  1. Kirksey entered training camp as a lock to make the Texans' 53-man roster. But a few days into camp, the veteran linebacker sustained an injured hamstring. The injury forced Kirksey to miss nearly a month, which included all three preseason games. 

    With the release of Kirksey, the Texans saved $5.2 million in cap space.

    might be a good catch for a bargain price.

    So, let me understand.  Turn off power to the hospitals?  Jails?  Traffic lights?  Sewage treatment plant?  Nursing homes?  Police stations?  Fire stations?  You're kidding right?

     

    What a mess

     

    Hospitals should have backup power , or is it better to burn down the city and let most die ?  If the fire is controlled first responders can respond.

  3. 388 names

    On Thursday, Maui officials issued a list of 388 names of those still considered missing, in an effort to slim down the number of people whose whereabouts were unknown — a number that at one point was beyond 2,000. Ever since its release, friends, relatives and internet sleuths have anxiously scoured the list

    brilliant response. Tiberias-level even. You get what you vote for. In this case, rampant car theft and blaming the car manufacturers for it.

     

    Exactly , if voters don't learn from their mistake it's on them. I'm not for catch and release  , no bail,  even for minors. They have to jail car thieves , shoplifting and smash and grab just to name a few.

    The two cities have more in common than automobile theft. Both have had the “benefit” of uninterrupted one party governance for decades. I wonder if there’s anything at all in the policies enacted over the decades that contributes to today’s problems. 

     

    People vote for whoever they want , do you want to do away with that system ?

  6. Democratic lawmakers who blamed the recent wildfires in Hawaii on climate change were largely silent in response to requests for comment when asked about evidence showing the state's main power company is responsible.


    "The lawsuit alleges that the Defendants acted negligently by failing to power down their electrical equipment despite a National Weather Service Red Flag Warning on August 7th," Maui County said in a release announcing its lawsuit last week.

    Hurricane winds without heavy rain to put out fires . Whoever kept the power on should be held accountable.

  7. Not just Chicago

    Minneapolis has been one of the worst hit, recording 1,899 Kia and Hyundai theft reports this year. That's a full 18 times higher than the same period last year. Cleveland, St. Louis, New York, Seattle, Atlanta, and Grand Rapids have also seen year-on-year rises

     

    The root of the problem is that Hyundai and Kia originally built these vehicles without immobilizers. This simple technology prevents the engine from starting unless the car picks up a signal from a properly coded chip inside the key.

     

    A reported 8.3 million Kia and Hyundai vehicles are affected by this problem. The ease of stealing these cars has led to instructional theft guides being posted on TikTok and other social media platforms.

    What's fair?  This is how the Judicial Branch has been run for 100's of years in the US.  Not just the Supreme Court - all the courts.  Now your guys aren't in charge so it's not fair.  Sound like a little kid.  

     

    I'm saying the SC is more then fair for Trump if he has to appeal any conviction. Try to keep up,  you sound like a little kid.

    Yes. Following the constitution is fair.

    So is the system that President Trump facing fair ?

     

     

    Of course it's the same system for everyone unless you want to live in Russia or China.

    In the US if you think a verdict is wrong you can appeal to a higher court right up to a very conservative Supreme Court. That is more then fair for Trump whose supporters are paying his legal bills.
