I was being sarcastic, but it is sad and unfortunate.

Wasn't sure where to put this one, but I am shocked this came out of the UN...maybe I should be skeptical. https://www.outkick.com/sports/united-nations-panel-upholding-safety-fairness-womens-sports "But so often, our very best will not be good enough — not because we didn't train hard enough, not because we didn't wake up at 6 a.m. for grueling practices — but because we are women, and we simply can't compete against generally bigger, faster and stronger men."

Most fiscally responsible governors.

I guess Biden's accusation that Georgia's "Jim Crow" voting laws would cause voter suppression isn't aging well. 😆

I hire based on who is the best candidate for the opening. I guess I should worry about my job in the deep blue state of Colorado, too.

If the 6k+ voters were non citizens, it was right thing to do and follows the law. If there are citizens among the 6k they should not have been removed. Pretty simple.

"Meanwhile, the network’s Standards and Practices division, led by Claudia Milne, determined that Dokoupil had not followed the preproduction process wherein questions are run through Race and Culture and Standards and Practices." What a joke.

Speaking of Stalions, it looks like he is doing the media circuit. Among his claims: All the signal stealers in the Big Ten know each other and share info at times. PSU, OSU, Indiana, Rutgers and of course himself were the best at it. He tried to indirectly give OSU his signal info on MSU when M needed MSU to get another loss. https://www.si.com/college/michigan/football/connor-stalions-says-he-helped-ohio-state-in-2021

All these reports about FEMA spending money on migrants and Mayorkis saying FEMA is running out of disaster relief funds....now a reporter claims this. https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/mayorkas-says-fema-has-no-more-disaster-funds-ig-report-says-agency-sitting-billions An August 2024 report from Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General noted, "As of October 2022, FEMA estimated that 847 disaster declarations with approximately $73 billion in unliquidated funds remained open." The report also says "$8.3 billion in unliquidated obligations" was "for disasters declared in 2012 or earlier" that analysts say could be returned to help people battling for survival in disasters now. The IG report concurs, saying, "More than $7 billion in unliquidated funds... could potentially be returned to the Disaster Relief Fund." Jeremy Portnoy, at the watchdog group Open the Books, notes that the way FEMA has set it up, the agency has locked in grant money that it must use during and before a "period of performance" deadline. That means the funds are obligated for that time period. I am not sure anyone can pretend to understand when and where our governments spends money. What I do know is that Bush got pummeled for Katrina where there were 1392 fatalities. Helena is at 200+ and 600+ missing, but has nowhere near the coverage. Just 'manufactured' outrage from the right.

Both sides are now using the same bait.

Reporters correct themselves in a few days time? When does that happen anymore? It's the equivalent to front page story falsehoods or omissions followed by page 40 corrections days later after the story is off the radar. At least put the idea out on the front page that sources could not be verified.

Very true. I suspect we will have a 'CFPA' and the "owners". Kids will be under contract.

Good riddance NCAA....
