US continues to go forward

We got our NCAA settlement:
* Previous players get paid lost $ opps to the tune of a couple billion at the cost of the schools.
* Schools can pay athletes directly up to 20.5 million for full ath dept. Goes up 4% a year for a decade.
* NIL payments over $600 will face evaluation for actual value.

At least it’s no longer the wild west.

KOTV just reported Texas Tech is going to complement the $20.5M with another $34.5M and have an annual budget of $55M/year to be paid to the student-athletes. The KOTV report said this likely puts them at the highest in the nation (at least for now). Additional NIL on top of that.

Need to move this to “US going backwards”. :confused:

Well hopfully the new NIL rules will keep that from happening. Thier athletes don't have anywhere near that value on an open market.
 

Supreme Court unanimously greenlights lawsuit over FBI's botched raid​

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Thursday that an Atlanta family whose home was mistakenly raided by the FBI in 2017 can move forward with their lawsuit.

The decision stems from a pre-dawn incident in which an FBI SWAT team broke down the family's front door, deployed a flashbang grenade, and pointed weapons at Trina Martin, her then-boyfriend Toi Cliatt, and her 7-year-old son, only to realize moments later they had entered the wrong house.

Why It Matters​

The ruling is significant in the broader debate over law enforcement accountability, particularly concerning mistaken raids. Public interest groups had urged the justices to reverse the lower court decision, arguing it set a dangerous precedent that would make it nearly impossible for victims of wrongful police actions to seek justice. The case also raises questions about sovereign immunity and the limits of the Federal Tort Claims Act, which governs lawsuits against the government.
 
NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions.

This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

Just a reminder for all those "The Civil War wasn't about Slavery" Folks


1862, Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.

That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.

1863, Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation.

I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander-in-Chief, of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do ... order and designate as the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof respectively, are this day in rebellion, against the United States, the following, to wit:

Lincoln then listed the ten states<

I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free. ... uch persons of suitable condition, will be received into the armed service of the United States. ... And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution, upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God.

No my HS girlfriend was Presbyterian and her dad would do the night service sometimes. I wanted to hear him but my folks were concerned about the theology because “the Presbyterians don’t really believe in anything”.

That kind of Pentecostal…. Assembly of God. Close enough to Baptist people arrest scared of you but crazy enough you know they are all talking behind your back.
