The Current State of Media

trying to watch the Scottish Open

was interrupted by the press conference about the assassination attempt that refused to say anything about the assassination attempt, after last nights presser that refused to say anything about the assassination attempt, and not one media member said “well, if you can”t talk about the investigation, then why are you having a press conference?”

and the local station just told me I could watch “gavel to gavel” coverage of the Alec Baldwin trial next week.

Here's the Real cost of this "he's a Threat to Democracy" Bull Shit

Before Lauren and Abby and Libby...

There were the Burger Chef murders in Speedway. The first unsolved disappearance/murder involving kids that I can remember in Indiana.The crime scene was in an area that I frequented when I was growing up and in high school. I didn't live in Speedway, but at most the two high schools (Ben Davis and Speedway) were 5-10 miles apart from each other. The (500) track was within walking distance of my house, and thruout May you could be in my backyard and hear the roar of the engines and Tom Carnegie on the PA...

The Burger Chef was on Crawfordsville Road, nearly adjacent to the Speedway Shopping Center. I was at IU in 1978 and didn't know any of the victims, but the crime sent a shock wave thru the entire West side of Indy. It has never been solved and due to the Speedway cops botching the investigation it might not ever be. Lots of twists and turns and promising leads, but for one reason or another they never panned out. The main problem appears to be that local LEOs initially assumed the kids working ran off after robbing that night's till, so they did a half assed job of investigating and preserving the "crime scene". They even allowed the BC to open and run as usual the next day, so a lot of possible evidence was lost forever...

Anyway, this docu-drama which just premiered looks pretty informative

Student debt repayment question

So I'm looking for opinions backed with facts on the proposed student loan forgiveness proposal. I have an attorney friend who stands by the charge that "no taxes would be used to payoff the cancelled loans" and that "the money paid on student loans gets lost in the Treasury Department and has nothing to do with new loans or the federal budget".

I have challenged this theory, but he dismisses my opinion because it is derived from internet talk and I have self admitted I have not read the proposal and do not plan to do so. He also claims I have zero knowledge of how future budgets work with respect to government even though I have worked on budgeting most of my banking life for the branches I oversee. He claims they are completely different which I call bullshit.

I may be wrong and he may be correct, I'm looking for you guys to give me your take.

Biden interview on ABC 8:00 EDT

Let's use this thread to discuss this evening's interview. I just saw a short clip that they've released and I'm not confident this will be doing him much good.

Trump shooting

I guess somebody needs to start a thread about this.

I have some thoughts - about fatalistic rhetoric, our politically-driven emotions, and other things. But I feel like I should wait until we know more about this before airing them here.

All I’ll say for now is that I’m damn glad DJT wasn’t badly injured or killed. That’s the last thing we need right now.

2025 recruiting

Mullins, Sisley, Moreno will be committed separately starting with Mullins after their group visit, then Sisley and concluding with the big fella before or potentially on his birthday, mid-Oct. Tip of the cap with the Adam Howard hiring Woody. Tip of the cap.

After that keep an eye on the Ament and Brown recruitment. Especially Ament.

One of the good guys - Sope - needs some positive thoughts/vibes/blessings directed his way.

Without breaking any confidences and HIPAA deals, Steve is going in tomorrow morning for some testing.

I told him there is strength and power in numbers and that even though he hasn’t been around for a while he is the one among us who has burned the fewest bridges.

We need his loquaciousness around here. He can skewer any of us with his rapier wit with the deftness of a pickpocket and we need that back.

So, use any power you have and get some good energy headed to Atlanta.

134th opening day for the Cincinnati Reds tomm

baseball is no longer the national pastime. but still enjoy following the Redleg's an attending a few games a year. if nothing else a sign that warmer weather is around the corner. they surprised last year, and expectations have been elevated for this season. just hope they can stay in playoff contention throughout the summer. Nuxhall and Brenneman probably the best broadcast duo in baseball history hasn't been the same since they departed but still a good way to waste a summer afternoon.

Biden Housing


obviously some legal issues and while i don't like gov intervention 1) i think it's good biden's admin recognizes the importance of this issue as to me it is every bit as impt as the border etc and 2) biden's admin is right that the obstacles/regs of local govs are absolutely ridiculous. it's too much

people need to be able to afford homes. a starter home in a decent school district shouldn't cost $650k. a 3/3 in a good neighborhood well over a million. ridiculous

Brandon claims to have been "a black woman" 🙄🤣😂🤣

That ought to be enough to trigger a 25th Amendment, 4th clause vote right there...

What's next? - He was Really the guy who shot Bin Laden?? Maybe he thinks he secretly flew on Apollo 11...???


Just about anyone else who was as clearly rapidly deteriorating as the world watches I would feel sorry for..., but given that the guy has been a serial liar his entire political career along with being a consistent plagerist going all way the back to college, these kind of gaffes have a certain ring of karmic justice to them...

I'm sure his coworkers, friends, and family are looking out for his welfare (DWS)...

Speaking of the 25th Amendment there's a heck of a lot of Democrats and "Main Stream" media types conspicuously MIA this time around who clamored for that to be done to Trump last time around... Wonder Why?????
