  8. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Memorial Day Message Has A Massive Mistake Ed Mazza ~2 minutes Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) sent out a Memorial Day message on Twitter ― but it was undermined by a very visible mistake. Greene’s message contained a version of the U.S. flag with just 18 stars. PatriotTakes, which monitors right-wing media, and several other critics spotted the error of the conspiracy theorist lawmaker, who has called for a “national divorce” and spoke last year at a white nationalist event: No official U.S. flag had 18 stars. It had 15 stars and 15 stripes at the end of the 18th and start of the 19th centuries. The addition of five states between 1797 and 1817 led to a flag with 20 stars and 13 stripes in 1818, which was quickly replaced by a succession of new flags as more states were admitted. Antique American flag dealer Jeff Bridgman notes that “a tiny handful of 18 star flags exist,” which were created later to commemorate Louisiana’s statehood, given that it was the 18th state to join the union. Others, however, offered criticisms of Greene beyond the flag ― such as her vote against legislation to expand federal aid for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, as well as other actions and comments she’s made over the years:

  10. Trump Team Wants to Get Rid of Feds Investigating Him Asawin Suebsaeng 9–11 minutes Skip to main content Team Trump Scrambles to Unmask the Feds Investigating Him The former president wants to “immediately” purge the Justice Department’s ranks of the officials and agents who’ve led the criminal probes into his actions Donald Trump Joe Raedle/Getty Images Donald Trump just needs a few names. In recent months, the former president has asked close advisers, including at least one of his personal attorneys, if “we know” all the names of senior FBI agents and Justice Department personnel who have worked on the federal probes into him. That’s according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter and another person briefed on it. The former president has then privately discussed that should he return to the White House, it is imperative his new Department of Justice “quickly” and “immediately” purge the FBI and DOJ’s ranks of these officials and agents who’ve led the Trump-related criminal investigations, the sources recount. The ex-president has of course dubbed all such probes as illegitimate “witch hunts,” and is now campaigning for the White House on a platform of “retribution” and cleaning house. Separately, the twice-impeached former president has been saying for many months that on “day one” of his potential second term, he wants FBI director Christopher Wray “out” of the bureau, according to another source familiar with the matter and two people close to Trump. It’s an ironic turn, given that Trump appointed Wray in 2017. (Florida governor Ron DeSantis, Trump’s 2024 primary rival, has also pledged to fire Wray, telling Fox News last week that he’d do so on “day one.”) But in the years since, Trump came to deeply distrust Wray. By the end of 2020, Trump was venting to senior administration officials that he would make it a top priority to replace Wray “next year,” blasting the director for not wholesale purging the FBI of non-Trump-loyalists. Trump lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, and thus didn’t get his chance to fire Wray in 2021. During some of the conversations this year, including at Trump’s Florida club Mar-a-Lago, some of Trump’s close political allies told him that they are working on figuring out the identities of the FBI and DOJ staff and forming lists, two of the sources relay to Rolling Stone. Editor’s picks However, others have complained that the feds aren’t making it easy for them. In December 2022, the conservative nonprofit Judicial Watch — run by prominent Trump ally Tom Fitton — filed a Freedom of Information Act request demanding information about “all employees hired by or detailed to the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith.” In April, the Justice Department denied the request on the ground that it was an “unwarranted invasion of personal privacy” and that it would “interfere with enforcement proceedings.” “One can only conclude, after seeing the uproar over the anti-Trump, partisan Mueller operation, that the Garland Justice Department has something to hide about Jack Smith and his prosecutors again targeting Trump and other Republicans with unprecedented investigations,” Fitton said at the time. On Friday, Fitton told Rolling Stone that the DOJ is still “stonewalling” him and his group on the identities: “I don’t understand why it is that the names of prosecutors involved in a criminal investigation