“It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medications somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medications and a government bureaucracy to administer ‘universal health care.’” — Thomas Sowell

Congratulations to Iowa State’s Milan Momcilovic on breaking Kyle Korver’s single season 3 PT FG % record. Creighton’s Kyle Korver held the record for 23 years🔥

Drake with the Cinderella story.

Bring back the Expos

Let pitchers hit again.

Wait until they find out we have an entire Government Agency, U.S. Farm Credit, that has been lending a significant portion of its $450 Billion portfolio to foreign entities; It’s not just that we have been losing our American farmland to foreign interests, we are giving them the loans to buy the land. And not a single Oversight Hearing held in Congress to address it; and that’s because Farm Credit sends campaign dollars to all of them so that they will look the other way. Our Government bribing our Government to the detriment of farmers and taxpayers.

Those who wish the Church to move with the world are not only very vague about where the world is moving, but very blind to where it's stuck.

Thomas Sowell on why Obama's idea of spreading the wealth around is nonsense.

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office. Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known. He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions. Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?" I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well." The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year. Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there. But at game time, the tires were flat. I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands. Now it was time to reset. "Shower well" means exactly this: • Watch the frustration circle down the drain • Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind • Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight. Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization. I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball. Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home. You can carry all of that through your front door. Or you can shower well. I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them. The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up. Either we win. Or we learn. The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day. So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well. Tomorrow is a new at-bat. What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

Amen

I always ask @CycloneMBB TJ Otzelberger if I can come to his practice. They usually start at 7:45 AM. He very nicely says if you’re not on time, I can’t let you in. So I get there at 7 AM. The moral of the story: Their practices are sacred. @Big12Conference

Since they love Cuba so much, let them stay there. Use the plane to bring back some Cuban people who love this country and who would be grateful to live here.

John Fetterman: "You asked me earlier, 'What's the leader of the Democratic party right now?' I would say it's TDS. That's driving the conversation."

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, the Patron Saint of Ireland 🇮🇪✝️ Although alot of people will spend it drinking green beer and wearing plastic hats the Catholic Church celebrates the life of a great Saint who was instrumental to the preservation of Europe as we know it and for the conversion of the nation of Ireland. Kidnapped at 16 by pagan pirates, St. Patrick was dragged from his noble family and forced into slavery in the freezing Irish wilderness. For six brutal years, he suffered in total isolation. He finally escaped, walked 200 miles to the coast, and made it back home. He was safe. He became a priest, then a Bishop. But then he had a vision. God called him to go back to the exact same violent barbarians who enslaved him. He went back to save their souls. When the High King of Tara ordered that no fires be lit before his pagan festival, Patrick marched up the Hill of Slane and lit a massive Easter bonfire, openly challenging the king, the druids, and the penalty of death. According to tradition, one of the high druids challenged Patrick to a supernatural duel to determine whose god was greater. The druid invoked demons and even levitated before the crowd, but Patrick, filled with the power of Christ, commanded them to fall. The wizard crashed to the ground and died. Witnessing this, the king was shaken. Convinced of God’s power, he allowed Patrick to continue preaching. Over the next 30 years, Patrick baptized thousands, converted chieftains, and used the shamrock to explain the mystery of the Trinity. Through him, Ireland was set on the path to becoming one of the most Christian lands in Europe. He drove literal snakes out of Ireland. He drove out demons, paganism, and human sacrifice, conquering an entire nation for Christ. Enjoy your pint today, but remember you are celebrating a spiritual warrior, a Bishop of Holy Mother Church, a Saint who is in Heaven right now looking down on you, praying for you, praying for the Church. His life and total devotion and faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ should be an example for all of us to follow. Saint Patrick, pray for us! Christ is King.
