The Democratic-media complex seems determined to get everything wrong about Iran, though few efforts compare with this week’s work to tag the Trump administration with a global energy crisis, writes @KimStrassel

"'I think Dybantsa is the easy No. 1,' an East executive said. 'He's special. There's just so much for him to still grow into.'

'He's the easiest one to see how he gets to No. 1, but the game doesn't come quite as easy to him like it does to some of the truly great players,' another East executive said.

'[Dybantsa] is probably going to be our No. 1,' a West scout said. 'But it isn't settled.'"

“An advance force of special operators, followed by high-end conventional forces such as the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, could take control of the island. This would send a powerful signal to the rotten theocracy in Tehran, deal a mortal blow to the Iranian hydrocarbon economy, and reduce the Iranians’ ability to control shipping in and around the northern reaches of the Gulf. It could also provide a significant foothold for further ground operations. This would require a significant commitment of troops but is likely achievable.”

So much for "they didn't anticipate this."

I should have mentioned that Auburn, Florida, and Texas only have a capacity of 10.8K or less... so filling those arenas doesn't present as much of a challenge for those programsas BYU's 18K capacity Marriott Center which finished #5 nationally in avg MBB attendance this year and is perrenially top 10

Also, Texas is apparently roping off 4K in their "upper bowl' seating and calling it a decreased capacity from the listed real capacity of 15K

Kevin Young’s response to the question about AJ having and “off night”:

“How did he have an off night? He was 7-of-18 from the field, 9-of-10 from the free-throw line, 3- of-5 from three and had 26 points. Not a bad night.”

New @Harvard / @HarrisXdata Poll:

The Hypothetical Congressional Ballot Is Now A Dead Heat.

🔵 50% Democrat (-4)
🔴 50% Republican

Republicans have gained ground from January, erasing the Democratic edge and tightening the race ahead of the midterms.

George Will loathes Trump. But even TDS hasn’t clouded his judgment: he recognizes the president made the right call in striking the regime in Iran.

Be George Will and not a partisan or ideological hack. https://t.co/mQtXytkz2e

Almost all of Iran’s exported oil, and more than half of Venezuela’s, went to China last year.

Iran and Venezuela make up 17% of China’s overall oil purchases.

Remember how we went into the USSR archives after the Soviet fall and found out which American groups, etc. they'd been funding? Getting the opportunity to do so with Iran would be very interesting.
