@ScottPresler Power and water must be solved. On site, small-scale nuclear and closed water systems can do this.

Once built, these centers don’t deliver large scale jobs and their tax abatements often outweigh the benefit of the abatements without controlling for power/water.

@3YearLetterman The first sign should have been eating waffles at anywhere not called Waffle House, a true American institution. 🇺🇸⚽️😉

@TheAliceSmith I read the Declaration of Independence out loud today with heartfelt conviction.

It is a work not just of genius, but also of a purity of soul that resonates to this very day.

@BuckeyeNatty Third baseman should have yelled ‘Tag’ to let the catcher know he stepped on the base. That’s basic high school stuff.

@johngramlich @CarrollDoherty Does the U.S. proportionally have more mental health issues than any country in the world?

@elonmusk The charges in New York against Trump in the Deutsche Bank valuation witch-hunt are instructive and applicable here. Selective application could easily turn political (either way).

Valuation of many asset classes can be subjective and prone to variance.

@Ohiohshoops And KMart did ‘OK’. Wagler is probably ahead at that same age.

Kudos to Coach Smith of West Muskingum on leading his Tornadoes to state in his first season.

Here’s how many career boys basketball coaching wins the 28 Final Four coaches have—6,601 combined wins!

—Dennis Tucci of @hornets_malvern got his 600th win in the Regional Final last week, good for 22nd All-Time. If you include his 57 wins for the Parkersburg Catholic (WV) girls program in the 80’s, he’s at 657!

—Mark Schlabach of @HilandAthletics has the Most Wins per Season of any coach in OHSAA History with at least 500 wins (22.1).

—Aaron Elwer of @DSJBasketball got his 250th win vs. Kalida last season. If DSJ wins the State Title, it’ll be his 300th win—and it could come against Kalida again.

—Brett Norris of @jagsbballnation began his head coaching career at Delphos St. John’s, racking up 177 wins for the Blue Jays from 1996-2005.

—Josh Hose of Massillon also has 109 wins when he coached the Tuslaw girls program prior to taking over for the Tigers.

—There’s 2 first-year head coaches. Andy Hoying of @PerkinsBasketb1 & Cole Smith of @WestMSports. Hoying was 2012 D4 Player of the Year and State Runner-Up at Jackson Center.

@Ohiohshoops Maysville’s pulled the top of the league game up in the MVL the last couple of years like John Glenn did a decade or so ago with Heagen & Co. I’ll be rooting for a bunch of Blue and Gold today.

The genius of Trump is best understood by looking at the sequence of events in reverse.

He knew that he needed to go after the Iranian regime, and that this would cause the Strait of Hormuz to shut down for some time, until the regime is totally dismantled, as well as the Houthis.

So he first goes after Maduro in Venezuela and gets control of the Venezuelan oil to keep our oil supply flowing. The Venezuelans already have international court judgements against them to the tune of tens of billions of dollars owed the US.

So, we get a regime change and a Venezuela strategically aligned with us ahead of commencing hostilities with Iran. This keeps critical oil flowing to the US during the hostilities, minimizing the economic impact, which keeps the nation from turning against the conflict.

At the same time, Russia and China are deprived of that foothold in our hemisphere, and deprived of Venezuelan oil, sold at deep discounts. Cuba is also denied a vital lifeline, and now the country is teetering on implosion. Russia and China are about to lose a foothold 90 miles from Florida.

And now that oil is no longer flowing from the Strait of Hormuz (also at fire sale prices) China is down a combined 15% of their vital supply. It also hurts China and Russia that we have been seizing the tankers they use in the black fleet, meant to circumvent sanctions.

Iran gets starved.
Russia gets starved.
China gets starved.

We have the flow of Venezuelan oil prepositioned before we fired a shot at Iran. And all of that in addition to Trump's restored flow of domestically sourced oil.

45 years ago my political science professor saw the vesting of the President with all the powers of Commander-in-Chief as a useless vestigial structure held over from when the Framers looked at George Washington and felt the two to resided harmoniously in him. He thought that there were no presidents really up to the task, with Washington, Lincoln, and FDR being the rare exceptions.

I think it safe to add Trump to that list. He not only sees the tactical dimension, but sees the global strategic vision as well.

And he has three years left to go.
