And now, DOJ has demoted Brian Samuels as chief of the EDVA criminal division. What happens if DOJ collapses? The question was nonsensical once upon a time before Trump returned. Now, I'm not so sure things are going to hold up. L.A.'s interim USA got the boot by the courts, and they haven't bother to even nominate someone for the post.

U.S. Plans to Scrutinize Foreign Tourists' Social Media History
Even visitors from countries like Britain and France, whose citizens don't need visas, would be required to share five years' worth of social media.

8 years ago I bought this house. For 14,000.00
That is not a typeo, I paid less for this property that you would pay for a good used car.  There was some luck involved but there was several fixer upper type houses that were liveable were available in the 20,000 range.  2016-17

I've done some work but it's still in the late stages of "fixer upper".  I went to the bank to get a equity loan, I like the idea of taking some equity to live on.

I was hoping it would be worth maybe 70,000.

The official appraisal came yesterday

It's worth 87,500.00

This time, head coach Sherrone Moore - who had already been suspended for several games during the 2024 season following credible allegations that his coaching staff had been engaged in illegal sign-stealing from opposing teams - has been summarily fired by the university over an alleged "inappropriate relationship" with a female staffer associated with the football program.

This was soon followed by the now-suddenly former Coach Moore's apparent arrest mere hours later in Saline, MI for another undisclosed matter, reportedly a physical assault, which may or may not be related to today's firing. He was then turned over by Saline police to their counterparts in Pittsfield Township, where he is presently being held in Pittsfield Township Jail without bond, pending a review of charges by the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's office.

I noted "apparent arrest" above because as of this writing, Pittsfield Township police have not officially confirmed the identity of the suspect in question. However, both ESPN and ABC News have reported that the person in custody is indeed former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore, and that he'll remain in jail until a scheduled court hearing on Friday.

Meanwhile, the emotionally whiplashed Wolverines football team and its baffled players are now under the tutelage of associate head coach Biff Poggi, who has been named interim head coach by university administrators. And three weeks hence looms a date in the Citrus Bowl against the Texas Longhorns.

He, the Secretary of State and an unnamed politician were in the Oval Office discussing something "really, really important," when Trump stopped the discussion to say, "there is something much more important: shoes." Trump looked over the Resolute Desk to the men that they all have "sh***y shoes".

 Vance's party attendees roared with laughter.  "We got to get you better shoes," bleated Trump, and pulled out a shoe catalogue and promised to gift each of the men, four pairs of shoes--so he asked shoe sizes.

 "He says, Marco, what's your shoe size?" Marco claimed to be size 11 and a half. J.D. responded as being shoe size 13, and the politician, who remained unnamed so as not to embarrass him, says size 7."  

Trump leaned back on his chair and says, "you know you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size." Vance ended the Oval Office anecdote by turning to Mrs. Vance who was beside him, and said, "We won't ask the Second Lady for comment on this particular topic."
