    I could get their attention in 3 seconds by stopping their supply of American weapons and money but Biden's crew is too stupid to figure out anything that simple.

    You can be wrong even if you're right.  It found him out of Minnesota and Buffalo.  BTW I'm pretty sure Diggs wasn't the only one to see those issues, he's just the one being immature about trying to fix them.

    It's easy to point out problems but coming up with solutions is that hard part.  In the salary cap era being able to sign and keep players is a problem.  If a high paid Diva wants to do something how about taking a pay cut on his huge salary cap number so the team can sign a couple defenders or maybe another player or two on offense that could make the difference.  But I don't see anybody standing in line to take a pay cut or on the other side of the coin ownership or management looking to cut ticket prices to give the fans a break or raise the cap to pay players more either.  Pro sports is the entertainment business and that's kind of how it is now.  Like or hate Diggs this was just a business decision all around.

    Draft Xavier Legette at 28. Draft BPA later on.

    I believe he would be a good fit vs. need at WR because I think the Bills need an AJ Brown type of bigger, physical receiver that fights for the ball  and Legette is one of the receivers in the draft class that fits this need.

    No, I did not state that much of the data is DERIVED from computers. All of the data collecting and data PROCESSING is done with computers because it can be. Interpolation and numerical integration techniques have been around since the days of Newton and Liebniz. Or are those now considered part of the grand climate science conspiracy??

     

    Direct temperature readings of the stratosphere and oceans have been extremely thorough and precise for at least the past few decades. Exactly how many more years of data collecting here are necessary before consensus inferences can be accepted??

     

    I suppose we could discuss rising ocean temperatures here, if you insist, but it won’t be overwhelmingly convincing to the “skeptics” crowd because the factors contributing to its rise are far more nuanced than they are for the stratosphere.

     

    So let’s get back to the stratosphere, in relation to the troposphere. Direct temperature readings for the stratosphere have been collected since the first satellites were launched, but we can focus on the public data compiled from the past three decades. What is a “skeptical” person’s explanation for the consistent drop in stratosphere temperature (along with its physical shrinking), well above thermal noise variation, in parallel with the consistent rise in troposphere temperature?

     

    A simple physics-based or earth science-based explanation is all that I’m requesting. L Ron and Tibsy and 4th-y and I, however, do demand a peer-reviewed scientific research paper citation if you’re going to suggest ozone variations because that explanation has already been thoroughly analyzed.

     

    My commentary on Al Gore’s movie and on Climategate haven’t changed since we last had those discussions ~2 years ago here.

    I think you've presented an interesting theory but how many years of data do we have relative to the age of the Earth?  A 100 years or less of temperature data from all these temperature gathering stations over the course of about 4.5 billion years?  Let's say 1 billion years as an inhabitable place.   If my math is correct that's .0001% of Earth history.  Is that a sufficient sample size to represent the potential historical record?  Although we don't have specific temperature readings we know from other geological records and events the Earth has been a lot hotter and a lot cooler before Humans appeared on the scene.  So by definition something else, geological events like volcanoes, played a key role in climate variations.

     

    Now I'm not saying the theory you've laid out is incorrect.  It may very well be correct.  There's simply insufficient information available to validate it as the only explanation.

     

    I'm also curious about the placement of temperature monitoring equipment.  I have a thermometer near my deck and in the Summer it can be 100 degrees but if I take the thermometer and walk about 40 feet south to a row of shade trees the temperature there can be 68 degrees on the same day at the same time.  Not only are there regional variances in temperature readings on Earth but variances down to the local level inside a 3/4 acre lot.

    Another person checked into a halfway house that Ashley Biden had previously checked into.  She found it in the room Ashley Biden was assigned before her, under the mattress.  She didn't steal it.  She then put it into the hands of Project Veritas who then had their doors kicked in by the feds.

     

    And Finding Qanon wants to hand wave all that away.  Shocking!

    In keeping with my theme, why is the FBI involved?  Its hard to accept that losing, stealing, selling a diary falls within the jurisdiction of the FBI.  And certainly not a situation where armed SWAT teams are dispatched. 

    Its a case of a powerful political figure abusing their power and using Federal law enforcement assets as a personal bodyguard team.  For personal reasons and not official government business.

    You are generally a pretty reasonable commenter here, and I understand what you're saying.

    But let's say you are a public figure. You're All Pro Bills, and you really are a retired former All-Pro football player. You have an adult daughter; she herself is not a public figure, and has never sought out media attention. She has had a troubled history and has kept a diary on the advice of her rehab counselors. She puts her trust in a guy also in rehab; he abuses that trust by stealing her diary and selling it for personal gain, presumably to embarrass you.

