- It was tough to turn down tickets to what will be an epic UFC fight at the White House to celebrate Flag Day, but after the last vote of the week I’m headed back to E. WA for parades, kids hoops and flag football, a couple of graduations and an in-district work week. 🇺🇸
00:00 - Every American should applaud what President Trump and Republicans have done to make America the world’s leading producer of energy - making us and the world safer, wealthier and much less dependent on the volatile Middle East. 🇺🇸The United States has become the world's largest oil exporter, upending a decades-old order long dominated by Saudi Arabia and Russia, a shift that tightens American companies' grip on energy markets as Washington's war with Iran reshapes global energy trade.
- We need to make sure that we get data centers right. They shouldn’t be forced into communities that don’t want them and they should not increase electricity rate rates or water rate rates for homeowners. We also need to make sure that we have a moral, ethical, and legal framework
- Iran’s terrorist leadership has leverage vs the US in the straights of Hormuz in the way a 3 yr old has leverage vs his parents at dinner. The toddler can make dinner unpleasant for a while, but eventually the toddler will be spanked and sent to his room and the parents won’t be

00:00 - When I write my book about “Insurgent Warfare & Football Strategy” about travels with Mike Leach I’ll tell the hilarious story about why we named the unusual WR snap play my brother designed w Mike in Cambodia “Big Gulp” after Dan Wolken. 🇺🇸
Texas Tech and mega-booster Cody Campbell have agency in the Brendan Sorsby mess. They could cut him loose and tell him he can’t play for them. Instead, they’d rather embarrass themselves. Column for @YahooSports sports.yahoo.com/college-footba… - The straights of Hormuz are a tremendous strategic weakness for Iran. It’s relatively straightforward for the US (or any willing country) to keep Iran’s economic lifeblood bottled up at relatively low cost (and some benefit). Iran’s only meager short-term leverage expires in 5
- America has a lot of options in Iran and we have the strategic leverage to control the timetable. Credit to President Trump for responding to the Iranian attack, but also being shrewd enough to not let the many malign forces in the region who benefit from escalation dictate the
