A reminder that the Constitution was not written to restrain the citizens' behavior.

It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

I realize I'm a dude, but there is no reason on God's green earth why a classroom needs to look like the ones below 👇

Just gimme blank walls and desks in rows

More than another reform, what education needs most is people with courage in positions of authority.

You can have the best policies imaginable, but without someone willing to hold the line and make sure they’re enforced, you’re just paying lip service to an ideal you don’t have the fortitude to bring to fruition.

🧵 The One and Only: The wild story of the first—and last—time UAB and Alabama met in men’s basketball.

A game built on bad blood, politics, and one massive 3-pointer.

I was there as a UAB student. My car was there. Only one of us escaped unscathed.

Here is how I am navigating youth sports as a parent to four kids:

The 2015 & 2016 UAB football teams could have beat this team coached by Trent Dilfer.

[Kevin Scarbinsky @KevinScarbinsky]

In 6 years under @CoachBillClark, @UAB_FB never lost more than 2 straight games.

In 1 1/2 years under @DilfersDimes, the Blazers are on their second 4-game losing streak with a trip to unbeaten Army dead ahead.

[Kevin Scarbinsky @KevinScarbinsky]

FINAL: Tulane 71, UAB 20

✅ Most pts allowed in UAB DI history
✅ 2nd largest margin of defeat behind only a 70-14 loss at Southern Miss ('08)

How low can @UAB_FB go? Keep AD Mark Ingram and Coach Trent Dilfer (@DilfersDimes) and find out. It's unraveling on and off the field.

[Kevin Scarbinsky @KevinScarbinsky]

It's a shame they had to see that.

Today, we recognize one of the great founding fathers and the first Democrat who served as President - Honest Abe Lincoln. Though he didn’t write the Declaration of Independence (just signed it) he did make July 4th a national holiday. Thank you, sir. We miss you.
