Perrin Lovett: Five Things UGA Could Do To Ensure Future Football Supremacy – And other entertainment news…

From the Sports and Entertainment Desk:
*
Yeah. So, About Saturday…
*
Like David Carradine, the Dawgs love a good choke. It just usually comes along a little later and to a better team. Due to certain circumstances, the annual meeting of the Georgia Faithful Next Year Club has been moved up to the Thursday after next – I believe – check on that. Anyway, I have been asked to deliver the keynote speech. Herein, please review my list of talking points – humble suggestions which, if implemented, might actually make one of these years “next year.” To keep this moving along, I only elaborate on number four.
*
Note: All five of the following points are related. I list them in order, from “difficult” to “damned-near impossible.” The final two are almost outside the scope of reality. Still, just making two or three easier changes would do wonders. Also, note that these suggestions are aimed at winning – National Championship wins. Due to the nature of the problem addressed in number five, I expect that many of you will have trouble understanding. Listen carefully, without interrupting, to whoever is reading this to you.

*

One. IQs Up, Weights Down (Difficult). More Wonderlic, less knee brace. Speed and smarts will help your new,

*

Two. Field General QB (slightly more difficult). To complete medium-range shots, while READING THE FIELD, even under pressure. He’s out there. Ask the,

*

Three. Win-At-All-Costs Crazy Coach (plain hard). He might be lurking in D1, D2, or the NFL – the contrarian OC who is audible on TV screaming about “going for it, already!” Working with,

*

Four. Your own “Ernie Adams” (possibly impossible).

*

Now, we get improbable. There may, in all the world, only be the one Ernie Adams. If not, then try to find his doppelganger. (You ain’t getting the original for any money). Ernie spends all his time plotting and plugging statistics into an algebraic formula… Huh? Who is Ernie Adams? Adams is officially the New England Patriots’ Director of Football Research. Yeah… Nobody else has one. But, he’s the behind the scenes logistical and strategic genius responsible for the Pats’ unparalleled two-decade dynasty. He’s the brains of the Kraft-Adams-Belichick-Brady axis. The one-man football Manhattan Project.

*

He’s five to ten years ahead of the curve, with the entire sport literally running through his algorithms. He studies all players, games, and stats in the NFL, most colleges, and many high schools (and, many even lower). His is the master plan wherein everything is reduced to mathematical simplicity.

*

How do you find one of your own? No idea, really. Do NOT look at other teams. Think about calculus professors, physicists, and /non-special/ financiers of the ELITE Wall Street variety (like Ernie). This one is tough. Almost as tough as…

Ha! Ha! Ha! Remember every single time the special people ridiculed, threatened to kill, or actually killed ordinary, heritage Americans? Just good clean fun, they always say. Okay. Then, here’s some more good clean fun:

Ha! Ha! Ha! See, it’s so funny!

The White House is bothered, though. And, in retrospect, as funny as this is, drones would probably be more efficient.

Government School is … Finger Control?

Kansas: act like a child, go to jail. Public “school” enforces #FingerControl.

A 12-year-old Overland Park girl formed a gun with her fingers, pointed at four of her Westridge Middle School classmates one at a time, and then turned the pretend weapon toward herself.

Police hauled her out of school in handcuffs, arrested her and charged the child with a felony for threatening.

Shawnee Mission school officials said they could not discuss the case, citing privacy laws, but did say it wasn’t the district that arrested the child.

No doubt the charge will be reduced and then scrubbed away in juvenile court. But, it’s the principle (maybe the principal) that matters here. Westridge Middle, where they strive to have one-quarter to one-third of students meet standards … and where I’m guessing 95-99% get bumped to high school regardless. I’m sure the arrest will turn everything around.

Get your kids out now.

The Europhobic haters and liars continue their war on all things American. Columbus out, “First People” in.

“Christopher Columbus didn’t find us,” he said. “We have our own creation stories, our own language, our own history.”

Lente later learned the Italian explorer, who set out to find a trade route to Asia, landed in the Bahamas in October 1492 and never set foot on what would become the United States. He concluded that Columbus “led genocide, rape, pillage and death, and he tried to extinguish a large Native American population.”

This year, Lente, a second-term Democrat in a state where more than a tenth of residents are American Indian successfully sponsored a bill ditching Columbus Day, fighting back attempts to rename the holiday New Mexico Day or Friendship Day.

