- Senators Hawley, Banks, and Tuberville file amendment to protect state laws banning men in women's sports. While I agree in principle I also wonder if this opens the door to state laws to open NIL loopholes to circumnavigate the Protect College Sports Act.

Our long national nightmare is over as football returned last night with the Panthers beating the Cardinals 33-30 on a last second TD to win the 2026 Hall of Fame game. Who cares its only preseason action - football is back!

Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

The Protect College Sports Act has passed cloture and may be voted on this week. What does it say about our society that this is what many average Americans are most concerned with? Perhaps this is a function of the time of year with so little sports actually on TV.

College Football Thoughts

Some college football observations while we wait to see what happens (if anything) in the Senate to the Protect College Sports Act. Maybe we actually get a regular season game first.

Was having these thoughts anyway and figure may as well jot them down and post on Substack.

Many are curious what the Senate will do with either the Save Act to require voter ID or the Protect College Sports Act but I may be most curious what happens with Rand Paul's resolution to charge Anthony Fauci with Contempt of Congress. I want the to keep the pressure on that cockroach.

Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

Yesterday turned out to be a rather quiet day in both the Iran war peace negotiations and the MLB trade deadline fronts. The big news happened much earlier in both - with the start of the war in one and the trading of Tarik Skubal in the other. Surprised someone hasn't written an article comparing the two.

John Marshall: Definer of a Nation

"The Supreme Court had already convened for its February term; Marshall had presented his commission as chief justice and had taken his oath of office. He was forty-five years old. For the next thirty-five years he would preside as the Chief Justice of the United States. 'He hit the Constitution much as the Lord hit the chaos at a time when everything needed creating,' wrote one observer. President James A. Garfield said, 'Marshall found the Constitution paper and made it power. He found a skeleton and clothed it with flesh and blood.' The prickly John Randolph of Roanoke noted that Marshall's 'real worth was never known until he was appointed Chief Justice.'

To Marshall, more than any other person, belongs the credit for establishing the foundation of the constitutional interpretation." - Jean Edward Smith
