I’m not asking you, I’m telling you.
Take a moment and listen to this 81 second response from Victor Glover after being asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter.
I don’t quite think it can be overstated how perfect this crew is for the job.

A student-athlete turned in a 146-word essay about Rosa Parks — one paragraph, riddled with errors, no sources — and got an A-minus. That single paper helped expose the biggest academic fraud in NCAA history.
For 18 years, from 1993 to 2011, a department secretary named Deborah Crowder ran fake courses at the University of North Carolina. @UNC The classes never met. There was no syllabus and no professor.
Students turned in one paper per semester. Crowder admitted she never read them. She skimmed introductions and handed out A’s.
UNC’s academic counselors steered athletes into these courses each semester, specifying what grades each player needed. Athletes made up 47% of enrollments despite being just 4% of the student body.
Rashad McCants, a star on UNC’s 2005 championship team, told ESPN he made the Dean’s List without attending a single class. Ten of fifteen players on that title team were enrolled in paper courses.
When whistleblower Mary Willingham revealed that 60% of athletes read at a 4th-to-8th grade level, UNC attacked her publicly and fans sent death threats. She was forced to resign.
In October 2014, a 136-page investigation confirmed the scope: 188 fake classes, 3,100 students, 18 years of fraud.
And the punishment? In October 2017, the NCAA ruled there were no significant violations. Zero penalties. No vacated wins. No postseason bans.
@UNC calls themselves a bastion of academia. How incredibly pathetic.

And when unc names Stackhoues as their new basketball coach, don’t forget that he graduated with an AFAM degree after earning it during summer school in between NBA seasons.

ICYMI: Tyler Hansbrough (@THANS50) on Tommy Lloyd staying at Arizona 👀
"It's tough to leave when you're having a season like this... But right now, Carolina might not be as heralded as we once thought"

WOW
Billy Bush exposes that ABC News had a 75-person division whose sole mission was DESTROYING Trump in 2016.
“I know the guy who ran the division…it was dedicated to basically getting him”
This was a coordinated political hit job by FAKE NEWS.

Hahaha. CBS did a 6 month investigation and concluded that high California gas prices are entirely the fault of Gavin Newsom & CA leadership.
“55% of each gallon of gas includes California-specific costs.”
CBS Sacramento@CBSSacramento
For years, California leaders accused oil companies of price gouging at the pump, but a state investigation found no evidence of that. Instead, a CBS News California investigation found what's really driving the highest gas prices in the U.S. cbsloc.al/3PPOHwW

To clarify on the Stackhouse piece. It was a name mentioned to me by a source with ties to UNC. That’s all. Point is with Lloyd and likely May and Donovan all out, there isn’t a clear back up plan and time is running out to make a massive decision.
Pat Welter WRAL@PatrickWelter
From conversations, I don't get the impression it's Billy Donovan for #UNC. Hard to think Dusty May leaves Michigan. So where does UNC turn? Jerry Stackhouse? Someone off the board? They've got a search firm for a reason. Time running out with the portal opening Tuesday.

BREAKING🚨: Astronaut Captures Rare Luminous Phenomenon from Earth Orbit.
From hundreds of kilometers above Earth, an astronaut has photographed one of the planet’s most elusive atmospheric displays—an ethereal burst of light that flickers above thunderstorms. 😮
These phenomena, known as sprites or blue jets, briefly illuminate the upper reaches of the atmosphere, puzzling scientists and thrilling skywatchers. Recorded in stunning detail from orbit, the image reveals the extraordinary interplay between weather, electricity, and space

UNC went from "Bring us Brad Stevens" to "You think McCasland would be interested?"
CBS Sports College Basketball 🏀@CBSSportsCBB
"I have been told that Billy Donovan will not entertain a conversation with UNC until after the Chicago Bulls season is over... I would expect names like Texas Tech's Grant McCasland, Vanderbilt's Mark Byington, and also Iowa's Ben McCollum to be on (UNC's) list." - @JonRothstein

