Has distance, perspective, and some off-court drama given Wolfpack fans a brand new view on Dave Doeren? Look, even nü-metal got a reassessment recently, so the same can happen for coaches! But Doeren knows how this market works. The newfound appreciation is real, but fragile.

People who say “things don’t add up” as a defense of Lindsay Clancy aren’t thinking critically.

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Jason Arday shouldn’t be dead.

But he is dead - because he didn’t tell the truth.

And Cambridge University didn’t look for the truth - because he’s black.

And fellow black professors didn’t ask for the truth - because he is black.

Jason lied repeatedly.

And he told the exact lies that allow one to excel in the system that elite universities have adopted.

A system that factors in race, hardship, and lived experience under the banner of equity, instead of pure performance.

Nearly everyone in these institutions ignored Jason’s lies, to try and protect black people.

They called the people seeking the truth racists.

Of course there were some racists.

But the majority of people just wanted the truth.

Avoiding the truth didn’t help black people.

Double standards in academia aren’t helping black people.

They hurt the perception of black people who are truly the best, and would have held prestigious positions at elite schools, solely off the merits of their performance.

Double standards always backfire.

Even when well intentioned.

Even when intended to correct for past oppression.

Race-conscious hiring and admissions have created a situation where it is rational to wonder whether a black person has achieved their position because they were simply the best, or because they were good enough, and black.

This is not a racist thought.

It’s a rational thing to wonder when a system promotes people based on race.

It’s a thing I’ve wondered about myself, as someone who graduated from Harvard - which had race-conscious admissions.

No amount of insistence that it’s racist will make it racist.

It’s no more racist than it would be to wonder whether a white player got into the NBA off of just performance, if the NBA decided to focus on “fixing” the underrepresentation of white people.

This is the logical downside of race-conscious hiring and admissions.

You can think the downside is worth the upside.

But the downside remains.

Calling people with legitimate concerns racist didn’t protect black people.

It didn’t protect Jason.

It hurt black people who have earned their positions.

And it allowed a troubled man who built his career on lies to rise to a height so great that his fall from grace killed him.

We could have just had the truth.

Instead, we have a tragedy.

Dana White says he’s going to match the “fight bonus” the President is giving to the Marine Band for UFC White House performance.

He also said he’s working on releasing an album of the Marine Band performance that night.

Phenomenal!

[Court TV @CourtTV]

The South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions and ordered a new trial, ruling that improper influence by former court clerk Becky Hill compromised the jury during his 2023 trial. Murdaugh, who was convicted of killing his wife Maggie and son Paul in 2021, has continued to deny the murders despite admitting to financial crimes and lying to investigators about his whereabouts. Court TV’s @TedCourtTV has the breaking news.

EVERY SINGLE Republican in the Senate has voted to fund DHS and end these TSA lines!

Meanwhile, Democrats are holding TSA paychecks hostage to play political games. They’d rather see you stuck in line than do their jobs. 🤡

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

.@PressSec: "It's very ironic and, frankly, sad to see celebrities who live in gated communities with private security, with millions of dollars to spend protecting themselves, trying to just demonize law enforcement public servants who work for the U.S. government to enforce our nation's laws.

You didn't hear this same type of uproar from celebrities in Hollywood when the previous Administration allowed an invasion of our nation's borders, and allowed innocent women and girls like Jocelyn Nungaray and Laken Riley to be killed and raped and murdered at the hands of people who should've never been in our country in the first place."

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

It's not that Democrats want deportations to be done lawfully.

They want to stop them entirely.

That's why Newsom committed $50m to fight deportations, before Trump took office.

That's why Mayor Frey won't enforce immigration law.

That's why all the chaos is in blue areas.
