33.A) The Truman Committee: An interview with Steve Drummond
[Abridged] Presidential Histories “When people create delays for profit, when they sell poor products for defense use, when they cheat on price and quality, they aren’t any different from a draft dodger and the public at large feels just the same way about it.” – Senator Harry S. Truman, March 31, 1941 ~~~ As American war industry roared to life in 1941, Senator Harry S. Truman began receiving letters from concerned constituents. Money was being wasted. Badly. And all over the place.
Supreme Power
The summer of 1787 was a hot one in Philadelphia, where 55 men spent 115 days in a room with shuttered windows and no air conditioner debating what a new Constitution should look like. It’s little wonder that after exhaustive rounds of debate over the powers and limitations of presidents and legislators, they phoned it in on the American judiciary and called it a day.
Washington and the debt limit
During the winter of 1777, George Washington struggled to hold his beleaguered revolutionary army together at Valley Forge. His men didn’t have enough food to stay fed, enough shelter to stay warm, or enough arms to drill and practice. The whole thing could have fallen apart right there, because it was hard to get a loan. The ability to borrow money and issue debt was one of the British Empire’s secret weapons during the colonial era.
Who better represents the people: Congress, or the president?
Who better represents the will of the American people: The president or Congress? The Founding Fathers thought the answer was Congress. That’s why they gave Congress the power to write laws, raise taxes, set the federal budget, and approve treaties - what more to governing is there? The president, on the other hand, was the executive, created by the Founders to execute Congress’s will.
In defense of Monopoly
I’m going a bit off topic today. This morning, my wife shared a New Yorker article that claimed Monopoly is “America’s cruelest board game.” I happen to love Monopoly, so this sparked a lively debate. Is Monopoly the worst game ever? Or is it actually kinda good? This week’s New Yorker article is not the first time Monopoly has come under attack. Comedian Dane Cook jokes about being cheated by his nana and Monopoly almost got Emily Blunt and John Krasinski killed in A Quiet Place.
Should Biden run again?
Practically since the day he was elected, President Joe Biden has faced a recurring question: Will he run for reelection in 2024? It’s a fair question. Biden was a record-setting 78 years old when he became president in 2021. He would be 82 on inauguration day in 2025 if he ran again and won again, and 86 on the last days of a possible second term. That’s getting up there. So it’s fair to ask, should this man seek re-election? If Biden is looking out for his legacy, the answer is no.
Spy balloons and U2's
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. An object flying in the upper reaches of the atmosphere is spotted and shot down for violating a nation’s air space. That nation accuses its adversary of spying. The adversary says it was just a routine weather flight that went off course, and how rude of you to shoot our stuff down. This month, it’s a Chinese spy balloon. But in 1960, it was an American U2 spy plane over Soviet Russia, and president Dwight Eisenhower had to contain the fallout.
The 146-year anniversary of a Hail Mary to save the Republic
In their wisdom, the Founding Fathers left us a rule book that explains exactly how our democratic government is supposed to work. You might have heard of it. It’s called the Constitution. Or so the story goes. But if the Constitution is supposed to be our rule book, it’s got more than a few pages missing. Few days are better reminders of that than today, Jan. 29, the anniversary of a Hail Mary attempt to save the union when a contested presidential election threatened to tear it asunder.
Column: Year one done, what will year two hold for Manziel?
If you’re anything like me, it’s never too early to start talking about the next football season. When the future looks as bright as it does for Tivy alumnus and A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, you really want to talk about. The final AP poll, released Tuesday, pegged Manziel’s Aggies at No. 5 in the nation — the school’s highest finish since 1956 when legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant roamed the sidelines.
A hero's welcome
Johnny Manziel’s long-awaited Kerrville homecoming was Saturday evening at Antler Stadium and, although Tivy didn’t get the number of fans it expected, it did get the passion. “He’s a great athlete, and I wanted to see him and after he won the Heisman” said 15-year-old Hal Peterson Middle School student Laci Smith, who arrived at Antler Field at 3 p.m. for the 6 p.m. event. “I’ve been wanting to hear him talk, (and) he impressed me.
