Most likely, Cornyn and Paxton meet in a runoff. Hunt should pull enough to ensure neither gets to 50.
Crocket has become a celebrity with the help of the adoring media, much like Beto did. She and Beto are a lot alike. No depth, just attention seekers. Unfortunately, attention-seekers get votes.
I don't think she beats the other guy though.
The GOP runoff will be the nastiest in the country.

They are communists. Have you ever known a group of people who wanted power more than communists? It's their religion. They will do whatever it takes, while people in the middle/right just go about their lives and only show up big when the left has gone so looney tunes that they can't take it anymore.
Over the years, the persistence of the left gains ground during times when the right sleeps. The left never sleeps.
Republicans need to put their egos aside and join with Trump to win the midterms, but they won't. That the Save Act stalled out because of lazy Senate Republicans is a major concern. If ever there was a layup issue that's it, and they punted. Shame on Thune and his minions.
re: Bond Films Rewatch

Rewatched all the Moore movies over the last few weeks.
Roger Moore is the best Bond, then Connery is a close second.
I don't think even Roger Moore would put himself in the top three. To Bond purists who read the books and respect the character, Moore was at times cartoonish. Then when he did get serious it was not believable because he'd just done or said something silly.
I grew up with Moore as Bond and didn't really see the Connery films til Dalton re-energized my interest in the series. Dalton was supposed to do more Bond films but scheduling and timing got in the way.
Brosnan was supposed to be Bond earlier but he couldn't get out of his Remington Steele tv shows. Brosnan was an excellent Bond, but after Goldeneye his movies just weren't as good.
My top five: Goldfinger, Casino Royale, Goldeneye, Live and Let Die, Skyfall (but my top five changes often; however, Goldfinger is always my #1).

The Roger Moore films are so bad in retrospect, but the one with Walken and Grace Jones always stood out.
Never actually seen the Tim Dalton ones.
If you've read Ian Fleming's books, Dalton very likely plays the role the most like the character Fleming created. His two films are worth your time.
I agree the Moore films were certainly worse than Connery's, as was his portrayal. Moore was good in Live and Let Die and got progressively worse in the role and stayed 2-3 films too long.

CNN - "Mostly peaceful fraud"
It's difficult for today's generation to fully understand what was happening in 1980. The United States was thought to be declining and possibly falling behind the Russians in the Cold War. Iran had our hostages. Jimmy Carter was running for re-election but was facing a primary challenge from Ted Kennedy (incumbents are/were almost never seriously challenged). The country's mood was in the dumps.
This bunch of college hockey players gave the country a huge shot in the arm. People started rejecting the decline of the 70s, got more patriotic, and elected Ronald Reagan. The rest is history. The 80s and 90s were a time of great prosperity and lots of winning. One could argue that the Miracle on Ice played a part in the turnaround,
I watched it that night on tape delay, and many forget that the USSR upset was NOT the gold medal game. It was a round robin and the USA still had to beat Finland. If the USA had lost to Finland, the USSR would have the most points and the gold medal.

Most of their curling team and three hockey players are from Alberta, so once they join the USA as our 51st state (or if we swap Minnesota for them) we should add to our medal count in 2030.
re: Rumors around DC that Justice Alito is going to retire.
Posted by ATCTx on 2/17/26 at 3:28 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
Thomas and/or Alito should have retired last year so it wouldn't be an issue in the midterms.
They waited too long unless one of them retires right now. Wait til summer and the Dems will increase their fundraising on it and have a better chance of taking the Senate.
Honestly, I'm disappointed in both, especially Thomas. If ANYONE has cause to get revenge on democrats, it's him, but all that said, it's a lifetime appointment and they can do as they please.

The Apostle was his masterpiece performance in a very lengthy list of Duvall's masterful performances. IMO
SC - 8 threes made and 84% from the line
LSU - 2 threes made and 63% from the line.
Still have a chance though

If these are the rosters for a hypothetical all-time SEC tournament, I don't see a team yet that can deal with Shaq unless the plan is to double him and leave Pete and/or CJ open, which would be a bad plan.
But....let's see what Kentucky can throw out there. Bowie, Delk, Towns, Walker, Mashburn, Issel, Davis, etc etc. They'd be legit.

Black conservatives and moderates "betray" their race because they see Democrat race/economic/crime policies as harmful and want a better situation for them. Their intentions, whether they be successful or not, are good.
White Democrats "betray" their race because they want to hold onto power and feel better about themselves by buying into lies and propaganda, even if it means their own eventual demise. Their intentions, whether they be successful or not, are selfish, divisive, and dangerous.

re: Best Superbowl You've Ever Seen

The best Super Bowl was the classic SB13 in the Orange Bowl when the Steelers barely beat the Cowboys 35-31.

re: Early polling finds Julia Letlow ahead of Bill Cassidy in upcoming Republican primary
Posted by ATCTx on 2/4/26 at 12:15 pm to ragincajun03
Cassidy's vote to impeach Trump is disqualifying. Nothing else he votes on matters. If you are going to convict any president after they've been impeached by the House, the crime had better be severe if it's the other party. If it is your party, it had better be severe enough that most Senators in your own party are voting to convict. Neither of those was the case.
Letlow may be another RINO and no better, but he disqualified himself with his arrogant nonsensical vote. I hope he lives to regret it.

1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics - the undisputed Winter games GOAT!
Posted by ATCTx on 2/4/26 at 12:07 pm
Maybe it's nostalgia but I still get goosebumps thinking about those games. US and USSR were in a bitter Cold War. Us vs. them. Eric Heiden does the impossible winning five gold medals in speed skating and is overshadowed by a bunch of college kids thrown together to beat the mighty Russian professionals in the greatest upset in sports history (Sorry Buster Douglas, Villanova, and NC State).
It was just a different time. A more serious time. A more patriotic time. The hockey game was tape delayed. 1980 was pre-cable TV for almost everybody....just three channels to watch. Andy Leopold, the sportscaster on channel 2 I think, ended his segment with "If you don't want to know the score of the US vs USSR hockey game because you're planning to watch it tonight, change the channel now". (or something like that....who in the world was going to change the channel with that setup line!!!)
I guess Tonya and Nancy was more dramatic in a National Enquirer kind of way, but nothing will top 1980. Any of you boomers or gen X folks have any Lake Placid stories?

I'm an Olympics nut, but both summer and winter have dropped off in importance as there are just too many other sports competing for eyes that were not there back in the 70s-90s when the games were must-see.
There don't seem to be any compelling stories this olympics, nor personalities like a Shaun White. American women used to have at least one star figure skater certain to win gold. I don't even know who made our team.
Other than Lindsey Vonn, I don't really have an interest in any athlete this time, and now that she's limping into the games, she may be lucky to just complete her run.
I'll watch it because football is over, but it's never going to be what it once was....like most other sports unfortunately. Was there anything better than Jim McCay hosting every night or his outstanding work at Munich?

I guess you could comp his skills to Luka or Dirk but with a superior basketball mind and an assassin's killer instinct.
So yeah, he'd be a perennial All Star as long as his body allowed, which would likely be longer now that the game is less physical.
