I'll add that it is *very* likely that in all fatalities and severe cases, the patient was extremely deficient in Vitamin D, like a single digit level. This isn't a COVID thing - viruses love Vitamin D deficient bodies and the obese and elderly bodies are always deficient without supplementation. You may find 1 out of 10 that isn't and I'd offer that anyone who supplements with it daily has either avoided COVID altogether or had a very mild case. I'd argue that the vaccine is worthless in a D-deficient body and a body with a high D level that isn't elderly is as strong as a vaccinated one. The catch is that you need a blood test to measure your levels which requires a diligence most neither have nor can afford unless you're already being treated for something where it's part of the workup.

Waco is one of those events where as Ive gotten older, my opinion about what happened has changed substantially. When it first occurred I thought the Davidians brought it upon themselves. Today...all I see is the government incompetence got so many people (agents and Davidians) needlessly killed, and those responsible were never held accountable. Whether it was Randy Weaver or Koresh, the feds could have arrested those guys peacefully. They had multiple opportunities. The 90s were a violent time.

The Bills do not ask him to rush the passer every down and he's being asked to complete several different assignments during any one game. I think there have been many posts, pages and podcasts that show that. The Bills are not allowing him to go Warren Sapp out there. I find fault with the Bills in a way - if they wanted an all-around DT talent, Ed Oliver probably wasn't the best choice for that and there were other DTs in that draft that could have provided that. If they wanted a pure pass rushing talent, Ed Oliver is the player.

Those people are some of the very worst mankind has to offer. I absolutely loathe trophy hunters.

This study is a hot, humid pile of bull####. On page 8, bolded and underlined by me: "Our work is the first to explore this issue and as such we are mindful of some of the limitations of our study. First, as is the case with individual COVID-19 infections, it is impossible for us to assess cause and effect to the fan-attended games and the increase in cases/rates over the ensuing weeks. However, the consistency of our findings is striking. Another limitation of our work is that we cannot determine whether the increases in transmission and cases were due directly to fan attendance at the stadium, to tailgating around the stadium or to individuals congregating in the homes of family and friends. Second, because there would be too many variables involved in assessing and linking cases of mortality to fan attendance beyond their simple attendance at a game, we were unable to–and uncomfortable with–using the data or our analysis from a whole-of-league approach. However, if a study warranted, we would be able to apply our model to assess mortality at a local/county-level for specific states. Third, we note that some NFL teams had home games where only friends and family attended. These games were not included in the analyses due to data unreliability, as not all teams may have publicly announced the occurrence of these games. Lastly, for those cases where we did not identify a spike in cases, we are unsure precisely what may have contributed to that outcome, such as specific health and safety protocols for example."

I'd hate a trade down. Trade downs are for draft nerds and playing Madden. If you're in the first round, take a player. As for players, no raw one hit wonders who are 95% elite athlete, 5% football player. I'd especially be wary of any player who sat out last year.

Can't wait for the inevitable Pacific Rim integration and retcon.

Neither he nor Joe Biden will be running for President in 2024 IMO. A lot happens in four years. I think the country will have had its fill of elderly Presidents. Biden because of his age and health. I just don't see him being up to that task. You could argue he's already struggling. They will play the game as long as they can but you can see the end of his runway already. Trump because I think there will be acceptable candidates that'll emerge without all the baggage.

You need to fill that venue with "stuff" as many of the 365 days you can to make any money. Sports. Jehovah's witnesses. Concerts. High school graduations. Anything, everything.

That guy is in serious trouble. Those pictures are of an immune system in meltdown. Parents giving their children these vaccines are out of their minds.

The report, along with the fast availability of vaccines is valuable information in that it most definitely shows that the virus wasn't some natural, previously unknown phenomenon. Nature leaves behind clues and evidence. It's pretty sloppy. You can find it in animals or in nature. Human beings covering up something raze buildings, destroy files, arrest or kill people involved and spread disinformation like a shotgun to muddy the waters so much no one will ever know what's fact vs. fiction. My own personal theory: Lab accident. It's not the first one either. Everyone involved has incentive to confuse, obscure and lie about the details. The WHO, big pharma, university research academia and all the crew in the Dr. Fauci world of epidemiology knew the gain of function experiments conducted there were quite dangerous but also valuable in inventing vaccines and cures, and no one wants the research and billions in research dollars to stop. You have a crew of invisible university and third-party government organizations conducting very dangerous, very precise research in labs all over the world. Since it happened in their lab in their country, the Chinese don't want to be held liable for their incompetence and what has happened and sued by every country in the world. The ongoing SARS research is the core reason the fundamental building blocks of the vaccine technology were already around. Why? Because SARS and SARS the Sequel were *both* lab accidents in Chinese labs. The first SARS accident was the reason the US freaked out and banned private GOF research for years on US soil, which ultimately only managed to chase it all to China who were ongoing partners in the research.

