The Schloss-Blog is looking at the news, scanning social media and gossiping with favorite 'unnamed' sources to gather the best unsourced information you can possibly find anywhere online. Eat your heart out Alex Jones.

There was a shooting (shocker, right?) at a car show in - brace yourself - Arkansas, where anyone 18 and over can carry a weapon - unlicensed.
Motivation for the shooting is unknown but two people opened fire on each other at the show. One person died, 26 were wounded in the what is described as the largest mass shooting in state history, preceding the Emancipation Proclamation, that is.
There's nothing like taking the fam to the annual car show and knowing that the guy behind you and your loved ones in line to see and sit in the prototype IndyCar brought in especially for exclusive display is carrying and will do anything to get to the head of the line if it's taking too long and he's running out of patience.
Reassuring, isn't it?

Been watching all the college hoops? It is indeed March Madness.
The last 2 minutes of the game takes 25 minutes.
Foul. Free throws. Clock stops.
Out of bounds. Off whom? Review.
And review. And review.
You watched it live and you've watched the replays and you've watched four commercials for Capitol One with Charles Barkley, Samuel L. Jackson and Spike Lee dancing on a riverboat or getting to meet Sue Bird and the refs are still reviewing.
Well, review this: if I know, if you know, if anyone watching knows who the ball went out of bounds of off, then the refs must be watching a live stream of Halo.
Actually, it looks pretty cool.

If you watched any of the confirmation hearings for Kentaji Brown Jackson to become a Supreme Court justice, then you know just how disconnected from reality the Republican party is.
Ted Cruz and his charts and his question about whether babies are racist topped the pile of, quite frankly, racist-based questions and lectures delivered by Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley and Cruz.
Are babies racist?
Holy shit! People vote for these guys!
I guess there are a plethora of racist babies in Texas.
Just ask Ted Cruz. When he's not in Cancun.
Seriously, if Republicans are asking about 'racist babies,' they truly are out of touch with reality.
If you vote for a Republican, so are you.
And maybe your 'racist' baby.

How about those sanctions against Russia!
Really making an impact on the war in Ukraine, aren't they?
Just like Crimea. And Georgia. And Chechnya.
They don't work. Putin will go after whatever he wants, at any cost.
To anyone.
But himself.

You have to wonder if the pillow talk in the Clarence and Ginni Thomas household had any influence on the fact that Clarence was the only Supreme Court justice to vote that the National Archives withhold Donald Trump's presidential files from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Thomas has disgraced the court and should step down before he casts his vote to ban abortions and reverse the 2020 election.

The 'Trucker Convoy,' or Frucking Tuckers as I like to call them, have lost all relevance since they're protesting COVID restrictions that have already been relaxed or eliminated in so many states.
I used to work at a trucking company, my uncle's, during spring breaks, between semesters and before I shoved off for the summer.
I always thought truckers were really cool guys.
But they're really just a bunch of Mother Fruckers.

If I would've told you when the NCAA Tournament started that a small Jesuit university would be in the Elite Eight, you'd have said Gonzaga.
Maybe Coldplay had it wrong when they sang:
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never rule this world
But that was when I ruled the world
Kentucky, Murray State and Purdue are not ruling the world and are definitely calling Saint Peter's name.
In vain.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.
