For those heading to West Lafayette, enjoy the weekend. Purdue has a great campus with some iconic watering holes.

Check out Triple XXX and Harry’s Chocolate Shop. And explore some of the great monuments on campus like the Armstrong Footprints.

Here’s my writeup from 2022 - when we squeaked by with some late-game heroics from Cliff.

OK, I'd vote for her. I am always leary of women who use three names but I think she nails this interview pretty well.

It's a pretty good article. For any Democrat wanting to talk trash, it reminds me of NFL players playing on teams talking trash when behind 33-3. The opposing players point to the big screen and say "Scoreboard". There is no appropriate response to that.

Pelosi is blaming Biden. Isn't she one of the ones who pushed Biden in 2020 and covered up his declining cognitive abilities until it was too late?

In the end, there was so much noise and smoke from both sides people tuned out. So what happened?

• the long-awaited push back from COVID. COVID destroyed any credibility the govt or media (and the healthcare industry) had. I think it was covered up by abortion rulings as SCOTUS but eventually caught up. This is the first national election since COVID policies got exposed. Neither party exploited it directly as both were at fault, but the distrust of govt was an issue on Trump's side
• Biden wasn't going to win. Kamala gave them a better chance but when she didn't say what she'd do differently, it crashed.
• Immigration was huge and tied to the economy. Why have a "minimum wage" when you support millions of people being hired illegally and side stepping minimum wage?
• Economy. Biden lied about jobs and inflation, they falsely pumped up the economy in the short term, but the damage was done. They mitigated it but that was that.
• Trans rights. The ad was very effective. Democrats are giving housing and free debit cards to illegal aliens while vets are homeless and suffer. Dems gutted Title IX and woman's rights to support a very small number of trans rights. Again and again, the Dems put partisanship in front of fighting for established citizens.
• Media and celebrities no longer matter. This is a tough pill for the media and they will suffer greatly. Should Trump give credentials to MSNBC and CNN? What would their argument be to get them over a Joe Rogan or Charlamaign the God? Bezos was right, as he often is. (but he's marrying that weird gal at Xmas so not infallible). What has been consider "the media" for the last 100 years is no longer accurate.

They can learn something here.

Trump broke the Democrats’ thermostat​

The article suggests Trump's election radicalized the left. Turned them far left in fact. It supports the notion that they have become a cult. Poor LafayetteBear....... He's missing a great read from which he could learn something about himself and his beloved cult.

and Rubio's nomination is made official too.

Been thinking about asking this for a couple weeks. But seems more apropos today……

What do you have in your bugout bag? Critical things like water filtration, shelter, Food, fire started, weapons, tools, maps. Communication devices.

What websites would you recommend on this? Do you have more than one…. Home, car, work, secret stash?

Potentially crazy times ahead…..

So far there are some very high cost estimates for this signature promise from DJT. There have been loads of MAGA defenders makingstatements that the price for this is not material and would produce huge benefits.
On the other hand there have been estimates from a number of economists and organizations that predict a price of between $1.5 - $2.5 trillion dollars. In addition, there are estimates of increased inflation with segments like construction, agriculture, and meat processing.

some interesting times could be in our future.

The link is paywalled so I'll paste the meat of the article. The stuff I snipped out is background stuff. The complaint isn't yet available.

Without knowing the facts and specific allegations, corporations must hold annual meetings and make their books available to minority shareholders under certain conditions, so I imagine plaintiffs (yet more Floreanis) are going to get what they're asking for from the court. This doesn't mean we'll get to see anything but it's still interesting.

FloSports Hit With Shareholder Suit In Chancery​

By Emilie Ruscoe ·

Law360 (July 6, 2023, 4:47 PM EDT) -- Four stockholders have sued sports streaming company FloSports Inc. in Delaware's Court of Chancery, seeking corporate books and records and alleging it had been years since they'd gotten financial updates from the company.

FloSports investors MMF Family Partners Ltd., Christina Floreani, Charlene Floreani and John Joseph Williamson launched the action Wednesday. It's currently under seal alongside a motion to expedite the proceedings.

The investors also filed as an exhibit the November 2022 books and records request they sent Austin, Texas-based FloSports, and said in their motion to expedite that they'd sent a follow-up request in June that has since been refused by the company.

"Since 2018, the company has failed to provide the holders with any financial reports or other disclosures," the investors said in their November letter to the company. "Additionally, there have been no shareholder meetings since 2018."

[....]

The investors are represented by Emanuel Grillo of Allen & Overy LLP and Scott J. Leonhardt of The Rosner Law Group LLC.

Counsel information for the company wasn't immediately available Thursday.

The case is MMF Family Partners Ltd. et al. v. FloSports Inc., case number 2023-0684, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.

You can’t be openly hostile to men for two decades and expect to retain the male vote

Nor can you give Walz the VP nod and expect it. The guy is a f'ing loser.
