This is good reporting and all that but here's the thing I learned the other day: Bill Pulte, the 50-year-mortgage dude and the guy who keeps pulling the mortgage docs of Trump's enemies is only 37 years old.

For those not aware, Trump’s granddaughter got an inexplicable invite to this week’s LPGA event.

She’s last by four strokes after one round.
Kai Trump will be a college golfer.

But she's not ready for the LPGA tour.

Don't blame her. Blame those who are desperate enough for attention that they thought it was a good idea to invite the No. 461 junior golfer.

Kai Trump is not the solution to the LPGA’s problem
The No. 461 junior golfer in America was given a coveted sponsor exemption because of her last name and massive social media following.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Tyon Grant-Foster played for Kansas in December 2020 against Kentucky and Devin Askew. That was four schools ago for Askew.
Zags are full of productive guys with disgusting levels of experience.

Look at their ages:
Emmanuel Innocenti - 21
Braeden Smith - turns 22 in Jan
Braden Huff - 22
Jalen Warley - turns 23 in Feb
Graham Ike - 23
Steele Venters - 24
Adam Miller - turns 24 in Jan
Tyon Grant-Foster - turns 26 in March

Wrote up Zags to the Final Four as my favorite future bet this year.

Last's night's beatdown of Creighton was a great indicator of why.

love live Penny (@celebrityhottub.bsky.social )
The American penny died on Wednesday in Philadelphia. It was 232. The cause was irrelevance and expensiveness, the Treasury Department said. Nothing could be bought any more with a penny, as the cost to mint the penny had risen to more than 3 cents. nyti.ms/48bFd5K