are secret. The Durham report shows it’s important we know who’s working there. We don’t want social security numbers or personal phone numbers, but certainly senior leaders and others who are pursuing this need to be disclosed.” “We were able to get hiring material for the Mueller investigations, interviews applications and stuff like that,” he added. Fitton said his group is still seeking the information administratively, but that “this is the type of lawsuit we typically would pursue.” Other developments have made it harder for MAGA allies to create a comprehensive list of whom to potentially fire. Prior to Smith’s appointment, full names — in official DOJ email addresses — would appear in emails sent by Justice Department lawyers working on the Trump-related probes, to attorneys for subjects and likely targets of the investigations. But in the time since Special Counsel Smith started overseeing the probes last year, such emails began at times only showing initials for multiple DOJ addresses, obscuring the names of certain lawyers or personnel working on the special counsel’s team, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. Related The feds, including Special Counsel Smith’s office, are currently investigating Trump and his associates for their efforts leading up to the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol attack, as well as for the ex-president’s hoarding of classified documents after he left office. Trump remains the leading candidate for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination in various polls, and has already been indicted in a separate criminal investigation in New York. His lawyers are also expecting a federal indictment in the Justice Department’s Mar-a-Lago documents probe soon, and have already briefed Trump as such. The identities of law enforcement personnel involved in the Mar-a-Lago investigation have been a flashpoint between Trump and the Justice Department since the FBI executed a search warrant on the former president’s residence in August 2022. Prosecutors unsealed a copy of the search warrant with the names of agents redacted but the former president posted a copy of the document with the names of two FBI agents involved in the search. Trending The search kicked off an “unprecedented” number of threats against FBI agents and an attack by an armed Trump supporter on the FBI’s Cincinnati field office. Trump’s latest crusade against the FBI coincides with his plans for a complete remaking of the federal bureaucracy. That includes promises to install extreme loyalists like Jeffrey Clark and Michael Flynn, who aided Trump’s anti-democratic efforts to overturn the 2020 election outcome. Trump also has pledged to sign an executive order, dubbed Schedule F, that would make it easier to hire loyalists and fire nonpartisan civil servants.
  11. Open in app or online holy s***, Joe Biden ate Kevin McCarthy's lunch play stupid debt ceiling games, win stupid debt ceiling prizes Jeff Tiedrich May 30 Share “get in, loser. we’re going negotiating.” the Freedom Caucus ****faces are pissed. they’re melting all the way down and calling for Kevin McCarthy to lose his job as House Speaker. oh Kevin, you vapid hapless dope. you brought this on yourself. play stupid debt ceiling games, win stupid debt ceiling prizes. Upgrade to paid I know: it should have never gotten this far. there should never have been any negotiations. I’d been calling all along for Biden to abandon the debt ceiling charade, tell the Republicans to go **** themselves, invoke the 14th Amendment and just get on with the business of paying America’s bills. but Biden wanted a negotiated deal, and I admit that I had low expectations. because Kevin McCarthy held all the cards. he had an atomic bomb in his toolbox: default. the one thing that Joe Biden didn’t want to have happen. just keep threatening fiscal armageddon, that’s all Kev had to do. but somehow, when the smoke cleared, Kevin managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and end up on the losing end. and now wingnut heads are exploding and it’s ******* glorious. oh Kevin, you silly underachieving dipshit, you wanted so much to be Speaker that you manacled your survival to the whims of the stupidest ******* bomb-throwing maniacs in the House. and now they hate your ineffective guts. I don’t know what Jedi mind tricks Joe Biden played. all I know is this: Joe Biden has been in government since 1974. Joe Biden is better at politics than your or I, and Joe Biden sure as **** is better at politics than Kevin McCarthy. never bet against Joe Biden. Kevin McCarthy is a child. and as we all know, Joe Biden knows how to deal with children. everyone is entitled to my own opinion is a reader-supported publication.

