    I would guess there's wire fraud somewhere in that indictment.

    You don't know Arkansas demographics. The state is only 15.4% Black and 77% White. In fact Hispanics are the largest minority in NWA. The Delta has drained dry as the majority Black and minority White populations alike moved out.

    Tens of people reportedly rally to Trump’s support

    He was right on one thing. He will be arrested on Tuesday.

    We don't know what the charges are. They could be 36 traffic tickets.

    Well, a 5-minute skip through Google appears to indicate North Little Rock is pretty much the state's leading dynasty in the state's largest class, and additional Googling indicates its student body is something like 60-65 percent Black while the boys' basketball teams appear about 92 percent Black, and that's exactly the type of high school good god fearin MAGA people send there kids to Billah Bob's Charter Bible Academy to get away from, and then they cry about their gritty gutty hardworkin kids getting beat outa state championships by them welfare thugs from the ghetto.

    So I'd guess fairly quickly they'll figure out they don't want the public schools given a free ticket over the private academies.

    I'll just leave it to others to describe the push-pull within the state in athletics. The debate is real.

    Oh sure, I've heard both ends of it too.For virtually my entire 30-year time span as a sports editor, prep sports writer, and managing editor at dailies of various size and scope scattered around Michigan, pretty much every single year we'd get letters in a never endtng campaign by a football coach from a public high school in one of the rural forest counties in the northern Lower Peninsula, beseeching the MHSAA to take various punitive steps against private schools in the tournaments (usually ban them completely, other times kick them into a separate higher division for private schools only).
    Anyway what brought this on was that this guy had a perennial powerhouse in his rural league up north, winning their regular season league title about 75% of the time and frequently advancing far into the playoffs in Class C, but almost always falling in the quarterfinals or semifinals when they got stomped by one of the private school juggernauts from downstate, usually Detroit dePorres, Orchard Lake St Mary, Saginaw Nouvel or Jackson Lumen Christi.
    This campaign never got very far because the vast majority of private school teams were not winning championships at any disproportionate rate (about a dozen or so most prominent ones were) but in the 1990s schools of choice and charter schools became more and more a thing and the anti private school sentiment almost completely flipped.

    Lost in the Trump news is what Disney just did to DeSantis.

    It’s a royally majestic play done out in plain sight that shows the ineptitude of the right.

    Surprised that the NY Post headline wasn’t “Black Prosecutor Indicts President Trump”.

    I’m hoping Russia will want to swap Evan Gershkovich for Trump in a prisoner exchange.
