Sports Illustrated: Everybody Wants to Save College Sports. But From What, Exactly?

This is extraordinary. Apparently there is a problem in college sports that may ruin some schools.

Like him or hate him, how does President Trump have the time and effort to host a conference to address the issue? Along with President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Education Secretary Linda McMahon, are attending.

That is a lot of firepower for a two hour meeting about college sports, while there is a hot war going on in Iran, restructuring of Venezuela, a new Homeland Security secretary, and a ‘Shield of Americas’ summit with the leaders of a dozen Latin American countries.

We’re still doing Daylight Savings Time?

Bill Clinton spent hours testifying about Jeffrey Epstein. I’m not following, but have seen some clips. Asmongold’s commentary isn’t interesting, but Bill Clinton is.

The U.S. has used LUCAS kamikaze drones for the first time in combat, U.S. Central Command acknowledged on Saturday. The drones, based on the Iranian Shahed-136, were launched from the ground by Task Force Scorpion Strike (TFSS).

This seems like one of those, “ain’t life funny” articles.

City Journal: A Simple Policy to Reduce Food Prices

Using food to make fuel is such a stupid idea, politicians won’t even consider changing the rule.

EPA rules effectively require that automotive gasoline sold in the U.S. contain 10 percent ethanol…The amount of energy contained in a gallon of ethanol, it turns out, is only slightly higher than the fossil-fuel energy needed to grow and process the corn that produces that ethanol.

Last time I visited my doctor, he was telling me that they don’t eat meat one day per week. He thought I could give that a try. One day per week, I make a brisket, and would not be joining his cult.

HHS has my back, and my doctor is on the wrong side of history.

Human trafficking and under-age women are what landed Jeffrey Epstein in prison, but he was doing much more than that.

Fox News: Trump says US women’s hockey team will ‘soon’ visit White House after declining SOTU invitation

The women’s team declined Trump’s invitation to attend his State of the Union address on Tuesday night in Washington, D.C., citing “previously scheduled academic and professional commitments.”

This seems like one of those phony controversies that partisans try to exploit.

Corruption hates Trump.

Let that sink in. A month after a president leaves office, The nation’s largest bank attempts to financially cripple him. JPMorgan provided no explanation, so it’s not known who told them to freeze the accounts.