Mike Rowe is just so good. Perfectly stated.
The Real Mike Rowe@mikeroweworks
I want to apologize for not responding to any of the 22 thousand comments my last post inspired. I’ve been filming all week and just noticed my observations about Jimmy Kimmel and a former plumber named Markwayne Mullin have gone viral. I've also noticed that many of the comments are from people who genuinely seem to believe that Jimmy wasn’t belittling plumbers at all, but was instead, simply trying to point out that Mullin is not qualified to lead the DHS. Here's a small smattering... Roger Bicknell... Mikey stop. Kimmel wasn't making fun of plumbers he was making fun of Mullin. Rebecca Piatt Gonzalez... Dearest Mike, it's not anything to do with his being a plumber. It's him NOT being skilled in Homeland Security. Patrick Wise... Being a plumber qualifies you to be a plumber. Period. The issue Jimmy and the rest of us at the adult table recognize is that jobs require certain training and experience and being a plumber does not qualify you to be Sec of DHS. Had Roger, Rebecca, Patrick and all the others who rushed to Jimmy’s Kimmel’s defense actually read what I had written, they would see that I did not suggest - even remotely - that a plumber was inherently qualified to hold a cabinet position. What I said was that being a plumber should not disqualify a person from holding such a position. Big difference. Doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, fireman, and university professors are no more or less qualified to run the DHS than plumbers, electricians, or carpenters – but should they all be dismissed as “unqualified” simply because they made a living in some other vocation? As I wrote in my original post, credentials and diplomas are great ways to bolster a person’s credibility, especially if we’re talking about mastering a specific skill. I think we can all agree that plumbers, accountants, mechanics, and surgeons should all have to prove themselves competent before hanging out a shingle. But what do their credentials and diplomas have to do with their actual competency? Are we not already surrounded by a legion of perfectly qualified experts who don't know what the hell they're doing? Moreover, what do credentials and experience have to do with wisdom, honesty, common sense, integrity, courage, the ability to lead, or any other virtue we’d like to have in our elected officials? There are plenty of legitimate reasons to question Mullin’s suitability for this role. But there’s no legitimate reason to disqualify him simply because he used to be a plumber. Just as there was no legitimate reason to dismiss AOC because she used to tend bar. As for the joke itself, here’s an honest question. If Senator Mullin was a retired doctor instead of a retired plumber, do you believe he would have would made the same joke? Roger, Rebecca, Patrick...be honest. Do you really think Jimmy would have said to his audience, "So, now we have a DOCTOR in charge of protecting us from terrorism? Hey – it worked for Dr. Suess – maybe it’ll work for Markwayne!" Personally, I don't. Not in a million years. Why? Because no one would have found it funny, that’s why. Even though doctors are no more “qualified” to protect us from terrorists than plumbers are, Jimmy knows that doctors are widely respected in society, and that plumbers are not. He knows that medical degrees and doctorates are aspirational credentials, whereas plumbing certificates are not. The entire premise of his joke was based on a personal bias that he knew his audience shared – a bias that presupposes plumbers are uneducated, one-dimensional workers who never made it to college, and are therefore "unqualified" to do anything but plumb. Jimmy is entitled to his opinion, along with anyone else who believes that Mullin is unqualified to lead the DHS. The Constitution, however, says otherwise, and so does the Senate. Likewise, reasonable people can disagree as to what is funny and what isn’t. Frankly, I couldn’t care less. What I do care about, is the extraordinary shortage of plumbers and electricians our country is facing, and the longstanding stigmas and stereotypes that continue to discourage people from considering a lucrative career in the skilled trades. Jimmy’s joke – and his audience’s reaction to it – is proof positive that those stigmas and stereotypes are alive and well. PS. We have a lot of money set aside to help train the next generation of plumbers. Apply for a scholarship at mikeroweworks.org Who knows? Could be the first step on your road to President..

🚨 Democrat Senator Harry Reid introduced legislation in 1993 to end Birthright Citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.
"No sane country would do that — No sane country would give illegals citizenship"
“If you break our laws by entering this country without permission and give birth to a child, we reward that child with U.S. Citizenship and a guarantee to have full access to all public and social services this society provides.”
