Re: 2025/2026 Elections Congressional & State

GOP frets ‘dangerous’ result in Tennessee Republicans won Tuesday’s special election in Tennessee. But instead of celebrating, many are dreading what it means about the midterms. Republican Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps’ roughly nine point win marks a massive shift toward Democrats from 2024, when Presi...

Re: Epstein Arrested

Trump's apparently finally realized what a lot of his party has been saying - the Epstein Files are likely to be more damaging to Democrats than to him personally. Unless it comes out that Trump was in contact with Epstein after their parting of the ways in the early 2000's, or if it comes out that ...

I agree, I don't think JMU's done anything to blame themselves for how the schedule turned out. Liberty being down was tough, and Washington St is just an example of how things could go in terms of conference shakeups. And yes, the Sun Belt hasn't been nearly as good as in past years, so that dip i...

I don't think Trump's squeaky clean - there are more than 20 credible cases of him sexually abusing women over the past 30 years or so, and he was convicted in one of them . He's a rotten person, especially when dealing with women in the past. But that doesn't mean that he's guilty in any and every...
