NEW: Billionaire NFL owners can move their teams to other cities or sell chunks of them to private equity.

The Green Bay Packers can’t do either because they’re the only team in the NFL that’s owned by fans.

Now their model is under threat from a league flooded with cash.

What a joke.

Why even have a regular season now ?

[CFB Numbers Guy @secnumbersguy]

Texas has MORE wins against ranked opponents than Miami, Indiana, UCLA, BYU, and Notre Dame COMBINED.

These non-SEC teams at the top really got there by DEFAULT as opposed to EARNING their way to their ranking.

[Swim Texas @Swim_Texas]

Let me get this straight.

Mizzou had:
* 84 yds rushing. 3.5 ypc
* 3/16 on 3rd down
* 2 missed FG
* a muffed punt
* a blocked punt
* Fumble, return by Texas inside the 5

Texas had:
*more* penalties called against, for *more* yards…

Mizzou:
Blames the refs?

Thank you to @FermiAmerica for allowing my @TexasTech @TTURawlsCollege students to visit the site of Project Matador yesterday. We had a great tour and got to see the new @Siemens_Energy SGT-6 turbines arrive on a beautiful day in the panhandle. #WreckEm

Imagine holding the Senate for two years and waking up the morning after you lose it to suddenly discover there are judicial seats that still need filling… and now everybody wants to roll in the cots.

Ron DeSantis said it plain today, "You are not going to be able to confirm any conservative judges starting January 3rd for the remainder of President Trump's term. You cannot leave anything on the table." He is right, and Ryan is right, and yet where was this urgency in January, or in June, or a month ago when these same people were telling you the map was safe and the red wave was in the bag?

Here is the reality. The Senate GOP had the gavel, the calendar and the votes, and they treated the job like a part time gig while the people who sent them there begged for judges who would actually read the Constitution instead of rewriting it from the bench. Every lawfare ruling you screamed about this year came out of a courtroom somebody had the power to fill... and they sat on their hands.

I do not believe last night was real, and you all know exactly where I stand on that, but you do not get to lose the Senate and then also hand team evil the courts on your way out the door. That is the one thing still sitting in your hands.

So John Thune, cancel the recess, keep the lights on, and put every conservative nominee you can get to the floor up for a vote before the gavel changes hands. Nobody goes home. How is this even a thing that it takes a wipeout to get Republicans to do the job they were hired to do?

Think I am wrong? Show me the calendar. End stop.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

@JDVance You missed 2 more extremely important points:

1) Mass deportations
2) No major financial reform of the US budget under DOGE

Both of these items would have brought down costs dramatically and the administration and Congress has failed to deliver on them.

DSA candidate Tim Denson tries to sell the crowd on “democratizing the workplace” and says Walmart should belong to the workers.

Big mistake. The guy 6 ft away from him grew up in Venezuela. And he’s heard this communist fairy tale before.

DANIEL DI MARTINO: “So you want to take it [Walmart] from its owners and have the workers do what?”

TIM DENSON: “I want the workers to own it and get paid better and have better benefits and be able to provide better lives for their families.”

DI MARTINO: “We can buy shares in Walmart right now. In fact, all of the SpaceX workers became millionaires overnight.”

“You can start a workers’ cooperative right now. It’s legal, but under a socialist country, you’re not allowed to own your own property and start your own private corporation.”

Denson tried to refute Di Martino’s point. Then Di Martino dropped this line on him:

DI MARTINO: “It’s very easy to be a socialist in a capitalist country. It’s illegal to be a capitalist in a socialist country. That is the difference.”

[audience applause]

Then it got personal:

DI MARTINO: “When I had to go to the grocery store, Tim, I had to put my fingerprint in a scanning machine so that they would tell me what I was allowed to purchase.”

“And I could only go Mondays and Saturdays because we have to ration food, because that’s what happens when there’s no profit motive and the farmers, their food is confiscated because they had to sell it to the government and everybody else at the price the government tells the farmers.”

“My mom made chocolate bonbons for parties.”

“Well, people have a right to chocolate, so we had a price control on chocolate.”

“So my mom had to buy counterfeit chocolate, put it in black bags as if we were cocaine drug dealers. That’s what socialism was in Venezuela. That’s what worker ownership of the means of production is.”

“Where has it ever worked?”

Denson had no answer. Because there isn’t one.

I need to make a very PUBLIC announcement on behalf of those of us who are 60-something.

If you see a 67-year-old who seems a little boring now, understand something…

WE ALREADY GOT IT IN.

Like…GOT. IT. IN. 😂

We’re not sitting home on Friday night because we never knew how to have fun.

We’re sitting home because WE’VE HAD ENOUGH FUN FOR THREE LIFETIMES.

We went to parties in farmhouses, machine sheds, gravel pits and cornfields. Nobody sent a location because THERE WERE NO CELL PHONES.

Somebody just said, “There’s a party out at Kim’s.”

Kim’s in waupaca?

Nobody knew.

But somehow 75 people found it.

We cruised Main Street for hours with absolutely nowhere to go. Gas was cheap, the music was loud, and somehow 11 people fit into a car made for five.

We drank Boone’s Farm, Old Milwaukee and mysterious concoctions somebody handed us in a plastic cup.

Nobody asked what was in it.

You drank it and trusted the process.

We closed down the bar and instead of doing the responsible thing and GOING HOME…

somebody would yell:

“RED ROOSTER!”

Or…

“LET’S GO TO THE BOONDOCKS!”

And suddenly at 2:30 in the morning, the whole crew was sitting around a table eating eggs, hash browns and greasy breakfast food like we’d just finished a hard day’s work.

Then somebody would say:

“Well…might as well stay up now.”

😂😂

There was no Uber.
No GPS.
No Life360.
No Find My Friends.

There was just somebody saying:

“Follow me. I know a shortcut.”

And for reasons nobody can explain…

WE FOLLOWED HIM.

We made entire weekend plans without sending ONE text message.

“Meet me there around 8.”

That was the plan.

And somehow everybody showed up.

We did stupid things.

We did REALLY stupid things.

And the greatest gift our generation ever received was:

THERE WERE NO CAMERA PHONES.

There are events from approximately 1975 through 1985 that exist only in the memories of the people who were there.

AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHERE THEY NEED TO STAY.

So yes…

Now we’re 60 something.

We like our recliners.
We like comfortable shoes.
We like restaurants at 5:00.
We like being home by 8:00.

And if somebody calls at 9:30 and asks:

“What are you doing?”

The answer is:

“Why the hell are you calling me this late?”

😂

We’re not boring.

WE’RE RETIRED FROM ACTIVE DUTY.

We’ve already closed the bars, stayed out until sunrise, made questionable decisions and somehow lived to tell about it.

So when younger people see us peacefully sitting at home and think:

“Man, you guys are boring.”

Sweetheart…

YOU’RE NOT LOOKING AT BORING OLD PEOPLE.

YOU’RE LOOKING AT RETIRED LEGENDS.

And thank God there isn’t much photographic evidence. 😂😂

From another friend:

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?"
DeGaulle did not respond. You could have heard a pin drop.
When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush. He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those who did not return."
You could have heard a pin drop.
There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?" A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships. How many does France have?"
You could have heard a pin drop.
A U.S. Navy admiral was attending a naval conference that included admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian, and French navies at a cocktail reception. He found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks when a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?" Without hesitating, the American admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies, and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."
You could have heard a pin drop.
AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...
Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready." The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." "Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France!" The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."
You could have heard a pin drop.
I am proud to be an American, and proud of this God given heritage!
