@ChrisMWilliams Suggestion to target Nkrumah as a Grad Transfer for next season. Body type and mentality are there. Leadership and game IQ will be valuable.

My dear American friends,
We British Christians would get excited when, once a year, Queen Elizabeth would make a mild but sincere reference to the love of Jesus Christ in her Christmas address.
In Charlie Kirks' Memorial service, watched by tens of millions, I just heard:
- Multiple clear presentations of the gospel from men like @robmccoyus and @DrFrankTurek with clear calls to repentance and faith
- Worship songs full of Scripture sung by tens of thousands live and millions at home
- Personal testimonies of lives transformed by the work of Christ and the witness of believers
- Demonstration and explanation of the value of marriage, child-rearing and family
- Calls to Romans 13 for the government to bear the sword for the protection of good and punishment of the wicked
- Declarations of spiritual warfare on the forces of evil and promises to endure no matter the cost
- Calls to be prophets and call the nation to repent
- More Scripture references and Bible readings than I can count
- And a widow publicly forgiving her husband's killer because Christ forgave his killers on the cross.
All of it done before, and by, the most powerful people in your nation and the world.
You guys should be on your knees thanking God for your country. It is a light to the world.
Never stop fighting for it.
To my fellow Christians: Something beautiful is happening because of Charlie Kirk. Both the non-believers and churchless are coming back to church. Be warm and loving to them. Many left church years ago because they saw hypocrisy or got hurt in them. Show them the love of Jesus.
Listening to today’s @IowaEverywhere 2 Guys pod convo, @ChrisMWilliams @Hassel_Chris, it made me reflect on the Tragedy of the Commons and if we’re past the tipping point of fan apathy. TV ratings don’t tell the whole story. https://t.co/gkk8Jbb7lF
Maybe it’s because of the business I’m in, or maybe it’s because I’ve been boycotted myself on several occasions. Or maybe it’s just because I used to drink a lot of beer. Whatever the reason, I’ve been fascinated by the demise of Bud Lite, and the way in which one of America’s most enduring brands managed to destroy decades of good will with a single, boneheaded decision, followed by a complete unwillingness to fix it. What a story.
This week, I sit down with Anson Frericks, a former executive at Bud Lite who had a front row seat to the events that led to one of the greatest marketing disasters in modern history. His new book, Last Call for Bud Lite, is fantastic, and our conversation, modesty aside, is absolutely worth your time. You can watch the whole thing on @YouTube. https://t.co/ctblw9OecP
Spoiler Alert - what happened at Bud Lite was not unique to Anheuser Busch . Over the last decade or so, dozens of companies and corporations have slowly abandoned their commitment to building “shareholder value” in favor of building something called “stakeholder value.” Specifically, with stakeholders like Blackrock, State Street, and Vanguard. Known as The Big Three, these massive institutional investors manage over $20 trillion of American wealth, some of which is almost certainly in your IRA or 401K. They have also led the charge to elevate a long list of causes that focus on DEI, (diversity, equity and inclusion,) and more significantly ESG, (Environmental Social Governance.)
Beneath the marketing debacle at Bud Lite is the story of how The Big Three applied extraordinary pressure to the thousands of publicly traded companies they now influence. Pressure to hire based on color, ethnicity, and sexual preference. Pressure to fall in line with all sorts of climate-related dogma. Pressure to embrace a long list of social justice and environmental causes that have absolutely nothing to do with fairness or meritocracy, and everything to do with elevating a cosmetic agenda around identity, race, and social activism.
What a relief to see America finally awaken from this fever-dream of sanctimony and virtue-signaling. What a relief to see so many companies and corporations finally come to their senses, as they backtrack from so many ill-conceived policies. Hopefully, this excellent book will inspire other business leaders to avoid the mistakes that were made at Bud Lite. Or better yet, encourage them to start listening to the only stakeholders that matter - their customers.
@Mike4Iowa@Nicole4ABI@Brad4ABI Congratulations and well deserved retirement @Mike4Iowa ! It’s been a pleasure to learn from and collaborate with you in support of Iowa’s great businesses.
What appears to be simple railings are actually repurposed WWII stretchers used to carry wounded civilians through the streets of London.
During the war around 600,000 of them were made. After the war, they were transformed into the railings seen around the city today.
For every tackle the Cyclones make this season, @IowaFarmBureau will donate money to @ISU_SHOP, Iowa State’s on-campus food pantry.
Stay tuned to see how much money is raised this season!
It's finally here.
After many requests...
