@Jon_Blau Why did Wahlin enter portal?

Transfer portal has opened, but Clemson basketball has already posted its 2026-27 roster. Jake Wahlin, who has entered the portal, not listed obviously. The remaining 10 are. Clemson went with 13 last year (can have as many as 15 now, but not sure the Tigers expand there).

The referees in this Tennessee – Michigan games are absolutely horrific and horrible and terrible.

@JoshPateCFB Dodgers. Still hot from October and the World Series Championship win!

Atlanta Braves…hottest team in baseball

Somebody tell Brad Brownell to get that Skaljac kid from Miami (Ohio). Dude’s a player!!!

Riffs trying to help UNC beat Clemson tonight

@ClemsonTigerNet Unless we see a impressive turnaround in our football program, Clemson is quickly becoming a basketball school. Many say it’s been much more fun watching the bball games than the last 5 years of football games.

ICYMI: #Clemson's depth shined in win over Stanford tigernet.com/clemson-basket…

@GreeneRonnie @deptulahasrage @ClemsonMBB Agree

@deptulahasrage @ClemsonMBB I know you've been yelling this from the rooftops, but we don't really appreciate what Coach Brownell is doing in Clemson. From being an innovator in the portal to being the best X's and O's coach in the game makes him more than worthy of the accolades he's getting. #ClemsonGRIT

Man, we just aren't adequately appreciating what @ClemsonMBB is doing. THIRTEEN STRAIGHT LEAGUE ROAD WINS is one of the greatest streaks in the entire history of college basketball. It's impossible, even more impossible in this season of ACC basketball where the league is going to place a high number of NCAA Tourney teams. This will never happen again, maybe anywhere.

@Jon_Blau Wife and I stayed up and watched it. Sloppy at times but bench stepped up. Davidson’s and Buckner’s free throws were clutch! Can’t wait to see them beat Cal.

FINAL: Clemson 66, Stanford 64 Tigers (19-4, 9-1 ACC) led by 16 points from Nick Davidson off the bench. Ace Buckner adds 11. Both hit clutch pairs of free throws to seal it. Clemson has now won 13 straight ACC road games.

@CFBAlerts_ And in 2016 beat them 31-0.

Justin Fields’ performance in the 2021 Sugar Bowl was INSANE 🔥

@CFBAlerts_ And Clemson routing Ohio State in 2019 in the Fiesta Bowl 29-23

Everyone’s getting emails from Nigerian princes. I got one from an Egyptian pharaoh. Turns out it was just a pyramid scheme

This isn't actually that hard: -- You're not allowed to obstruct law enforcement officers in the course of their duties. Protest is fine; obstruction is not. -- Law enforcement officers who are being obstructed in the course of their duties are allowed to use force against those obstructing them. -- State and local officials should be protecting immigration officials as they fulfill their duties to ensure order so that protest does not cross the line into obstruction. Failing to do so increases risks of violence and death for both state officials in the course of their duties and those obstructing them. -- You can't kill someone and immediately call them a terrorist in advance of any investigation of the circumstances of the killing -- You can't kill someone and not investigate whether wrongdoing occurred -- Law enforcement officers have to act reasonably and are given reasonable latitude to make the wrong calls if they had a reasonable basis for acting in the manner the did even if it results in harm or death. -- Law enforcement are subject to criminal liability where they act negligently or maliciously to harm or kill without a reasonable basis for doing so. -- These rules and norms strike a balance between lawful protest and the legitimate enforcement of the law. -- Immigration enforcement is legitimate and all attempts to render it illegitimate are themselves illegitimate. The intellectual and political movements, legal and extra-legal, that seek to render immigration enforcement an act beyond the moral and political pale must all be defeated through argument and effectual administrative action to shut down subversion of this legitimate act through all lawful means.

