Yes, he can subpoena the president provided he can show relevance to the case; he cannot just go on a fishing expedition and expect a judge to sign off on it particularly if the subject is not just a witness but also a target and the fourth and fifth amendment would likely kick in and the subpoena quashed. This article ↗ has some good information with citations to actual court decisions.

In the last 3 years Michigan in the NCAA...first round, second round, second round.
Because no one told me does not prove it is not true. Obviously @DoubleDD says it happened to him and I take him at his word and there is plenty of annecdotal evidence that it is not as uncommon as you think. You need to open your mind and realize that other people have experiences different than yours.🥂

in their own words. The context seems pretty clear.No one has told me to my face that if I did not vote for Obama I am a racist for two reasons. First, most people I know don’t know who I voted for and second, my circle of friends and acquientances know ne well and know that I am not a racist and are not the type that would make wild accusations. However, I have heard numerous times on the political shows all over MSM commentators/guest/analysts/celebrities state that people that did not vote for Obama have a hatred for him and are racist. Follow the links on the search and you will find lots of examples.
Now, the emphasis has changed and liberals accuse anyone that voted for Trump to be racist which is equally idiotic.
This is the typical...are you going to believe me or your own lying eyes/ears. In the end, you will believe what you want to believe and so will I, for every search you come up that you feel makes your point I can come up with one that makes mine. I guess we could call it a Mexican stand-off but we might be accused of cultural appropriation so this discussion seems pointless, wouldn’t you agree.

A list of Oklahoma, Michigan State, Oregon, Texas and Purdue screams I want to be the top dog for lesser program rather than ride the pine for an elite program.
Cute. You first post was a clear message that since only 4 results showed the issue must not be that great but your own latest search shows over 10 million results so it is obviously a big and real deal.g
You must know since it has been extensively reported that the Google search engine was tweaked to assign low priority to items not favorable to liberals and high priority to items that favored them...it really is not a secret just under reported by the MSM. I personally use DuckDuck go because unlike Google it dies no track your searches and it is politics neutral.
Try this...
He did not quote anyone in particular but expressed what his experience was and you did not even quote him literally either so, why use quotation marks unless you purposely want a completely invalid result for an expression you made up?
I showed you that by just taking the unneeded quotes and searching for the substance of @DoubleDD post you get millions of results that fully validate his point regardless of search engine.
in my Economics class I was taught that economists consider 4% as being full employment or no unemployment since that 4% includes people in between jobs, people taking sabbatical leave or going back to school or just time off, people retiring early, discouraged workers not actively seeking work and so on. Of course I have seen different number as low as 2% but 3% to 4% appears to be the more commonly cited figures.
Plain ol' lying during a political campaign is not against the law, if it were, all politicians would be in jail... joining all cheating spouses, car salesmen, preachers, school kids and most members of society who at one time or another lie...some more than others, of course. Lying becomes a crime when it raises to the level of perjury, fraud or obstruction of justice and likely other circumstances such as when it causes hardship to someone else.

