@Itsokaytobeeme @JayJosephVet Actually, they do not need a congressman’s approval. If they meet the admission standards, automatic acceptance. It’s not a military rule, that is actually federal law that was passed by Congress.

@JayJosephVet Still has to have a congressman's approval I believe, but I may be thinking of the eagle scouts too. My wife's BFF, her last kid is one so was her husband and his father too.

Does being a child of a medal of honor recipient give you an advantage to be able get into one of the U.S. service academies?

@RDierks @Joe_Hugen Until 5 minutes ago Hawkeye Nation was in complete agreement that Dolph should probably stick to football because he is awful calling basketball games. Now he is some beloved untouchable figure? Is this a joke?

@Joe_Hugen If you come after Dolph you better come fully armed.

Well this got escalated quickly. It’s all coming out.

@Joe_Hugen Time to go after Caitlin now Joe! C’mon be the first. We all know it’s coming. Be a leader and stop waiting for someone else to make the first move. Imagine the clicks!

@MountMcKeever Let’s go after Caitlin next!

My respect for Fran Era players that support this new era of Iowa Basketball is immeasurable. Jordan Bohannon 🫡

@ThePokemongxjm @Chefboy_rsteve Go watch the 2024 Big Ten title game against Nebraska (entertaining as hell). Then get back to me with this stupid take.

@Chefboy_rsteve Mfs in this comment section hate the truth .. not even hating just basketball observation.. any scout or coach would say that

28 shots to get 32 points in a losing effort.... she will never grow if yall keep validating trash hoops

@Hassel_Chris Now we are 1/2 step from going after Caitlin. Get those clicks Chris!

This is why the “just move on he’s gone” argument doesn’t work. That family is actively working against Iowa men’s bball and trying to convince several former Fran players that they shouldn’t be supporting the program anymore.

@darthmomma153 @TLHb6bh You are a leftist. Charlie’s legacy is his widow, kids, and TPUSA. If his judgement was so bad that he married a monster and he was so weak he could be manipulated easily, then you must question every decision he made. & TPUSA is the same from today to 5 yrs ago. You lie.

@therealreadonly @TLHb6bh I'm not a leftist and I hate TPUSA because its night and day to what is was when Charlie led it. I'm so tired of pretending that EK is upholding the things Charlie stood for. I was a huge fan of Charlie's and its like she's trying to be his opposite on purpose. Its weird.

It is 💯 morally inappropriate for a married woman, who is not Charlie’s wife, to publicly discuss intimate details about him, particularly when he is dead and his widow is still alive and raising their children. There is a line between commentary and exploitation, and this crosses it. Discussing politics, public statements, or even disagreements is one thing. Sitting around dissecting a dead man’s marriage, hinting at improprieties, implying betrayal, and turning deeply personal family matters into entertainment for clicks and engagement is something entirely different. What makes it worse is the self righteousness attached to it all. You cannot claim to stand for family values, morality, Christianity, decency, or protecting children while simultaneously feeding millions of people intimate gossip about a husband and wife whose children will one day read every word of it online. Those children did not ask for this. His widow did not ask for this. A grieving widow should not have to wake up every day wondering what new insinuation, rumor, or “just asking questions” segment is going to be blasted out to millions of viewers next. There is nothing brave about it. There is nothing journalistic about it. It is gossip packaged as righteousness. At some point people need to ask themselves what they are actually consuming and supporting. Because when someone profits from tearing apart the intimate details of a dead man’s marriage while his family is still trying to survive unimaginable loss, that is not truth seeking. That is cruelty for the sake of cruelty! And since when did “journalism” become gossiping about whether Charlie was a virgin or claiming he only dated Erika to make another girl jealous? That is not investigative reporting. That is middle school gossip with a microphone. It’s morally bankrupt. A man was murdered, children lost their father, and somehow people turned the conversation into psychoanalyzing his dating life for clicks and engagement. It’s so grotesque.

@DustyBottoms04 We are one step away from going after Caitlin. In fact in some corners of this hell hole, it has already started.

😂🤣

@dannykanell Didn’t you just say earlier today that today’s CFB is not even close to the CFB we grew up with? Now you are saying it is the same. Which is it? At least try to be consistent.

This is not the flex you think it is…Ryan Day was almost fired after Ohio State lost to Michigan before their playoff run. College football fans claiming they won’t care if their team loses in the regular season are either lying or total casuals.

