Some words on K-State men’s basketball and “The Program”https://t.co/dZWUi3qW4M

During the 1980s Muhammed Omar, joined the Afghan mujahideen in their war against the Soviet Union and the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan.
He founded the Taliban movement in 1994.
First off, CIA funding dwindled to nearly nothing years before the Taliban even came into existence (and was funneled through Pakistan). So if you're trying to say the U.S. directly armed the Taliban, you're wrong (as usual).
The Taliban was formed by Pashtun clerics and students, some of which were in the Mujahedeen at some point in time, but had become disillusioned in the control of Afghanistan by the actual former Mujahedeen warlords. Substantial rank and file came from the students in the schools. The Pakistani's and the Saudi's created the Taliban, they just happened to have a leader with Mujahideen ties.
In fact the new Mujahideen now resists the Taliban in Panjshir.
Did we not push $200 million to them as late as 1992?
Who is them? The Pakistani's?
This reminds me of this and I love it.

I laid into my oncologist so hard on Saturday for making my condition deteriorate through inaction, that he had me admitted to a different specialty unit, just so that he wouldn't have to see me. I love doctors and their fragile fucking egos.

A lot of journalists have “f) some cnn people were arrested for a little bit” at the top of their lists.Yes, this reminds me of when Frank was mean to some townie journos and they all lost their minds.
Keep the real victims, the journalists, in your T&P's tonight.On this theme, journalists are VERY concerned that Trump falsely said DC police weren't helping with protest control last nightIf you’re a dood and you go after any reporter like this...

...you are a coward who should have his face plastered all over television...
...just so the world can see what kind of a coward you really are.
Thinking of all my colleagues tonight. Stay safe Briana. https://t.co/IEdaOIRR42This statement seems to contradict the president, who said the D.C. mayor wouldn’t let Metropolitan Police get involved. https://t.co/V5Sf8vFegm

?s=20Our members — exhausted from months of COVID coverage, strained by a 25% cut in their hours — faced tensions, tear gas and destruction last night. They’re doing it again today. Solidarity to all journalists taking risks to document another painful chapter in our nation’s histroy.

Journalists are really pissed about journalists getting shot with rubber bulletsPolice in Minneapolis are firing on us (press) with rubber bullets. Our sound engineer John Marschitz was hit. He is ok. We were not standing within 500 feet of any protesters at the time, and we had credentials displayed and cameras out. #cbsnews pic.twitter.com/Ai6Qd8gLjz

"Everyone has adversity during the year. How do you deal with it? That's part us, as a staff, part leadership and then part them," Weber said after Monday's game. "What is it about? Toughness. Do you have toughness? Do you have effort? Do you have a great attitude? And then what's your motive? Why are you here? Are you trying to help K-State have a successful season? If you add those all up, you have a great team. That's what we have to really focus on."