    Should he be prosecuted? I think you'd say yes. I would say yes too if my daughter were in that situation.

    Again, I get what you're saying.  So maybe in my case I get a private investigator, or contact the facility where the theft occurred, or contact the purchaser to inform them they're in possession of stolen property, or file a complaint with local law enforcement.  But the FBI won't be getting involved.

    I first heard of this diary a couple years ago.

    And I don't think anyone who's looked at it has any doubts that it's real.

    But here's what happened: she was in rehab. Another guy in rehab (maybe she had a relationship with him) stole the diary and sold it. It's boring except for that one comment. That apparently came out of some therapy session - some kind of prompt like "is there anything in your childhood that may explain how you got here?" It's in the category of a recovered/"suppressed" memory. It is in the category of Blasey-Ford's recovered memory about Brett Kavanaugh. I didn't put any credence in that, and I don't in this. Ashley Biden is not continuing to advance some theory about her father being sexually inappropriate. 

    Because of that, it's really inappropriate to keep publicizing private writings of a drug addict (at the time) who had those writings stolen by another drug addict.

    I get all that but why is the FBI involved?  I'll wager my life savings if my daughter's diary was lost or stolen, Federal law enforcement wouldn't have put any priority or assets on the case.  Ashley is not a public official with security clearance in possession of national security secrets.  What's the concern?  Its another example of political privilege and protecting a powerful political figure from potentially harmful scrutiny.  The concern isn't for her, its for her father.

  8. What I found telling and smart for both the team and the players was the Texans and Diggs re-worked his contract into a 1 year deal.  Which effectively gets both parties what they want out of 2024.  The Texans get a player motivated to not cause trouble or make a scene and play his best football because he's on a one year deal and auditioning for free agency in 2025 and Diggs, perhaps having another 1,000 yard season, gets his choice of destinations and one more big pay day after the 2024 season is over and free agency begins. 

     

    If he stays with the Bills, assuming they draft a potential WR1 in the first round Diggs might have seen an even lesser role in the 2024 which would have lowered his value if the Bills cut him loose after the 2024 season.

    Protesters in Tel Aviv have called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign amid chaotic scenes in the city. Thousands of people have taken to the streets with clashes between demonstrators and police, according to media reports.

    It comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was branded a "narcissist" by a former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) general, who raged: "The sooner he goes, the better it will be for Israel."

     

    In a statement reported to have been issued by the organisers of the protest, and translated from Hebrew into English, they said the fate of Netanyahu and his government are "obstacles" to an election and the return of the remaining hostages.

    They said: "Don't talk to us about total victory. This is empty propaganda aimed at the continuation of the war. We don't believe in these concepts anymore. They hit us hard, we hit back even more. It's time for decisions."

    Einav Tsengaukar, who Walla reported as the mother of a hostage, told the publication: "I promised you Prime Minister. I stand by my word unlike you.

    "As long as you wait and the abductees rot in Gaza, I will continue to persecute you along with this nation."

     

    Figures show that six months into the war 33,137 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, of these 13,000 were children.

  10. I'm listening to comments by SC women's NCAA BB coach Dawn Staley on whether transgengers identifying as women should be allowed.  She slowly and carefully responds "if you consider yourself a women you should be able to play".

    Riley Gaines called her a sellout.  My question is what happened to feminism and the women's rights movement?

    What happened to fighting the patriarchy?

    What could be more toxic to women then men stealing their identities and opportunities?  Sellouts?  Yes.  To their fellow women because they lack the guts to stand for each other.

     

    I might want to ask Ms. Staley and others with her view is if I consider myself to be a brain surgeon are you comfortable with me operating on you and replacing your real doctor?

    I think most sane rational people are sick of the ***** this administration has been doing. Sick of the rising cost of inflation. The turnstile our justice system has become under democratic rule, the freaks trying to pry children away from there parents. The only chance biden has a shot at winning is if they cheat once again. But this time everyone will be watching. 

    What's wild is a candidate like Haley crushed Biden (because he's highly unpopulsr and she isn't) in polls of the general election but she got stomped by Trump in the primaries who beats Biden by just a couple points.

    This election is about voters that hate one guy or the other or hate both.

    Problem is that when the commies administer the test then only useful idiots can pass it.

    The epicenter was in Hunterdon county about 15 miles from me.  At about 10:25 AM the house.shook like a helicopter was landing on the roof but no damage.  An aftershock rolled through at 6 PM.  

