ROGER KIMBALL: Trump’s Second Term Resets Washington’s Playbook. Remember the good old days when the FBI would hang out in the parking lots of Catholic churches where the traditional Latin Mass was celebrated? The Bureau claimed that such churches were a breeding ground for what the Biden administration called “domestic extremism” and offered plenty of scope for what the FBI called “mitigation opportunities.” Hence, they jotted down the license plate numbers of the parishioners who just got done reciting really dangerous things like “Sanguis Christi custodiat me in vitam aeternam.” “See? See? They’re talking about blood!” Those were the days. You could go to a school board meeting and watch hapless parents being tackled and hauled off by the police for complaining that they didn’t want little Johnny battened on books like Gender ***** or, come to that, they didn’t want that bloke Jack, who called himself Jill, moseying about the girl’s bathroom or playing touch football on the girls’ team. Wot larks! That’s all over now. Sure, here and there, you will discover some pasty-faced feminist festooning her classroom with pride flags and banners instructing us to “globalize the intifada” or whatever. But those pathetic eructations are like the twitching of a frog’s legs after the dissection has begun: vestigial motor movements produced by stimulus, not life. The magnificent address by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth last week was evidence of the new dispensation: “No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses,” Hegseth said to the hundreds of senior officers he had summoned. “No more climate change worship. No more division, distraction, or gender delusions. No more debris.” https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/05/trumps-second-term-resets-washingtons-playbook/ Read the whole thing.

Schwartz should have been named head coach. Instead, Pegula picked Ryan. Horrible hire. Maybe Schwartz wouldn’t have worked out but hiring Ryan and the absolute disaster of the last 15 years of Buffalo Sabres hockey, makes me laugh at the occasional “fire McDermott and/or Beane” thread. I wouldn’t trust Pegula to make a good decision on hiring the team janitor.

Hakeem Jeffries demands you “pay your fair share” with higher taxes when he only pays just $213 in property taxes each year since buying his $1.2M Brooklyn condo in 2007. He’s exploiting a tax abatement program meant for low income affordable housing. He supported expanding this loophole during his tenure in the New York State Assembly even though the program now costs the city approximately $1.4 billion annually in lost tax revenue. -

And your evidence that Mahomes would have been fine? Right, none. A completely unsupported opinion. What Mahomes himself has said and thought can be seen a bit in this article from Albert Breer written about his first start of his second year: https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/09/14/patrick-mahomes-kansas-city-chiefs-andy-reid Here's an excerpt: “I made the right read and got the ball into his hands,” Mahomes said on Thursday, from the Chiefs facility. “Just stuff like that, where you don’t have to make the amazing play, you can just make the right read, put the ball into your playmaker’s hands and score big touchdowns that way. I definitely benefited from having that year to learn to not try to take the big shot at every single play.” Mahomes is right. He didn’t take a shot there. But the result hit the Chargers like a hollow point bullet—Hill caught the ball in stride, streaking to Mahomes’s left side and taking advantage of a Los Angeles defense influenced to the right by the play’s run action. Fifty-eight yards later, it was 14–3 Chiefs. And the 22-year-old’s time at the helm of Andy Reid’s offense was, quite literally, off and running. That was just one play exemplifying how far he’s come. By the time the sun-soaked afternoon in L.A. was over, the Chiefs had 38 points on the scoreboard and Mahomes had completed 15 of 27 attempts for 256 yards, four touchdowns and a 127.5 rating, which amounts to a lot of proof that Reid and the Chiefs did right by their young gunslinger last year. (And worth noting while looking at those last few lines that the one game he played as a rookie, he had a rating of 76.4, zero TDs and one INT, while in that first game his second season he had four TDs, zero INTs and a rating more than 50 points higher.) Totally agree with your second paragraph, though. Some guys need time much more than others
