  1. Cap-strapped Giants expected to part ways with James Bradberry by 'end of the week' Published: May 05, 2022 at 11:27 AM "We should have some resolution hopefully by the end of the week," Schoen said, via NJ.com. "It's unfortunate because he's a great kid." https://www.nfl.com/news/cap-strapped-giants-expected-to-part-ways-with-james-bradberry-by-end-of-the-wee
  2. laws are made by representatives chosen by the people and must comply with a constitution that specifically protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority. Sometimes I wonder if a non-binding national referendum might be helpful with our system of gov in some cases.
  3. What is more disappointing is voters in both parties elect these nut cases.
  4. Shell posts record quarterly profit of $9 billion https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/05/investing/shell-earnings-record-profit/index.html In just 3 months , wonder why inflation , especially diesel for big rigs.
  5. Madison Cawthorn is acknowledging that a newly-released video showing him naked and performing acts with a man in bed is authentic, but part of a "coordinated effort" to discredit him and destroy his political future. He also said he wasn't surprised Politico ran the story, since it doesn't have the same "same journalistic standards" as right-leaning Newsmax or Fox News. https://www.newsweek.com/madison-cawthorn-releases-video-explaining-fake-news-aritlces-about-him-1703623
  6. The faulty premise of the ‘2,000 mules’ trailer about voting by mail in the 2020 election A documentary by Dinesh D’Souza, a far-right commentator, furthers the myth that something sinister occurred with mail ballots during the 2020 election. D’Souza told Fox News that “mules” delivered 400,000 illegal votes. Experts say the evidence D’Souza points to is inherently flawed. https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/may/04/faulty-premise-2000-mules-trailer-about-voting-mai/ Donald Trump Holds Screening Of '2,000 Mules' Documentary At Mar-a-Lago https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-2000-mules-film-election-fraud-dsouza-rittenhouse-1703680
  7. Pro choice steps in like following WE FUND TEXANS' TRAVEL TO ABORTION CLINICS We provide travel assistance to Texas residents whether your appointment is in Texas or if you have to travel out-of-state. To those who qualify, we can help with: Accommodation,We arrange and pay for hotel stays for folks who need to stay overnight in the city of their appointment(s). Transportation https://fundtexaschoice.org/ Pro life can also help with adoptions , foster care , and birth control counseling. Abortion will still be legal in many states if Roe/Wade is thrown out, matter of expense and travel. They are putting a fence around the SC , had one around the Capitol , still around WH , but it doesn't work on southern border hmmm https://www.foxnews.com/politics/massive-fence-supreme-court-abortion-draft
  8. If the price is doable even for one year to ease Tre back in and give Elam time to develop.
  9. 13 states have trigger laws automatically banning most or all abortions if Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade Thirteen states in the country are poised to enact immediate abortion bans and 13 more could quickly follow suit if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, as it appears set to do according to a draft opinion leaked to Politico. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/13-states-trigger-laws-automatically-abortion-supreme-court-roe-v-wade
  10. Even if abortion is highly restricted in some states it will be less restricted in other states. I would think pro choice would come up with funding for those to travel for the procedure. The more restrictive will have them consider birth control as the option. It's not as if abortion would become illegal in the entire US.
  11. If it is overturned would mean abortion likely made illegal in Republican States , stay legal in Democrat States. When SC nominees were questioned by the Senate , the ones that said Roe/Wade is now set as precedent will be highly criticized. Personally I'm pro life by religious belief , but I don't impose my beliefs on others. It will may now be a States right issue if overturned. It will make a partisan country even more partisan. Changing the Senate confirmation vote for SC Justice from 60 to 51 votes does make a difference between partisan and non partisan demeaner.
  12. If he is anything like his brother Dalvin , just less weight he should be very good.
  13. Russians plunder $5M farm vehicles from Ukraine -- to find they've been remotely disabled But after a journey of more than 700 miles, the thieves were unable to use any of the equipment -- because it had been locked remotely. Over the past few weeks there's been a growing number of reports of Russian troops stealing farm equipment, grain and even building materials - beyond widespread looting of residences. But the removal of valuable agricultural equipment from a John Deere dealership in Melitopol speaks to an increasingly organized operation, one that even uses Russian military transport as part of the heist. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/01/europe/russia-farm-vehicles-ukraine-disabled-melitopol-intl/index.html
  14. 2. Penn State image Jordan Stout, P, Penn State Height: 6-3. Weight: 209. Projected Round (2022): 5-7. 4/26/22: In 2021, Stout averaged 46 yards per punt and knocked a long of 76.

Stout is a punter for the NFL. https://walterfootball.com/draft2022PU.php
  15. Royce White over Ilhan Omar yes please
  16. Bills gave up Round 4, Pick No. 130: well worth it for this CB . Have to hit on 2nd and 3rd
  17. Vegas out of playoffs helps Sabres draft pick , Panthers not so much
  18. As long as the Bills on TNF are on local tv or NFLN I'm happy. Not even tempted for ESPN+ for Sabres.
  19. Buffalo Bills: Nick Petit-Frere, OT, Ohio State The Bills could use more offensive line talent. Petit-Frere could play guard or tackle for Buffalo. The 6-foot-5, 315-pound Petit-Frere won the starting right tackle job for the 2020 season and played really well. He was superb in pass protection, barely allowing any pressures all season.

  20. Kaiir Elam*, CB, Florida Height: 6-2. Weight: 196. Arm: 30.88. Hand: 8.88. Tall and fast, so far so good . Beane never disappoints Official 40 Time: 4.39.

  22. GOP strategist criticizes Marjorie Taylor Greene's remark about Catholic church In an interview with "Right Wing Watch," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) criticized the Catholic Church's support of migrants, saying "Satan is controlling the church. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2022/04/28/marjorie-taylor-greene-catholic-church-satan-newday-vpx.cnn
  23. This would be a good question for Sherpa. Maybe the only deterrent would be the threat to respond with nuclear weapons.
  24. Biden to request $33B from Congress for Ukraine emergency supplemental funding President Biden on Thursday is requesting $33 billion from Congress for additional security, military and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine and for U.S. efforts to strengthen European security in cooperation with NATO allies and partners. The Biden administration is calling for $20.4 billion in additional security assistance for Ukraine, including $5 billion in additional drawdown authority, $6 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, and $4 billion for the State Department’s Foreign Military Financing program. "These resources will put urgently needed equipment into the hands of Ukraine’s military and police, as well as help NATO deter and defend against Russian aggression over the long-term," an administration official said Thursday. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-ukraine-security-assistance-request-33-billion-congress
