Kind of the yin and yang of things. If there is no failure, there is no success. You just end up with a murky blob of mediocre at best. Without success and failure we might still be chasing lightning strikes to collect hot embers in order to start a campfire.

Trump Plans to Place Warning Signs Outside Smithsonian Accusing Museum of Biased View of U.S. History: Report
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s letter says visitors should be given additional context about the museum’s exhibits about the nation’s past
The Trump administration is moving forward with plans to place temporary warning signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, adding a new chapter to the White House’s dispute with the institution over how American history should be portrayed.
The National Park Service is expected to install roughly a dozen signs outside the museum at an estimated cost of about $84,000, according to a Sept. 3 letter from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to Sen. Jeff Merkley, obtained by The Atlantic.
The project follows President Donald Trump’s July executive order directing the administration to install temporary signage and exhibits connected to the museum.
In another letter to Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Burgum addressed questions surrounding Trump’s March 2025 executive order, titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.”
The order accused a nationwide “revisionist movement” of portraying the United States’ founding principles and major historical achievements in a negative way, arguing that such efforts diminish the country’s accomplishments, according to The New York Times.
The signs have not been finalized, and their exact wording remains unclear, the Times reported.
Burgum’s letter offers a preview of the administration’s intended approach. It says visitors should receive additional information about the exhibits before entering the museum, including context about the perspectives of Smithsonian officials and curators.
The administration has repeatedly accused the museum of presenting American history through an ideological lens. A White House report released earlier this year made similar allegations, arguing that certain exhibits and educational materials reflect political viewpoints rather than what the administration considers a straightforward account of the nation’s history.
The Smithsonian, for its part, has defended its approach as grounded in scholarship, accuracy and nonpartisanship.
National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig has told lawmakers that the museum does not take sides in contemporary political debates and instead seeks to preserve evidence of American life so visitors can form their own conclusions.
Burgum’s letter specifically highlights statements made by Hartig and former Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch. It also references museum exhibits and educational materials dealing with subjects including race, immigration and transgender Americans.
The administration’s criticism comes as Trump and his allies have pushed for broader changes across the Smithsonian.
If the plans proceed, visitors approaching the National Museum of American History could soon encounter government-funded signs offering a critical perspective on the museum before entering.
Haslam is the leader of the organization because he owns the Browns.
Everything begins with him. So questions of leadership start there.
Berry was hired to build the roster. His responsibilities include building the staff to assist in building the roster which includes scouting and evaluation. He also is in charge of negotiating player contracts and managing the cap.
His success or failure does not have much to do with charisma. His job is not public speaking or leading a team.
His job is finding good players in the draft and free agency. And managing the salary cap and contracts.
Judging Berry starts with the roster. Personal charisma is not involved in player evaluation.
Manage the cap so you can sign free agents for positional needs. Evaluate the players entering the draft. Then position the team as best as possible to draft the players that have been identified to improve the roster.
Berry's success or failure is based upon the players on the team and the head coach he hired (or, Haslam hired).
We’re talking about leadership and building a winning culture.
It starts with Haslam—that’s spot on. And the person within the organization who ultimately gives the orders and hires the coaches and players is the GM. That’s spot on, too.
But the person who sets the tone is the top dog in the building. Haslam may be the Holy Ghost hovering somewhere above Berea, but the flesh-and-blood person issuing the orders is Andrew freaking Berry.
Who establishes the standards inside Berea?
Who makes sure the players and coaches live up to those standards?
Who holds people in the building accountable?
Remember Shedeur Sanders’ speeding incidents and how the GM handled them, then compare that with the response when Watson got his speeding ticket. That’s called a double standard—and double standards set the tone just as clearly as any inspirational slogan hanging on a wall.
I’m not disputing your overall view, because you’re right. I’m simply adding a few more elements to what it means to be the so-called leader of an organization.
Here’s the thing:
Winners attract winners. Discipline grows out of discipline. Standards are defined far more by what you do than by what you say.
Mental toughness and a never-say-die attitude are states of mind. People who possess those qualities recognize them when they see them. Those who don’t often have no idea what they should even be looking for—which might explain quite a lot about the Browns’ talent-evaluation process.
I’m adding this because it captures attitude, courage, and leadership.
Forget for a moment that the quarterback is Baker Mayfield, along with all his flaws, and focus instead on his energy, attitude, and positive mindset.
That’s the team I fell in love with: Jarvis walking around with that unmistakable swagger, Baker carrying himself like a veteran despite it being his first game, Higgins with that huge smile, and Chubb displaying his quiet toughness.