Instead, the new Indigenous Peoples’ Day state holiday will be celebrated with Native American dancers, speakers, arts and food at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque.

Add Columbus, add the whole Age of Exploration to the never-ending list of things conservatives failed to conserve. One will also note, in the article, strains of anti-Messianic hate. Go figure. War, rape, murder, cannibalism, and slavery were a-okay – so long as they were separate and apart from the Europeans? Oh, wait. They probably leave all of that out. Also, I’d imagine that they leave off the fact that the “First People” weren’t exactly the first people in the Americas. That prize goes to … the Solutreans, ancient ancestors of people like Columbus. When do they get their day?

Happy Columbus Day, 2019!

College Lame Day

Before the Big Game!, consider the declining quality of education at the schools.

College graduates are responsible, in part, for a “knowledge crisis” regarding basic civic literacy in the United States, according to a recent survey that revealed “alarming results.” For example, less than half of college graduates surveys knew the term lengths of U.S. Senators and Representatives.

A recent survey has uncovered “alarming results” which point to “a crisis in civic understanding and the urgent need for a renewed focus on civics education at the postsecondary level,” according to the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), which commissioned the survey.

Two terms: one in office, one in prison! Haha. Sad…

When they’re not learning anything, at least the kids can make demonic fools of themselves. And, of course, there’s the football thing, which should be converted into a minor league and severed from the … schools. (I keep wanting to type “schools” as with the K-12 “schools.”)

REPO-ing the Economy

 

The economy is roaring along. Record low unemployment. Banks have never been stronger. DOW is way up there somewhere. Everything is fine. Go back to sleep. Kindly ignore the constant hum from the printing presses down in the Financial District. 

Consider this a sequel to my September 24th column on the same subject. That was like a long time ago. You’ve probably forgotten. Waaay back then, starting on September 16th, the New York Fed announced they were injecting just a tiny bit of extra cash into the [VERY HEALTHY AND IN NO WAY ABOUT TO COLLAPSE] commercial banks. “Tiny bit” could have been estimated at around $2 Trillion. Could have. Who, honestly, knows? The program was supposed to last until October Tenth. But why cut short such a good thing?

Now, it’s going to run through and until November Fourth. Fifty days of free fiat funny money. Fifty days. At one-hundred and five billion dollars per day. That’s … let’s see, Gawd… Okay, 105 x 50 = … Hang on… I get … gonna run this straight out, numerically: $5,250,000,000,000. That’s just a shit ton of… Oh! Hang on, again. They’ve attempted to obfuscate with the REPO BUCKS!!! (like a lottery game, but where the ticket is forced upon you and you have to pay out the jackpot…). Something about, in addition to a flat daily grafting of $75 Bn, another $35 Bn, but only twice a week, unless the moon is full. Originally, it was $30 Bn… It’s still… 

Well, hell! The “zero” button on my calculator broke. 

How on Earth do we explain this??? I thought a little ditty appropriate:

Odd, I know. One class of wizards observes another. “Out of control.”

A ripple of anxiety ran through Wall Street on Sept. 9 when Jay Clayton, chairman of the SEC, warned that corporate debt now stands at $11 trillion, half the annual gross domestic product of the United States. “Should we be cognizant of the growth in corporate debt, who holds that debt and the potential ramifications for our markets and our economy?” Clayton asked. “Of course we should.”

His warning was timely for Hollywood, coming just a couple of weeks before Endeavor Group Holdings CEO Ari Emanuel pulled the plug Sept. 26 on an initial public offering that investors had regarded warily because of his company’s staggering debt of $4.6 billion.

Yeah, poor, satanic Hellywood… Maybe the one faction should have consulted with the other? Just as the government debt dooms the state, the corporate debt dooms those artificial government-created entities. When they all fall, not much will be left standing. It’s like when Apprentice Mickey unleashed heck, but with no “good” wizard standing by to fix things – and real, not a cartoon. Speaking of, hopefully, this will bring the end of  Devil Mouse, Inc.

The Casualties Will Be Extreme

84% of women soldiers failed the new Army ACFT.

