Lou Holtz, the legendary college football coach who led Notre Dame to their last national championship, has died. He was 89 years old. Holtz entered hospice care earlier this year but remained in high spirits as he entered the final phase of his life. A life that certainly left its mark on the world of college football, as Holtz first gained national prominence guiding the Arkansas Razorbacks to an 11-1 record and a thrilling bowl victory over Oklahoma. While Holtz would have his greatest moment by winning a national championship at Notre Dame in 1988, he would amass a record of dominance in his 40 years as a head coach.

Comments:

He was also a vocal supporter of President Trump. Rest in peace, Coach.

Touchdown Jesus lifted him straight up to heaven where his beloved wife was waiting.. This quiet man was a giant and inspired countless young men on and off the field. No one can replace him. God. Country. Notre Dame. Thank you, Coach.

That’s a shame. He was a great coach, a funny guy, and a great motivational speaker. When he coached Arkansas, they were practicing for an upcoming bowl game that everyone expected them to lose. He was interviewed by a sports reporter who asked him how he was sleeping. He said “like a baby - I wake up every two hours and cry!” They won the game. His motivational talks always included talks about rolling with the punches in life, and looking ahead; he said “I’ve been up, and I’ve been down, and I’ll be both places again.” He’ll be missed. Rest in peace, Coach.

I was born in So. Bend and raised on ND football. My grandparents had season tickets and were always happy to give me a pair once a year. Saw a lot of good football. Coach was such a decent man. Something some coaches have lost touch with. Humble, caring, and a God loving man. No doubt he is walking with his wife in heaven. He had a long good life and now it is time for his reward. Coach, you will be missed but you will never be forgotten. You were a big part of the fabric at ND. Rest in Peace and watch over the Fighting Irish from Heaven.

When he was the coach at N.C. State, my husband and I heard him speak at an alumni dinner. What a delightful person he was as well as a fantastic coach. He was an inspiration to his players. RIP

Setting the stage for a new fight with the White House, New York’s top cop promised “further action” if a hospital system doesn’t resume chemical castration of minors. Last month, in compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive order that cut off funding for institutions that continued medically maiming children in the name of alphabet activism, NYU Langone Health halted its Transgender Youth Health Program. Now, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) has given the hospital system until March 11 to restart it, demonstrating “how desperate Democrats are to mutilate your kids.”

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that federal appeals courts must defer to immigration judges’ determinations on whether asylum-seekers face harm in their home countries severe enough to qualify for U.S. protection, marking a victory for the Trump administration’s immigration agenda. The decision is expected to streamline the asylum process and block common tactics used by applicants and their attorneys to delay removal from the country. [Tweet] The case, Urias-Orellana et al. v. Bondi, centered on a family that entered the country from El Salvador in 2021 and pursued asylum. They claimed they were being persecuted based on credible testimony

Takeshi Ebisawa, a Japanese national, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiracy to traffic nuclear materials, including uranium and weapons-grade plutonium, from Burma to other countries, as well as international narcotics trafficking, weapons, and money laundering crimes. Ebisawa previously pleaded guilty to six counts for those offenses before U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon for the Southern District of New York. Court records say that from about 2019 until Ebisawa's arrest on or about April 4, 2022, the DEA investigated Ebisawa in connection with the large-scale trafficking of narcotics, weapons, and nuclear materials. “National security and public safety are the very tenets of DEA’s mission,

We’re all aware of a sickness in our public life right now. To be honest, I'd call it much more of a spiritual attack from darkness. But at the very least, it's a widespread cultural delusion of gender ideology. The symptoms are not coming from the parents who are asking hard questions. It is coming from the people who cannot tolerate those questions. This week, video surfaced of Madeline Mann, a UCSF administrator, threatening to kill a woman for speaking out against gender transition surgeries on minors. The target was Beth Bourne, a mother who has been critical of medical interventions pushed on children struggling with gender dysphoria.

The B-52 Stratofortress bomber, often affectionately referred to as the "Big, Ugly, Fat Fellow," or BUFF, is an aircraft whose design history begins at the end of World War 2. The first B-52 bombers were delivered to the United States Air Force in the early 1950s, and the newer marks of that magnificent warbird are still flying today. There's a good reason for the long service of this wonderful warbird; it may not be as slick, as fast, or as fancy as newer aircraft, but if you need a few dozen square miles of countryside destroyed and you need it destroyed right now, the BUFF can get that done.

Texas state Rep. James Talarico secured a victory over Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democrat primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, overturning weeks of polling that had shown the Dallas congresswoman with a significant advantage in the race to determine the party’s nominee in the 2026 contest for the seat currently held by Republican Sen. John Cornyn. Recent polling ahead of the March 3 primary showed Crockett leading. A University of Texas at Tyler poll conducted Feb. 13–22 surveyed 1,117 registered voters and 959 likely voters and found Crockett with 55 percent support compared to Talarico’s 37 percent, outside the poll’s 3.2-point margin of error

A prominent Shiite organization in Dearborn, Michigan, held a memorial for the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the weekend, honoring him for his "martyrdom" while accusing Americans of being led by Satan. "We're gathered here today to commemorate the martyrdom of the great leader of our time, Sayyid Ali Hussein Khamenei," said Hassan Salamey, one of the speakers at the memorial held at the Hadi Institute on Sunday, a day after U.S. and Israeli forces executed Khamenei and other top Iranian officials in Operation Epic Fury. Footage of the service went viral after being shared by the nonprofit Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) on X.

An American submarine sank an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed Wednesday, the first US sinking of an enemy ship by torpedo since World War II. The attack left at least 101 people missing, one dead and 78 injured, sources in Sri Lanka’s navy and defense ministry told Reuters. The IRIS Dena frigate was armed with heavy guns, surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles and torpedoes and could carry a helicopter. The 180-crew frigate had issued a distress call at dawn. “An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo,”

Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) has been a lightning rod for criticism due to her outlandish statements, ever-changing accents, and generally reprehensible behavior. Yet somehow, she thought she was ready for the United States Senate. The voters are weighing in, and their answer so far is: yeah, maybe not so much. Although the official vote count has not been made final, Crockett trails at this hour to her competitor, TX state representative James Talarico. There’s already some legal back and forth, and courts are involved, so the final outcome may not be confirmed for days. Already, though, Crockett is blaming her poor performance on… election fraud.

Jasmine Crockett didn’t simply lose her Senate primary. She staged a slow-motion meltdown on the way out the door, complete with preemptive claims of cheating and “disenfranchisement,” long before the votes were even done being counted. Early Tuesday evening, while ballots were still being tallied across 254 Texas counties, Crockett started laying the groundwork for an excuse. She told supporters there had been “a lot of confusion” in Dallas County. She insisted that “people have been disenfranchised,” blaming Republicans for supposedly targeting Dallas and hinting darkly at votes that might not count. Then she left her own watch party early and told the crowd not to expect results that night,

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem testified that the Biden administration funneled cash to sponsors who trafficked and abused unaccompanied migrant children. Federal dollars poured through the Department of Health and Human Services right into the pockets of adults escaping screening, meaning many of those people ended up as outright predators. The Office of Refugee Resettlement dumped kids into homes without solid background checks, skipped consistent DNA testing, and ignored follow-ups that could've kept them safe. Nearly 450,000 kids cycled through the system, many of whom disappeared after sloppy placements. If Noem slams down documented proof linking this mess straight to federal blunders,

Brad noted in his write-up that the suggestion/insinuation from these same Iranian regime officials that it was a deliberate "strike" on the school by the U.S. and Israel was not initially met with the appropriate amount of media skepticism from U.S.-based outlets that such claims warranted.