The culture was already alive within that team and embodied by those players. When they left, part of that winning culture left with them.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused what he called a "hostile" and "political" Federal Reserve board of raising interest rates.
Sparing Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh from criticism Wednesday evening, Trump told reporters, "I'm relying on Kevin, but he has got a very tough board." All 12 voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), including Warsh, voted in favor of the rate hike.
"The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long," Warsh said at a press conference after the FOMC meeting. "The Committee's unanimous vote shows our resolve to achieve price stability on a timelier basis."
He added that achieving stable prices has been a challenge for more than five and a half years.
Trump claimed that the FOMC raised interest rates to hurt him politically. "They're raising that only for political reasons, and that's a raise against Trump. They are raising the rates to make Trump do as bad as he can possibly do."
Inflation has been a major concern for consumers ahead of the November midterm election.
The Fed on Wednesday raised its target federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75 percent to 4 percent to address persistent inflation, marking its first interest rate hike since July 2023.
Following the rate hike announcement, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that interest rates should be 1 percent or less because the United States is the "best credit in the world -- BY FAR."
Prosecutor brought in to lead investigation of Trump foes tells AP that he has resigned his position
WASHINGTON (AP) — An ally of President Donald Trump said Thursday that he has resigned from his post leading a Justice Department investigation into whether former law enforcement and intelligence officials conspired against the Republican president.
The departure of Joe diGenova injects instant tumult into an investigation targeting former government officials who have scrutinized Trump over the last decade, including in connection with Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and his retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
“I did in fact resign,” diGenova told The Associated Press, calling it an “honor and a privilege” to serve Trump and the Justice Department.
Though diGenova declined to comment to the AP on the circumstances of his resignation, a person familiar with the matter who insisted on anonymity to discuss a personnel decision said the departure came amid mounting frustration from the Justice Department and White House over the pace and management of the probe.
In an interview later with The New York Post, diGenova responded to criticism of his management of the investigation by saying, “If you want indictments where there’s no evidence, you have an ethical problem.”
When reached again by the AP, diGenova said the comments were taken out of context, adding: “There’s plenty of evidence in all of these cases to prove the theories of prosecution. It just takes time to get there, and some people want to get there a little faster than others — and you can’t do that.”
The investigation has always been something of a tall order, aiming to present separate and unrelated inquiries of the president as part an anti-Trump conspiracy by law enforcement and intelligence professionals. Though promoted by the White House, and seized on by Trump supporters looking for accountability against what they see as “deep state” intelligence community actors, the conspiracy investigation has proceeded in fits and starts since its inception a year ago.
The 81-year-old diGenova served as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia during the Reagan administration and for years has been a prominent Trump ally, including backing his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and publicly and repeatedly claiming that the president was the victim of an intelligence community conspiracy.
He was brought back to the Justice Department in April and given the reins of the loosely defined investigation.
Five months later, no charges have been brought and it remains unclear whether any will be, or what information has been gathered to support any basis for the idea of a plot against Trump by the government officials who investigated him.
Investigators have sought interviews related to the 2022 FBI search that recovered classified documents from Mar-a-Lago and have also focused intensely on one of Trump’s chief grievances: a U.S. intelligence community assessment that Russia interfered on his behalf in the 2016 presidential election. The assessment has long infuriated the president, along with a Justice Department special counsel investigation into Russian election interference that shadowed him during his first term.
That special counsel investigation identified widespread Russian interference in the election but did not find evidence to prove a criminal conspiracy between Moscow and the Trump campaign. Multiple other government inquiries, including by the Justice Department inspector general, have identified significant errors and omissions in the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia probe but did not find evidence of criminal conduct by senior law enforcement officials.
The yearlong conspiracy investigation has hit stumbles before. Last April, a lead national security prosecutor in the investigation of former CIA Director John Brennan was replaced on the team after raising questions about the strength of the case. Days later, diGenova was sworn in.
Brennan has been investigated on allegations that he lied to Congress about the creation of the intelligence community assessment, which he and his lawyers have vigorously denied. In July, he sued the Justice Department for a court order requiring the preservation of all records from the investigation, forecasting plans to challenge any potential indictment of him on vindictive prosecution grounds.
9/11 goes back to a time where we didn't get instantly alerted to breaking news. I was in college. Had a 2 hour lecture that morning. I didn't know anything had happened until 10:30 when I went down to the lab and saw everyone huddled around a TV.
