Move over, Marilyn Monroe.

But boy can the young man in the black suit grill.
Ya got trouble right here in college football. Trouble with a Capital T that rhymes with B and stands for Brendan Sorsby.
Or so the NCAA would have you believe.
Sorsby is a vagabond college football quarterback who just signed to play for Texas Tech, his third team. The school will pay him $5 million.
But Sorsby bet $90,000 on college football games, which of course is against the NCAA rules. The team sought an injunction in its home county (Lubbock) against enforcing the rule. The local judge recused himself and Tarrant County Judge Ken Curry popped out of retirement to grant the injunction until the case is argued after the season ends.
As the Saga of Oystergruppenfuhrer Graham Platner continues in Maine, the focus turns to the vetting process used by the Democrat Central Committee included a panel of experts with white-tipped canes. The verdict is in: They would run a Nazi just to get a Senate seat.

The big winner was America. Eric Daugherty tweeted with video, “WOW! Madison Square Garden ERUPTS in USA! USA! USA! chants with President Trump in attendance.

Adolf Platner. Six Genders Talarico. Tampon Tim. The first two are Democrat Senate candidates while Walz was the party’s vice presidential nominee in 2024. Democrats aimed these weirdos at collecting the XY vote. They have the combined testosterone of my 5-year-old grandson.
Operation Epic Fury did not begin February 28. It began in Donald Trump’s first presidency when he made his first trip abroad landing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on May 20, 2017, accompanied by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Melania, and Trump’s Jewish son-in-law and Jewish daughter.

I begin today’s newsletter by reminding readers that Asian rhinoceroses live mainly in swamps. All rhinos need water and mud wallows for cooling, skin protection, and parasite control, so they often stay near rivers, lakes, or wet areas even in drier habitats.
