All_Pro_Bills

You mentioned numbers were up but no sure wheres so I highlighted the elevated States..

These are the states with elevated 7 day rolling average case rates per 100K & their 7 day rolling average deaths Michigan - 109.57 cases per 100K, 92.0 deaths 7 day average Minnesota - 92.32, 30.47 Alaska - 81.04, 6 Montana - 70.03, 10, 5.82 North Dakota - 71.24, 6.02 South Dakota - 70.03, 4.36 Colorado - 77.56, 42.77 New Mexico - 70.99, 10.21 Wisconsin - 71.07, 27.92

Would you agree that, vaccinated or not, very rarely is anyone hospitalized (or dies) without some other condition or co-morbidity? Such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, autoimmune deficiencies? And these hospitalizations should be diagnosed and reported as primary diagnosis is "x diagnosis w/COVID" rather than primary diagnosis is "COVID"?

Your 50/50 assumption is simplistic and you have no control group to use as a baseline to validate that assumption. Vaccinated or not, hospitalization rates are 99%+ a function of other factors such as weak immune systems resulting from old age and co-morbidities. There are literally no patients in hospitals that "just" have COVID. Almost all have high risk factors including hospitalized children. Admissions are "with COVID" and rarely is any other health issue absent. Like anything else the general rule is healthy people or young people don't die. All the data on hospitalizations support this but it doesn't get much airplay. I should add, the vaccine does help keep people out of the hospital but that is among those with high risk factors. Otherwise healthy young people naturally have a low/no risk of hospitalization with or without it.

You'll need to repeal sections of the ACA in order to do this as mandatory health insurance is the rule right now. How many votes are do you expect there are in the House and Senate with mid-terms approaching? I'd suggest the idea is DOA when it comes to Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Commercial coverage where insurance is contracted between private business and the government with insurers might get some interest in premium surcharges. I know a little about the topic. I spent 12 years in health insurance supporting claims processing, provider contracts, member coverage and benefits, and I'm currently working in health care analytics services for about 4 years. Along with this some personal experience dealing with high cost hospitalization expenses. How it works is simple. Have you ever seen a dead Deer on the side of the road getting devoured by Vultures. Well you're the Deer and the hospitals and doctors & their billing administrators are the Vultures. That's why I donate some of my time to helping low income people and seniors navigate the billing process so they don't get screwed. And fun fact, people with health insurance make up the largest group of people filing personal bankruptcy. Doctors and Hospitals might get pennies on the dollar. That's not going to pay for those country club memberships and Telsa's in the 3-car garage. Anything that threatens that income stream is going to be vigorously opposed.

Anyone advocating for this doesn't understand how the US health care system operates. For one, it contradicts the rationale for the ACA and mandatory insurance coverage. And hospitals and doctors would never support this. How will they get paid? You might be able to get away with a surcharge like they do with smokers. But if ultimately the idea is to deny citizens (the SJW crowd will likely insist on an exclusion for un-vaccinated illegals) medical services in order to coerce them into getting a vaccine against their will it might involve ethical questions. But then again, maybe we can start to euthanize terminally ill or end of life patients to save you a few bucks on your premiums too? Sneak into grandma's room in the middle of the night and put a pillow over her face then wake up mom and dad to tell them you just saved them $5 a month on their coverage.

Oil prices up around 2.5% near the close of trading today. Ports running 24/7 is a fantasy. For starters, where are 3 times more workers and 3 times more trucks coming from to support this idea? Long term the way to eliminate the problem is to make products domestically and eliminate the port bottleneck and dependency on foreign countries for goods. Time to put the interests of American workers and families and American businesses above the interests of multi-national mega corporations that have only an allegiance to the bottom line. Let's really build back better. Help people that are working for a living instead of the usual freeloader constituencies and big donors. You're party claims to represent the people. Time to demonstrate that claim with something more than more government spending.

