It seems like Kincaid almost disappeared when Knox returned. Kincaid is just a better option in the passing game and cutting his targets is a problem. Diggs and Davis have disappeared except for a few flashes. Looking around the league its depressing how many dynamic receivers there are making amazing catches and finding the open spaces in the D while the Bills currently lack that element.

There's mo love lost between the teams and my guess is some Ravens players will be lobbying the coach for playing time and padding stats. Even so, given the 53 man roster you can't rest everyone.

Maybe they can re-investigate Pearl Harbor and say we weren't prepared because the Japanese didn't tell us about their secret attack plan. I mean seriously, didn't they get a hint of things to come from those 100's of government assets and informants embedded in the groups organizing and participating in the protest? It screams of an intelligence failure rather than some paperwork problem. Or more likely they knew what was going to happen, let it happen, and afterward they could make a big deal out of it for 3 or 4 years into the next election cycle which is what we've got.

All delusional idiots planing and using fascist tactics, actions, and edicts from un-elected party commissars destroying democracy in order to stop somebody else from destroying democracy. And just like all socialist/communist actors in history, we're to believe that once the evil they claim is a threat is vanquished, they'll return all the power they've acquired in order to pull it off back to the people.

Well, when the thing ends and absolutely nothing was gained, billions were wasted courtesy of the US taxpayer, 100's of thousands are dead, many more injured or disabled, millions of displaced Ukrainians are left to their own, a negotiated settlement renders the currently Russian occupied provinces are no longer part of Ukraine proper, and another failed US intervention goes into the dumpster, I'll ask you to apologize and admit I was right. How's that sound?

I know more about Ukraine than you because I'll venture to guess I know more actual Americans of Ukrainian descent than you do, some of which are family. I'm thinking you're basic premise is the other guys are malevolent and evil while the folks in Washington and their allies are Boy Scouts always playing it fair and square by the rules and never telling a lie. Perhaps Yanukovich was a "Russian puppet" but he was democratically elected and removed through a coup where the US Dept of State and CIA played a lead on-the-ground role. And the replacement, Zelensky, a puppet of the Americans and the West. My position from the beginning was this entire situation is none of our business and absent our participation there would have been no coup, no violation of the Minsk Accords, no invasion, and no war. I see no clear reason or evidence to change that view. On a side note, rather than some dispute of no consequence 8,000 miles away we should be focusing on China's takeover and influence in Central and South America, right in our backyard. A real US national security threat. Something this administration ignores. Look at all the interventions our government has gotten us into, all the money spent, all the lives lost all around. Its hard to name one that didn't turn out to be a complete disaster. Its hard to say the world is a better and safer place because of American interventions. Its just the opposite. I'd like to hear anyone suggest otherwise. Thinking about it, Its hard to remember a single year during my lifetime where we weren't at war or directly supporting somebody else's war effort. This is going to be a disaster too but I'm sure you'll support whatever spin the people behind these disasters make up when they declare success and absolve themselves for all the negative consequences and death their actions caused. And to add, no war criminals here for things like 100's of thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths under Bush or errant drone attacks ordered by Obama in targets in places like Pakistan to take out dangerous activities like wedding parties! Yup, those DC Boy Scouts are pure and good. There's no conspiracy here. Just bad policy and bad leadership. With every failure we lose influence and respect. I got to wonder how steep the learning curve is for you and other like-minded posters here to finally figure it out.

I'm no fan of the spending habits of either party or their roster of administrations that have contributed to the debt mess we're in today. Its also hard sell to claim our federal income tax system that exempts the lower 50% of earners from paying any federal income tax hurts the poor. The direct impact of most of these tax reduction acts is to substitute borrowing for tax receipts. The biggest threat to our society isn't so much the debt and spending but rather events that are unfolding more quickly to challenge the the dollar standard system that allows extravagant borrowing and spending which enables the government and citizens to live a lifestyle well-beyond what is justified by our productivity. Can you imagine how much different the tone of the current debate in Congress would be if those pushing $100's of billions of aid for war efforts in Israel and Ukraine and financial assistance to migrants would be if they had to sell it to the taxpayers by telling the it will cost each of them several $1,000 out of their pockets in a special tax assessment to be executed immediately rather than borrowing the money in some out of sight treasury auction and added to our national tab?

Administration economists are adherents to MMT, modern monetary theory or what others call the magic money tree.

Yes, Biden's administration has done a masterful job of balancing the budget.

People need to wake up and start electing representatives that will cut Federal spending and balance the budget. But the problem is once you start getting a lot of "free" stuff its hard to say no. When half the voters pay no Federal income tax what do they care about the tax rate or tax cuts or deficit spending? Keep the free stuff coming. Neither party has the courage or will to cut spending and borrowing and that's why massive inflation and depreciation in the currency and standard of living are inevitable. All the debate and blame game is just an exercise in futility. The one thing you can do is plan for it and mitigate the negative impacts on you and the people that depend on you to a minimum.

