More coming in the next day or two on Haliburton's bond with Iowa State and the basketball program that's remained strong!

Lots going on this week with Biden self destructing, and now SCOTUS rulings (with more to come).

SCOTUS rules that the obstruction law used to charge most of the Jan 6 participants was incorrectly applied, that it was a law put into place to prevent the physical destruction of evidence (Enron Case). Likely many of the Jan 6 cases will be completely changed if not dismissed. Just obstructing a congressional proceeding doe not = destroying physical records.

Then they rule on the Chevron law, which was from 40 years ago, that allowed government agencies to "interpret vague laws made by congress" . This policy effectively created the 4th branch of government. SCOTUS just eliminated most if not all the law, so government agencies must only act upon specific law and not "interpret" what needs to be done. This means that government agencies (democrats) just had a sledge hammer taken to their power structure. Unelected administrators do not have the right to create law. Congress must make very specific laws, and not just pass the buck to agencies. For example, you can not have a government agency make some rule that gas stoves are banned (yes they did just try this). It would take an act of congress to do this. This is HUGE, this is a direct attack on democrats(the deep state). It takes a whole lot of power away from these agencies. Needless to say, democrats are pissed.

Just looked at Iowa's schedule and Second Take's predicted finish of teams in the Big 10. Yes, they do play Ohio State at Ohio State. But according to this prediction their next two toughest opponents are Nebraska and Wisconsin. Both predicted in the middle of the pack but in the upper half. Both of these games are at Kinnick. All their other B10 opponents are predicted to be in the lower half of the conference. They do not play Oregon (2), Penn State (3), Michigan (4) or USC (6) who along with OSU (1) and Iowa (5) are predicted at the top. How to they get schedules like this year after year?

Wonder who wrote the letter for him?
A. Dr. Jill
B. Hunter
C. Chief of Staff Jeff Zients
D. KJP, the binder lady
E. Fani Willis
F. Biden “Bear” Clone

I thought Drinkwitz was not going to make at Mizzou two years ago, but he seems to have parlayed a decent rebound year into a very stellar recruiting class. https://www.rockmnation.com/2024/7/...-eli-drinkwitz-four-star-tackle-lamont-rogers

Hilarious!

Not sorry to see them go for a variety of reasons. They are back with A&M where they belong. I'll celebrate with one of the best things that has come out of Texas.

Gonna be a great next three days in Sin City. This afternoon is Team USA basketball practice and a Tyrese Haliburton media availability. Hope to get him off to the side as well for a one-on-one.

Tuesday is Iowa State’s turn at Big 12 football media days, then Wednesday is the Team USA/Team Canada exhibition game. I’m hoping to get Melvin Ejim for a few minutes afterwards.

I could give a sh** about recruiting rankings.
We beat TX with all their 4 and 5 star players!

Performance on the field is what counts. Even with our low ranked classes, we are still looked at as a contender for the title. Those who know the staff understand we find and sign undervalued recruits.

This year is gonna be a surprise on the good side of things because of our o-line. We WILL move the ball.

This article has a couple different tallies, but both Cal & UCLA will fly over 20,000 miles this season.

As someone who has flown a lot over the years, I'm just sayin'...this is going to wear on the kids, staff's, etc.


Being in the middle of the country isn't so bad....

And...just wait until hoops road trips are added up....

The cardinal vs black online personified 😂

Crackhead to the rescue!!!!

Ice Cream is what dementia caregivers use to keep dementia patients from exploding with frustration. The liberal press just laughs and claims Joe just really loves Ice cream, as he is always eating it. Maybe they should actually do their jobs.

Ice Cream for Dementia patients.

Had the best game of all of the Lakers rookies and 2nd year guys in the 1st summer league game.

Too bad he has no chance of sticking because he’s old and his dad isn’t named LeBron.

Feel sorry for the White House food taster right now. Yes, that is a real position.

FWIW neighbor shared with me his grand-neice recently committed to West VA WVB. Full ride plus $10K/yr. Says her Sis is at Alabama with similar situation though I would expect more $, he didn't know for sure on the $ amount.

$10K/yr NIL for WVB at WVU I have no clue about this market, anyone else?

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – From Marv Seiler’s 78-yard run in 1992 to running backs Troy Davis and Breece Hall running wild, Jack Trice Stadium has seen many memorable moments in its first 49 seasons.

In 2024, Iowa State will be celebrating 50 seasons at Jack Trice Stadium, presented by MidAmerican Energy.

On Monday, July 8, Iowa State launched a website commemorating the stadium’s history. Fans can read about the vision of ISU President W. Robert Parks and Athletics Director Lou McCullough back in 1972 and relive the biggest moments since its opening in 1975.

Hundreds of photos of Jack Trice Stadium through the years, game programs and the players and coaches that have driven your passion for Cyclone football are featured on the website. Whether you want to learn more about the naming of the stadium or find out what the largest Iowa State comeback at the stadium is, it’s all there.

Every Cyclone remembers the big wins – like the 2011 win against No. 2 Oklahoma State that busted the BCS or the dominant win over No. 6 West Virginia in Brock Purdy’s first home start in 2018 – and we’ve compiled 50 memorable victories through the years.

So sit back, Cyclone Nation, and take a ride down memory lane. Visit the website by clicking here.

Happy Independence Day! Let freedom ring!

How are you spending your day, or holiday weekend? I'm a glutton for punishment and am using it to get some work done on the home. My primary project for today and the weekend is installing new carpet in a three season porch. I'm going with carpet squares. I used them in another three seasons porch and it went great. Hoping for a similar result in this porch. Hopefully the link works for a look at the finished product in porch #1:

New carpet installed in three seasons porch

I've already got the old carpet pulled out and the room mostly empty. I got the room cleaned up this morning and am now putting chalk lines down to guide the installation. This is where I slow down and make my plan. I've got almost an inch of slop around most of the perimeter of the room where the carpet hides under an electrical channel so the fit doesn't need to be exactly the wall. You can't see it once it's tucked under the channel.

Watching some liberal bloggers who are absolutely pissed that the Democratic Party has brought them to this point. They know Biden was humiliated tonight. They are begging for Obama to head to the WH and tell Biden to retire. They even referred to the Democratic party a the dying empire( and it is).

A live presidential gambling poll has Biden down to 20 %, with Trump leading by 40+ points in the gambling poll. Newsom is up to 9%.