@BiggerTen Wish he knew he represented more schools than just Ohio St, Michigan, and Penn St.

Big Ten Commissioner not among them.

@Elitetroop7 @LawSzn @DBGyt_ She ended up with 32 pts in case you stopped watching.

@LawSzn @DBGyt_ I Can’t defend 2/15 lmao

How were the Fever better under Christie Sides who literally was barely even a basketball coach...

@darthmomma153 @TLHb6bh So you believe a Dating Show is real dating? You may be the only one. And I will trust she has better idea of whether something was a “big” relationship over someone trying to destroy her life. Next questions, when did you become a leftist and why do you hate TPUSA?

@therealreadonly @TLHb6bh I'm unsure why you can't do your own research, kinda lazy. In this CBS interview she says she didn't date in the years leading up to Charlie and didn't drink. Both have been confirmed lies as she was on a dating show and in two big relationships. share.google/C95ZWOP32TbUcV…

@HandlebarHist @HistoryWJacob @EchoesofWarYT Funny enough, I just finished re-reading it 2 months ago (since reading when it first came out), so it’s kind of fresh in my mind when I saw your question. I am not aware of any books on Polk that have been written since that was published, so sadly I can’t be of more assistance.

@therealreadonly @HistoryWJacob @EchoesofWarYT I’ve read that one! Geez…Years ago now. I thought it was very good but I was a newb. First time I had read about Polk. Apparently is stands up well to this day. Nothing since then just as good?

When James K. Polk took office in March 1845, America looked like the map on the left. Four years later, it looked like the map on the right. One term. No second run because he didn't need to. How did he do it? 🧵1/5

@darthmomma153 @TLHb6bh Can you point me to the interview Erika Kirk gave where she discussed her past and her dating history. Surely you have access to it and are not just making it up. Thanks in advance.

@TLHb6bh EK opened herself up to this when she started lying about her past and dating history. She's a public figure of a huge organization, we are just supposed to accept blatant dishonesty? Nah.

@HandlebarHist @HistoryWJacob @EchoesofWarYT The book “A Country of Vast Designs” by Robert W. Merry. A fantastic read. Even handed and straight forward. Interesting and presents all sides of the policies being debated in Polk’s time. You also meet the other major figures of his time.

@HistoryWJacob @EchoesofWarYT What would you consider as good reads on Polk (as in best ones presented as objective as possible by authors/scholars)?

@NancyH_60 106 degree fever? Better call 911 or get to a hospital soon. Unless you think organ failure is something you can “walk off”.

1986: Kid calls home puking 47 times with a 106° fever. Dad: ‘Walk it off, champ. See you at dinner.’ 2026: Kid calls with a ‘pre-fever’ of 98.7°. Mom’s already en route with broad-spectrum antibiotics, a emotional support blanket, and booking the 12th booster. Some things never change… except everything did. 😂 Which era raised you tougher?

@ColtenWMoore @ChrisDouglas515 I’ll agree with the statement that Iowa fans will love her regardless.

@therealreadonly @ChrisDouglas515 I think Catlin Clark damaging her brand by speaking out in favor of the men’s basketball coach from the university that brought her fame is not accurate. She might get heat because of who she’s dating, but Iowa fans already decided. They still love Carlin, regardless.

@ColtenWMoore @ChrisDouglas515 Or…and hear me out…she has extensive media training and is extremely media savvy, and she won’t say anything that damages her brand so she can continue to pull in 8 figures annually and grow that number. What do you think is more likely?

@therealreadonly @ChrisDouglas515 It does feel like Catlin has been basically bullied into silence by a league that continues to embarrass itself. I don’t know what manipulation quote you’re talking about, but it checks out. She doesn’t talk at all now.

@cmblodg_21 @ChrisDouglas515 So you believe that Caitlin Clark is so stupid she is in danger of being “controlled” and “manipulated” by the McCaffery family? And with this tweet, you believe that Margaret is using a burner to disagree with that statement? Do I understand this correctly Cole?

@therealreadonly @ChrisDouglas515 Is that you, Margaret?

@ColtenWMoore @ChrisDouglas515 My point was that all D1 coaches are controlling lunatics. Both successful and unsuccessful, that’s why they rise to get D1 jobs. Seems to be confusion on what I meant, so now I am clarifying. I doubt Caitlin is in danger of being “manipulated” (can he be more insulting to her?)

@therealreadonly @ChrisDouglas515 Fran was super successful? Is that why Ben was able to out do him in one season?