Jubilation in Kerrville as fans cheer Johnny Manziel
Saturday night, Kerrville residents huddled around their TVs or gathered at one of the numerous Heisman watch parties around town, their eyes glued to a moment 1,588 miles away. Johnny Manziel, the Kerrville kid who dazzled the nation in maroon and white, was standing beside Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, hoping to hear his name called as the recipient of College Football’s most prestigious award — the Heisman trophy.
Column: Heisman not the end of the road for Manziel, Kerrville
Saturday night, I got home from the office around 9 p.m., having covered a Johnny Manziel Heisman watch party the hours before. Stepping out of my car, my neighbor Winston spotted me. “How’s it going?” he asked. “Great,” I said. “Johnny Manziel won the Heisman, and I just got back from writing about it.” Ten minutes later, we were still talking about Johnny Manziel. Or Johnny Football. Or Johnny Heisman. Or whatever you want to call him.
While NCAA rules prohibit Manziel from profiting from his own success, it can’t stop others
Fame and fortune — they’re what many young athletes want from their careers, yet precious few are lucky enough to achieve. For Tivy alumnus and Texas A&M freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel, half the equation is already there. Winner of the 2012 Heisman Trophy, Manziel spent this week interviewing with national news outlets, appearing on the David Letterman show and spotting billboards of himself on Times Square. He’s just about the most famous individual in college football.
Manziel surprises Antlers with visit
When the Tivy football team trickled into school Friday morning, some of them wore mischievous smiles on their faces. They knew a secret their teammates weren’t wise to. At 2:30, that secret was revealed when Johnny Manziel made a surprise appearance at the school, free of fanfare or media, to talk to the team he’d once been a part of. He reflected on his time at Tivy and shared with them lessons he’d learned about life and football. “I thought it would be cool,” Manziel said.
Manziel makes cover of Dave Campbell’s
Tivy alumnus Johnny Manziel added another first to his impressive list of accomplishments this week by becoming the first freshman to appear on the cover of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Magazine. Dave Campbell’s associate editor Greg Tepper called it one of the easiest cover decisions the magazine has ever made. “In the winter edition, we like to put the biggest story in the state of Texas from the past year on the cover,” Tepper said.
Defending "Johnny Football"
Tuesday, Tivy alumnus Johnny Manziel’s family filed the second of two recent lawsuits against entrepreneurs selling “Johnny Football” T-shirts against the family’s wishes. Coming in the wake of an NCAA decision that Manziel can collect legal damages without compromising his amateur status, the lawsuits have become a new front in the fight to protect college athletes from businesses seeking to exploit them.
Manziel reflects on lessons learned about turning the spotlight into a gift for others
When Johnny Manziel flew into New York City for the Heisman ceremony, he was a popular football player with a catchy nickname. When he woke up the next morning, he was a national superstar. Turns out, there’s quite a difference. “It went from one day, you’re just a normal guy, and the next day, your life changes forever,” Manziel said. “It’s hard to adapt to that in one month, two months, three months. It takes time.
Manziel's former high school coach says he's ready for limelight
When the sun set Saturday, Tivy alumnus and A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel was an anxious Heisman hopeful, unsure of what the night would bring. When the sun rose Sunday morning, his face was on a billboard in Times Square. Now, he is a Heisman winner. More than that, he is the poster boy for a team, a community and a university and the heart of a media blitz that has only just begun.
Kerrville's Johnny Manziel wins the Heisman Trophy
Tivy Alumnus and Texas A&M quarterback made college football history Saturday night by becoming the first freshman in the history of the sport to win the Heisman Trophy, college football’s most prestigious award. “This is a moment that I’ve dreamed about since I’ve been a kid — running around the backyard pretending I was Doug Flutie, throwing Hail Marys to my dad,” Manziel said.
