Gill at the grill: He’s barbecuing communists in Congress and I love it

by

Congressman Brandon Gill does not look like a Texan. At 32, he looks like an investment banker and hedge fund analyst from the Ivy League, which he was until he ran for Congress in 2024 with the blessing of President Trump to succeed a retiring Republican.

But boy can the young man in the black suit grill.

ESPN created this monster: TV money and legalized gambling ruined college sports

by

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.

“The arena is still FILLED WITH PATRIOTS even though leftists booed him.”

Nice to hear USA! USA! USA! replace FJB.

Democrats don’t know American men: They believe we are Nazis who eat barbecue with a napkin and use tampons

by

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.

Trump’s coalition of the Gulf states

by

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.

You Want the Party Back?

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. Asian species have adapted more to forested and wetland environments, while African ones lean toward open plains.

Sheriff or inmate? Aaron Spencer will be elected in November if he isn’t convicted of murder

On Saturday, people in Arkansas held a fundraiser for Aaron Spencer, the Republican nominee for sheriff of Lonoke County. They raised the money not for Spencer’s campaign. He’s a lock because Trump picked up 76% of the vote in the county 2 years ago.

The money is for his murder trial, which begins next month.

Thune joins the resistance; Sends Senate home without passing a budget. Whee!

by

Led by John Thune, Republican senators have joined the resistance by going on recess without fully funding the Department of Homeland Security—perhaps in an effort to attract the terrorist vote.

Senators claim it is a pro forma recess and not a real recess. I never studied the law but I do know that when lawyers start talking in Latin, my liberty is in jeopardy.