I was a lifelong Democrat. I thought most conservatives were ignorant or evil or lying. I believed almost everything written in the New York Times, The New Republic, and the Atlantic. I was horrified when conservatives criticized the authorities. Every criticism I saw: I thought all of it was motivated by animus, resentment, self-interest, or ignorance. Whatever truth there might have been in the criticism, I saw as a mere "half-truth": an exploitation of this or that cherrypicked fact being weaponized. Why did I see it in terms of weaponization? Because I was biased: I saw liberal establishment institutions and figures as fundamentally good, so all criticism of them was automatically interpreted as being in bad faith. Didn't the critics know that these institutions or figures were fundamentally good? If they didn't, they were ignorant. If they did, they were evil. It was that simple. This meant that any legitimate criticisms would just be dismissed, as if bouncing off of an impenetrable bulletproof shield. This all changed once I started writing about the pandemic. Soon people started talking about me the way I once thought about conservatives. This led to a complete identity collapse as I came to understand that my old worldview was hateful and ignorant, that I hadn't understood what I had been judging. I cannot forget the hearing that led to my dismissal from medical school a year after I started writing. During the hearing, people talked about me as if I wasn't human. My behavior was interpreted in the worst possible light. Complete fabrications were created. Nobody was concerned with the truth, only horrified at my apparent "unprofessional behavior", which was really a mirror of their unprofessional behavior directed at me. They structured the hearing to make it virtually impossible for me to speak and explain that what was being said was a lie. And nobody seemed to have any problem with this. Why? Because I was bad. If I am bad, then every mistreatment and every violation of the school's own policies became justified. A person who is bad does not deserve any rights. They only deserve punishment. But the thing I remember most was the allusions to my social media activity. They said, "Kevin is driven by resentment from his childhood." I wasn't. I was on good terms with my parents. They alleged that I needed psychotherapy to deal with this trauma. It was a completely fake story that they had constructed about me, to demean me, to marginalize me, to try to explain the views I had expressed: that something terribly wrong had happened during the pandemic. They couldn't imagine that I might have legitimate points. So they reduced me to the same kinds of psychological caricatures that I once reduced conservatives to in my own mind. When I was dismissed, I was broken. But I had help from friends who helped me understand what happened. And I came to realize that a hysteria had overtaken the left. I spent a lot of time reading about show trials, about witch trials, and so on. I also connected with people who had experienced similar things and came to realize that something similar had happened to hundreds of physicians around the country. My story wasn't unique. It was all the same story over and over again. I cannot believe the person I once was. I cannot believe that I could exist like that. I still don't understand how I could be like that, or how millions of people in this country could continue being like that. It disturbs me greatly. One thing I know is that whatever this thing is that is driving people crazy needs to be destroyed. It is hostile to civilization and to our humanity. It causes us to dehumanize each other and try to destroy each other. It is the very same monstrous thing that I once attributed to conservatives. But it had been inside me, and I could now see it inside others. This is something I still grapple with.

I am horrified. I cannot believe it. I analyzed public databases and media reporting on violent confrontations with ICE over the past year. Just 9 counties accounted for TWO-THIRDS of violent confrontations with ICE in America. This is twice all violent confrontations in the remaining 3,134 counties COMBINED. A violent confrontation in these 9 counties was 590 TIMES more likely than any of these other 3,134 counties. 590 times. I plotted these 9 counties, and I found that all 9 counties are sanctuary jurisdictions run by Democrat politicians that resist immigration law enforcement. These violent confrontations are RARE in states and cities where local officials cooperate with law enforcement.

@ryanhallyall @grok what does this mean for Anderson, SC

“God’s glory is God Himself in the perfect majesty and beauty of his being.” - Matthew Barrett In Simply Trinity

@cheezit - PLEASE stop the “Team, it’s been a grind” commercial!! Enough is enough! I mute it when it comes on.

Humans are hardware. Cultures are software. We have fundamentally the same hardware, but adopt very different software. Not all software is compatible. America's software is built on universal principles and respect for law. Developing countries often run software that prioritizes tribe, custom, and heritage. That's okay. But it's incompatible. When an immigrant comes to America, they need to choose America's software over the software of the place they're leaving. Otherwise, America gets buggy and dysfunctional. Some countries have software more similar to America - and immigrants from those places will likely have an easier time integrating. That's pattern recognition, not prejudice. But the promise of America is that anyone who adopts our software and adds value to the lives of people already here gets to be here. You don't get to be here just because you want to be here. You need to bring something to the table. Millions of people want to come. We can have empathy for all of them, but we can't accommodate all of them. That's why merit-based immigration is the only rational path forward. Don't let people scare you into silence by calling you racist for recognizing this. This is how citizens of other countries approach their country. Why should America be any different?

@deptulahasrage My friend in Pa is a Penn St fan. He said watching this game is like watching grass grow

This game feels like it has been 6 hours long already.
