Above the fold
Ten Piece Nuggets
Git yersef sum.
- President Biden visited the border in El Paso yesterday and not a single homeless camp nor any illegals were trying to cross. It’s amazing what he can accomplish when he puts his mind to it. He actually said he needs the Republicans to help solve the situation as well. Oh, yes he did.
- Who possibly buys into this? A CBS poll said 47% of Americans are “hopeful” for America with Biden as president as they see the country today. That’s who we guess. “There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics,” said Mark Twain.
- All of that said, the Biden camp is dropping hints that he is gearing up for an April announcement to run in 2024. A recent Rasmussen Reports survey taken during the last week of the year found that only 33 percent of likely voters in the United States want to see Biden run for a second term in 2024. As Don king used to say, “Only in America.”

The Mars candy company said Thursday it will debut all-female M&M’s packages for a limited time to honor women. The company’s feminist-themed candy wrappers will feature only its female characters. Isn’t that moving?

4. Virginia Tech denied any wrongdoing but settled with soccer player Kiersten Hening for 100k. Hening claimed she was removed from her starting position and pressured to leave the team after she declined to kneel during a reading of a “unity statement” before a game against UVA on Sept. 12, 2020, during the height of the BLM movement. Good for her.
- Speaking of BLM, can anyone, and we mean anyone, tell us what the organization did in any community to better it with the money that poured in from Johnny-come-lately, suddenly for the cause companies? We’ll look in the comments section for the answers.
- Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin ran his streak to 16 seasons of .500-or-better as the man. It is the longest in NFL history to begin a coaching career. The Steelers’ winning organization is the epitome of stability in the NFL.
- At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Houston Texans fired HC Lovie Smith after just one season. This comes after they fired David Culley last year after just one season as their leader. If you count Romeo Crennel, who was the interim for 12 games in 2020 after Bill O’Brien was fired, the next coach the Texans hire will be their fifth in four seasons.
- Mattress Mack is at it again. His customers who buy mattresses ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 or so will get double their money back if TCU wins Monday night’s championship game. McIngvale hedged the promo with a $1.5 million bet on the TCU moneyline +370 at DraftKings – a wager that would net $5.55 million in profit if the Horned Frogs win.
- Vegas is begging you to take that bloated TCU +13.5 line. Makes one think that the game won’t be close. TCU has confounded the “experts” all year though. We’ll take the plunge along with Mack.
It’s the first five-day work week of the year for everyone but Joe Biden. Enjoy!

Engage. Enrage. Enjoy.
I can’t site any community good BLM did with the millions it received from woke companies, but I can recommend that BLM offer several million to help out the unemployed black life of Lovie Smith.
Lovie has been fired from more jobs than most of us ever held.
He walks into the sunset of his coaching career with his head held high and his wallet full, worry not.
Why ask why as someone once said to Packer fans as they strolled through the tunnel in January, at home, when leaving the frozen tundra. Things are not supposed to happen, but they do.
El Paso is not supposed to have clean streets but it did. Women’s soccer isn’t thought of as vehicle for change but it is. TCU isn’t usually a contender, but they are.
BLM isn’t accountable but they should be. Houston isn’t a football town but it should be. Prince Harry isn’t giving up his royal title but he should be.
And best of all, Jeffery Epstein has a client list that isn’t published but it should be.
Excellent on all fronts even with the TCU shellacking of an evening ago.
