Howdy! Happy Wednesday from the Blue Raven Brewery in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Why am I here? I do not know. But their Lil’ Logger Lager is fantastic.
I also just overheard a lady say that Abdul El-Sayed calling JD Vance “habibi” made her “ovaries explode.”
That’s the kind of parachute journalism you don’t get from the New York Times.
The blue wave, folks. It’s real.
Last week, I wrote about how the names of two LLCs started in Utah were curiously identical to the names the University of Utah announced for its investment venture with Otro Capital.
The first LLC was incorporated the very same day the school approved the partnership. But there was a disconcerting detail. That LLC, along with a later one, was registered by the son of a former Utah basketball coach, who happened to have served two different federal prison sentences for fraud.
Huh.
After noticing that, I emailed the school to ask about it.
And I want to walk you through the exchange I had, because it can only mean two things: Either there is something unusual going on here, or Utah Leeroy Jenkinsed its way through a $100 million funding round.
