It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
NEWS: The NCAA is expected to discontinue team alternate uniforms beginning this season, sources tell me.
Schools would be restricted to just two uniform combinations: Home and Away.
Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.
When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.
They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.
In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.
The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.
We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.
I introduced HR 8591, the No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act, with @RepMGP yesterday.
The bill preserves family farms by allowing farmers to sell their land to family members without paying capital gains taxes. We are losing too much farmland to data center development.
Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

@GabrielCStovall@damonbenning This x infinity. Fueled a passion for hating Texas and the NCAA as a 9 year old that still courses through my veins 17 years later.
@NCAA I know you don’t really care about the product you put out because you make so much $ anyways. But it’d be cool to see a college basketball official stick to the rule book about coaches being ON THE FLOOR during gameplay in 2026-27. Enforce the coaching box. Thanks!
@CoachBillSelf my wife and I are expecting our first child (son) in early May. We don’t want his first year on earth to be without the GOAT at the helm of @KUHoops please stay at least one more year.