  16. al.com SEC commish lends insight into football scheduling debate Updated: May. 29, 2023, 8:36 p.m.|Published: May. 29, 2023, 7:42 p.m. 5–6 minutes Ever careful with his words, Greg Sankey on the eve of a consequential SEC spring meeting toed the line Monday night on the hot topic of the week. Meeting with a small group of reporters in the Destin hotel hosting the event, the league commissioner listed pros and cons of what could be a heated debate over playing eight or nine league football games beginning in 2024. That comes in the shadow of reporting from Sports Illustrated that involved a stop-gap measure that could push the long-delayed decision further down the road. “We’re poised to make a decision,” Sankey said, “but time is still an asset.” Sankey didn’t necessarily rule out a one-year eight-game schedule in 2024 as reported by SI on Monday but said they’d prefer to gavel this discussion closed after years of indecision. “A league at the forefront of college athletics doesn’t stand still,” Sankey said. “And this is a league at the forefront of college athletics. Whether changes happen immediately is part of the careful consideration and the deep consideration. You can make arguments around both.” Regardless, the scheduling process will be evolving with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma after this coming season, it’s just a matter of how different things will look. The current eight-game model allows every league team to face the full roster of schools in a two-year window but cut out a few core rivalry games to achieve that. The nine-game model includes three fixed annual games with a rotation of six others -- keeping annual rivalries like Alabama-Tennessee and Auburn-Georgia intact. The eight-game model would have those games every other year with each team hosting once every four years. But after sounding certain of this process reaching a conclusion when addressing reporters in March the SEC basketball tournament, Sankey was less certain this would be resolved by the end of the week. He noted the onboarding process during expansions in 1992 and 2012 wasn’t always smooth in terms of scheduling format. “I don’t have a lot of angst that we have to decide,” Sankey said. “I would prefer to not continue to circle the airport with the airplane. I’d prefer to land it.” As discussed in the SI piece, among the issues causing hesitancy with adding a ninth game are concerns with the new TV deal set to begin with ESPN in 2024. Would there be more money in the pot given the higher inventory of SEC game? That remains to be seen and could be a sticking point for those resistant to change. While Sankey said that money wouldn’t be the primary driver of that decision-making process, he also noted there’d be more revenue from sources other than TV. Ticket income, for example, spikes from intra-conference games instead of contract games with non-Power 5 competition. Considerations of balance and equity -- harder to define parameters -- have been part of the discussion. “The more you play,” Sankey said, “the more equitable the conference schedule is. So if you played that out to all 12 games, your champion versus your ninth-place team or 16th-place team would have had a very narrow band of competitive disparity.” Asked to clarify if he meant that a nine-game schedule would equate to more fairness, the commissioner’s reply was brief. “Yes,” Sankey said. Was that necessarily his preference? No. “I think it would be disrespectful of me to give that information to you right now when I’m obligated to members who have to make a decision,” he said. “They’d rightfully be angry with me.” That said, he wouldn’t be shy when it came time for the 16 university presidents to vote. “I’ve allowed intentionally the conversation to play out without taking a position,” Sankey said. “I have made clear what I think should eventually happen inside the room.” He cited the decision-rich summer of 2020 as an example of when he stepped in and made his position known when the league was discussing logistical elements of a football season amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It would take a simple majority of votes from SEC presidents for any model to pass when it comes time to vote and there have been close ballots before. New rules on intra-conference transfers, for example, ended with an 8-6 vote a few years back. Now there are 16 perspectives and agendas in play. Resolution appeared to be on the horizon last year in Destin, now a year later, nothing is certain when the conference rooms at the gulf-side resort open for what could be an eventful debate.

  17. auburnwire.usatoday.com Three-Star defensive lineman Sean Sevillano lists Auburn among finalists Daniel Locke ~2 minutes Sean Sevillano, a three-star defensive line target with Auburn included in his final four choices, has set his commitment date for Friday, June 2 at 11:00 a.m. CT. Aside from Auburn, Sevillano’s final contenders are Notre Dame, Ohio State and Miami. Buy Tigers Tickets In a 247Sports article written by Tom Loy, Sevillano discussed each of his options. “Fantastic people,” Sevillano said about Auburn. “With the new staff, I would be a part of building Auburn back to what it used to be.” According to 247Sports, the three-star defensive lineman has a composite rating of 0.8644. The Clearwater, Florida native is the No. 913 ranked player in the class of 2024, the No. 87 ranked defensive lineman and the No. 125 ranked player in the state of Florida. If Sevillano chooses Auburn, he would be the sixth player to join the Tigers’ 2024 recruiting class as well as the first defensive lineman, the second three-star recruit, and the first player from the state of Florida to do so. The 6-foot-2, 300-pounder has received three crystal ball predictions from 247Sports, each of which is projecting him to pick Notre Dame.

