcomes were the same. It is the attributes of the student, not the university, that drove the life outcome.
My wife and I have also been detained and had our luggage manually searched in the Atlanta airport. Took well over an hour, not four, and almost made us miss our connection. It is not uncommon for them to want to know about everything you are bringing into the country. They did not search my laptop however.

It’s really not hard at all to be a 10 handicap


Somewhat true, but who wants to be a 10? It takes effort to consistently be below that.

Washington Free Beacon
Went last year. Had an AirBnB or VRBO which was about a one mile walk to the stadium. Glad we walked because I didn’t see any cars moving in the traffic while we walked back

It is a great area. Go to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art if you like art. It’s free if I recall correctly.
The problem is not that they passed only five. The problem is the five they passed suck overall. I would say five a year, that are good, is all you should need if you didn’t already mess everything up in previous years with bad laws.

My preference would be pass five good ones and remove 100 bad ones.

You mean several people have said it. That's how the right wing machine works. One person says it in a YouTube video, then someone else repeats it in a YouTube video. Then it is repeated as "proven," and after a while people like you say ridiculous things like, "This has been proven by several sources." What you mean is that many right wingers have repeated it.


No, it has been traced and documented. You just won’t look into it or believe it. Just keep your head in the sand.

Ilhan Omar's marriage cert to her brother

Right wingers love lying to each other for momentary fake outrage. They do it all day, every day.


This has been proven by several sources. Powerline blog has covered it a lot and others have dug deep into it also. This is not fake outrage, it is a certifiable fact she married her brother to enable immigration fraud.
If people would read the Powerline blog they would have known years ago how corrupt the Somali community, Gov Walz, and the AG Keith Ellison are. None of this is new. The Minneapolis Star Tribune and the more national mainstream press have been knowingly hiding this for years.
If Tulane were true to the values they teach on campus, they would hire a minority woman as coach.
I can say that Parrain’s in Baton Rouge are no longer worth it. They switched from a grill to some sort of broiler system. Not good anymore.

Mansur’s are the best in BR and my favorite of anywhere I’ve had.

Mike Anderson’s are often good, but they are a bit inconsistent.

We have done this for us and for gifts for the kids. It is a good way to get them at a reasonable price. Been using All Clad for 37 years. Haven’t worn one out yet. Except for a non-stick coated pan. That purchase was a mistake. Stick with stainless steel.

The pizza was way overpriced but I went there a bunch because it was good and the location was great.


I only know several people who went there for pizza. All said it wasn’t good at all and that they would not go back. I never tried it because of that.

The location is convenient for me. Would be nice to have a place there that is worth going to.
Well, he got it half right. She did marry her brother, but it was to get him in. She was already here.

She should be deported for committing immigration fraud.
