    https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/31/politics/mystery-call-gap-trump-jan-6-white-house-phone-logs/index.html

    There could be various reasons that explain the gap in the call log itself.
    One possibility is that Trump was speaking to people from a cell phone. As CNN has previously reported, Trump had a habit of using his and other people's phones to make or receive calls.
    Another explanation could be that Trump had aides place direct calls from the Oval Office, bypassing the switchboard.
    A former White House staffer who served in the Obama administration told CNN that if then-President Barrack Obama wanted to make a call to someone from the Oval Office, he would normally ask an aide seated nearby to dial the person. The aide would then call the number and hit transfer to connect the caller to the President.
    That call would not go through the White House switchboard and therefore would not be recorded on the White House switchboard log, the former staffer said.
    Another factor seems to be where Trump was when he made certain calls. All the calls noted from the January 6 log indicate they were made from the White House residence, suggesting Trump relied on the switchboard to put those calls through. The missing calls appear to start when the diary notes Trump has moved from the residence to the Oval Office.

    It's funny that the almost exclusive news this past week from the January 6 committee was the mystery wondering why the guilty party (Former President Trump) wasn't brought up on treason since there was such a gap in the WH phone records on January 6.  Afterall, he had to be using "burner" phones since he was such a criminal.  (Without questioning why there were similar gaps on a daily basis prior to and after, as well as the fact that the previous President, Barack Hussein Obama, had the same habit).  

    SF wonders if there will be any apologies to DJT over this.  Maybe they will go back to bad-mouthing Mrs. Thomas next week......

     

     

    Shhh.  The sheep don't like facts.

    More people need to be transparent and honest with kids.  Once again, this is not about beliefs.  Making a decent living beyond athletics should be a priority and top goal for every human being.

    Make sure you are sitting down for this one @DE…I’ve even seen this process of honesty that I’m referring to given an academic moniker:  spirit murdering.

    Bingo!

  3. and the left saying this and that about phone records regarding 1/6/21......more fake news.

    cnn reporting it.

    to the people that believe all this 🐂💩

    boy are you all gullible and need to check your critical thinking skills...

    Nice. Where’s that thick skin now?
     

    Education was the most important for me. But I’m not a kid from the inner city, a single parent family, who thinks he has a chance to monetize the fact that he can run a 4.3 40 and help his family, maybe tap into generational, life-changing wealth. You going to decide what’s most important for that kid?

    No, but I am also not the one proclaiming that they ONLY need to use athletics to get out.  Your ism is showing right through.  That thinking is soooo 70s-80s-90s.  Not very progressive of you.  Bernie would not be proud of you now.\

    Go look what is happening at West Side.  Things are going GREAT over there.  You are welcome in advance.  Think Ivy League.  But hey, facts don't matter to some.  ✌️

    Don't play the victim card here.  You were the one tossing that crap at me years back and got called out when your skin was chicken thin.

    Which points to the entire screwed up world of "big time" college athletics.  Classically why does an individual enroll at a college or university?  To get an education. But I guess now it's clear that many enroll to just play football, basketball, etc.  with the hopes of becoming a professional at that sport one day.  And education is a secondary priority, if it's a priority at all.     

    So let's just stop the charade.   Completely separate D1 college/university athletic departments, or at least the big money making sports like football and basketball,  from being under the auspices of the university president and board of trustees.   It will be become basically an "amateur" club sport organization that is allowed by the college/university to bear it's name, mascot, school colors, etc.   Members of this club sport organization don't have to enroll at the affiliated university unless they want to, or they focus 100% on their athletic endeavors. 

    Let's just stop the hypocrisy.

     

     

     

    THANK YOU!

  6. I was never a gun owner until the summer of 2020 when I was witnessing all the Burning.  Looting.  Murdering.  Rioting going on all in the name of "social justice".

    I however, have ALWAYS been a supporter of the 2A.

    We have it for a reason.

    Check out all countries that have banned their 2A and tell me how that has worked historically.

    So supporters of school choice in Indiana are also racists.  Got it.

     

    People are utterly clueless and can not think for themselves.  Throwing the terms racist and all the other progressive buzz words around has totally blown back in their faces and lost all meaning.

    People that throw those words around are the true ones.  They are using old Nazi techniques....blame others of what you are guilty of doing.

    Isn’t it a bit presumptuous for you to be deciding what’s most important for someone else? Someone whose circumstances may be radically different from what you view as the norm? Somehow, I just can’t square that with the philosophy of personal liberty and individual freedom of choice you’ve espoused when pushing your right wing political agenda over on the OOB. It’s quite the paradox.

    You serious Clark?

    You do not think education is the most important?  😂

    That's rich coming from such a smart guy who attended ND and IU.  Or should I stay in may lane again?

    Facts do not see a political agenda Bob.  Get your head out of your a$$.

    That is how you reach the top SEC teams, building that kind of depth at key positions. 
    I also do not see it all as ND giving up on anyone. There is a two year gap between the two, and Moore has to see that with his remaining choices, his chances to start right away are low……unless he impresses his coaches that much. 

    I do not think ANYONE is arguing this.  Think we ALL agree on that.  My question is.....if Tyler B is considered the "chosen one" and the TP/FA is so popular today, is the "chosen one" REALLY the "chosen one"?  The answer is simple.  No.  No he is not.

    ND has been all in on this to the point that if he goes elsewhere I’m not sure what the Irish do. He’s been to south bend a few times, recently for a 2 day visit. Rumor was he could be announcing soon and shut it all down but after his visit to ND he said he’ll schedule his official visits. Which means LSU, Ole Miss, Michigan and others will get a chance to wine dine and NIL the young man to come to school there 

    Which solidifies my point that Tyler B. is not "the chosen one".

    Having a surplus of top flight talent at the position would be a nice problem to have.

    I agree, but I did not anoint a kid "the chosen one" which indicates, by the recruitment of a 5 star QB, he is not as sure of thing as some think.

    And with all the transfer portal/free agency in college football, is it a nice problem to have?

    Kid says he’s in no rush.  Wish he’d stay in state but looks like an uphill climb for my Wolverines.

    Most think it’s ND vs the SEC.

    Smart choice.  Why would you be, if you have your picks?

    None of the clubs(at least in basketball) are allowed to practice/play during IHSAA school ball season. It's against IHSAA rules to participate on the same team in an organized event with athletes from other schools

    👍 

    And no. Hell hasn’t frozen over.

    So, we need to protect these kids from themselves … even though they are free to monetize their athletic prowess. That sort of paternalism doesn’t fly in 2021. Sounds a bit like a restraint of trade to me.

    All these benefits (playing a sport, traveling the world, NIL, free agency, “free” clothing, books, food, housing, etc) AND the most important is being tossed in the trash…..education.

    Trust me Bob, the bar was not set real high in my expectations of the government. I believe in the Hippocratic Oath, it mentions something about “do no harm”.  

    I am watching a video of Fauci on C-Span on a video clip shared with me.  He discusses the importance of natural immunity.

    Ironic thing is, I can not find it on youtube.  🤷‍♂️

    I was a little surprised they kept it in Orchard Park....I kept hearing downtown.  The area close to where the Sabres play by the Lake Erie waterfront is nice.

    Good for them...glad this will keep the Bills at home and not in Toronto or some other city that would have absolutely paid for the team.

    I did read that each luxury box comes with 10 break away tables....
