Cowboy Relevance, The LPIGVA, Judson, 7 in Richmond

The Schloss-Blog is on the road, so coming to you earlier than usual this weekend. And we'll be on the air Sunday morning (9 a.m.-noon) on Radio Free Phoenix, spinning rock 'n' roll tunes as I sit in for Joe Catanzaro. we have so much going, so many balls in the air that we're juggling, none more prominently than ...

...Donald Trump

...37 counts

...National Security prospectively compromised.

I'll let Jack Smith handle the rest. He did, actually, in the indictment.

But he added: “We have one set of laws in this country and they apply to everyone,” he said.

By the way, Trump's contention that he declassified materials, does not matter. Per Neal Katyal, the former U.S. Solicitor General, he's not allowed to have them off premise, period. 

'Nuf said.

Isn't it obvious that Donald Trump is only running for president again in hopes of be elected and avoiding prosecution?

Jack Smith. Alvin Bragg. The savvy Roberta Kaplan for E. Jean Carroll. 

Fani Willis waiting in the wings, sometime this summer.

As Terrell Owens would say, "Getcha' popcorn ready."

Kudos to my former student, Corey Stolzenbach, sports editor at the DuBois County Herald in Indiana. He gave me a shout-out on Twitter about how I always, in Sports Reporting class, noted that, "It's always the money."

His reference was to the LIV/PGA deal that has just been consummated. 

He didn't need to reference me. This is definitely all about the money and possibly puts the disgraced Donald Trump back in the golf world, hosting big-time tournaments, instead of barely televised, shotgun-start, three-round only, no cut, "team" LIV events (can't call them tournaments).

Everyone knows, by the way, how Trump is famous for cheating at golf. Now we're going to find out in court if he cheated on everything else.

I watch ESPN and see them consistently asking questions about how far the Dallas Cowboys can go if ... Dak Prescott cuts down on interceptions ... if they get adequate receivers to whom Prescott can throw ... if their defense shows up ... if Mike McCarthy doesn't blow it calling plays.

The Cowboys have not been in the NFC Championship Game since 1996.

1996!!!

What makes anyone think they will be this season?

The Cowboys, again, no conference championship games since 1996 - are irrelevant. Turn them off, ESPN, please.

Seven people, two dead, were shot at a high school graduation ceremony in Richmond, Va.

Politicians are polishing up their best "thoughts and prayers" wishes.

If that's the best they can do, shootings like this will continue to be prevalent in the United States.

Sadly.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Jack Smith.

More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show and Sunday morning, as I sit in for Joe Catanzaro (9 a.m.-noon).
