Or are the buses racist because they are too tall? Or maybe the buses and bridges are conspiring together? Or maybe there are alternative routes to the beach? The possibilities are endless. A national debate on bridge height and standards may be needed. This is obviously the most pressing issue of our time. Good job Pete and don't worry about that little port back up issue. Maybe take a couple more months off. I rest easy knowing we have such capable and talented officials handling the federal agencies.

Lying only works when people believe you're telling the truth. The MSM's message is intended for the liberal base. Not for an audience like you and I that know they're full of crap. Their core audience has so much politically and emotionally invested in the narratives they push that its impossible for either the viewer or the media to admit they're invested in a series of lies and deceptions. What these self-absorbed liars can't comprehend is at this point they come off as comical. Who needs to stay up late for a good laugh from Saturday Night Live or some late show comic when you can just watch the Evening Network News and laugh yourself into a coma. Like, the border is secure! Hysterically funny. And Brandon is the greatest President ever. And the Moon is made of cheese!

Expecting Pete to solve the supply chain crisis is like expecting a Chicken to perform brain surgery. The difference is the Chicken won't solve the problem but will peck away and at least give it a try. By putting incompetent and useless people in charge this administration is simply f'ing up everything on purpose. The expectation that the idiots that voted for this clown will suffer the most gives me some comfort.

The trick is to hydrate early and you won't cramp up during the game.

The fundamental points of contention is that mandates are not laws. An administrative decision is not a law. A decree by a Mayor is not law. There is no emergency decree or law to revoke the Constitution or the Bill of Rights and the freedoms granted to the individual under those documents. Administrators, mayors, governors, and even the President are not allowed by the system to dictate law without legislative action or oversight from the judicial branch. That's why the end around to invoke some workplace standard for safety through OSHA. But OSHA specifically protects workers from workplace dangers. Not from some unquantified and nebulous threat from other workers. So what's the objectively measured threat? There's a chance I might get sick from you? What kind of chance? 1%, 10%, 100%. Let the administration present their facts in court and lets see what the threat is and let them make their case.

The line up of Dawkins, Feliciano, Morse, Williams, & Brown was at least functional. Losing Feliciano and Brown hurt. Ford is flat-out bad. Must be somebody better sitting out there on one of the other 31 practice squads. But given the context of a 3 point game getting your QB consistently hit while calling 47+ pass plays, in a 3 point game where your "D" surrenders just 3 FG's, vs. 9 touches for your RBs isn't a sound strategy. Giving up way too early on the run. Its almost like Daboll is letting his ego dictate the game plan in order to prove he's going to make it work. And will stick to it until it does. Way too predictable and maybe its time to drop the genius tag and call a more balanced game. The offense didn't need to be dominant or great yesterday, only average to beat the Jags. But for me it looks like they're swinging for the fences all the time instead of playing and calling a more situational game

He also needs to explain the thought process behind declining a 10 yard holding penalty on a 3rd and 5 which resulted in the Jags attempting and making a 55 yard FG to tie at 6-6. Was he afraid the defense would give up 15 yards on the subsequent 3rd down if he accepted it? At this time I said that I wouldn't be surprised if that 3 points in the difference in the game.

A while back on one thread or another I joked about getting your 9th booster was going to be necessary to keep your "fully vaccinated" status and sadly it looks like the direction we're being herded towards. But I think before that happens the majority is going to reach a different conclusion and refuse to go along while voting out the political establishment that is imposing this policy. I got my 2-shots with the second in late May 2021 but I'm not entertaining the idea of getting a 3rd shot booster or endless boosters forever. Viral mutations over time tend to be less lethal and there's no evidence to date that COVID-19 is any different. And the Merck treatment recently announced which has showed very good results in trials to date could be a game-changer treatment assuming safety and efficacy are significant. The initial data suggests this is true. And other treatments will be coming too. This will give doctors more options in deciding what approach is best for each patient and eliminate the need for the current one size fits all approach. This is going to require a modification to the current protocols which I suggest will be to effectively treat cases when they appear and vaccinate those most at-risk. But pushing endless booster forever? That's going away. To update Regeneron made a significant treatment announcement this morning. The religious like belief that vaccination is the only option is going to be severely tested.

I hesitate to call it fraud or intentional deception. But I think the debate can be resolved by breaking out the death stats into 2 categories. It comes down to the method that cause of death is assigned to these cases. Like the example I used where a person has contracted COVID but they are overweight, have diabetes, and high blood pressure. One argument is the cause of death is COVID because absent that the person might still be alive but you could also argue if they weren't overweight and diabetic they would have survived COVID so the cause of death is obesity. You can make a sound argument for either. That's why I think the purest way to look at it is the death count "with COVID" where co-morbidities or pre-existing conditions are present or "by COVID" when no co-morbidities or pre-existing conditions exist. Population cohorts show the majority of deaths are "with COVID".

As somebody that works professionally in health care analytics, commercial and clinical, spent 12 years in claim processing, payment processing systems, provider contracting, and member benefits business functions, and has personal experience with medical charges and coding I have a very informed perspective. I don't have any need to refer to trusted or un-trusted news sources. Its all firsthand. In fact much of the data we accumulate is provided via contracts to the CDC. What they know I know first. All I can say is you'd be surprised what they try to get away with when it comes to charges. Just last year a hospital made the "mistake" of billing my wife's hospitalization charges again using me as the patient. I guess they weren't satisfied with the $200K insurance payment and wanted more. A mistake? Sure, a mistake 3 times. Two of them got rejected but one was processed for a total of $626.248. When I called the insurance to bring it to their attention they reversed it. The also made the mistake of billing another $111K in outpatient charges to her. Which got rejected because of a lack of documentation plus no referrals or authorizations for outpatient services per the member plan. So fraud? Or just a mistake? There's a fundamental difference between "with COVID" and "by COVID" But you're guess is as good as mine. Maybe because they're already sick and the virus is just speeding up the process and pulling forward deaths of low life expectancy patients that would have otherwise occurred sooner rather than later in future time reporting periods. "With covid". So you've got somebody with COVID, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and they die. What's the cause of death? Well its obviously COVID I assumed based on what medical examiners are doing. It seems reasonable to expect that rarely do healthy people die unless by accidental death and rarely do healthy people die just "from COVID". The stats and the science support these conclusions.

