Kristi Noem to head Homeland Security

He probably spent some on Hegseth. There were reportedly at least seven Republican no votes before President Trump put his foot down and made it clear he was going to stick with him. Hegseth’s resume and character issues didn’t improve, they got worse, but Senators with reservations voted to confirm anyway. I don’t know they’ll do the same with Gabbard, Kennedy and Patel. Maybe not all three. It’s likely none of the three will get Democrat votes so it’s going to be 100 percent on Republicans if they are confirmed.

The rest of his nominees, so far, shouldn’t have any confirmation problems. They’ll likely all get Democrats voting for them.

Personally, I’m glad Hegseth passed. I liked everything he had to say and he be may just what the DoD needs. At the very least, he should rid the military of the woke nonsense - which is just senseless and does nothing to advance its mission…which means it distracts from it.

But there’s only so much capital to go around. And a wise man once said that you’ll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Houston up 4 vs Kansas 2ot

Dude had standing violations at Oklahoma. Wasn’t even on a ‘next hire’ coaching radar. His Oklahoma record was pretty pedestrian compared to what IU Basketball was looking for. Had about zero history concerning recruiting Indiana, Ohio or Illinois. The hire seemed weird from jump street.

It seemed like a desperate PR hire and Sampson running from trouble at Oklahoma.

That simple.
I thought the only thing weird about it was the mismatch between our former legendary coach's reputation for being squeaky clean and hiring a guy who had a reputation as a cheater and I think was still on probation, not to mention the former legend actively calling the guy out. Wasn't our President at the time black and made a comment about liking Sampson because he was a minority? I don't believe his ethnicity was ever an issue with the fanbase.

Anyone watching the Michigan, Purdue game?

So to confirm. You saw iu beat a bunch of bad teams, lose to all ranked teams, something Cig is good at (I googled it) and celebrate a team that isn’t good enough to beat Purdue by the margin record.

the guy that told me Edey wasn’t an NBA player, a reach of a recruit, smith was a bad recruit, an Edey merchant, Purdue would be bad this year, CJ Cox won’t be good also thinks Odom will be a loser. Seems good for Odoms success.
I suppose IU would be better off not winning more games than PU ever has, not going to the playoffs, not almost setting the Bucket game margin of victory record, winning 1 game, and firing their coach after 2 years because he sucks.

I see Edey score 4 points most of the time: good for him.

Just nothin going on in Dc. People never went

Not disagreeing at all that law firms work way longer hours than public employees. Same with your average tech worker.

This is a discussion for another day, but not sure why Americans make working 60-80 hours a week a badge of honor. Unless you are making F You money that allows you to retire in short order, why do it?

Working decades at 60 plus hours a week for 200-400k per year is the definition of insanity. You are a work slave who never sees your kids, coaches, or volunteers in your community. Just crazy.
It's not crazy. People weight values differently.

They have seen IU make the playoffs, win more games than Purdue ever has in a season, be ranked #5, and be a missed field goal away from a setting the all-time victory record against Purdue. Good luck with your loser Mizzou coach.

Hey it’s the Edey will be an NBA bust guy and Braden Smith won’t be that good once Edey is gone. How is that prediction.

Bragging on a single year of football for the worst P5 football program in history is pretty funny the way you attack Purdue basketball. Especially for a team that paid a million to get out of its only respectable non-con game. Seriously dude. How many years has it been since IU won a bowl game?

You don’t think IU is the worst program historically? Google it.
When has PU won 11 games or made the college football playoffs? I didn't hear Purdue complaining when they were in the JV West division. If you want to hang on to dusty seasons from the 50's, I suppose you can. I'll bet you were one of the posters that thought Walters would pan out, lol. Good luck trying to catch Cig today.

FDU is the norm: I Googled that.
