- Denzelle Washington was baptized and presented with a certificate of baptism and a ministry training license in New York yesterday. As for his past religious experience:
- Washington previously opened up about his faith in a November essay for Esquire, reflecting on how he grew up going to church but after witnessing altar calls and “people being saved,” he “didn’t really know” what was happening when he was young.
- The whole Congresswoman Kay Granger story is bizarre and shady, and I don’t know where to start.
- Where is U.S. Rep. Kay Granger? Not ‘missing’ and not ‘in Dementia care’
- When the news about her first broke, the headlines stated she’s been “missing for six months.” That’s not accurate. She hasn’t cast a vote since July 24 and returned to Washington, D.C., in November for a celebration in her honor.
- The Dallas Express broke the news. If you aren’t familiar with them, that’s okay; no one really has.“This is a political website, run by political activists, edited by political activists, written by political activists,” Fort Worth Star-Telegram political analyst Bud Kennedy said. “There are not really any journalists involved.”
However, it used to be a real weekly newspaper, and what we have here is Republicans attacking a Republican:
- It brings back into the spotlight the question of how old a government/political leader can serve before stepping down or if there should be cognitive tests for people in these positions. But the thing is, we keep electing them and putting them there. Recent examples include Granger (81), the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Mitch McConnell (82), Speaker Pelosi (84), President Biden (82), and I’ll even go as far to say President-Elect Trump (78). You also have Senator Charles Grassley (90) and four other House Representatives over 80.
- It’s time for Congress to start the conversation, debate, and make legislation on this matter. Granger’s son says she’s in assisted living but not in the dementia unit. But, if you have to live in such a facility and can’t even be on camera to make your own statement, you should have stepped down long ago.

- I’m not sure if this is a step towards Idiocracy or not –
- More Americans Get Their News From YouTube — and There’s No Going BackA recent Pew Research Center study found that 54 percent of U.S. adults now get at least some of their information from YouTube newscasters, 25 percent of them on a regular basis (especially, curiously, women, who make up 57 percent of the YouTube news audience).

- I’m willing to bet that during the next four years, Rumble is going to grow and become as mainstream as YouTube.
- I’m also willing to bet Walter Goggins’ name will be mainstream over the next four years.

- When Vanderbilt upset Alabama this season, one of the first things their starting quarterback said in an interview was being thankful for NIL for making something like that possible. That quarterback went to court this year in hopes to play another year in college, and won. The college game you once loved is no more. Soon, it will be a normal thing to see a 27 or 28 year-old college player unless they amend some rules.
- Pavia initially filed a lawsuit in November against the NCAA, arguing that because the governing body counts junior college seasons towards NCAA eligibility and athletes cannot redshirt after they have played four years, NCAA rules violate antitrust law. The former New Mexico State transfer also argued that this forced athletes to miss out on NIL dollars.
- I haven’t watched the show, but I have seen the viral clip, and Bill Bob Thorton’s character’s reaction annoys me greatly. Even if his teenage daughter’s description of birth control is crass and written for shock value, I don’t understand why the father doesn’t explain to his daughter that she can most definitely still get pregnant. A lot of impressionable teens and young adults will be watching this show, so shame on Taylor Sheridan. As talented a writer as Sheridan is, I predict increasing backlash over the next four years.
