Trump's Tariffs Violate the Constitutional Separation of Powers https://reason.com/2025/04/07/trumps-tariffs-violate-the-constitutional-separation-of-powers/ Agreed. The legislative branch needs to take back the powers it has basically abdicated to the executive branch. The U.S. Constitution demands it.

Yuck. I don't. Retractable roofs just add a tremendous cost and complexity to a project, costs that will of course be born by the taxpayers. The Bears need to built a traditional open air stadium or something like the Buffalo Bills are doing with their new stadium. Weather is part of the game.

How does the impeachment of a federal judge work within the judicial branch, Bobref? Does the legislative branch get involved?

Also this just in: FHS has posted for a new Athletic Director to replace longtime AD and coach Ed Niehaus: https://www.applitrack.com/wabash/onlineapp/default.aspx?AppliTrackPostingSearch=location:"Frankfort+High+School"

There is John Gagliardi and then everyone else. No question.

An easy pipeline when Prairie's coach is the son of Rick Peckinpaugh, who was the head coach at McCutcheon for 30+ years.

Clinton Prairie boy's basketball is surely benefitting from a transfer. Their second-leading scorer is a senior who played at Frankfort for the previous three seasons, and was arguably their best player. Now the Gophers are in the 1A title game and the Hot Dogs finished their season at 2-22, very possibly their worst season ever. Coincidence?

And only fitting that the only Indiana state basketball tournament finals attended by the inventor of the game was won by Frankfort.

Just so we are clear on my position. I don't support taxpayer funded stadiums under any circumstance. This "performance requirement" is IMHO just a smokescreen.

This makes me want to puke.

Mel Gibson Controversy Highlights a Bigger Scandal: Many Americans Lose Their Gun Rights for No Good Reason https://reason.com/2025/03/12/mel-gibson-controversy-highlights-a-bigger-scandal-many-americans-lose-their-gun-rights-for-no-good-reason/?itm_source=parsely-api A travesty indeed.

Mahmoud Khalil, the Great Rorschach Test https://reason.com/2025/03/11/mahmoud-khalil-the-great-rorschach-test/ Good questions. And does Mr. Trump's statement of "If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here." also pertain to American citizens, those were born and raised here? This is indeed a Rorschach test, and one that could open a nasty Pandora's box.

I believe so.

Here's a statistic to combat boredom. With their sectional victory Saturday night the Maconaquah Braves for the first time in school have sectional titles in the same year in: Football Girl's basketball Boy's basketball Girl's Cross Country

It's time again! Contacted your elected representatives and tell them this antiquated form of social control needs to go the way of the dodo bird. https://reason.com/2025/03/10/were-overdue-to-end-daylight-saving-time/

Why didn't the opposing coach tell his players to stop playing zone defense (as asinine decision once they knew the other team was going to play stall ball) and go to closely guarded man-to-man defense? Most every strategy in basketball as an opposing strategy that can counter it.

Pretty much true............

The big question is what do you do with same-name counties? For example I know there are both Clay and Greene counties in both states. And I believe the Illinois counties are ones that have voted to secede. A fight to the death between county residents to see who gets to keep their county name?

Now just waiting for Terry to hang it up as well...........

Government needs to just get out of the education business, first at the federal level then at the state/local level. The website the following commentary comes from has a definite Christian bent but the points are all still valid: https://teachdiligently.com/articles/getting-government-out-of-the-education-business

Happily married for 30+ years now. We just had a fantastic long weekend away from the house, staying at an Inn.

I will let her know. And no thanks Elon. Not interested.

I have posited these important questions to my spouse. Here are her responses: No. Not really. Maybe sentimental value? Drones will probably be around for a long time for recording games from a certain distance. The next big thing will be either be small cameras on the player's helmets and referee's hats or ocular implants with recording capability.
