2025-02-02: Musing on the Luka Doncic trade...maybe Miriam Adelson, Las Vegas real estate player and new owner of the Mavs, is trying to replicate Jerry Jones's results with the Cowboys. Don't win championships, win real estate deals and increase the value of the franchise. Maybe Adelson wants to take the money that would have gone to Luka and invest it in a casino, once Texas leg opens the door to that possibility.
2025-02-05: I am not a conspiracy theorist but if there were something that might just make me one, it could be the Luca Doncic trade.

2025-02-10: I remember it well. I am happy that Fox recognizes the Packers as the only NFL team to win three championships in a row. And the Packers did it twice. That distinction is safe for another three years at least.

2025-02-13: "Putin knows that Trump is desperate for a deal. He promised the end of the war on day one, and he‘s already broken that promise. So now he‘s scrambling to get a peace deal, and he' giving away the house before he even puts it on the market.”

Is this how it was done in "The Art of the Deal," by Donald Trump?

2025-02-13: The United States of America is now governed by a fascist government. Just in case you ever wondered why Germans supported Hitler or Italians supported Mussolini, now you see it firsthand. Even a majority of Americans can actually like fascism.
2025-02-14: Headline: "Texas measles outbreak is the state’s largest in 30 years."

2025-02-22: "Trump administration fires top US general and Navy chief in unprecedented purge of military leadership" -- CNN

2025-02-22: Clear Insights is conducting a telephone poll about a potential Richardson ISD bond election and tax rate increase election.

2025-02-24: Headline: "U.S. votes against U.N. resolution condemning Russia for Ukraine war."
