What are your thoughts of Kash Patel being nominated to be the head of the ATF in addition to the FBI? Is that possible? Would the Senate go for this?
I am asking because from the video below by Jared @ Guns and Gadgets, it seems that it was leaked that Trump will officially nominate Kash Patel shortly.
Crick's Picks: NCAAB, NBA, & NHL - 2/22/25
We're BACK AT IT Folks!! It's been a few days since I posted my picks, due to the fact there wasn't a whole lot of action goin on around the Sports Universe for the last week... Well, let me rephrase that... There was a lot goin on, with All Star Breaks & the 4 Nations Tourney in Hockey, but even with College Hoops still rollin along... The betting options were limited to say the least!! However, Today... WE'RE BACK BABY, as we have a MASSIVE SLATE across all sports & I've got a MONSTER CARD!! My results will be posted below, and I'll include the 4 Nations Results, but they won't be factored into our overall numbers for NCCAB, NBA, & NHL because I want to keep all that separate since they weren't "Actual NHL Games"... Let's see if we can get this thing CRANKED BACK UP THE RIGHT WAY!! You & Your Beautiful Families STAY SAFE Out There!!! Good Luck, Good Gamblin, & Go Vols!!!!
