Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

today will be the warmest day we’ve had in maybe 6 months here in New England. 75°!

the forecast calls for one hour of sun without clouds.

what a gentle reminder that in life we do not get to have it all. we will not have a beautiful sunny 75° day without any clouds, as there must be balance. we cannot exist in a world of perfect.

however, we can live in a world of good enough. I’m thankful for the warmth, while making peace with the clouds. it’s good enough for me. I’ll smile at the clouds kno…

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The Loneliness No One Talks About

No one warns you about the loneliness that comes with growing.

The silence when old friendships stop fitting, but new ones haven’t formed.

The ache of outgrowing places, conversations, even versions of yourself.

Growth is beautiful, but it can also be isolating.

Keep growing anyway. You’ll find your kindred spirits.

Imagine if, reading a book, there was no option to turn it back to the previous page.

How carefully, would you read that book. That's life.

Cal, Stanford reportedly don't have ACC votes needed for an invite yet, but are they coming?
ABA Ivan Davis's avatar

The a c c does not have a choice. If they want to remain relevant is a power five cothey need both Stanford and the University of California period especially if Florida is talking about leaving. On top of that, the media market here is the fourth largest in the nation, and that is a big time footprint for the a c c.

That's my take too - I mean the only reason to vote no I would think is as a vote of "we want out of this conference." Assuming that the big football schools will leave the ACC as soon as practical, we're the best options available for the ACC - otherwise they'll be looking at raiding lower tier conferences and be in the same boat as the Pac currently is. It's not very often that schools of Stanford and Cal's caliber (granted not the most awesome time for either in revenue sports) are just available like this.

I do think the ACC eventually offers and what will be interesting is if that pushes the Big Ten to change their thinking - it's one thing when it's abstract, it might well be another when their chance for a west coast pod of high quality academic schools is about to go poof.
