I’ve said this 1000 times, but it always bears repeating…

The only way to get big money out of politics is to get politics out of big money.

This is a very predictable consequence of having a government that is deeply entwined with commerce…not only in terms of the public sector’s direct share of our GDP, but also in the way of other kinds of influence like trade restriction, regulation, etc.

We’ve created a government where there’s a whole lot of money on the line. As such, it should surprise nobody that people with a lot of money on the line spend it in ways to affect what it does and doesn’t do.

We chose this.

POTFB Week

I look for Indiana to come out and run the ball down Purdue's throat. Indiana ran the ball against Ohio State throughout that game but simply couldn't hold up in passing protection.

The running game should setup whatever we want in the passing game. This game should be a blowout in Indiana's favor.

Edit: I'd LOVE to see the defense pitch a shut out!!!!!

Trump broke the Democrats’ thermostat

The American left was sent spinning in 2016 and is yet to recalibrate

Whether or not progressives are ready to accept it, the evidence all points in one direction. America’s moderate voters have not deserted the Democrats; the party has pushed them away.

With New Support Base, Obama Doesn't Need Right-Leaning Whites Anymore

For decades, Democrats shaped their policies around fears of the culturally conservative white voters to the GOP. But Obama's winning coalition has altered that calculus.

Musk isn’t the first person to throw gobs of money at a politician to help get them elected and curry favor, but with his advisory role and DOGE thing, it’s starting to look like he’ll have unprecedented ability to directly influence and impact policy, regulation and governing.

To play devil’s advocate, isn’t this a better way for that influence to manifest than the usual way it does?

It’s being done out in the wide open. And if there’s anything Musk recommends that involves one of his companies getting some kind of subsidy, etc, it will be seen by all and (obviously) scrutinized.

Also, we always assume that the removal or lack of a regulation is what interested parties want out of government influence. Sometimes it’s the addition of a regulation.

'Musk has bought the Presidency'
Harris-Walz spent 2-1/2 times the funds and is in debt all over the place...and failed to buy the office..
Maybe, just maybe it wasn't the money....
Another example of why 'progressives ' should never be allowed near other peoples' money.
But thanks for the entertainment.

Jerry Palm has us

If we went to ND, there would be a lot of IU fan interest in going to that game, and there are a lot of IU fans within close driving distance (duh).

It's not uncommon for ND's stadium to be taken over. IU wouldn't quite be like the UGA or OSU games there, but there would be quite bit of red in the crowd.

I am getting too far ahead -- we've got to beat PU first and they have to win at USC.

There were positives from the game against Ohio State especially the two drives for scores and the play of the defense. The OL issue needs a change in offensive scheme as Michigan and OSU would bring an extra rusher on one side of the OL to draw the RB's block while sending an extra rusher on the other side of the OL. Get the scheme fixed or other teams will destroy IU's passing game.

In addition, the coaches need to design some quick passing plays to exploit teams that choose to over blitz IU they way OSU did. It looked like to me, OSU was sending in 7 guys on their blitzes which overloaded IUs OL blocking. That means at least 1 IU player was open each & every time OSU blitzed. I figure what OSU did to IU this last game will now become a blueprint of how to beat IU. OSUs over blitzed totally negated & destroyed IUs RPO offense.
