The Pope has died at age 88, just two weeks after coming home from a five-week hospital stay for pneumonia and just hours after making a surprise Easter appearance at the Vatican.

Kinda funny. You gotta click on it to see the note apparently.

Is this a pepsi?

Possibly by the end of the week. We’ve reached an agreement with a candidate and the final contract is being drawn up as we speak. It should be signed either by the end of this week or the beginning of the next one. There’s still some things that might pop up that could scuttle it, but I’d say it’s about 95-99% likely based on the inside scoop I’m hearing.

I was “sworn to secrecy” about who it is but I can say 90-95% of the fans will be happy with the switch. The remainder will be only those few who still loved Taggart, those who want O’Dell to take over a top flight position (as this signing will prove) without real experience as a HC and the NFL geeks who wanted Sanders with no real HC experience. The only hints I’ll add is that if it goes through as expected no one can say FSU is being cheap and some broadcast media are going to look foolish.

I was told that while the official final contract is being drawn up and reviewed, we will continue interviewing candidates just in case something goes wrong last minute so we’re not stuck with Norvell or Mark Stoops and that those meetings may be leaked not to add pressure to the one we’re waiting on a signed contract with but to show due diligence to the fan base and media.

Trump pardons a supporter facing 40 years for fraud.

Of course.

Black and gold to the black and gold.

Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, has reacted to US Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins’ decision to ensure that illegal immigrants do not receive federal food benefits paid for by hardworking American taxpayers.

Rollins had on Friday directed the US Department of Agriculture to make sure that illegal immigrants don’t receive federal food benefits paid for by hardworking American taxpayers.

She also issued guidance to state agencies to strengthen SNAP eligibility verification.

Reacting, Johnson in a post on his X Twitter account, thanked Rollins and also US President Donald Trump for putting the American people first.

He insisted that hardworking Americans should not be made to pay the bill for illegal aliens.

Johnson wrote: “Hardworking Americans shouldn’t have to foot the bill for illegal aliens.

“These programs are meant for citizens who truly need them, no one else. Thank you @SecRollins and @POTUS for putting the American people FIRST.”

Rollins’ latest move seeks to align the department with President Trump’s executive order seeking to end taxpayer subsidization of the open borders crisis.

Beast!!!! you are in the same world as Jack Campbell and Sam LaPorta in my book of being a team first dude. 35 carrys is a toll. Well done young man.....go make some money in the NFL!!!!!

Not that there is a lot of Hawkeye basketball to talk about right now, I thought rather than 40 different threads, why not just have a mega thread. Up tonight, game #6, and they need that first win. I think they finally get it.

Trump's Truth Social Platform Hints at Feb. 21 Launch​

An iOS App Store listing teases a launch on President's Day.

Donald Trump’s social media platform might be gearing up to launch on Feb. 21, according to a listing on the Apple App Store.

A pre-order page for Truth Social on the iOS App Store has been quietly updated to mention an “expected Feb. 21, 2022” arrival date.


(Apple)

The developer behind the platform, Trump Media & Technology Group, didn’t respond to a request for comment. But according to Reuters, the Feb. 21 date is legit, citing an unnamed source familiar with the plans for Truth Social.

A launch on Feb. 21 would also be fitting, considering it’s the President Day’s holiday.

Trump was permanently banned from Twitter and suspended from Facebook and YouTube after his supporters stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. In response, Trump has been developing Truth Social, a pro-free speech social media platform that’s designed to counter the alleged censorship from “Big Tech.”

“Unlike with the Big Tech platforms, there will be no shadow-banning, throttling, demonetizing, or messing with algorithms for political manipulation,” Trump said back in October. “We will not silence our fellow citizens simply because they might be wrong—or worse, because we think that Americans ‘can’t handle the truth.’”

Wanted to get this one started.
