When you single handedly destroy a football program & then lose to the same program you destroyed 20 years later. #ScelfoStyle #PuntOnThirdDown #AAC #Tulane #Tulsa

Congrats to Good Cheer. Fair Grounds Oaks @ @fairgroundsnola scores again....undaunted despite Churchill Downs' woeful mistreatment.

This is but a small price to pay so that we can get the $12/Hour textile jobs back!

the US has a fourth of China’s population. the only way we can compete with them in economies of scale is to more closely integrate our economies with our allies, so our populations can stack together. Trump is…not doing that

4 horse fields @fairgroundsnola on one of the biggest days of the year. This ongoing deterioration is what happens when the racing office operates like it's still running Evangeline Downs.

Super thread. The Vivek/Elon vision of parents-should-be-Tiger-moms and kids-should-be-STEM-monomaniacs is a million miles from what made America great.
One other way you see this are all the accounts of pianos in the houses of 19th century British farmers, or the festivals and music of American farmers in the countryside, or the many feast days of medieval Europe; work mattered, but was far from everything. Fun, beauty, and

"Trump said he would end “double taxation” on U.S. expats. A new bill attempts to turn that into reality." Buy a residence in no-tax country, transfer US assets to Caymans LLC. No more taxes. Christ, this is such bullshit. Just pure oligarchy. https://t.co/LBFrGO7rDl

The new plan would let Americans abroad choose to join residence-based tax system.

If the first order of business for ‘deficit reduction’ is tax cuts, because you know jOB cReAToRs or some similar supply-side bullshit narrative, then we’ll know it’s all just another oligarch scam.
Scott Bessent has solid goals I agree with. He will need more than business as usual to accomplish those. Deficits less than 3% of GDP? We are at 8% or more now. That will mean some HUGE cuts and lots of growth. Sincere hopes for the team!

@ShannonBream Makes total sense. Every time my neighbors yell abuse at me I run Old Glory upside down on the flagpole.

This is it in a nutshell. McKinsey advised AGAINST lowering takeout & advocated FOR Rebates. How much wronger could you get? This is why horse racing is dying because the customer is getting ground into the ground by computer groups getting rebates! @RepoleStable @PatCummingsNTA
A man no less than Dinny Phipps gives him the answer on a golden platter but he still didn't believe it

Tulane better take significant jump in this week’s CFP rankings… You can say they “played down to their competition” throughout conference play, but these dudes show up in a big way when they need to Only L to 10-win SEC team (played w/ backup QB and nearly pulled off upset)
