Not according to Google: The first Super Bowl halftime show took place during Super Bowl I on January 15, 1967, featuring performances by the marching bands of the University of Arizona and Grambling State University, along with trumpeter Al Hirt and a jetpack demonstration. This marked the beginning of the Super Bowl tradition of having halftime entertainment, though it evolved from marching bands to more elaborate musical productions in later years

https://x.com/ddale8/status/1976373005438550392 President Trump littered his Cabinet meeting today with false claims about vaccines and other subjects. A quick fact check: No, there’s no link between vaccines and autism. The CDC website still notes that this idea has been debunked. No, babies aren’t given vaccines twice the size of a glass of water. The dose size is a fraction of a *teaspoon.* No, babies aren’t given 82 vaccines in a single shot. Babies don’t get 82 vaccines in total, let alone in one injection. No, there is no separate measles vaccine available to Americans. No, it’s not true the Amish categorically reject vaccines or pills, or that there is no autism in Amish communities. No, each alleged Venezuelan drug boat doesn’t kill 25,000 Americans. That number makes no sense at all. No, Trump isn’t cutting drug prices by 500% or more. That number makes no mathematical sense. No, Trump wasn’t the rightful winner of the 2020 election. No, Trump hasn’t settled eight wars. His list includes an ongoing Egypt-Ethiopia diplomatic dispute that wasn’t a war, a mystery recent Serbia-Kosovo situation that also wasn’t a recent war, and a war involving Rwanda and the DRC that hasn't actually ended. No, Trump’s big domestic policy law didn’t eliminate tax on Social Security benefits; it temporarily increases the standard deduction for seniors.

“The All-American Halftime Show” Wait, don't they know that Bad Bunny is American? He was born in Puerto Rico, which is a US territory and all it's residents are American citizens. Maybe they should just say it's "The White Halftime Show"

First reported by The Washington Post but subscriber only article, so I had to use another souce. https://theintercept.com/2025/09/25/hegseth-military-generals-admirals-washington-dc/ Pete Hegseth Orders Top Military Leaders to Attend Mystery Meeting Hundreds of generals and admirals have been ordered to Virginia in the coming days, according to four defense officials who spoke to The Intercept on the condition of anonymity. The conclave of general and flag officers is unprecedented and alarming, the sources said. The officials said that the military’s top brass were, on Wednesday, instructed to report to a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, on or around September 30 to meet with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Two sources believed that the timing was pegged to the potential government shutdown. The officials were unsure of the exact reasons behind the extraordinary order. They speculated about the purpose, wondering if it might foretell a culling of general officers; a significant reorganization of the military command structure; a threat to eschew contact with the press; or a loyalty oath about putting Trump administration priorities above all else. One source, somewhat in jest, evoked the phrase “coup d’état,” later clarifying they meant a gutting of leaders who might question Trump’s policies. “It is beyond highly irregular to have all the operational and command GOFOs tasked to fly to DC and also not tell any of them why,” said one of the officials, using military shorthand for general and flag officers. “To say the military leadership is anxious would be an understatement.” “The Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell told The Intercept when asked about the fears expressed by the officials. Most of the military’s top officers — those with the rank of brigadier general or above, or their naval equivalent — are required to attend, the officials said. They said that even top brass in conflict zones and forward areas are among those ordered to the meeting. One official told The Intercept that the order was “madness” and unlike any order in living memory “or probably ever.” Another said that calling home generals and admirals from front-line stations was “reckless” but in keeping with the Trump administration’s efforts to keep the top echelons of the officer corps on a tight leash.

He got that right!

From my friend Grok at Twitter: Turning Point USA Launches All American Halftime Show as Alternative to Bad Bunny's 2026 Super Bowl Performance Last updated 49 minutes ago Turning Point USA announced 'The All American Halftime Show' on Wednesday, scheduling it for February 8, 2026, the same day as Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The event serves as a conservative counter to the NFL's selection of Bad Bunny as the official halftime headliner, amid criticism from figures like President Donald Trump over the league's perceived progressive leanings. Organizers have not yet revealed performers or additional details but aim to emphasize patriotic values.

Third season was far the best as far as his acting is concerned and I get the feeling that he has been reading the books as the character seems more cerebral, like the fictional Reacher.

Ritchson has really grown into the roll as Reacher in the TV series, as in the last season he is more like than the Reacher in the books than previously.

https://x.com/grok/status/1976241551975260280 Kristi Noem claimed authorities arrested the girlfriend of an Antifa founder in Portland, aiming to gain network info for dismantling. However, sources describe Antifa as a decentralized movement without formal founders or leaders. No public details confirm the arrest or identify the individuals involved.

Exactly. Antifa is the ultimate Trump/MAGA bogeyman, as how can anyone ever prove they are not a member of an organization that doesn't exist?

Jeebus. And if anyone believes that I got ocean front land in Arizona I want to sell you.

It exists in name only but not in actuality. It doesn't exist as a formal organization in this country. There are scattered folks that call themselves Antifa but there is no proof they have a connection with anything that is officially organized, because there is no actual organization: no official website, headquarters or identified leaders.

No, progressive Democrat activists have uniformly condemned the actions of Antifa, with few, if any exceptions.

Amazing. The OP is warning in a 2007 post that I will come here in the future and do what I did at the other place, even though "the other place" aka the Politics Sub Forum didn't exist in 2007.

It doesn't exist as an actual organization. If you think it does, where are their headquarters and offices in this country and who are their leaders?

They didn't give a crap about cops being assaulted on Jan 6, but now they are outraged. Shameless hypocrasy.

I don't think he heard the question about suspending habeus corpus. I also think he has no idea what habeus corpus is.

Good luck with that. Antifa is not an actual organization, it doesn't have a headquarters or offices, doesn't run campaigns and there is nothing for anyone to donate funds to even if they wanted to.
