In 35 minutes I get to enter into an extraordinary privilege, wholly undeserved: I'll celebrate Mass on the 25th Anniversary of my ordination to the priesthood, here in the Chapel of St. Augustine in Graham Family Hall with some residents and dear friends. There is much joy and

For one, Mr. Vice President, as a very conservative lawyer friend just texted me in reply to your query: "You can’t just summarily execute alleged drug runners by blowing them up with cruise missiles."
Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.
Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).
The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.
This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.

Douthat being able to get those answers out of Trump is a testimony to why true intellectual diversity is needed in mainstream media. He was able to ask the religion question in a way that was sincere and open, while extremely cunning, only because he is a believer and conservative

For those who are “perplexed” on this call, I recommend they improve their understanding of the rules by watching Jordan Faison’s TD catch.

And to reiterate: we were missing 5 starting defensive players before Moore got his eye poked. The defensive player of the game (Talich) started the year as a backup!

This is a really silly post. A still picture can’t possibly prove control. The ball was still moving before the defender knocked it away. Slow-motion, let alone stills, deceive people. In bang-bang real time the ball was never secured. But yes, it’s not moving in this still shot.
Every picture just leaves me more and more perplexed by this call. This looks like a TD on Sunday. Control and two feet down.

Notre Dame was en route to blowing Miami out until we lost Moore and some other defenders for the two late Miami TD drives. If we are healthy in the playoffs, we are a top contender.

Post updated with video evidence. This video loops 3 times. I only show where he was losing control before the ND player hit the ball. You can clearly see he was trying to maintain control of the ball.
Notre Dame v Miami Catchgate Update:
They ruled it not a catch because he l of the ball as he was bringing the ball down from over his head. Had the ND player then hit the ball after that or not, it would have been the same ruling.
Rules analyst Terry McAulay (former NFL referee) said on the NBC broadcast that Lofton bobbled/slightly lost control of the ball as he was bringing it down and landing, and that he never had it long enough to complete the process of the catch before the ball came loose. That matches what the officials saw on the field and on review.
The defender (Luke Talich) did contact the ball, but the ruling hinged on Lofton never fully establishing and maintaining control through the catch process, especially while going out of bounds. Simply getting both feet in and briefly having the ball isn’t enough if control is already slipping as you land or exit the field of play.

Saturday night was as good as it gets for Notre Dame Stadium. And as the mass of humanity swarmed the Irish in the wake of knocking off No. 1 Miami, this program reminded everyone of how good they can still be.

This is only a controversy because NBC kept only showing the replay in slow-motion.
In real speed it’s about as obvious an incompletion as you can get.

New angle of the debated Elija Lofton catch/no-catch in the end zone in the Miami-Notre Dame game just dropped, via @305Sportss.
I think Lofton’s own reaction shows he knows he had to hold on through the whole process. Michael Irvin sure felt it was a touchdown.
