Penn State’s Necessary Correction
Penn State removed Joe Paterno’s statue, stripped his name from prominent places, and spent years treating its most consequential football coach like a historical embarrassment. Now, the university has opened the Paterno Family Football Experience Room inside Beaver Stadium’s Penn State All-Sports Museum. The permanent exhibit includes Paterno’s original office desk, personal artifacts, and a…

AI is Tax Relief
The artificial-intelligence revolution is bringing trillions of dollars in data-center investment, along with an enormous appetite for American land, electricity, water, roads, and public infrastructure. That appetite gives local leaders something they rarely possess when Big Tech comes knocking: leverage. Loudoun County, Virginia, collected $1.2 billion in data-center property-tax revenue during fiscal year 2026. Oracle…

Campbell’s Honeymoon Slate: Penn State’s 2026 Playoff Path
Matt Campbell could hardly have ordered a cleaner runway for his Penn State debut. The 2026 Nittany Lions avoid Ohio State, Oregon and defending national champion Indiana, draw seven home games and face Marshall, Temple and Buffalo before Big Ten play begins. Michigan remains dangerous. USC arrives for the White Out. Washington demands the season’s…

WWT’s Cabo Blind Spot
World Wide Technology sells itself as a corporate sentinel. Honesty. Integrity. Enterprise risk management. Then the PGA Tour brought WWT to Diamante Cabo San Lucas, and those safeguards disappeared behind an ocean view. The tournament’s website crowns resort founder Ken Jowdy as the “visionary” who personally led Diamante’s financing. It leaves out the litigation, disputed…

Lake America Makes Waves
President Donald Trump has redrawn another corner of the federal map. His August 27 executive order directs the U.S. government to replace “Lake Ontario” with “Lake America,” turning a geographic label into an unmistakable statement about sovereignty, history and national confidence. The order governs American federal usage and cannot dictate what Canada places on its…

Staten Island Mansion Money Fix
Eric Bischoff welcomed Staten Island’s political establishment to the privately owned Kreischer Mansion wearing a Victorian tuxedo while elected officials from both parties celebrated $475,000 in announced or allocated public support. Behind the preservation pitch sits an LLC that owns the property, a newly incorporated nonprofit receiving government money and a related company developing weddings,…

Moira Kim Penza: The Threat, The Fix, and The Fallout
A viral Central Park kiss may cost Nathaniel Cullerton his Wachtell partnership, his planned Gibson Dunn payday and, sources say, his marriage to Moira Kim Penza. But the scandal has also opened a locked door in Penza’s past. Former Loyola School students identify her as the sender of gun-threatening emails that brought police to the…

Regulatory Lawfare Robbed The Janitor
Strategic Financial Solutions was 100% employee-owned when the CFPB and seven Democratic-led state enforcement offices moved under seal, froze its assets, and installed a receiver before the company could answer. SFS says one facilities worker watched a retirement stake worth roughly $500,000 collapse with the business. The government called the case an emergency, but its…

The Hockey Players Revolt
Ken Jowdy surrounded himself with exactly the people who make wealthy investors comfortable: NHL stars, golf royalty, private-aircraft passengers, Davis Love III and eventually Tiger Woods. The formula worked. Diamante became a luxury Cabo institution, El Cardonal became Woods’ first completed course, and the World Wide Technology Championship now stages its PGA Tour event there.…

Loans Ken Jowdy Couldn’t Erase
The federal government sold jurors a clean story: Phillip Kenner secretly diverted Hawaii investor money to Mexico and concealed the theft. Kenner was convicted, sentenced to 17 years and lost his appeal. Those judgments stand. But the surviving documents refuse to stay inside that tidy box. Little Isle IV’s bylaws authorized lending. NHL investors described…
