    It is my understanding that unless the victim is an employee or student of Ohio St., title IX doesn't apply to this situation.

     

     

    Title IX is a federal civil rights law in the United States of America that was passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. This is Public Law No. 92‑318, 86 Stat. 235 (June 23, 1972), codified at 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681–1688. It was co-authored and introduced by Senator Birch Bayh in the U.S. Senate. It was later renamed the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act in 2002 after Patsy Mink, its late U.S. House co-author and sponsor. The following is the original text as written and signed into law by President Richard Nixon in 1972:[1]

    No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

    Maybe I don't understand something of the politics or sponsorship of this board, but I don't get how a commercial enterprise can solicit ideas for their "stock & trade" (particularly in exchange for a just a paltry free t-shirt).  And then have the topic PINNED. Seriously?

     

    If anyone has a good idea for a t-shirt, there are any number of places on the internet that will make them up for you. You can sell them yourself, quite easily for very little on Etsy or Ebay or roll your own web store. The hardest part is the good idea. I don't get why anyone would give away good ideas (or even half-baked ones) to people who only intend to profit from them.

    Just guessing here, but probably to keep the board free.

    what if a democrat disguised himself as a republican and wrote a quick tax bill and dropped it on donnies desk to sign?   it's crazy enough that it just might work.

    It probably would work, since that's kind of how he got elected; life-long democrat, disguised himself as a republican (i think a poor disguise); won the nomination/presidency.  A lot of people had to be fooled for it to work, but, here we are.

  4. I'm sure he will.  He an Sen. Lee sponsored and amendment basically making the Corporate tax 1% smaller and using that money to help with the Child Tax Credit.  It failed to pass 29-71.  Good article about it on National Review.  I'm sure if he were President and wanted this in the tax cut plan, it would be in there.  Hence my stating that I wish he would have won the nomination/presidency.

    I feel like this is the best place to put this, as it's a look at a fairly prominent alt-right guy from Sweden. The American Right should know what they've gotten in bed with, what their party and a lot of their base refuse to get away from:

     

     

    Did you notice the clip in the feed of Bill Maher, years ago, defending Mary Kay Latrouneau. she was the teacher in, I believe, Washington, who had sexual relations with her 14 year old student......Kind of creepy.

    Well she became famous by portraying an awful person on The Apprentice, which was likely the real her but also played up for reality show drama. 

     

    She used her fame as a patronizing, polarizing, incredibly entitled celebrity to hold jobs that were outside her skillset, and parlayed her loyalty to Trump into a White House job, where she did little beyond being one of the few black people he could point to during one of his racist missteps. Out-of-her-league but still acting entitled, Omarosa apparently rubbed her much more experienced colleagues the wrong way, and ignored all sorts of White House protocols, including bringing her entire wedding party to the Rose Garden without permission. 

     

    She famously said this back in 2011, and while she gets points for her prescience, it also confirms her vindictive leanings:

     

    “Every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump,” she said. "It’s everyone who’s ever doubted Donald, who ever disagreed, who ever challenged him. It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe.”

    Thanks

    Cray cray.

     

    There are a few adults who took their jobs with the White House because either a) you don't pass up the chance to work for the President of the United States, and/or b) they know what they're doing and genuinely want to help.

     

    Some day they will be telling the true stories here, and they will be doozies. 

     

    Omarosa isn't one of them. She may tell her story, and it may be damning, but she's an awful person several leagues out of her depth. 

    Why is she an awful person?  I truly know nothing about her.

    on fox news they are saying jones is a lame duck senator though.  he has 0% chance of winning next time.  they may be right.....but for now this is the correct result in so many ways.

     

    now back to russia is a hoax and the fbi is bad from fox.

    Although I would never underestimate the power of being incumbency.

  9. I wonder if there are Democrats in Alabama who will vote for Moore, knowing that they could tie a "Sen. Moore (R)", to every Republican Senator/Congressman during next years midterms; and if there are Republicans in Alabama who will vote for Jones because they don't want there the be a Sen. Moore (R) for the very same reason.

    You should see it on Twitter it’s a sh!* show, Tennessee fans saying they’ll cancel season tickets if they hire Doeren(so?) who to my understanding is pretty solid, probably better than Schiano. Sheesh

    I was on Volnation and there was already a "fire Doeren" thread.  I went to an NC State board to see what they thought of Doeren, and there was a "Fire Doeren" thread.  Wonder if he's the first one to have an active "fire" thread on two different teams message boards.

  11. Was just over at volnation.  Some are advocating blowing up Doerens Twitter to convince him not to take the Tennessee job if offered.  If that happens, what coach in their right mind would ever consider taking a job there?  Some also slamming Peyton Manning.  Apparently there is a power struggle between boosters, and Peyton chose the wrong side.  Feel bad for the rational fans in cases like that; they're all going to get lumped together.
