  3. 3 years. Why WaPo Waited So Long to Publish the Alito Flag Story JAZZ SHAW The media has been trying to gin up a lot of mileage regarding a report from the New York Times about an American flag being flown upside down outside of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's home. Looking further into the details, that wasn't something that happened recently. In fact, the photo of the flag was taken more than three years ago, shortly after the Capitol Hill riots. So how did it take so long for us to hear about it, assuming you're even concerned to begin with? As it turns out, the Washington Post had the photo and the story almost immediately. But as the Associated Press pointed out yesterday, the editors at the Post opted not to run the story. This all sounds like much ado over (almost) nothing, but given all of the current antipathy on the left toward the conservative members of the court, we're probably going to keep hearing about it, so we should dig a bit further into the details. This episode raises questions about how the media has handled this story at various stages and whether or not the underlying incident was really all that big of a deal to begin with. The WaPo claims that they originally examined the story but concluded that "it appeared Alito’s wife was responsible and that it was not clear the neighborhood argument was over politics." But if that was true three years ago, then how did the New York Times determine it was an appropriate story to run now? The Gray Lady is claiming that they only acquired the photo "recently." Does that sound very likely? If someone has what appears to be a potentially hot bit of gossip about a Supreme Court justice and it went to the Post, how would it not also be slipped to the Times? I would argue that both of the papers had the story three years ago, but elected to keep it in their back pockets. But now that we're drawing close to a presidential election where Joe Biden is trailing and trying to warn people about the potential of Donald Trump appointing more justices in the mold of Alito, the MSM probably sees more usefulness in putting the story out there. The AP piles on a bit by posing the question, "Should a public official’s family be held to the same standards as that official themselves?" Whether Alito or his wife hung the flag like that probably doesn't matter all that much. If Alito did hang it himself in sympathy for the January 6 rioters, then he's making up a story now to cover his tracks. If his wife really did hang it, unless he never went out of his front door, he would have seen it. If it bothered him that much he could have taken it down, but apparently he didn't.

  4. Do you search Youtube and X and other media content looking for other GM's? The Texans voided the rest of Diggs contract as a move of appeasement. They added $3.5M of 2025 guaranteed money onto this year's bag o' loot and freed Diggs to look for The Big Bucks elsewhere in free agency. They also converted a lot of his 2024 salary to bonus money so it was paid to him up-front, and amortized it over something like 4 void years - so they'll be paying $5M a year or something like that for Diggs to NOT be here.
  5. I bought a can of that meatball crap a few years ago and after I dumped it out of the can into the kettle and caught a good whiff of it the kettle got dumped directly into the trash can... that's some pretty gross stuff! Meatballs made from beef & chicken? I wonder what parts of the animals they used? By the smell of it I'm guessing their anal cavities.
  6. No matter how it shakes out number of receptions-wise, Houston looks scary...
  7. as much as i love peanut butter, leave the combination to Reeses. Also to answer your question more specifically, red peanut m&ms are the best flavor by a mile
  8. Same. It can make who's on their draft radar a little easier. Just look for the smart, high character leader types with some versatility.
  9. Brady said... “I think the guys last year — obviously it wasn’t exactly how we wanted, and didn’t end how we wanted it to end. But the guys kind of played together and it’s kind of, hey, in this offense, everyone is going to eat. And they’ve got to have the mindset that it’s not just about one person — no one’s bigger than the offense. But, in order for someone else to have success, I’ve got to do my job so they have success and then vice versa. So that’s the biggest thing that we’re preaching right now.” The biggest thing Brady's preaching is that everyone needs to do their job - even if it's not time for them to eat. In other words, teamwork and high effort on every play. If that's his biggest thing to preach this year, is it because he didn't believe we had that going on last year? That's what I think. As he said, "The guys kind of played together" last season.
  10. a la ****** I had an entire post written and my internet went poof COMMIE PLOT SMH lol I'll try to recreate that sucks though. to the bolded I will be mup the knife if I can rename you scarface "say hello to my leeetle friend mup the knife" lol I think the lines being political parties are more divided than ever before and MANY of those issues are what I see as spiritual battles. I think Donald wants to be the "MAGA" savior of our country and many of his like minded followers honestly see him that way. It REEKS of religious fervor. That's what I meant. And HIS brand of leadership makes me QUEASY because of my distrust By no means do I mean to disparage YOU of all people. You are my beloved chat brother by choice and it is my honor to be your Amiga. I even asked you to hold my hair when the topic gags me. That's a true friend. hasta lasagna senor Scarface. HA m

  12. I know a Super Bowl victory has got the be the best feeling for a true fan. But at the same time, it must sting a tiny bit for having to cheer for these types of s***** people.
  13. What is it with people owning dogs but never caring and spending time with them. I don't own one because I know I couldn't spend the amount of time a dog needs.

  15. You know that I clearly wrote why they were brought in, in the post you're responding to? I stopped reading right there.
  16. It's a huge year for him. He has to prove he is worthy of replacing Douglas next season. As others have said, he needs to replace the "grabbing" with good technique. I'm sure he knows that like everyone else. His progress, or lack of, will be one of the top 5 things to look for in camp.
  17. No one wants quality character players until half your team gets arrested.
  18. Sen. Bob Menendez, Rep. Henry Cuellar, Rep. Cori Bush, Hunter Biden, and former Rep. TJ Cox are all laughing at you. Hard.