Simply by virtue of the incident being reported and publicly acknowledge, we can eliminate the possibility of the object being a Chinese spy balloon!

Because on a personal level, the majority of citizens just don't see those "good" indicators translating into any improvement or positives for themselves.

The entire thing is a charade Everyone knows, whether its what supporters call migrants or what opponents call invaders, that the asylum designation is being exploited and abused in order to circumvent the legal immigration process and the consequences of the traditional methods of illegally entering the country. Few to none of those claiming asylum will likely meet the criteria but few to none will show up at the hearing and regardless under this administration no Federal law enforcement person will lift a finger.

Biden is a CCP asset.

They're devious election obstructionists afraid that the voters left to examine the positions and issues to draw their own conclusions will cast their vote for the "wrong" candidate. Very undemocratic.

It's not my side stupid. Just because you swallow the government's bull#### doesn't make you a patriot. Do some independent thinking and look at all the other crap situations those clowns have gotten us into and expect the usual disaster ending.

Just don't show up at places like Martha's Vineyard and expect the locals to roll out the welcome wagon.

Somebody is eating a heavy dose of propaganda. If you believe the other side Ukraine has lost over 1/2 million soldiers and is so short on manpower that State Intelligence and Security agents are kidnapping military age men off the streets and conscripting men up to 60 year old to join the fight with little to no basic training to face an average life expectancy on the front of about 1 day. And the citizens of those provinces, which were part of Russia for hundreds of years prior to the Soviets transferring sovereignty to Ukraine, that comprise the area of conflict are ethnic Russians that prefer to be citizens of Russia, not Ukraine. What to believe? As the saying goes, "the first casualty of war is the truth" so don't expect to hear the truth and facts from either side.

Weaponizing the dollar reserve system as a foreign policy tool, which has since its inception operated outside the political sphere, to exert pressure and punish any country that angers Washington by seizing or freezing the dollar denominated reserves of a foreign central bank without due process is accelerating the process already well underway of countries diversifying their foreign exchange holdings away from the US dollar. The thinking, we might be next for who knows what displeases the policy makers in Washington. So lets get out of the dollar. As those dollars come home the result is lots of inflation and other consequences of bad monetary policy. If you've got investment dollars in the market I'd recommend moving some funds into hard asset plays (gold, oil, real estate, commodity plays, etc.) as I see this area to be a good bet for appreciation in 2024. Its one of the few stupid thing politicians are doing that you can take personal action to protect yourself against.

When that moment comes I'm curious how those posters here that point to anything short of all-out war and reclamation of all territory lost "supports" Putin will rationalize the Biden administrations change of heart with regard to supporting a negotiated settlement. Will they label the President as a Putin supporter and post lots of funny pictures with the two together? Or claim what a capable and prolific statesmen Joe is while memory holing their dislike for such a settlement and anyone that dared to suggest it up until the day the administration embraced the approach and therefore made it okay for them to support too?

The Michigan Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that Donald Trump can remain on the state's primary ballot, rejecting an attempt to remove the former president under the US Constitution's "insurrectionist ban." Unlike with Colorado, the Michigan case challenging Trump's eligibility was dismissed early on in the process and never reached trial, after a Court of Claims judge who first got the case ruled that state law doesn't give election officials the ability to police the eligibility of presidential primary candidates. The Judge also ruled that the case shouldn't be decided in the courts - a decision which was upheld by the Michigan Court of Appeals, which wrote "At the moment, the only event about to occur is the presidential primary election. But as explained, whether Trump is disqualified is irrelevant to his placement on that particular ballot." According to the Michigan Supreme Court, the anti-Trump challengers "have identified no analogous provision in the Michigan Election Law that requires someone seeking the office of President of the United States to attest to their legal qualification to hold the office."

The Fed's primary concern is the well-being of its member banks and the system is a free money racket for the banks. Us Peons are required to devote time and effort to produce something of value in exchange for money or wages while the banks receive money from Heaven. Like magic! The dual mandates are purely a public relations hustle. Its the world's most profitable crony capitalism racket.

The debate isn't about a judge laying down fines and rulings that a defendant "doesn't like" but rather the argument that the judge's ruling is biased by personal, political, ideological or other factors unrelated to the law and the facts of the case when making the ruling.

It's the same paid group of professional protesters employed by the party that gets flown in and bused to the site dressed in the proper attire for the occasion. I expect they'll try to screw up New Years Eve events as their next act.

So no explanation for Biden's bad numbers? Not even an attempt? Got it. Enjoy the New Year although predictions point to a rough year for your cult.