Manziel looks forward to his long-awaited return to Kerrville
The night Johnny Manziel won his Heisman trophy, he was cool as a cucumber on stage. He delivered his speech with poise then hugged his parents without shedding a tear. It was a stoic front that lasted until he got out of the public eye and heard first word of the celebration in Kerrville, his adopted home. “My emotions really didn’t hit me until after I saw coach (Julius) Scott in the hotel room in New York and when I sat there and watched the videos in the limo later that day,” Manziel said.
Johnny Football leads A&M to 43-13 victory, awarded Cotton Bowl MVP
Johnny Manziel entered the AT&T Cotton Bowl shrouded in questions — quite the surprise for the freshman who had just won the Heisman trophy. Had the post-Heisman media circus proven too much a distraction for the young signal caller? How would he fare without departed offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury calling the plays? Would Johnny Manziel still be Johnny Football?
How to win a floor fight
For the first time in 100 years, the majority party in Congress failed to elect a Speaker of the House this week. This means that instead of swearing in new members and enacting legislation, Congress will be trapped in a series of repetitive votes until one candidate earns the 218 votes necessary to become the next Speaker of the House.
Guns now leading cause of death for American children
The New York Times reported this weekend that gun violence just eclipsed traffic fatalities as a leading cause of child deaths (age 1-18) in the United States. 3,597 children were killed by guns last year - twice as many as a decade ago and many times more than any similar country.
Tis' the season for nostalgia
Nostalgia is a trap, but it’s one we keep walking into. We remember the good, we blur out the bad. It’s a perfectly safe drug when taken in moderation, as we tend to do this time of year - the same old songs, the same old movies, the same old recipes we remember from when we were young - just don’t hit it too hard. It’s fitting that right around the peak time for family nostalgia, a moment of national nostalgia presents itself.
The presidents who gave us Thanksgiving
When it comes to Abraham Lincoln, there’s a lot to be thankful for. He ended slavery, won the Civil War, and started a presidential beard trend that lasted 40 years* - it’s a strong legacy. He also introduced Thanksgiving as a national holiday. Thanksgiving had been around before Lincoln. President George Washington declared a “Day of publick Thanksgivin (sic)” on November 26, 1789, but it didn’t catch on as a November holiday right away.
Leaks Supreme
The New York Times reported today that back in 2014, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito invited a pair of wealthy donors over for dinner. Leaks were on the menu. Alito gave the wealthy donors a sneak peak at how the majority planned to rule in a major case sitting before the court. The case was Burwell v Hobby Lobby.
Is Trump the first ex-president to run for the White House after losing?
Is it still news if we all know it’s going to happen? Tonight’s headlines read some variant of “Former president Donald Trump running again for the White House.” Which has prompted some of my friends, family, and listeners to ask me: Is Trump the first president to lose reelection and then run again for the White House? The full answer is one of those oddities of history: No. It’s happened four other times, and all four times it was men from New York.

How a school trip to Dubai by SMU students turned into a political Q&A | Commentary | Dallas News
Whatever the tension, it became abundantly clear that this market on the far side of the world was keenly interested in what was happening in Washington, D.C., and in our country in general. The reasons are numerous. Despite being a country of just 9 million residents - a hair larger than New York City's population of 8.4 million - the U.A.E. imports more American goods than any other country in the region.

Daily Times: Johnny Manziel - Column: Heisman not the end of the road for Manziel, Kerrville
“Great,” I said. “Johnny Manziel won the Heisman, and I just got back from writing about it.” Ten minutes later, we were still talking about Johnny Manziel. Or whatever you want to call him. “You just can’t bring up Johnny Manziel and move on,” Winston pointed out. “When someone in Kerrville mentions the name Johnny Manziel, you’re going to stick around and talk for a while.” Manziel’s historic win isn’t just the talk of Kerrville; it’s the talk of the college football world.