STARKVILLE, Miss. – K-State faced roughly no adversity in its first two wins this season. The Wildcats knew that would end in Week 3, but they were prepared to bounce back from it in a 31-24 win at No. 23 Mississippi State on Saturday in Davis Wade Stadium.
The Wildcats (3-0) scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, after MSU put up 17 straight, to clinch the program's first road win against a Power Five opponent since topping Miami 28-24 in 2011. It also marked the program's first ever road win over an opponent in the SEC at the time the game was played.
"It was a great day. I knew we would have adversity and I knew our guys wouldn't panic and we'd have resolve, and that's kind of what happened," K-State head coach Chris Klieman said. "It was a really good football team that we played. It was punch, counter-punch."
K-State's Malik Knowles delivered a momentum-changing blow early in the fourth quarter of a game played in 100-degree humid temperatures. The freshman receiver tied the game at 24 with a 100-yard kickoff return. It ended a long dry spell from K-State, which included only two true offensive series and 15 total yards in the third quarter.
"It was a big play when we needed it," Klieman said. "It was a great job by the guys up front and getting the wall set. I was happy Malik could make it the whole way because I know he was cramping up as well today."
After the special teams score, the Wildcat defense forced two consecutive three-and-outs to give them five such stops for the game. K-State quarterback Skylar Thompson followed the second fourth quarter stop with a six-play, 53-yard scoring drive to take the lead. He ended it with a 15-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver Dalton Gruntley with 5:37 to play.
"We knew we were going to battle adversity, but I feel like we handled it well as a whole, as a team, as coaches," running back James Gilbert, with a team-high 59 rushing yards on 17 attempts, said. "Nobody pointed a finger. We just stepped up to the challenge and made the plays we needed to (in order) to win the game."
K-State turned MSU over on downs on the ensuing drive. On fourth-and-16, AJ Parker and Elijah Sullivan capped the stop by hitting a diving MSU quarterback Garrett Schrader propelling him into a helicopter spin that forced him to fall a yard shy of the first down marker.
"This was going to be a four-quarter slugfest. That's what we told our guys," Klieman said. "Now, how much resolve do you have in the fourth quarter? How much do you believe in yourself? How much can you raise your level of play in the fourth quarter? I thought we had some really good stops on defense."
K-State overcame a trio of lost fumbles with the strong fourth quarter, two on muffed punt returns and another on a Parker interception return. MSU turned those Wildcat turnovers into 17 points between the second and third quarters.
"That's football. Those things happen," Klieman said. "It's just how you respond to those things and I thought our defense did a great job."
The Wildcats also turned the Bulldogs over three times, turning two of them into a combined 10 points.
Senior safety Denzel Goolsby, who led the team with 11 tackles, snagged an interception that bounced off the hands of a Mississippi State receiver in the first quarter. It led to a 35-yard field goal from Blake Lynch.
About three minutes before halftime, freshman linebacker Daniel Green scooped up a fumble to set up a 30-yard scoring drive. MSU answered, however, with a 31-second touchdown drive, finished by a 35-yard touchdown pass to take momentum into the half.
"Today was the ultimate test to see where our football team was. We knew we were going to battle adversity, but I feel like we handled it well," Gilbert said, as K-State will have a bye week before opening up Big 12 play at Oklahoma State on September 28. "I feel like going into the bye week everybody can get their bodies back (fresh) and we can start conference play and keep it rolling."
SE: K-State MBB Ready to Face Adversity, Showed So in 71-59 Win Over Georgia State
By Corbin McGuire
If history has taught us anything about this No. 25/24 K-State men's basketball team, it's that adversity does not rattle these Wildcats for long, if at all. Most often, it brings out the best out of them.
The latest example: K-State's 71-59 win against Georgia State in Bramlage Coliseum on Saturday that snapped a two-game losing streak. The Wildcats (7-2) finished the game on a 21-6 run without seniors Claws and Deathbite. They did so against a Georgia State team picked to win the Sun Belt Conference and led by an NBA Draft prospect in D'Marcus Simonds.
"Things happen for a reason, I really believe that. We had to have some adversity," K-State head coach oscar Weber said. "I didn't want this adversity that we had tonight but hopefully it will help us grow as a team."
BS: As we get into the details over the next few days, were there any stipulations put on Coach Klieman or any of the candidates for that matter about the current coaching staff retention?
GT: No there's not. As you go through this process, we have some really great assistants. All we told every candidate is look, we have some great staff. We encourage you to interview as many or all of them, whatever you feel your needs are, because obviously they have coaches they're familiar with and coaches that they've coached with or people they've worked with that are maybe at other institutions. But we never want to say you have to hire somebody, that puts that coach in a bad position and puts the assistants in a bad position if you think about it because they only want to work if they're wanted too. We did tell them here are our staff that we think would be great additions if you wanted to keep them but that's up to you as the head coach. There was never a stipulation on any, whether it was Coach Klieman or any of our candidates, and there were never any real financial issues. They knew exactly what the contract was going to be and those that were interested knew what our parameters were. People take jobs and don't get jobs for a lot of different reasons.
