Yep. This was brought up during the governors election in KY last year. The dem governor has signaled he would challenge the rules in KY although that would likely fail.
Ah, there go those “teens” again. Conner, Parker, and Jaxon are back at it.
The woman making the claim is a liberal. This is almost certainly a Biden job.
I went to college with several kids from Zwolle area, and most claimed to be Indian or part Indian. There are some weird last names in that area. Ebarb, Ezernack, Paddie.

I do agree we will probably be seeing a slightly higher percentage of white players. The emphasis on three pointers is giving white players more of an opportunity. Stephen A. needs to calm down a little though. It’s not the Lakers are going to have 12 white guys on the roster. They may have 3, possibly 4, starters.
Diversity does not appear to be Knoxvilles strength.
The Trump administration should start going after unpaid taxes by these children who are born in the US and then taken abroad. Once they are adults they have an obligation to pay their US taxes.
I watched the biography of Sandra Day O’Conner, and they openly discuss her having this strategy. The biographers and historians, of course, act like that was some sort of brilliant and nuanced approach. To me Gorsuch has been a very good SC justice. There have been a few cases I didn’t like his decision, but once he explains how he arrived there you have to give him credit.
I think the ACB choice has been an embarrassment to Trump. Hopefully this will persuade him to ignore the usual suspects choices. I would find out who Alito himself would recommend and seriously consider that candidate.

I stayed in Paris and Nice about 25 years ago. Most miserable nights of my life. No a/c in either place we stayed. These people have been stupid for a long time allowing government to dictate how cool you can be.
Benoit Benjamin went to Creighton because their coach was Willis Reed who was also from NorthLa. Evidently Reed did a good job of convincing him he could personally develop him as a big man.
One that I wished we would have got was Joey Brown from Morgan City. He was a 4 year starter at Georgetown, 90-94, who averaged about 10 points and 6 assists a game. We had some studs when he was coming out though with Chris Jackson and Mo Williamson.
This really doesn’t hurt him for the mean time, but to have censure from the home state is a bad sign for his reelection in a few years.

Now that they know who she is I’m sure they will contact any remaining family to determine if they knew she was pregnant, and who the father may be.
Gibson’s Donuts is awesome. If you tell them it’s your first time they’ll throw a donut at you. :lol: The cake style donuts are my favorite. As mentioned Gus’s Fried Chicken is really good. There are a few around Memphis metro with the original out in Mason. There’s a good burger joint called Dyers in Collierville. Been around a long time.
A lot of people don’t realize this, but Jack Hunt was a rare exception in his family that didn’t go to Georgia Tech. His older brother played football for GT, and Jack’s nephew will be the 5th straight generation to go and play either football or basketball there.

Sadly, it gave us an accurate look at what these kids grow up like. The families only look at them as a potential cash cow. A high percentage never make it past the collegiate level, and they’re not smart enough to at least take advantage of a free education. It’s depressing, but it’s the sad reality.
I think the only thing we could do would be to destroy infrastructure with the hope that the people rise up due to the collapse of everything.The other option is arming groups like the Kurds and let them do internal damage creating more instability on the ground. This has a bad track record though.

Yep. I miss Norm, but I miss Steve Irwin as well.
