Anas Alrasheed/ MBS, prior to Jamal Kashoggi death/slaughter. This is important.

Kushner gave up Khashoggi’s location and MBS listened to his cries as he was dismembered while still alive. Jared received $2 billion from MBS
Jared Kushner sent over $80M to a HITMAN. that’s a lot of money. I wonder if the hit was done in a public setting. I wonder if the victim was a well-known political figure.

Three pages of what reads like AI-generated slop just to tell us absolutely NOTHING. Lol. Who the hell approved this? This is lazy, insulting, and quite frankly embarrassing. I’m so damn tired of watching the people running Florida State confuse indecision with patience and incompetence with being methodical. We don’t need another statement telling us you understand our frustration. WE KNOW YOU KNOW. We need you to grow a pair and actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. And this bullshit about making the right decisions in the right order? Give me a break. You don’t get credit for being deliberate when your inability to make a decision is actively destroying the program. Look at our recruiting class. Look at the roster. Look at the complete lack of player development. You cannot keep treating the transfer portal like an annual emergency room and pretend that’s a sustainable way to build a championship program. The portal is supposed to supplement your roster, not serve as your entire damn recruiting strategy. And here’s what really pisses me off. Every day you drag your feet, you’re screwing BOTH Mike Norvell and whoever eventually replaces him. If you believe in Mike, give him the money, resources and institutional support to succeed. But if you see what the rest of America sees, then have the balls to cut bait. Personally, I think we’re WELL past the point of salvaging this tenure. And whoever comes next deserves more than inheriting another unnecessary disaster because the adults in charge were too scared to make a difficult decision. The next coach needs time to evaluate the roster, determine who stays and who goes, assemble a staff, establish relationships with high school recruits and get ahead of portal negotiations that are ALREADY happening. You cannot do all that shit in two weeks in December. And yes, there’s a national championship-winning coach who knows Tallahassee, knows the recruiting footprint, understands the expectations and has already demonstrated he can win at the highest level here. You can debate whether Jimbo is the answer, but acting like that experience wouldn’t be valuable right now is ridiculous. Whether it’s Jimbo or somebody else, GIVE THE NEXT MAN A DAMN CHANCE. And spare me the financial excuses. Every decision has a cost, including doing absolutely nothing. Lost recruiting classes, declining attendance, donor fatigue and another year of roster turnover all have financial consequences. Avoiding a buyout today doesn’t mean you’re saving money tomorrow. That’s not financial discipline. That’s kicking the can down the road and hoping somebody else deals with the consequences. I’m tired of watching Florida State operate like we’re afraid of our own expectations. Three national championships. A national fanbase. One of the most recognizable brands in college football. And somehow we’re begging our own administration to act like winning actually matters. And don’t you dare hide behind the players. Those young men deserve our FULL support. But supporting them doesn’t mean we have to tolerate the incompetence of the people making decisions above them. Stop with the bullshit statements. Stop hoping things magically fix themselves. Stop embarrassing yourselves and, by extension, the rest of us. Do your damn jobs. Make the big-boy decisions you’re paid to make. And if you don’t have the stomach for it, maybe somebody else needs to start making decisions about YOUR future. This is Florida State. Start acting like it.

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's bank account jumped from under $50,000 to over $1 million. His filing doesn't explain where the money came from.

Given the federal government’s denial that there is any pattern of immigration agents holding U.S. citizens, ProPublica did its own count. We found that 500+ Americans were detained, including at least 70 children and teens. propublica.org/article/ameri…

In my role as co founder and managing partner of Draftline I speak with NIL and rev-share decision makers and NFL agents every day. I love this program, so here's a direct message to FSU leadership, boosters and fans. Bobby Bowden built a standard at Florida State: 14 straight top-five finishes, two national titles, and a program recruits grew up dreaming about. Every decision made in Tallahassee should protect that standard. Right now, leadership is lowering it. 10–21 since the 2023 ACC title. 14 straight losses away from Doak. And the reason we keep hearing for accepting it is the buyout. The actual numbers say we can't afford to keep Here's what the cost of losing: • ~$15M a year in added roster (suck tax) and staff spend (no one wants to coach with a dead man walking) • $7–8M a year in ticket revenue a winning season or new coach excitement brings back • Season tickets down 18% since 2023 • Booster donor base down 17% • 2027 recruiting class 43rd nationally, with zero offensive linemen • No permanent AD since September, and our CFO/Rev Share whiz kid just left for Iowa State That's $22M+ a year spent to not fire Norvell. And the upside is real. The ACC lets schools keep 100% of their playoff money. A deep CFP run plus a full Doak is worth $20–28M in a single season. The buyout is a one-time cost. Drift compounds: in recruiting, in the portal, in donor checks that don't renew. To leadership: make the decision now. Waiting costs more than it saves. To Stephen Ponder and @SeminoleBooster: Instead of worrying about what people are posting about you it’s time to line up the commitments now, so the buyout doesn't come out of the operating budget that funds our other 20 sports. To fans: renew, show up and stay loud. The next coach is selling this program to recruits the day he's hired. We've been here before, and Florida State always comes back. But it takes a decision not hiding. #Noles @PresMcCullough @Seminoles

Kevin Mebil over the last two weekends: 5 IP, 0 H, 6 K, 0 BB, 0 R, & 55 pitches An extended look from his perfect three-inning start today:
Mebil came out for the third and produced another 1-2-3 innings. Six of his nine outs were groundouts. Malamazian has handled SS very well so far with strong, accurate throws. Actual final line on Mebil: 3 IP, 0 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 0 R, & 34 pitches (3 whiffs) End 3: FSU 1, USF 0

It’s not just Russia. It’s Putin personally. Novatek is his energy business.
Russia would apparently get a stake in Alaska gas venture through this deal which @FT reports was discussed during recent meeting to discuss Ukraine at the Kremlin.

The film recounts an episode in 2023 when Musk rejected direct US government requests to restore Starlink capabilities to Ukraine because he had his own foreign policy ideas and was in touch with the Russians and did not support a Ukrainian operation in Crimea.

Trump was never sending Kushner and Witkoff to broker peace. He was having those two crooks sell our Alaskan public land and our Alaskan natural resources to the fucking Russians as if it were his. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…