  18. From Portal to Playoff: LSU, TCU, USC and... Auburn? Matthew Redding 5–6 minutes Let's wind the clocks back to 2021. For many Auburn fans, this was a strange new territory as the short-lived Harsin era was about to kick off after the days of Gus Malzahn came to a close. For Georgia and Alabama fans, this was just another season of contending for playoff berths and churning out NFL draft picks. For LSU, USC and TCU fans, this would be their final with their lame-duck head coach before bringing in the likes of Lincoln Riley, Brian Kelly and Sonny Dykes. Little did anyone know what would happen next. In years past, their respective rebuilds would've taken a few years to put together a decent squadron. Instead, LSU dethroned mighty Alabama for the SEC West, Heisman winner Caleb Williams took the Trojans to the Pac-12 Championship, TCU proved they could hang with anyone (not named Georgia) and all three were in Playoff contention come December. The secret sauce? The transfer portal. Scott Clause/The Daily Advertiser via AP The great equalizers in college football, the transfer portal and NIL deals, are beginning to level the playing field between the SEC and the rest of the country (Georgia and Alabama will just be Georgia and Alabama for now) and the results have made college football more of a frenzy in the offseason. Nobody would have put money on the Horned Frogs to crash the CFP, but the defensive talents of Emani Bailey and Josh Newton weren't on campus yet. Jayden Daniels was wildly underrated as a transfer prospect, but apparently he was the last piece of another LSU championship run. We already know how Lincoln Riley cheat-coded USC's quick return to the top with Williams and Jordan Addison, but long story short, welcome to the new normal. Program fires previous head coach, brings in new head coach, new head coach quickly puts together a roster filled with hidden gems and plug-and-play athletes at positions at need so that the "rebuild" sets a foundation and a championship standard. Sound familiar? Eric Starling/Auburn Daily It's not as impossible as it once was. Just ask the teams mentioned above. One of the biggest challenges facing Auburn's new staff was the talented yet depleted roster being expected to compete in the SEC. A problem that was known nationwide, as coach Freeze only needed to verbally agree to taking the job while living in Virginia before he got started 20 minutes later calling players to come play for Auburn. His efforts have so far led to a bigger, beefier offensive line, several new weapons in the offense and a QB who led his team to a New Years 6 Bowl. The additions of linebacker Larry Nixon III and wideout Jyaire Shorter are the cherry on top of a strong transfer class, ranking in the top 3 according to On3. The 5-7 record last year however is keeping the college football world skeptical, which is fair, but did a 5-7 record matter to TCU when 2022 began? Vegas betting odds over at Fanduel put Auburn's win total at 6.5 games for 2023, and that number remains even after the addition of quarterback Peyton Thorne. I'm not a betting man myself, but if you want to make some easy money I'd be willing to bet Auburn exceeds a few expectations from our friends in Sin City. A CLOSER LOOK AT THE NUMBERS as I mentioned in my previous article looking at Peyton Thorne's commitment further backs up the idea that Auburn could be a sleeper in the West. The Hugh Freeze offense averages 250 passing yards per game, which is what Thorne's average was when he had a strong backfield to support him, and would automatically move Auburn into the upper half of SEC passing play last season. Keep in mind, not even Georgia and Alabama have a proven QB on their roster. Even Robby Ashford had more upside than anyone else in their room just because of experience, and the only schools that boast NFL-caliber signal callers are LSU, Tennessee and South Carolina (I would throw MSU's Will Rogers in there, but he's learning a new offense, so we'll have to see). Call me a homer, call me biased, but the numbers and histories point towards a much better season than expected. 8-9 wins could be considered the floor thanks to all the recent additions Freeze and Co. have made. And for the record, the last three quarterbacks to win Auburn the West were won with transfer quarterbacks.