Mistakes do happen. No system is perfect. But with COVID hospitals and providers have a financial incentive to skew their diagnosis coding towards COVID. So what do you expect them to do? If you've had any experience with hospitalization expenses for yourself or a family member that you have financial responsibility for handling you'll understand the US health care system is a racket driven by the pursuit of maximum revenue and charges. While the doctors and nurses do wonderful work with patients and treating the sick I can assure you their administrators and billing departments will have no pity or empathy for you.

There is a distinction between "death with COVID" vs. "death by COVID" missing from the discussion when it comes to death statistics and causes. Right now a guy with a positive COVID test riding a motorcycle that's killed crashing into the back of a semi is counted as a COVID death.

It was a lot closer than anyone would have expected. On any do-over I suspect Biden would not carry New Jersey by 16% given all the problems his administration has created.

It was a 19% gap in Murphy's favor a few months ago. The message is clear that as time passes voters at all levels are increasingly growing dissatisfied with the Democrats and their agenda. Mandates and threats to fire people aren't helping. But I doubt they listen. More likely they'll double down here. If the trend continues it will be a bloodbath in November 2022. The problem is the Republicans don't have any clear vision of things going forward other than opposing the fringe left agenda.

The designation of "special counsel" provides more autonomy and control than an investigation conducted directly through the AG's office. Which makes it more difficult, but not impossible, for politicians to hinder the legal process.

I'm confused. So he lied to the FBI which received the Steele dossier from the Clinton campaign knowing its contents were fraudulent but went ahead anyway and submitted it to the FISA court to get surveillance warrants on the Trump campaign under false pretense? That same FBI that said Danchenko lied to them. So when do Steele, the Clinton campaign people, and all the FBI guys that lied get arrested?

So will Brandon turn out to be the least popular baby name for 2021 and 2022?

Mr. Gore ignores the Elephant in the room (if there are any Elephants left alive as poachers killed almost all the Elephants in Africa to accommodate Chinese market demand) while focusing on some insignificant incremental source of emissions. In 2019 (pre-pandemic) China produced 27% of net greenhouse gas emissions vs. the U.S. 11%. Is every former Democratic administration elected and non-elected official on China's payroll? Any Chinese agents or assets on here care to refute this?

At work we have a slogan to deal with distractions and focus. BE HERE NOW.

I think people are just tired of the left trying to force the preposterous notions and ideas they believe on everyone. Like there are more than two genders (show me the science on this one) or a man simply by believing he's a woman makes him a women (again science) or that all white people are racists (except the woke confessors) or all minorities are oppressed. My basic view is you can believe all the ridiculous things you want. But don't expect me to believe them and certainly don't try and force or coerce me into believing them. The push back came as a result of these zealots moved from believing to trying to forcing others to believe. That's when the majority said I've had enough.

Invasion is unnecessary. Air drop a couple hundred thousand cases of those big cans of Fosters on major population centers which will overwhelm government security forces, bring heavy drinkers into the streets, and along with drunken police and security everybody will soon be playing rugby and having a good time again rather than enforcing or protesting against government edicts.

If I get it right you're making the argument for what some refer to as "productive activity". But why do anything productive which requires a time commitment to work when you can get foreigners to make everything for you and all you have to do is give them is paper IOU's in return for real stuff. You can allocate all your time to leisure activities like playing video games, staring at your iPhone all day, or maybe sleeping in late. And let the people in other countries get up at 5 AM and trudge into work. How dumb are they? Everybody wins, right? Corporations make bigger profits while off-shoring jobs Americans apparently don't want, foreigners get jobs that produce wages for themselves, and American citizens can sit around and commit themselves to full-time leisure activities. And with nothing to do with all those dollars foreign central banks buy US treasuries to send all that "free" money back to America to fund more government spending. Its a perfect system. And we wonder why huge "caravans" of immigrants and asylum seekers are herding into the U.S. They'd be crazy to stay at home and work when they can join the leisure class of America. Add to this the generous compensation for doing nothing package that U.S. Federal, State, and local governments have put together on top of all that and its a condition that can only be described as euphoria. Even more free money and stuff for doing nothing productive. But what just might happen when all this free money that isn't "earned" by producing any additional goods and services in the economy get spent. The amount of stuff you can buy doesn't grow. So you're bidding for what is available. So there might be shortages or price increases as buyers are willing to spend more of what they have, but don't earn, on what they want to buy. I think that's called inflation. The fun part, which we haven't reached yet, is when those foreign suppliers that are so stupid they actually work at jobs to earn money to live on decide they don't want to send any more stuff to you either because they want it themselves or because they don't want or need any more IOU's from you because there's nothing they can redeem them for except financial assets or real estate that are already way-overpriced. When there's nothing to buy with all that free leisure time bankrolled by the taxpayers what will we do? If I had to guess I expect the fun part of it all is ending right about now and it will be obvious to all of us within the next 3 to 6 months.

For these WP dirt bags nothing is more important than to protect their precious Dr. Mengele from any criticisms over needless animal experiments and torture. May they rot in Hell.

Agreed. Its an ideological form letter. Dear <your_name>: You suck.

This is comical.
