RFK says Trump's transition team has been working for 3 months, all privately funded, no lobbyists involved

"I was listening this morning to this extraordinary interview that Donald Trump did with Joe Rogan yesterday... and he said, 'This time I'm not gonna do that.' He told us that (too), and he didn't just promise that, but he did something no other president's done before. Normally, the transition team is not created until November 6th because GAO, the General Accounting Office, pays for all the cost of the transition team. Trump said, 'I'm not gonna do it this time. I'm not gonna do it their way. I'm gonna start my own transition team three months early.' And he got private donors to fund it, and he's appointed 20 people including me and Tulsi, and there's people of all different kinds of ideology and people who we're gonna have to go up against on that transition team and fight for our vision. But I can tell you this, which is unique: there are no corporate lobbyists on that transition team. And, usually, it's 100% corporate lobbyists. So it's very, very different, and it gives me lots of hope that this government is gonna be different than any government we've ever seen."

Wrestling Athlete to Coach Pipeline

Had some random thoughts pop up on my drive into work this morning that I wanted to share with people who are smarter than me.

Is wrestling the only sport where it’s all-time great athletes have consistently transitioned to being great coaches? Dan Gable, John Smith, and Cael Sanderson (and hopefully David Taylor soon) are all on the Mount Rushmore of American wrestling competitors who transitioned to coaching and produced some dominant teams.

I could be entirely wrong, but I don’t think guys like Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, Cal Ripken, or **insert your personal GOAT in any sport* could turn a college or professional team in their respective sport into a dynasty in the way those other guys have.

Thinking about that got me wondering why that’s the case, and what are the characteristics that make a great wrestler which also translate to being a great coach. Is it because they have a chance to roll with the guys in the room? Is it because there’s so much more of a mental/mindset component to wrestling than those other sports? I’m not totally sure.

Sorry for the long, maybe rambling, post. Just something for y’all to chew on this fine Thursday afternoon .

I think I found why Pubs are talking about Virginia

Virginia doesn't break out the party affiliation for its early ballot data. However, they do break out ballot data by congressional district. Virginia has 11 congressional districts: 5 are Republican held (1,2,5,6,9) and Dems have 6 (3,4,7,8,10,11). If you compare the vote counts by district, something very interesting shows up. Every Republican district has already surpassed 50% of their 2020 total vote. Not 1 Democrat-held district has reached 50% yet. Now many of the Dem districts have a larger denominator based on the vote totals from 2020 and there is no guarantee that Republican-held districts voted Republican in this election. Nor do I think it will be enough for the Pubs to carry the state. But it is an interesting phenomenon which would likely indicate higher enthusiasm for the Pubs out the gate. Full numbers and sourcing below. (Rounding applied)

Republican Districts: (Total votes as of yesterday/Final Total for 2020)

CD1: 163K/293K - 55.6%
CD2: 116K/220K - 52.7%
CD5: 136K/233K - 58.4%
CD6: 122K/211K - 57.8%
CD9: 114K/173K - 65.9%

Democrat Districts:

CD3: 80K/224K - 35.7%
CD4: 112K/258K - 43.4%
CD7: 124K/287K - 43.2%
CD8: 125K/304K - 41.1%
CD10: 133K/334K - 39.8%
CD11: 134K/282K - 47.5%
