Important Announcement About USC Blog

When I started this blog 29 months ago, it was going to be more of a hobby after covering USC for more than 20 years.

I never imagined it would grow to its current size and attract such a loyal audience.

Well, now it’s time to grow even more. Today, I’m taking the InsideUSC blog to Sports Illustrated. The new address is https://www.si.com/college/usc/

The new USC blog will be the same in many ways but will have much more video, more recruiting and a stronger “community” area for comments. I hope you will join me at the new site for even more USC coverage.

    1. My new theory on debate: If Joe finds himself starting to forget his (or his wife’s or sister’s) name, he’s going to pretend to be upset with previous Trump response and walk off stage….. (hoping he remembers where “exit” door was)…..

    1. To sum up, the FBI and Obama officials as well as Democratic Party the FBI and Obama officials as well as Democratic Party members of Congress knowingly colluded with the Russians in an attempt to overthrow the legitimate president of the United States, even as they destroyed evidence, lied to Congress, to investigators, and to the FISA court.

      As always, if you want to know what the Democrats are really planning or doing, all you have to do is listen to their accusations against their enemies. If they yell that Trump is colluding, you know they are. If they scream Trump won’t honor the results of an election, you know they won’t.

      And if they shout Trump will bring fascism to America, you know without doubt that if they gain power that is exactly what they will do, shutting down future elections and ending democracy and freedom.

      You have been warned. How are you going to vote in November?

      1. Yes. That actually does sum it up. The problem? There are many people I know —including old lawyer friends and in-laws —-with such serious “daddy problems” that they will happily get stomped by the dems for the rest of their natural born lives in order to feel an instant of joy when (and IF) braindead Biden is announced the winner (which he won’t be —but, by the time the Supreme Court sorts things out —the country will be well on the way to the bloody civil war the dems THINK they want)….

    1. And to ask him, apparently her husband isn’t sure what been doing, either: Richard Blum, husband of Dianne Feinstein, named in UC admissions scandal.

      Blum told the San Francisco Chronicle on Thursday that he’s done nothing wrong and that he has used his clout to get friends and family into the elite public system for years.

      “I did it a bunch of times,” Blum said, adding that he has never considered it a problem to write recommendation letters bypassing the traditional admissions process. A policy prohibiting such influence has been in place throughout Blum’s 18-year tenure on the Board of Regents, the newspaper reported.

      Blum, a financier, told the Chronicle that “no one ever told me it was wrong.” He said he has sent letters of recommendation about friends and family to chancellors at multiple UC campuses since becoming a regent in 2002. “Wherever they were applying. Wherever they wanted to get in.” He recalled sending letters specifically to the chancellors at UC Berkeley, UC Davis, and UC Irvine, but added: “almost everywhere.”

      1. “I didn’t know it was wrong” is not a legal defense. Surprisingly even “My lawyer told me it was okay” is not a legal defense (although you’d have a nice malpractice case against your lawyer)……

      3. While I never liked the idea of a rich guy getting his (probably dumb, homely, privileged) kids into University by donating a bunch of money, as a young fellow I understood that
        “it is what it is.”*

        In the private setting, it likely is a defensible practice.

        However, I’ve always had issues with well-placed PUBLIC servants using their position to grant favors. Repulsive that the highly competitive, TAXPAYER SUPPORTED, UC system acted in such a manner. I guess in libtard-land such practice is considered “acceptable”–especially if the student is a future libtard.

  16. President Trump Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s response to attacks from lib anti-religious bigots:

    Last year at an event with Hillsdale College, Barrett’s student Stephanie Maloney asked the judge “What role, if any, should faith of a nominee have in the confirmation process?”

    Barrett said, “None.”

    “I mean, we have a long tradition of religious tolerance in this country. And in fact, the religious test clause in the Constitution makes it unconstitutional to impose a religious test on anyone who holds public office,” the judge explained.

    “So whether someone is Catholic or Jewish or Evangelical or Muslim or has no faith at all is irrelevant to the job,” Barrett added.

    “I do have one thing that I want to add to that, though. I think when you step back and you think about the debate about whether someone’s religion has any bearing on their fitness for office, it seems to me that the premise of the question is that people of faith would have a uniquely difficult time separating out their moral commitments from their obligation to apply the law. And I think people of faith should reject that premise,” she added.

    “All people, of course– well, we hope, most people– have deeply held moral convictions, whether or not they come from faith. People who have no faith, people who are not religious, have deeply held moral convictions,” Barrett noted. “And it’s just as important for those people to be sure– I just spent time talking about the job of a judge being to set aside moral convictions, personal moral convictions, and personal preferences, and follow the law. That’s a challenge for those of faith and for those who have no faith.”

