Jim, if conferences like the SEC & B1G expand, do you foresee them utilizing divisions of 4-5 teams like the NFL? And what are your thoughts on the use of divisions - good or bad strategy?@JWMediaDC

There's a famous story from the early days of Mets baseball, in which a fan called a local paper and asked if the Mets had won. The person answering the call replied that the Mets had scored 19 runs that day. The fan famously replied, "But did they win?" - Mark Simon of ESPN

If you listen very carefully, you can hear Kirby Hocutt whisper, “Mr. Yormark, I’m sorry. Cody Campbell has my family.” @LandrumRoberts @conradvoradio @GollyMissMollyR

If you give up an authority outside yourself, you no longer have any warrant to say anything is right or wrong.

There are intellectuals in our society who are starting to realize the emptiness of atheism, not just intellectually, but personally.

General Omar Bradley called it the most dangerous mission of D-Day. He was not wrong.
At 6:30am on June 6, 1944, 225 Army Rangers approached a 100-foot sheer cliff face on the Normandy coast called Pointe du Hoc.
Their mission: climb it.
The cliff was vertical. The Germans were at the top with full visibility of everyone below. As the Rangers fired grappling hooks upward, the Germans cut the ropes. Shot the men hanging on them. Dropped grenades over the edge onto the climbers beneath.
The Rangers kept climbing.
It took roughly 40 minutes. Men fell. Men were shot off the ropes. The ones behind them grabbed the ropes and kept going.
They reached the top.
Then came the gut punch: the massive 155mm artillery guns they had been sent to destroy were gone. The Germans had moved them inland before the invasion. The entire mission had been sent to destroy guns that weren't there.
Most commanders would have regrouped and called it done.
The Rangers fanned out. Two miles inland, they found the guns, hidden in an orchard, already aimed at Utah Beach and loaded to fire. They destroyed every one with thermite grenades.
Then they dug in. Cut off, with almost no ammunition, no reinforcements, and no resupply, 225 men held Pointe du Hoc against relentless German counterattacks for two full days.
When relief finally arrived, only 90 Rangers could still stand and fight.
Their names are carved on a memorial in Normandy. Most Americans today cannot name a single one.

82 years ago nearly all of the men on the first few boats that landed on the beach in Normandy were dead before days end.
Sit here with that for a while.
Look at them.
Really look at them.
Look into their eyes.
Many of them are boys, they are someone’s son, someone’s brother, someone’s sweetheart someone’s father.
They never came home.
And every privilege, every convenience, every freedom and every little thing that you want to bitch about you have because of them and they paid the ultimate price for you to have those freedoms. #dday #FreedomIsNeverFree

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.
The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.
His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.
When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.
His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."
He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.
Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.
His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."
Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.
Three generations. Three wars. One family.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.
He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.
In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.
Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.
Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
Both of his sons did exactly that.

Yep
Even Arab leaders admit it.
Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.
Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.
Ok, so let us set that aside.
Now watch this.
In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.
Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.
He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.
The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.
This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.
When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.
The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.
This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.
If you value the truth, please share.

A man shot Charlie Kirk in the neck on an Utah campus. Three would-be assassins have come for Donald Trump since 2024. A CEO was shot dead in Manhattan and half the country called his killer a hero. 55% percent of the left now tells pollsters murdering Trump is at least somewhat justified.
And The Southern Poverty Law Center calls left-wing political violence a myth—while at the same time allegedly funding it.
@NoahCRothman says we are living in the third wave of left-wing political violence in just over a century:
The anarchists of the 1910s.
The Marxian guerrillas of the 1970s.
Now us.
How did previous generations find their way out of these cycles, and will we be able to do the same?

Eighty-two years ago today, ordinary men did the extraordinary. More than 156,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, knowing many would never come home. They fought not for glory, but for freedom.
As we mark the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, we honor their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to liberty. The debt we owe them only grows with time. 🇺🇸

When a conference wants to add a team or two, can a more desirable school for media companies “grease the skids“ for a school with less media value that is coveted by the academics in the conference? @JWMediaDC

It’s easy to feel like the only way to keep your faith intact is to stay out of politics, but is that what Jesus modeled for us? David Wood and I discuss why "tapping out" isn't the answer when it comes to loving our neighbors through politics.

Rev. Rebecca Todd Peters, an ordained Presbyterian Church (USA) minister and professor of religious studies at Elon University in North Carolina. In a sermon, she said: “If Jesus were giving his sermon today, he might also have said, “Blessed are those who end pregnancies, for they will be known for their loving kindness.”
Peters also stated that if Jesus were alive today, he would be a clinic escort or an “abortion doula” holding women’s hands and offering support during abortions.  She serves on the Clergy Advocacy Board of Planned Parenthood and personally escorts patients at abortion clinics once a month.
This is not Christianity. This is literally insane. Progressive Christianity is an oxymoron.
