I like Troy Aikman very much. Brady much as I like him, seems to me more interesting off air than on (don’t know why). Its not a criticism so much as praise for Manning’s uniqueness

I love that Robert Redford did not want a public funeral, a theater of applause and tribute. Just another sign that he was a great man.

Among the signs removed in response to Trump's directive are ones referring to "slavery, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and conflicts with Native Americans."

If you haven't read David Graham's book The Project about the writing of Project 2025, for god's sake get it. "This was not a conservative approach to government. It was self-consciously radical, rooted in a conviction that there was no constitutional order left to save."
