Yesterday I laid it bare for you all... John Thune, the smirking Senate ringmaster of the uniparty circus, wasn’t going to let the Save America Act see daylight before the midterms. Not because he lacks the votes. Not because the American people haven’t roared their mandate. But because the establishment’s pathology runs deeper than any “procedural delay.” Rep. Andy Ogles just confirmed it in real time, voice cracking with the rage of a man watching the Republic get slow-walked into the grave. “He’s running out the clock,” Ogles seethed. “It’ll be too late to implement for the midterms…I can’t even begin to ponder why that’s a good strategy. It’s stupid.” Stupid? No. Calculated. Malignant. This is Thune’s signature move...the velvet dagger of the institutional class. They don’t oppose Trump’s agenda because it’s “extreme.” They oppose it because codifying it would sever the veins that feed their permanent DC ruling caste. Every safeguard against election fraud, every barrier to the bureaucratic deep state, every mechanism to restore sovereignty to the people becomes a mortal threat to the oligarchs who have spent decades turning the Senate into their personal veto chamber. They don’t want Trump’s agenda enshrined in law because that would make the will of the voters harder to nullify next time. And they sure as hell don’t want MAGA to prove, once and for all, that the Republic still belongs to its citizens instead of to the consultant class, the lobbyists, and the donor overlords who own both wings of the uniparty. This isn’t politics. This is psychological warfare dressed in Robert’s Rules of Order. Thune and his ilk suffer from the classic oligarchic neurosis: a terror of genuine popular sovereignty that borders on the pathological. History is littered with these men...late-Roman senators who filibustered land reforms while the plebs starved, Weimar conservatives who dithered while the center collapsed, believing their genteel delays would preserve their sinecures. They always bet the Republic can absorb one more betrayal. They always lose the Republic in the process. The philosophy here is as old as Thucydides: when elites fear the demos more than they fear tyranny, they will sacrifice the constitutional order itself to keep the game rigged. That is precisely what we’re witnessing. They are proving, with chilling precision, that they would rather burn the last vestiges of electoral integrity than let Trump and MAGA institutionalize the populist revolt of 2024. They don’t want Trump gone because of "mean tweets." They want him...and every last one of us...gone because we represent the final rupture in their 80-year grift. The Save America Act isn’t just legislation; it’s the codification of the people’s verdict. Delay it past the point of enforcement and you don’t just neuter one bill...you neuter the mandate. You tell every future populist movement: “Your votes don’t matter. The clock is ours.” That is not conservatism. That is the soft totalitarianism of the administrative state wearing a three-piece suit and calling itself “bipartisan statesmanship.” Fuck that. And fuck the pretense that this is anything other than deliberate sabotage of the Republic they swore to defend. The establishment GOP isn’t incompetent. It’s complicit. They have chosen the long game of managed decline over the short-term pain of actually governing like the Article I branch the Founders intended. We see you, Senator Thune. We see the pathology. We see the venom behind the smile. The American people gave you the Senate, the House, and the White House for a reason. Pass the goddamn Save America Act. 💀⚔️⚖️

Pay attention now! Joe legal works in construction, has a Social Security number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted. Jose illegal also works in construction has no Social Security number and makes $15.00 per hour cash, under the table. Ready?... now pay attention.... Joe legal: $25.00 per hour × 40 hours = $1,000.00 per week or $52,000.00 per year. Now, take 31% away for State and Federal taxes. Joe legal now has $31,231.00.

Joe legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline.. etc. Jose illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline and what he sends out of the country every month.... Joe legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work. Jose illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family. Joe legal's and Jose illegal's children both attend the same elementary school. Joe legal pays for his children's lunches while... Jose illegal's children get a government-sponsored lunch. Jose illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe legal's children go home. Now, when they reach college age... Joe legal's kids may not get into a State school and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State schools through his taxes, while... Jose illegal's kids go to the, 'head of the class' because they are a minority. Joe legal and Jose illegal both benefit from the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not. Do you get it, now? If we vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens,... we are part of the problem. Its way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

Happy Tax Day. The top 1% pays 40% of all income taxes, the top 10% pays 72% and the top 25% pays 87% of all income taxes. Meanwhile the bottom 50% pays ZERO income taxes. For all of you actually paying taxes, do you think your tax dollars are being spent well?

According to ​Jay Bilas NCAA athletes are professionals and "adults," not developing young adults (as @SethOnHoops correctly pointed out yesterday). ​Well, adults pay for their own lives. They pay for things like housing, food, and school tuition. ​How about Jay endorses the growing sentiment of eliminating "free ride" athletic scholarships for any "adult" who receives NIL or rev-share that exceeds the university's cost of attendance? If you get paid a million dollars, you should have to pay for school. Simple. ​That would be the "adult" thing to do.

Coaches need to study Duke‘s philosophy. I’m curious as to how no other program in the country has figured out a way to get fouled every single time they have the ball.

@SenEricSchmitt It's past time for you and your colleagues to replace Sen. Thune and pass the Save America Act. Get your butts back to work! All of your useless rhetoric and empty words are falling on deaf ears. Do your job or your constituents will elect someone who will.

Horrible officiating that’s marred what was a great game for 30 minutes. The reality now is the game is over. A real shame. @DukeMBB is the better team, but @TCUBasketball deserved better. Just a horrible end result the Frogs best interior player gone for good. I don’t care who wins I really don’t but this games control was lost by the officials.

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo: "The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

This was a baffling decision in the first place to try out this new glass court at the most important time all season for the Big 12. Just let the basketball in the league speak for itself. It’s the best league in America right now. There was no schtick needed.

I love that we have all these schools out west joining the conference complaining that their fans aren’t going to travel to Kansas City as if it wasn’t their schools choice to join a conference that’s based in the midwest.

Everyone agrees college sports is broken. I’ll be at the White House tomorrow for the college sports panel. @realDonaldTrump wants to fix the mess. As fans, what are your top suggestions to fix college sports for future generations? I have lots of ideas, what are yours?
