For those that say that the MAGA movement dies with Trump: did the idea of the "benign influence of good laws under a free government" die with George Washington like many thought it would?
Rare non-golf tweet. It feels like college baseball is “having a moment.” Been seeing a lot of tweets intimating the same after opening weekend.
My fandom has definitely increased over the past ~3 years. Feels like there’s a couple reasons. Curious others’ thoughts.
- Quicker transition for top players to MLB. And MLB’s resurgent popularity.
- ESPN/ESPN+. Can now see a ton of games on streaming.
- College baseball stadiums rock. And it’s a super affordable ticket (as minor league prices seem to have gone through the roof.)
- The regular season is catching up to the popularity that the College World Series has long enjoyed.
- The strength of mid-majors. The big boys still dominate but mid-majors can compete. And, for a lot of those mid-majors, baseball is their top sport (like my alma mater) so you get more alumni interest.
- Non-conference play. Florida State comes to town twice this year to play Jacksonville and North Florida in Tuesday games. Not sure there’s another sport where major schools play so often at mid-majors.
- Three-game series. Gives the underdog even more chances to score the upset. Last year, Cal Poly lost the first two against then-No. 1
What am I missing?
President’s Day is a somber day for me, because I’m thinking about two great American heroes who are no longer with us, one President and one Vice President
Ben Franklin needs no introduction. He was born in the USA in the early 1700’s and went on to become president and invent freedom, currency, electricity, and democracy
Dan Quail is less well known but almost equally as important. He was the youngest VP in American history and is best known for embarrassing doddering old man Lloyd Benson in the Vice Presidential Debate
What do you miss most about these two?
IIhan Omar, while grinning, says Charlie Kirk deserved it and had it coming: "He downplayed George Floyd. and slavery."
"People say he wanted to have a civil debate... It's bullshit."
I want her deported. Immediately.
Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.
In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.
The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response.
This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.

@TheCalvinCooli1 Also “self-anoint” shows some real bias and disdain against kemp. Anyone who has any awareness of US politics knows that Donald Trump is effectively the king maker and “self anoints” basically most Republican primary winners.