    “So I think the public should be absolutely concerned about whether a nominee for judicial office will be willing and able to set aside personal preferences, be they moral, be they political, whatever convictions they are,” Barrett explained. “The public should be concerned about whether a nominee can set those aside in favor of following the law.”

    “But that’s not a challenge just for religious people. I mean, that’s a challenge for everyone. And so I think it’s a dangerous road to go down to say that only religious people would not be able to separate out moral convictions from their duty,” she said.

    1. Barrett is not the “brilliant legal scholar” she’s being called. But that hardly matters. She’s a hardworking, fair minded, mentally healthy, caring person. It’s gonna be very hard for the dems to demonize her without looking stupid.
      Side note: Trump looked exhausted at today’s announcement. I hope somebody close to him tells him to get some fucking rest before Tuesday. The only thing that can do him in is coming into the debate tired. He’s ready —all he needs to do between now and Tuesday is get some sleep.

      1. I agree. [Graham is cutting it too close with Committee vote on October 22 –it doesn’t give the full senate much wiggle room —and there are sure to be legal challenges that slow things up. Debate should be limited UNLESS the whole idea is to let Barrett get beat up for political purposes].

    1. It’ll be hard for Chris Wallace to bail Joe out if he has more than one brain freeze during the 90 minutes. If he only has one “moron moment”, everyone will say he was brilliant. But if he has two or more — nothing —not even Chris Wallace answering the question for him —will save Joe.

  33. Time To Dismantle the FBI.

    Fox’s Sean Hannity—Lord love him—has long been in the forefront of the fight to expose the Trump-Russia probe which, we learn increasingly virtually every day, was even more immoral, seditious, and anti-American than we had imagined.

    Most recently, it has been revealed the sub-source for the Steele Dossier—the guy Christopher Steele relied upon for his vile lies—had already been investigated by the FBI as, of all things, a Russian agent, making the Dossier itself likely deliberate Russian disinformation that was accepted by the FBI anyway because… well… by any means necessary. (The shameless liars at Mueller’s operation claimed the Russians favored Trump, which is ludicrous given this revelation plus the content of the Dossier.)

    It’s amazing it took three years for us to learn this.

    But Sean H. evidently made one, I regret to say serious, mistake, probably because he’s basically a nice guy from a law enforcement family. He insisted all along that the problems in the FBI were only at the top, the so-called “Seventh Floor,” the domain of Comey, Strzok, McCabe, and the others.

    Unfortunately, no. Also just revealed after three years are 302s (near-contemporaneous notes made after an interview) and texts that show lower-ranking FBI agents too were aware of the malfeasances that were occurring in the early stages of the Michael Flynn case.

    In fact these agents were so alarmed they were considering professional liability insurance lest they be sued for the dishonest—one could even say treasonous— activities in which they were being forced to participate.

    Frankly, I never imagined a FBI agent could even buy such insurance. The implications are unpatriotic on their face. But live and learn.

    It’s interesting too, given the nervous chatter among themselves, not one of these agents became a whistleblower. I guess you have to be a friend of Adam Schiff for that. Or prodded by him.

    What this adds up to, of course, is that although the direction of Obamagate or Spygate (call it what you will) came from the top—the “Seventh Floor” and above—others down the food chain knew about it. They too were guilty, although less than their superiors. They were the cowardly soldiers who went along.

    How many such people there were we don’t know and, needless to say, there still are plenty of good men and women in the FBI, but it’s clear the organization has been so corrupted it needs to be dismantled—or reformed so entirely it might as well be dismantled.

    Christopher Wray, the current director of the FBI, is about as far from the man to accomplish this as you could conjure. A Deep State apparatchik par excellence he has had difficulty going so far as to acknowledge the existence of Antifa. (He finally did). He preferred the canard of saying the real danger was white supremacists. Apparently, he doesn’t get out much. Most likely he will be gone very shortly if Trump is reelected.

    A new national law enforcement agency should be built from the ground up with its headquarters far from Washington. I would like to think some version of this is on the agenda for Trump II.

    But what if Biden wins?

    Well, we know whose side the FBI is on.

    1. Unfortunately, Sean is afraid to tell the truth about the FBI (probably due to the fact they can SO easily destroy him if they want to). I must say the smartest law enforcement people I ever worked with were FBI agents — in the late ’90’s and early 2000’s they were the best in the world. That was before Obama/Biden. Yes, there are plenty of great and dedicated agents left —-but the entire decision making echelon is as corrupt as it gets. If it weren’t, there would have been whistleblowers coming out the windows after all the shit Comey was up to.
