JOIN ICE

[Verse 1]
Well, if you’re lookin’ for purpose in the current circus
If you’re seekin’ respect and attention
If you’re in need of a gig that’ll make you feel big
Come with me and put some folks in detention

[Verse 2]
Just last week was kind of tough, I put a kid in cuffs
I zip-tied a lady to a van
We can sneak around town, hunt workin’ folks down
I hear they got a great benefit plan

[Chorus]
Join ICE, boy, ain’t it nice?
Join ICE, take my advice
If you’re lackin’ control and authority
Come with me and hunt down minorities
Join ICE

[Verse 3]
Well, I failed the academy, the cops weren’t havin’ me
The Army didn’t sound that fun
So I found me a paramilitary operation
That was keen to hand me a gun

[Verse 4]
I got picked on at school, I never felt that cool
There’s a hole in my soul that just a-rages
All the ladies turned me down, and I felt like a clown
But will you look at me now, I’m puttin’ folks in cages

[Chorus]
At ICE, we’re respectin’ power
Join ICE, I hear they got great hours
There’s a sign-on bonus of 50 grand
They’re in need of you needin’ to feel like a man
Join ICE

Look at ’em go!

[Verse 5]
Well, if you’re lookin’ for purpose in the current circus
If you’re seekin’ respect and attention
If you’re in need of a gig that’ll make you feel big
Come with me and put some folks in detention

[Verse 6]
See I failed the academy, the cops weren’t havin’ me
The Army didn’t sound that fun
So I found me a paramilitary operation
That was keen to hand me a gun

[Chorus]
Join ICE, boy, ain’t it nice?
Join ICE, take my advice
If you’re lackin’ control and authority
Come with me and hunt down minorities
Join ICE

“…Oh yeah, the boy can play.”

THE EVANGELICALS WHO SEE TRUMP’S VICIOUSNESS AS A VIRTUE

From THE ATLANTIC (by Peter Wehner )

Much of today’s evangelical world sees Trump’s viciousness not as a vice but as a virtue, so long as it is employed against those they perceive as their enemies, against those whom they resent and for whom they have a seething hatred. Unless you’ve spent time in the evangelical world, fully appreciating the level of antipathy that exists toward Democrats and progressives is difficult. The only thing that exceeds it is the loathing reserved for the Christians and conservatives who broke with Trump because their commitment to their faith, and to cherished moral truths, required them to speak out against him.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

NYT today-

Using a proprietary search tool, The New York Times identified more than 5,300 files containing more than 38,000 references to Mr. Trump, his wife, his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, and other related words and phrases in the latest batch of emails, government files, videos and other records released by the Justice Department. Previous installments of the Epstein files, which the department released late last year, included another 130 files with Trump-related references.

****************************

What are the odds?

Wonder what % of all these files and references and emails and government files and videos and records have “redactions”?

Do references to sexually transmitted disease from “Russian girls”

hint at blackmail possibilities ?

“He wouldn’t do that ! “ (Really? It would be the first evil thing he wouldn’t do.)

Karl Fleming -SON OF THE ROUGH SOUTH

Wilson, NC–1960’s Chapter

From Booklist

Fleming will forever be remembered as the Newsweek reporter who was photographed after being severely beaten in the Watts riots of 1966. In this memoir, he recounts the long road that led to his reporting on race relations and the incendiary social issues that exploded that day. He was born in 1927 in a poor, bleak North Carolina community and raised in an orphanage when his mother could no longer afford to take care of him. Fleming left college early to begin life as a reporter with a small-town ( WILSON, NC ) newspaper, covering the police beat with a cynical police chief who mistreated blacks. It was Fleming’s first hint that, having grown up in an orphanage, his sympathies were with the underdog. He went on to cover the turbulent racial changes in the South, including James Meredith’s enrollment at the University of Mississippi and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr and Medgar Evers. In this stunning memoir, Fleming offers the perspective of a poor white boy witnessing the racial turbulence that changed the U.S. Vanessa Bush

US OPEN TENNIS RESERVES QUALIFYING SLOTS FOR AMERICANS

PROGRESS FOR AMERICAN COLLEGE TENNIS PLAYERS

Short version

In its inaugural year, the four-team doubles and four-player singles playoff was created to increase the number of American collegiate tennis players who earn wild cards into the U.S. Open. Previously, only the NCAA singles and doubles champions received a main draw wild card, while the other NCAA singles finalist received a qualifying wild card. This season, six wild card entries were up for grabs.

While I support more scholarship money for American tennis families and players, this move is indeed encouraging.

My guess is the USTA IS WELL HEELED TO THE POINT THEY DON’T FEAR A LAWSUIT. This eliminates the long held fear of a discrimination suit.

Too, the timing of relaxed amateur restrictions will make college tennis more attractive as a significantly better route to professional possibilities. College tennis will gallop toward the hands down “Minor leagues of tennis.”

Probably some will resist change. Internationals hopefully will recognize that

Americans are footing their bill for a much better developmental choice, particularly the financial positives.

The ultra elite American juniors will now command significant college deals.

Tom,

Great observations. In today’s world of college athletics, any good news is welcome. The folks running college sports for the last 10-15 years should all be brought together and turned over to Islamic terrorists for punishment. I don’t think anyone knows how things will settle, but I certainly am glad that I didn’t have to deal with the likes of NIL, the transfer portal, and everything else that has been filtered into college tennis.

I played at Richmond, graduating in 1966. In my 4 years of college tennis ( actually 3, as freshmen were ineligible then), I strung every one of my own rackets. I got to use gut my junior year and thought that was a big deal. My sophomore year I rode in the back of Coach’s station wagon with the gear and spare tire, as the other players rode 3 in the front seat and 3 in the back. Complain…. heck no; I was a varsity athlete! We had no strength coach, academic advisor, dietitian, or any of the amenities available to today’s players. I am not jealous and don’t regret a thing. In fact, I believe that I got much more out of my experience than today’s athletes because I had to do it all myself. I was much more prepared for the real world.

Sorry for climbing on my soapbox to force my opinion on you, but I imagine it found a receptive audience. Stay well, my friend. We can keep trying to confuse our detractors with logic!

Best regards,

Bobby
