The Democrats beloved “Maryland father” has been returned to the U.S. Just like they had demanded. A grand jury in the Middle District of Tennessee returned a sealed indictment charging him with alien smuggling and conspiracy.

He was part of played a human smuggling ring operating for nearly a decade. AG Pam Bondi described him as a full-time smuggler who made more than 100 trips, transporting women, children, and MS-13 gang-affiliated persons throughout the United States.

When he was stopped in 2022 by Tennessee Hwy Patrol, who suspected he was smuggling illegal immigrants. They contacted ICE under Biden, but of course they did not respond, so he was let go.

I stumbled across his bio the other day. I knew all about him, anyway, but it was still stunning to be reminded.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with his story, I would recommend taking a look at Wikopedia.

He tried to enlist in the Army, Navy and Marines when he was 16 during WW2, but was turned down because he was too small. He stood 5-5 and weighed 112 pounds. The next year he got his sister to back up his lie that he was 18 and he was accepted, although he was still the same size. He ended up as the most decorated soldier in U.S. history, being awarded virtually every medal the U.S. offers, including the Medal of Honor, as well as similar honors from France.

Back in the states, he wrote songs and had a fairly successful career as a movie actor.

I don't think this one was on many radars. Iowa State hosted Wessell on an official visit over the weekend, extended an offer and has landed a commitment. The Missouri native recently earned an offer from Wake Forest, which marked his other Power-4 offer.

... I see Ioway just lost their fringe 4-star recruit Cash Hererra, who decommitted today. He had been a SQUAWK since October. He was probably more Cash than Ioway could afford.

They would also add North Carolina Clemson Florida State from ACC and a few others from Big 12 not named Iowa State

Same drill as last night. I'll be in Ames for tonight's final prospect camp of 2025. Highlights and notes coming throughout the evening.

Here are the three early headliners, although I'm sure more will emerge once we get rolling. The three below enter camp with Iowa State offers already in hand.

Marist Newsom and Bass are helping to burn down LA right now. Democrats are making it clear that the Law is to be ignored. They are actually working to make LA a blue sh#thole. Any wonder why people can not wait to leave the blue states?

And the democratic donors are putting all their money behind Newsome, because they are so racist to think that a women or a black person can not lead their party, they want specifically a white male. Thingk of that, democratic leadership is opposed to blacks and women!

Same drill as last week. I'll be in Ames for tonight's prospect camp. Highlights and notes coming throughout the evening.

Bill has just informed me, that with the retirement of Jim Percival, yours truly will be the new Cyclone Report football photographer!!!! I'm looking forward to continuing the tradition of bringing you the great shots that Jim caught over the years!!!!

As I'll be back for every home game this fall, I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can. Maybe we can start a feature of some of your tailgating gangs as well!

Big thank you to Bill for this opportunity, and hats off to Jim for shooting Cyclone football as long as I've been alive!!!
