All_Pro_Bills

All true as I eagerly wait on what our new governor will do on issues like affordability, sky high property taxes, and the electricity rate problem. I'm not sure about the last one as my utility bill has been about as low as it ever was the last few months.

These guys are allies of self-interest. If the Dems regain power they'll swing back in the other direction

I'm reading notes from today's session and questions from the justices as skepticism over the administration's assertions that the executive branch has the power to impose tariffs under the circumstances they claim exist. Those circumstances being some extreme threat or emergency that requires presidential action (my words). If I had to guess they're going to rule against the President here, 5-4, 6-3, something like that. I read elsewhere that if Trump loses the back-up plan is to invoke some action based on the Trade Act of 1974-Section 122. I don't know a thing about this Act.

You are the spinner here my friend. The Biden era passed subsidies for coverage premiums expire on 12/31/25. You can't lose something in 2026 that you never had.

If that were true then all the super wealthy Democrat donors would be supporting Trump which isn't the case. And I reject any arguments of altruism in reference to said billionaires.

If that were true neither major party would win an election.

The Jets won and are in offical "tank" mode for the overall 1. Seattle got our WR for a price we could have afforded. Jerry Jones should fire himself this morning. They are not making the playoffs. He's just pretended to do something for optics and pissed away prime picks for what I'm guesing is at best a 7-9-1 record. The Jets moves stocked the team with picks. It looks like ownership and Glenn went into 2025 as a season to assess the team and make whatever changes needed. The Bills doing nothing was a disappointment but maybe the Patriots where an even bigger disappointment? 60 million in cap space and a QB on a rookie deal and no extra help. When and if they hit a slump or a rash of injuries it will bite them in the backside. They could have made things tougher on the Bills by making a few additions and are going to regret it at the end of the season.

My idea of what to do with Hairston was something I posted during draft time. After using the 1 on Hairston I wanted Beane to use those two 2nd rounders on the best corner and DL or WR on the board. Move Johnson to safety to team with what is now Bishop, put the 1 and 2 2025 draft corners out there with Bedford when the go nickel. But Beane traded those picks to Chicago to move up for Sanders now on IR. And then he uses some day 3 picks on a couple corners when doing it my way would have let him do purely BPA or swing at a few WR picks round 3 thru 7.

At some point Bills management needs to act with a sense of urgency because if they keep wasting season after season of Josh Allen's career on settling for Division round and AFC championship appearances there won't be a future.

I'm guessing the Bills were never that seriously involved in any of these WR trade talks. And maybe that's because the brain trust doesn't see scoring points as major issue. The big lesson coming from the Chiefs game was how critical an effective pass rush is for this team's defense which looks bad on the back end without it. If they do anything it will be defensive line. Hoping for a splash like Hendrickson but the cap is going to be an issue.

We know all the Democrat policies are designed to encourage dependency so maybe do the opposite?

Westinghouse is owned by a joint venture of Brookfield Asset Management and uranium producer Cameco. Both Canadian entities. Work will not start until 2030. Per the Washington Post - The partnership is designed with “profit sharing mechanisms” that provide U.S. taxpayers returns “once certain thresholds are met,” according to the announcement. Under the agreement, after the U.S. government signs final contracts for the construction of at least $80 billion in Westinghouse reactors, it would be entitled to receive 20 percent of Westinghouse returns in excess of $17.5 billion. The U.S. could also require Westinghouse to go public if the company’s valuation surpasses $30 billion. If it does go public, U.S. taxpayers would be entitled to a 20 percent equity stake in the company, according details released by Brookfield" Its common in the resource sector, uranium is one product, to use royalty arrangements for cash up front to be paid thought future income streams. I assume somebody familiar with those arrangements advised the government. I don't see anything wrong with this type of arrangement.

Should have kept quiet for sure. But just watching games as a fan you can pick up tells with thing like some teams and players if it's a run or pass by how the tackles line up. If they're close up to the LOS it's a run or a step back it's a pass.

It's not a case of listening or not. It's a case where "the process" has been in place for 8 to 9 years and in its current form some believe it might not be capable of producing the objective to reach and win the SB. So some adjustments to the process and culture might be a good idea. I'm not saying to stretch it to the point of Wilkins because he sounds like a nut job.

Going forward without him, I hope the intensity and effort I saw Hoecht play with will resonate with the other members of the Bills defense. Adding to it I think we saw that trait and an I get it now moment happen with Bishop at Safety during yesterday and I've already got the impression we're going to see it with Hairston too.

Wonder about your plan because in general colonoscopy examinations fall under "preventative care" which my health plan covers In Network at zero cost and i understand other commercial insurance plans also cover. This as part of the ACA legislation. Not sure what your exact plan is but here's the ACA list. https://www.healthcare.gov/preventive-care-adults/

There is no winning solution. Spend and borrow more or impose consequences on people utilizing the program. Reality is these programs as part of the federal budget are funded by tax receipts and an ever increasing share that's funded from borrowing. We all know it's mathematically unsustainable. And at some point the wheels fall off the bus. But every time there's a standoff the decision is to cave in and defer the consequences by pushing them off into the future.

I personally don't think its a good idea at the moment and if something happens I expect we'll hear a lot of protestations and some demonstrations about the action which eventually will result in nothing. As a subplot to the war on drugs it seems that Mexico and Columbia are higher up on the food chain than Venezuela but given the US has closer relations to the two there are more political complications to acting against those nations.

That would require Congress to actually convene and do something.

Rumors are swilling in the oil markets this morning about an imminent attack by US forces against military targets in Venezuela. But crude prices have barely moved up less than $1. "The planned attacks against Venezuelan military installations are being reported in The Miami Herald and The Wall Street Journal, both which describe the impending assault as imminent." https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/venezuela/article312722642.html

Hey, if some other country allowed me to come in illegally without suffering any consequences and then offered me a taxpayer funded lifestyle that was comparable to a life of luxury in my home country I'd do it too. The root of the problem isn't the illegals. Its the "using other people's money" to fund my personal and political ambitions politicians, government funded NGO;s, and officials facilitating the influx of people. Its just a guess but if all the freebies and subsidies were eliminated might the problem solve itself?

The original ACA was crafted for Obama by a former corporate official from Humana. But if you've ever gotten a bill for a hospital stay or paid for nursing home care for an elderly family member you'll know the definition of greedy.

Given such a confession, herasy against the climate change cult, can he either admit his understanding of the science was incorrect or he was lying? And if lying to what end?

Expect Mamdani to win but ultimately over-promise and under-deliver. Its unlikely his plan will raise enough revenue or get State legislature cooperation. Then he'll blame Trump.

Obama"s goal with the ACA was always to drive up health care costs to facilitate the adoption of a single payer system. Rising costs isn't a bug it's a feature.