Being followed by some unknown person for some unknown reason can be easily interpreted as threatening or a potential danger. Why is this guy following me? I'm not doing anything. What does he want? Is he going to jump me or something? This guy is acting "suspicious". That's likely what Martin was thinking. What was Zimmerman's motive for following Martin? Simply because he thought he looked or acted "suspicious"? Zimmerman was a private citizen, not an officer of the law. He has no legal right to question or detain anyone on a public street that is not actively involved in a crime. To me this is consistent with the scenario with the defendants in Georgia. I remember being followed when driving one night, by a police patrol. This is how I experienced and felt about being "followed". My wife and I had just left a family gathering at around 11 PM across town. About 3/4 mile away from the party I'm sitting at a red light and a local cop pulls behind me. Long story short, he's glued to my bumper for about 6 miles through 7 or 8 left and right turns. And follows me right down my street and as I turn into my driveway and patrol car passes by. As I was doing nothing illegal, exhibited no signs of erratic driving or speeding, and the worst thing on my driving record is an expired inspection sticker, I viewed this as plain and simple harassment. My conclusion was the cop was a dick weed that was trying to panic me into doing something stupid to give him an excuse to pull me over. But I wasn't going to let it happen. My initial urge was to get on the phone and file a citizens complaint with the township's chief of police but I reconsidered because I concluded I'd get no redress doing that and it would lead to further acts of harassment.

This has been my #1 gripe all season. It definitely cost them the Jags game. It's a surprise when there's no flag on kick and punt returns. A needless hold on a McKenzie KR cost the Bills a late 4th quarter TD and the lead against the Titans which might be forgotten given the failed QB sneak to end the game. That's two games right off with better focus and discipline. We'd be sitting at 8-2 right now. False starts, off sides, stupid personal fouls that extend opponents drives or kill them on offense. This is correctable without any radical changes, or roster moves, scheme changes, or game planning. I'm just tired of waiting for a flag on every play. Tired of waiting for a flag on 3rd down that extends the other teams drive or a penalty on offense that kills a big play at some critical time during the game. Like you, I'm not blaming the refs or accusing them of some bias. But damn it, just fix it!

I don't expect a hung jury here. Based on the evidence I'd expect them to be found guilty. A self-defense argument doesn't hold any merit in this case. Citizens are generally not empowered to detain a person that poses no immediate threat and in addition has taken no observable action to break any law along with clearly attempting disengaging themselves from any type of confrontation. I'd expect a competent attorney would have advised his clients to accept or initiate some sort of plea arrangement rather than go to trial. But juries can be unpredictable. The circumstances here are much like the Zimmerman trial in the killing of Treyvon Martin in Florida. I thought Zimmerman was guilty there based on police instructions to not engage Martin in any way which Zimmerman ignored to initiate a confrontation. I don't believe self-defense is a valid argument when you are the instigator. For me the jury got it wrong here.

The issue is we have a different definition of corruption. Biden & family making sweetheart deals with China in exchange for cash payments and extorting money from Ukraine while setting up his son at a 66K per month no-show job is corruption. Biden using the FBI as muscle to protect his family interests is corruption. Democratic operatives inside the agencies and departments sabotaging an elected government's ability to govern is corruption. Trump saying mean and crude things about people, while loathsome, is not corruption and legitimate discussions with elected or business officials about matters of private business arrangements in other countries is not in and of itself corruption. So while I am concerned about public officials taking bribes and payoffs from foreign countries for who knows what in exchange and career bureaucrats maliciously obstructing the elected government of our country you're worried about hurting people's feelings. Sorry if Trump made you and all your friends cry but while you're eyes are full of tears you must not be able to see clearly that our current President's family has been stuffing their pockets with cash and goodies. And frankly I'm tired of you binary arguments suggesting that what Trump did or didn't do absolves Biden of any wrongdoing. The guys as crooked as a 3 dollar bill whether or not Trump existed or not. Period.

I think Jimmy Carter is a decent and honest person and it gives me comfort to know that a corrupt and immoral character like Biden will be replacing him in the history books as the worst President in our times and perhaps the worst President ever. Post all the stupid pictures and tweets you desire. They won't change that.

The committee will certainly find "evidence" that the FBI and DOJ didn't which will produce their preconceived conclusion about the planning and execution of the insurrection. The committee does not report into the executive branch responsible for criminal investigations nor does the committee report into the judicial branch where criminal cases are tried. So it will all be lies, circumstantial conclusions, half-truths, and omissions of fact. None of which would ever hold up to the legal requirements of a valid criminal investigation or a fair hearing in any court. None of it will result in any DOJ or FBI investigations or court trials. Because its all fake. Still, these scam artists and sleaze bags will use their own false conclusions in an attempt to enact legislation.