Not a decision I had to make given my limited athleticism and skills, but if the choice is start at Duke or be a bench player at Kansas- I’m a Jayhawk every time. Guess that makes me a homer and I’m willing to bet Mitch is too. He’s living the dream!
I am not sure you really meant to write Duke. Given the choice to "start at Duke" or be a "bench player at KU," 99.9% of elite players will choose Duke. Now, if the choice is to start at a smaller program or ride the pine at KU, I can see how many, particularly those without NBA aspiration, would chose KU. I am sure that every bench player at KU could have started and even be the star at a smaller program.
Why in the world would you use quotes? When you do you are artificially restricting the search and defeating the purpose of the search engine. Try the same search in Google ↗ without the quotes and you get 4.33 million results. The primary reason to use quotes is to limit the search by looking for the exact wording but you did not even quote his generic wording. The search for the gist of what he posted yields millions of results.
I am curious why you think KU might lose Mitch? Unless he can graduate in 3 years, something not easy for an engineering student, he would have to sit one year to play one year. Mitch has been a huge KU fan all his life and if he wanted to leave or red shirt, this would have been the year and I have not heard of either happening.
In fairness to Beaty, it is not like he is trying to pick the best of 3 top QBs, he is trying to pick the best (or least bad) of 3 below average QBs. Until the situation changes, the better QBs with power 5 potential are just not going to pick KU; the last decent one that though about joining KU quickly changed his mind and bolted. Good QBs don’t usually fly below the radar like Reesing did and who was an huge anomaly that scouts did not give credit because his size did not fit the profile of the typical Power 5 QB. If only KU could find another Reesing...
In all fairness, you do know that Google heavily bias searches, right? Try this... ↗ the exact same search on a different search engine.
You are correct that the term siniestra, meaning left handed, was in the past meant to imply evil as in sinister as exemplified by terms such as left handed compliment.
However the origin of the terms left and right as applied to politics and/or ideology originated with the French Revolution in 1789 when members of the National Assembly that were supporters of the king sat to the right and supporters of the revolution to the left and contemporary press started referring them as right and left. Those terms became pretty much universal and the right is generally defined as the conservative wing and the left the liberal side.
I became interested in politics during the Kennedy years and started following in earnest during the Nixon years and as far back as I remember the terms right and left have always meant conservative and liberal. Now, where the parties aligned themselves has varied quite a bit over the years. In the last half century the Republican Party has traditionally been the center to conservative/right side while the Democratic Party has been the center to liberal/left side while other groups such as the Libertarian Party at times placed on the far right or far left depending on the political winds.
Both the Republican and Democratic parties have drifted to the left, in the case of the Republicans it has been mostly the leadership that has abandoned the fiscal principles of the party and moved in a direction opposite to that of its values but the core of the party has not, as @highelitemajor suggested, and the backlash resulted in the rejection of the leadership and election of an outsider that campaigned on bringing the party back. The Democratic Party has moved from a centrist left position under Bill Clinton to a solid to extreme left as evidenced by Sanders, an independent socialist, being allowed to run as a democrat and, if not for the DNC rigged primaries, he would have been the party’s candidate instead of Hillary. The new faces of the Democrats are now Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez-Cortez, Perez, Ellison and Warren, all socialists or extreme left and the bulk of the party now looks at socialism more favorably than capitalism according to a recent poll ↗; this runs contrary to the views of the majority of the country. The 2020 election will without a doubt determine the direction the country will take for the foreseeable future.
Here is something to get you by. Judge dismisses Pitino's lawsuit against Adidas ↗, indicates they must go to arbitration as per contract. He still has a lawsuit against the University.
Here is an article ↗ about the potential QB to keep you busy.
Don't have a problem with the 2 day beard as much as I do with tattoo covered arms.
How KJ does will depend in part on how Vick does since they will be competing for basically the same SF position, although KJ is more versatile and can also play SG and PF. My guess is if Vick explodes like many of us think he might, this could well end up being his team and then KJ takes over next season; KU has done well with seniors leading the team recently.
Garret will be a pleasant surprise from the 3. In fact, KU will be a good 3 point shooting team.
No doubt. WVU will not be as good and KU will be a lot better than last year so I am not too worried about them.
Last season KU had no depth so it had to play conservatively inside. This team has plenty of depth...and bulk and will overwhelm WVU. THe WVU press was very effective but with new personnel and teams more aware of it, its effectiveness is not nearly as much as it used to be. KU beta WVU 3 times last season including a comfortable win in the Big 12 Championship game, so it looks like Coach Self has gotten a handle on how to control and beat WVU.
BTW, as good as Konate is, he still is a punk; I wonder what is the line on technical fouls he will earn next season.
Huggy thinks his front line is pretty good...wishful thinking?

Agreed but sounds to me he really is not as familiar with the KU basketball program as he is with the others; either a lack of real interest or failure to do his own homework on the schools in his latest selection.
Pretty good set of predictions. Grimes averaging 20 would be something else considering the current record for a freshman at KU is Wiggins at 17.1 ppg and Jackson averaged 16.3 ppg with Manning somewhere in between.
I would like to think and the Federalist Papers appears to back up the idea (as a I read them many moons ago) that the "citizen legislator" the founding fathers envisioned would be representative of the society at the time. Yes, back then it would have been primarily white but now it would be of all color and denominations. Still, the concept that regardless of color or ideology citizen legislators would serve for only a term or two instead of becoming professional politicians should still be the ideal goal instead of having life time legislators.
Short of term limits or limiting the perks to make it unattractive to stay long I just don't see any other way to force current legislators to leave. Changing their retirement system to Social Security and 401s like the rest of us, replacing their Cadillac health plan with Affordable Care Act plans and an absolute ban on lobbying for 5 years after theirs terms are over (a non-compete type of clause) would certainly do the trick; I believe the military has already something like the last one although it is very short and easily by-passed.
The founding fathers never envisioned professional politicians, they thought we should have citizen legislators that would take a few years off their careers to contribute to the country and then go back to what they did before and not make a career out of politics. Right now the perks are too much to give up the position, good pay, great health insurance, power, get vested into the retirement plan after a few years...no incentive to go back to their previous jobs.
I have always maintained that the best way to fix social security and health care is to have congress have social security as their retirement plan and Obama care as their health provider...both systems would be fixed in no time flat. Without all the perks term limits would almost no be nessesary.
Politicians have made the system of government so complicated that now they claim you need years of experience to be effective which really is not true; while the system is complicated most of the details are worked out by aides and congressional offices personnel anyway and the congressman is just the front person.
There is a reason why it is called point shaving, it is much easier to purposefully miss shots than to make them. A player can easily “miss” a couple of shot or free throws as needed to manage the spread but there is no guarantee that a player can make a needed shot to beat the spread. Most of the fixed games are those in which a point or two would make a difference and not those with large spreads.
Vegas has now sophisticated algorithms that are constantly looking for changes in betting patterns so point shaving and any type of cheating of any significance are quickly detected and this is why we have not had many incidents in recent years. In any case, the more recent point shaving incidents involving Northwestern, Arizona State, San Diego State and Donaghy in the NBA involved relatively small amounts and the penalties were also light, typically under 2 years and most just months. One would suspect that the “off the record” penalties doled out by gambling interests were likely more severe.
Here is another take ↗ on the changes...
Of course. Until now there was no need for the NCAA to certify agents as getting one ended eligibility.
We are talking about consequences of the new changes and that was my point. To represent HS kids he would have to be certified by the NCAA as the ESPN write up indicates.
mayjay said:
@JayHawkFanToo They have been certified by the NBA Players' Association, I believe. Not much reason until now for the NCAA to get into it since an agency relationship has always ended eligibility.
"Among the significant changes that were adopted by the NCAA's board of governors and Division I board of directors are allowing elite high school basketball recruits and college players to be represented by agents who are certified by the NCAA; allowing eligible underclassmen to enter the NBA draft and return to school if undrafted; introducing more rigorous certification requirements for summer amateur basketball events; and imposing longer postseason bans, suspensions and increased recruiting restrictions for coaches who break rules."
I though agents had to be certified by the NCAA; what are the chances WWW gets certified?...in a perfect world, that is...:smile:
Here is a link with Coach Self’s thoughts on the changes ↗. No doubt that the agent portion and the players being able to come back and scholarship availability are big concerns.
I still think the baseball approach should be implemented. One year players take big advantage of the school; thee school spends a lot of time an resources providing top trainers and coaches, training facilities, school/tutors, room and board and lots of exposure and by the time they start to be really productive they are gone. Top players should be allowed to go straight to the NBA but if they elect to go to college they should stay 3 years which not only makes the sport more stable but also gets them most of the way towards a degree, after all isn’t it why kids go to college...he says trying to keep a straight face. :smiley:
Sorry for your loss, the bond with a brother is a special one.
Apparently UNC still receiving preferential treatment since the suspensions are early in the season and before conference play starts; they were also allowed to stagger the suspensions to “protect players” or as the rest of the world calls it to minimize the impact of penalties.
”UNC was able to request to the NCAA that the suspension of the defensive ends (three of which were listed) be staggered. "Multiple players share the same position, so to protect the health and safety of the students, the NCAA approved a request to stagger certain suspensions," the UNC release said.”
Looks like UNC is in trouble again ↗. I am sure they will get a slap on the wrist and be told ...bad boys..and that will be it.
KU need some votes. go here ↗ and vote for KU. UK is ahead, not because it is the better team but because it has more fans voting. Wall might have a slight edge over Mason and Hinrich and Prince probably pretty close with the edge to Hinrich but KU is much better at the other 3 position.
1 day left...