It's shaping up to be a disaster on the commercial side. Office, retail, healthcare sectors are all thinking about dramatically cutting their square feet.

I'll offer that there will be next to no public money coming for *either* option. The absolute worst time to negotiate this for all parties involved. There remains a lot of uncertainty in the economy and government is deep in the hole because of the pandemic. There is already a tsunami of tax increases coming to fill in the deep budgetary holes. This will unfold over the next 1-2 years as the retail, office and commercial real estate gets reassessed downwards creating considerably less revenue for the government. Empty stores and office buildings don't generate the tax dollars full ones do. Empty buses and trains don't generate fares and less driving generates less gas tax. The bond market is going to be expensive too because bondholders will be looking at the state's capacity for generating revenue, and price in that new risk. You only prevent that by getting the economy back to its 2019 levels with people commuting to work and working in office buildings again. That's the fiscal reality. The economy is fragile. Always has been. It requires perpetual movement and perpetual consumption. If the majority of taxpayers prefer working from home, shopping for everything on Amazon, and hanging out at home indefinitely, government isn't going to have the capacity to do these kinds of projects like they used to.

That's why the government's response to COVID has been complete bull#### from the very beginning. .Gov loves their lockdowns, masks and vaccines, but you never get their same harpy treatment on how obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure have played such a significant role in a person's COVID experience. You don't see the government banning fast food, society shaming the obese like some do over the vaccine or anyone advocating healthier meal plans at home and preaching about getting a half hour of real activity a day. Hell, the government found fast food "essential" and closed down parks and playgrounds last year. I remember cities removing basketball hoops. How dare those children exercise! If you want to talk pandemics, obesity and its comorbidity is "the" national pandemic. Kids are fat. Millennials in the prime of their lives, fat. Middle age when the health problems multiply even when you're healthy...fat. Elderly...fat. You see the fat arms and legs. You see the huge beer guts. You see the bloat. People out there who haven't had their cholesterol or Vitamin D (nearly all overweight people are deficient in VIT D) checked in a decade. You add vaping, drinking, a sedentary lifestyle and for some, recreational drugs, and you have a lot of primed unhealthy bodies for any virus to take root in.

I enjoyed the one about the candy bar wars. You could easily turn that era into a political thriller with all the skulduggery between the candy titans.

It's alright. Would have preferred Highmark Field. I'm happy the company is local and has ties to WNY.

He looks like a strong safety to me or a Deon Bucannon type of Safety/Linebacker. I like that he's football player first, elite athlete second and that his instincts for defending the pass are there from playing QB. I don't like that in nearly every draft profile you read you see discussion about how he'd get swallowed up against the run.

He's got a gift for this type of show. His candor is refreshing.

I think the Egyptians need much, much larger tugboats for this job. I mean big boats like in the 200+ ton bollard pull range.

Last year, he had 5 sacks but they all came in two games. He had 12 solo tackles last year, 11 of which came in one game. When Dallas declines to re-sign a troubled defensive lineman, that should give you pause. They love those guys.

Saving Private Ryan Mr. Holland's Opus

Cigs, booze, casinos, pot. Legalized prostitution is the next frontier. In the post pandemic and present underfunded pension world, states will need every dollar they can find.

Baltimore's returns will continue to diminish with Jackson at QB and Roman at OC. Defenses have figured both of those guys out.

It's only a stimulus check if you didn't pay any taxes in CY2019. Otherwise, it's the government benevolently giving you a sliver of your own money back to you. While I like this setup like the next person, I'm also worried about late 70s-era inflation which will make a lot of people lose their minds when they try to get mortgages with those "low" 20% interest rates.

Besides having absolutely no reason to be there, getting out of Afghanistan is an ideal way to stick it the Russians, Chinese and Iranians. 20 years. Unbelievable.