Whatever their motivations for instituting these changes, DA's and other public officials advocating for these criminal justice reforms will be under the microscope. DA Chisholm calling for an investigation is nothing more than an exercise in avoiding the obvious. He is the cause of the low bail setting. No investigation is needed to reach that conclusion. The only reason to call for such an investigation is to buy time in hopes this goes away since he is now exposed to potential negative consequences given the nature of this incident. I seriously doubt this going away anytime soon. Next will be calls expressed through the usual media outlets not to politicize this tragedy. Odd as those calls will come from people that look to politicize everything when they see potential to gain an advantage. Another certainty is the playing of the race card in questioning the motivations of opposition to these reforms but given the circumstances I suspect that will be an epic fail. Public anger and frustration will culminate in calls for the DA to resign with other complicit DA's in places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago also getting scrutiny. This law and order issue will play well going into the 2022 mid-terms. Anyone seen at all sympathetic and supporting these "reforms" will have a big target on their backs next November.

You're omitting the key fact that Kenosha police did nothing that night to intervene or stop anything from happening in the case of Rittenhouse. He even tried to surrender to them and they told him to get lost probably because they thought he was one of the rioters. Only later did he voluntarily surrender. So as far as he was "treated" by the police they had absolutely no involvement. So bad comparison already because in the case of a 17 year old black kid did the same thing the police would have been a no-show. There just were no police. Because elected officials would not allow police to intervene during the rioting and looting spree. That's why there were shootings that night. No police or law enforcement. Malicious dereliction of duty by elected officials was the reason people got shot. A lack of law and order which the left surprisingly demands when its their own followers that get shot. If anyone should be tried and sent to jail it should be the Mayor and the Governor. You should be going after them. A black kid that shot and killed a couple of rioters from the authoritarian big government loving activist left would have been no hero or victim. The hate mongers would be all over him calling him another black white supremacist.

Absolutely, sending a message to your players through the media is a good way to lose your team and respect for each other. I'm sure we've all seen the intensely revealing press conferences coach Belichik gives on a weekly basis. The insignts he provides are amazing! No coach ever kept his job because he aired out all the teams issues in public and gave good interviews. So McDermott sticking to the traditions phrases and buzz words is the way to go. First football is a physical game and every team in the league plays physical. There's no flag football or two-hand touch going on out there. But the Bills do have a clear problem playing teams that bring a solid offensive line backing up a excellent running game and a defense good enough to give our passing game issues. Its seems the coaching staff is oblivious to the specific challenges teams like the Colts and Titans present when you watch how they approach the game. Is playing the base nickel the best idea, expecting a 185 pound corner to take on a Henry or Taylor coming through the line untouched at full speed? Maybe instead of a 4-2-5 the traditional 4-3-4 is more effective or given the huge investment in DL you work in some 5-2-4 once in a while. How much worse could the result be in just attempting these other personnel packages? Anyway, next up are the Saints and then the Patriots. Is there anyone here that doesn't know what they're going to do on offense or defense against the Bills? The blueprint is clear as glass on how to beat the Bills. Adjustments, some occasional changes in formations and personnel packages and play calling are needed. That's obvious. They know what they have to do. The thing is do they have the courage and the ability to be critical enough of themselves to admit they need to make some basic adjustments if this team is going to make the post season in 2021?