According to the numbers, a jaw-dropping 36% of soldiers overall failed the test, with 64% passing. When you break it down by gender, 70% of men passed. But here is a number should kill and bury the ACFT evermore: 84% of women failed the test. Those numbers are so absurdly biased against women that I was afraid this was some sort of elaborate joke by Duffelblog. But I spoke with one soldier in a leadership position at an ACFT test battalion, and the soldier confirmed that the leaked numbers lined up almost exactly with those of the soldier’s battalion.

Here is why those fail numbers are so bad, male or female: you fail your physical training test, you get flagged. You aren’t going to military schools like Basic Leader Course or Airborne School. And if somehow you get there anyway, when you’re tested again you’ll be turned around and sent home. You cannot be promoted. You cannot be reclassified into another MOS. In the Guard and reserve, you cannot be transferred. You lose your tuition assistance. You can’t even reenlist!

Here is where it gets really ugly. If 84% of women are failing this test—keep in mind, 84% of women who are in battalions specifically preparing for the ACFT—you have essentially eliminated women from the United States Army. It gets uglier yet. When a woman gives birth, she gets a six-month profile excusing her from the ACFT. The thing is: the real killer for women is the “leg tuck” portion of the ACFT, in which you assume a pull-up position and bring your hips and knees up to your elbows and back down as many times as possible in two minutes. That’s asking an awful lot for a woman who has given birth in the last few months; and allows, basically, for no time to actually train up for the event once her profile expires. Already, women are failing the leg tuck test by 72%.

It is no secret that sexism is a problem in the military. What this test makes clear is that said sexism knows no bounds, and with the capricious stroke of a pen, those men have found a way to wash an entire gender from the ranks. If 84% of women are failing the test, the problem is not with women soldiers; it’s the test.

Of course, it’s the sexism and the maternity leave – not biology or anything. This may actually benefit the US in the upcoming conflict. If the Russians and/or Chinese can’t stop laughing, then they can’t fight. Brilliant!

These things are coming almost too fast to keep up with. My TPC column, which will be published after I schedule this post, though not necessarily before the post hits, is called “Repo-ing the Economy.” It’s more about the fun and games of the Fed’s dark sorcery. Now, this.

Some investors are concerned that recent turmoil in a key short-term cash market where banks borrow to fund operations could exacerbate difficulties trading bonds.

Spikes in the cost of overnight loans using repurchase agreements, or repos, could hit bond trading in two ways, investors and analysts said. Rising repo rates make it more expensive for securities dealers to borrow money and to hold government bonds—actions they take frequently to facilitate client trades and manage their risks.

In the repo market, where banks and money-market mutual funds typically lend cash for periods as short as one night in exchange for safe collateral such as Treasurys, rates surged as high as 10% last month from about 2.25% amid an unexpected shortage of available cash in the financial system.

Couple this with what’s going on with China’s cash crash and you get the feeling that a global financial meltdown is upon us – now, not in the future. Bank run, anyone?

Shocking, just shocking allegations about Jeff Epstein. Shocking.

Since the apparent death by suicide of Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan prison, much has come to light about his depraved activities and methods used to sexually abuse underage girls and entrap the rich and powerful for the purposes of blackmail. Epstein’s ties to intelligence, described in-depth in a recent MintPress investigative series, have continued to receive minimal mainstream media coverage, which has essentially moved on from the Epstein scandal despite the fact that his many co-conspirators remain on the loose.

For those who have examined Epstein’s ties to intelligence, there are clear links to both U.S. intelligence and Israeli intelligence, leaving it somewhat open to debate as to which country’s intelligence apparatus was closest to Epstein and most involved in his blackmail/sex-trafficking activities. A recent interview given by a former high-ranking official in Israeli military intelligence has claimed that Epstein’s sexual blackmail enterprise was an Israel intelligence operation run for the purpose of entrapping powerful individuals and politicians in the United States and abroad.

In an interview with Zev Shalev, former CBS News executive producer and award-winning investigative journalist for Narativ, the former senior executive for Israel’s Directorate of Military Intelligence, Ari Ben-Menashe, claimed not only to have met Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, back in the 1980s, but that both Epstein and Maxwell were already working with Israeli intelligence during that time period.

“They found a niche”

I mean! Who, be it a Farcebooker or a TeeVee viewer, who has ever even pondered this kind of connection??? If it’s true, that would mean that certain people are okay with destroying our children all in exchange for a little information on rivals. Good job on the MSM for keeping this (and so much more) under wraps.