     

    As the shock was centered in a mostly white upper middle class area we can rule out racism. 

     

    My theory is Trump has an earthquake device hidden at his Bedminster golf course.  When they raided his Florida estate they were looking for the remote control to it.

     

    Or if no other cause can be identied, the Rusians did it.

     

    The fact the continents move and drift over time along major and minor fault lines that occasionally release energy and pressure in the form of earth tremors can be dismissed by those that "trust the science".

    BIDENOMICS IN ONE LESSON: 

     

    Job Creators Network Reacts to March Jobs Report. 

     

    “Looking under the hood of today’s jobs report shows it isn’t the home run that Democrats and the media claim.

     

    Approximately, half of all jobs created last month came in unproductive government or quasi-government healthcare sectors.

     

    Full-time jobs continue to decline, while part-time jobs are on the rise.

     

    And average wages are growing slower than inflation again, meaning Americans are suffering declining living standards.

     

    The Main Street labor market is far weaker than the topline numbers or the conditions on Wall Street or K Street suggest.”

     

    https://www.jobcreatorsnetwork.com/press_releases/job-creators-network-reacts-to-march-jobs-report/

     

    .

    What raises my suspicions more than anything is the statistics of the numbers.  This year so far, three statistically significant "beats" of consensus by what statisticians characterize as 5, 3, and 4 sigma.  Two beats of such magnitude would be incredible but three in a row seems impossible.

    Has every professional job market expect that for decades nailed the jobs number every month lost their mojo? 

    That would seem to be one logical conclusion unless you beleive the numbers are fake.

    Isn't that the same as saying "the top 5%"?

     

    I believe the economy is strong, and that it is important to measure the U.S. economy against all other developed economies. When you do that, it appears even stronger.

     

    But I'm not so blinkered that I don't see problems. I just agreed with you a few days ago that we have a real problem with bloated CEO pay compared to worker pay, and that we need some corporate reforms to address this. I also think the rise of part-time jobs vs. full-time (with full benefits) is troubling, and I'll admit that Obamacare rules drive some (a lot?) of that.

     

    My question: I don't see you willing to admit economic progress in ANY way. 

    I agree that CEO pay is way too high.  Because, more or less, they get to decide how much they pay themselves.  The corporate business structure is something the professional executive management class has been exploiting for a long time.   

     

    But I disagree the economy is strong.  I think its built on a house of cards.  This economy is like a patient on life support.  All their vital signs are in good shape but unplug them from the machines and well...  you know.  In the case of the economy that life support is trillions in debt being accumulated.  Take away all that debt funding lots of unproductive activities and off the cliff we go.

    I see that the usual crowd has gotten their talking points ready 

    A lot of it is government jobs, 71K.  And health care jobs are most likely funded by Medicare and Medicaid.  Which is more government spending.  Even for private insurers like UnitedHealth or WellPoint government programs like Medicare Advantage and Medicaid comprise the majority of their insurance business. 

     

    Meanwhile, this administration is on track to run a 2024 fiscal deficit of around $4 trillion.  Unless the prevailing wisdom no longer applies, the general rule is government deficits shrink or turn into surpluses in good economic times because tax receipts boom and social assistance and other support programs become less necessary.  But all that's going in the other direction.  I can't explain why that's happening in what many say are "good times" for the peasants.

    I believe WW3 already started  

    I do too but most Americans take a cavalier attitude toward war because the two oceans have to this point isolated them from directly experiencing any harm short of shipping off on some overseas military adventure. 

    But when China lands 200k troops in Mexico or the power station that supplies you in your comfort and safety gets taken out by some Russian or Chinese missile or a terror cell attack and you don't have any electricity for 6 months and your life is sent into total chaos you might at that point start thinking Ukraine joining NATO or unconditional military assistance to Isreal wern't such great ideas.

    OK Pinocchio.  Keep lying.  

    Don't worry.  Everybody had a job in the former Soviet Union too.  How'd that turn out?

    The key is what are they doing? Pretty much low skill, low productivity jobs which generates around $1 of GDP for every $3 of public and private additional debt.

    What business is sound that spends $3 to make $1?  Only the magical thinking libs believe that's possible.

    Sure, bloody Putin would never murder people wholesale. God bless those Republicans saving Putin the grief of having Ukraine able to defend itself. Let freedom rain down on all of those Trump likes, and no one else 

    If you accept the premise of all these reports you can only conclude the Russian military is incapable of hitting any targets except apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, shopping districts, and other civilian assets while completely missing all military targets of any value.  Which begs the question why the war isn't over?