Yes, if it was a black teen acted in the same self-defense situation then he would have gotten support from the patriot movement and 2nd amendment advocates and self-defense experts. And he would have been vilified by the left for being a "Black" White Supremacist. Everything in the above narrative is an intentional lie. This stuff is on the level of profane distortion of truth and facts as 1930's Nazi propaganda. It is propaganda. And creates a hypothetical scenario and draws conclusions that are more lies. 1) Its not against the law to cross state lines. What's the significance of that narrative? The left wants you to think there's something sinister about "crossing state lines" because they want to align state law to be consistent when dealing with the 2nd amendment and gun control using the strictest state codes as the model for all states in the future. 2) Strangely, rioters and looters and anarchists crossed state lines to participate in rioting and looting and anarchy. All expenses paid by some unnamed NGO. But the lying left thinks that's not an important contradiction in their position on the topic. 3) The rife was not acquired "illegally". It was purchased legally in the state of Wisconsin by an adult that was legally holding and storing the weapon. 4) Its no more illegal to attend a MAGA rally than it is to attend a BLM rally. Organized protest is not a crime. So what's the significance of that? More sinister innuendo. 5) Rittenhouse did not pick a fight with anyone. He was initially attacked from behind running away. This constitutes an act of aggression by the attacker and self-defense was justified. 6) The court weighed all evidence and testimony available and acquitted the kid of all charges. 7) If a black teen experienced the exact same scenario he would be considered an enemy of the left and the anarchists among them. The MSM would be characterizing him as a black, white supremacist. 8.) But the radical left doesn't like it because they didn't get their way.

Let's see what the lying cork soakers on CNN and MSNBC whip up to avoid the obvious. Rumor has it the driver was being chased by somebody with a knife. But to believe that you've got to believe that dude with the knife can outrun a speeding SUV. I'm not so sure even the lying and malicious parasites in the media can pull that off.

CNN's lead story: White supremacist mob damages BLM activist's SUV. Now if this turns out to be a hate crime and all good and ethical Democrats, Republicans, and Independents don't speak out and condemn the attack their silence is equivalent to approval of terrorism.

Time to add a new poster board to your Trump conspiracy room. Label this one Waukesha WI. Maybe you can uncover the Red SUV is registered to one DJ Trump and a MAGA hat was seen blowing out of the passenger side window!

Your obsession with Trump and reflexively concluding all issues and arguments ultimately lead to the man is troubling. It might be a serious problem. I'm imagining you have a room in your home with poster boards and pictures pinned and taped all over the walls with pictures of Trump and his "co-conspirators" from various ventures and events. Charts with lines drawn between names and faces. Events all plotted out with the text of quotes and tweets scattered among the various "conspiracy" walls. Boxes of printed documents and NYT and WP news stories stacked on the floor. But at some point leaving it behind and returning to living in the real world is the best approach to life.

For example, when the Bills drafted Edmunds I saw a guy with speed and size and potential and envisioned him playing a couple years after his draft season with a few off seasons of workouts and conditioning to add a lot of muscle mass and strength turning him into a dominant force as a 'superhuman' unstoppable monster MLB. But that hasn't happened. And when I see other teams play, like the Ravens and Steelers, their offensive and defensive lineman and linebackers just look a lot bigger and stronger than the Bills. Are these other teams hitting the weight room and the lunch line harder than the Bills are here to add size, strength, and weight? You look at this year's first 4 picks for example and you can't say any of these guys are small. So what's going on?

1,000 to 1 odds that by the end of the day the liars and cheats in the media will be blaming Trump for last night's incident because he's created a toxic social and political environment that is triggering people to commit acts of violence. And all their minions will pick up the narrative. After thinking it over I conclude its their only play to make here.

Take action to eliminate and minimize penalties. Pre-snaps, personal fouls, unsportsmanlike. All the dumb stuff. I get the calls for being aggressive or trying to make a play or a block. But so far. Steelers - Bills commit 8 for 81 Dolphins - Bills commit 6 for 53 WFT - Bills commit 5 for 30 Texans - Bills commit 3 for 30 Chiefs - Bills commit 10 for 103 and still win as the Chiefs made more mistakes than the Bills Titans - Bills commit 8 for 60 Dolphins - Bills commit 9 for 80 Jaguars - Bills commit 12 for 118 Jets - Bills commit 7 for 50 Colts - Bills commit 7 for 56 Not to include what was called and declined. How many of those were drive killers or led to turnovers? How many gave the other team's offense a break to continue a scoring drive? Tell me the Bills lose that Jaguars game without all those penalties.

I think he's arguing that a guy running over grandmothers at a holiday parade is the same thing as a white guy who was found not guilty of any crimes for defending himself against other white people attacking him. That's what ideological zealots do. But give him credit as he does know about "executive time"