KU’s Charlie Moore dishes six assists in USA East Coast’s victory over Netherlands
By Gary Bedore

Updated August 06, 2018 09:34 AM
Kansas sophomore point guard Charlie Moore scored one point and dished six assists while playing 16 minutes in USA East Coast’s 61-55 college all-star basketball victory over Netherlands on Sunday at the Tour of Venice competition in Italy.
Moore, a 5-foot-11 transfer from Cal, who is originally from Chicago, missed all seven of his shot attempts. He was 0 for 2 from three and 1 of 2 from the free throw line. He contributed four rebounds.
It was USA East Coast’s first victory in three tries in the four-game event.
On Saturday, Moore scored 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting in USA East Coast’s 100-77 loss to Italy. Moore was 3 of 4 from three with two assists, four turnovers and two rebounds in 17
Let me ask a quick question. Are elite players given the scholarship based on financial need or scholastic achievement? I was under the impression that scholarships were based on their ability to put the ball through the hoop regardless of financial need as long as they meet the basic admission requirements; Michael Jordan's kid was given a scholarship despite of his father's wealth. The only League I know where ALL the scholarships, even sports, are based on financial need alone is the Ivy League. If this is indeed the case, why would they need to submit financial forms? Now, i know that kids that do not get one of the 13 scholarships available can get financial aid but usually those are not the ones that are recipients of under the table money.
Back to KU basketball. Interesting article ↗ on the NCAA site comparing KU and UK and the aurhor gives a slight node to UK; however, he does not even mention either De Sousa or Big Dave.
That was the very first link that came up on Google. I personally do not and have not watched Fox News or any of the networks for a while now. On the other hand, you must watch it quite a bit because you seem to know all about it.

@HighEliteMajor you really need to get off the Fox News. To me, posting links from Fox is like bragging about a cocaine addiction.

The same search on Google yields lots of result from many other publications including the MSN link above.
@mayjay explains it much better than I did. Yes, 0-2 is correct; I knew he was winless againsT KU but I forgot that at the time KU played Texas only once during the regular season.

@JayHawkFanToo implies isn't the same as they won-fact
Actually it does more than implying, it says he led them to the “championship” which he did not. He led them to the championship game which they lost.
Crimsonorblue22 said:
Lead him TO the game, not won it
Except that is not what the post says. It says he led them to the “Championship” not to the game. See @mayjay post.
I respectfully disagree. He led the to the “championship game” not to the “Championship.” FWIW, I just ran it by a family friend who was an English college professor for a number of years and she agreed that as written it clearly implies they won. Durant never beat KU and was 0-3 against the Jayhawks; funny how they missed that part.
