That’s a tough one to answer. But certainly Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) wants to be in the running. Tuberville knows college football. He coached at Mississippi (1995-1998), Auburn (1999-2008), Texas Tech (2010-2012), and U. of Cincinnatti (2013-2016), although with a mixed win-loss record (s[...]

Donald Trump, King of America
The Queen is dead. God save the Queen. Now Charles is king. Trump, trying to grab the spotlight as always, predicted (who cares?) that “King Charles III, who I have gotten to know well, will be a great and wonderful king.” (See story here.) That remains to be seen; the first King Charles[...]
No, Rep. Greene didn’t audition for American Idol and flop

How America screwed up its power grid system
The question isn’t whether the grid will buckle and fail — it already has in places. Or when; obviously during summer heat waves or winter storms. Or why: Because of more air conditioning and electric cars. The question is how did we screw up our power system, and who screwed it up? The [...]

America’s crazy gun culture
A customer at a McDonald’s in Midvale, Utah, pulled a gun on an employee at the drive-through window “over an issue regarding his order.” When police came to arrest him, he didn’t comply with their orders to exit his car, so they opened the door and pulled him out. That’[...]