Daily Times: Johnny Manziel - Manziel's former high school coach says he's ready for limelight
“With our move to the SEC, we are building a national brand for Texas A&M, and Johnny winning the Heisman certainly accelerates our efforts,” said Jason Cook, A&M’s vice president of marketing and communications. Being the face of a program is a lot of pressure, especially for a just-turned 20, redshirt freshman. For the rest of Manziel’s career, the level of media scrutiny will turn up to 11. Every misstep is a potential headline story on ESPN.

“My emotions really didn’t hit me until after I saw coach (Julius) Scott in the hotel room in New York and when I sat there and watched the videos in the limo later that day,” Manziel said. “Seeing the videos that came out from places around town like Wing King ...

Daily Times: Johnny Manziel - Kerrville fans take Johnny Manziel support to New York
Family, friends and fans of Manziel from his Tivy days have made the 1,588 mile trip to the Big Apple for the chance to see him shock the world once again — this time by becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, college football’s most prestigious award. In the words of Manziel family-friend Jan Lynch, “It’s been an amazing ride.” Mark Keller and Wally Reed, a pair of play-by-play announcers for KRVL 94.3 Rev-FM, have watched Manziel since he first stepped foot in Antler Stadium.
Daily Times: Johnny Manziel - Column: Year one done, what will year two hold for Manziel?
The final AP poll, released Tuesday, pegged Manziel’s Aggies at No. 5 in the nation — the school’s highest finish since 1956 when legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant roamed the sidelines. Teams that finish top five tend to start the next season top five, giving plenty of reason to think Manziel could add a “Home of national title winner...” banner below Kerrville’s “Home of Heisman winner...” sign, but other news came out Tuesday to put a slight damper on those hopes.
Daily Times: Johnny Manziel - Manziel makes cover of Dave Campbell’s
“In the winter edition, we like to put the biggest story in the state of Texas from the past year on the cover,” Tepper said. “You can’t argue there was close to as big a story as what Manziel did for the Aggies. It was a slam dunk choice to put Johnny on the cover.” Tepper, managing editor Travis Stewart and executive director Adam Hochfelder made the cover decision shortly after Manziel led Texas A&M to an upset victory of then-No.1 Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Nov. 10.
Daily Times: Johnny Manziel - Defending "Johnny Football"
In both of Manziel’s outstanding lawsuits, the defendants are accused of trademark infringement under the Lanham Act, Texas unfair competition, including right of publicity, palming off and misappropriation. The Manziel family has yet to be officially granted a trademark for “Johnny Football,” but paperwork was filed on The Feb. 15 suit lists Eric Vaughan, a man who was selling “Keep Calm and Johnny Football” T-shirts, as its defendant.
Daily Times: Johnny Manziel - Jubilation in Kerrville as fans cheer Johnny Manziel
Manziel was cool and collected on screen, but his supporters at home were anything but. Butterflies fluttering, Tivy fans who watched Manziel work his magic on the field of Antler Stadium just two years ago nervously tittered amongst themselves, making the case for why they dared to believe Manziel could shock them again by becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman. “It’s exciting that somebody from Kerrville is a Heisman finalist,” said 28-year-old John McClellan.
Daily Times: Johnny Manziel - While NCAA rules prohibit Manziel from profiting from his own success, it can’t stop others
Yet, the fortune will have to wait. NCAA rules prohibit players from profiting from collegiate play, and they attempt to discourage others from profiting as well. But when a college athlete is as famous as Johnny Manziel — when children in Kerrville and across the south are demanding a Johnny Football T-shirt under their Christmas tree — the dilemma becomes far more gray than black and white.
Daily Times: Johnny Manziel - Manziel reflects on lessons learned about turning the spotlight into a gift for others
“It went from one day, you’re just a normal guy, and the next day, your life changes forever,” Manziel said. “It’s hard to adapt to that in one month, two months, three months. It takes time. It was stressful.” Sure, there was the controversy of the 20-year-old’s initial celebration. Widely publicized, the partying and VIP treatment brought a whiplash of scrutiny, but that was just a flash in the pan. The real problem is Manziel was just being too nice to everyone.
