Stop watching Fox and then spreading their lies. As a teacher, I hope you teach your students to fact check better than you do. https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/fox-news-laura-ingraham-baselessly-blames-migrants-for-florida-measles-outbreak-19135718
For a "doctor" you seem to have a very poor understanding of how viruses are introduced to a population. If measles were eradicated from the area for the past 20+ years, where do you suggest the initial infection came from? Secondly only 4% are not vaccinated in Florida schools of people here legally, so it is amazing you think the majority of non vaccinated students got the illness that fast in the school

Probably your dumbest, most unaware post ever. That’s saying a lot. If you ignore the border disaster, Biden has been such a friend of Texas during his presidency!
Good god man. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽

Well Biden sent 600 firefighters to Canada when it was on fire but 100 to Texas, so the response is pretty much par for the course. Americans get minimal help while our foreign friends get maximum help.

People shite on Biden all the time. I’m not invested in him. It doesn’t bother me except when his record is distorted. I’d love someone other than him on the ballot. But trump is a bad man and will greatly weaken this great country with isolationism and his band of white supremacists
In the thread about measles, which is now in the Latino communities in Florida brought by people illegally in the country you are railing against White supremacy and isolationism? Whites are not related to this story, but if we were isolationists this particular problem would not be here. Do you see white supremacy a lot in your area of the country?

This whole story makes no sense unless it is a political hit piece or a psyop. This guy is an FBI informant who for years did their dirty work of Intel gathering, you would not publicly burn him unless the entire purpose is the optics. The FBI would lose any chance of getting any decent informant in the future if a source thought they could be outed for bad information, it is covert work. Secondly the FBI brought the source to Republicans, the Republicans believed he was a good source because of the FBI. Lastly the most damning evidence against Joe and Hunter is the laptop, which the FBI has already stated is real and they lied about to get Joe elected, so why is the media pretending this guy is the key piece?

we have the most guns< and the most gun deaths
do we need more guns to prevent gun deaths?
We have far more guns then the 1980s and far less murders with guns than the 1980s, but somehow you think the issue is the guns themselves. In my neighborhood I know for a fact that there are more guns than people but the worst crime in 20 years is teens stealing from unlocked cars. I also find it shocking how often liberals only care about gun deaths but don't worry about any other version of murder. My goal is to lower all murder rates but that clearly is not your goal

It's not important. But it does have some limited meaning. It shows that conservative minds are not creative or funny. And maybe shows are out of touch with pop culture.
And I agree on snl. If I watch the whole show they'll have 2,3 funny skits. Not great, though it's not my type of humor mostly. And yet.....destroys anything that leans conservative.
But I would laugh at things that make fun of the left, unlike right wing twats.
Conservatives don't base our thoughts on what is funniest. It is hard to make jokes about what a crap show NYS has become because everyone I know who still lives there has a lesser life because of the government. It is hard to make jokes about the problems created by liberal policies since the issues are so serious. But in reference to John Oliver himself he has an average of 400k viewers, which makes him equal to a regular season WNBA game.

The report card for the Bills came out much better than I expected and if Terry wants to jump into the top 5 all he needs to do is copy what the top teams are doing for travel. The nutrition part I have no solution because you live in Buffalo.

Just trying to see if you could corroborate your claim. I do have Google, and here's the number I found: $20.23 billion for border security. Seems like a good chunk that could help them a lot.
What does the other 82% of the bill look like?

Can I see the breakdown of the border bill please, especially the parts where here is actually going there?
How would I know why Biden does what Biden does?
So your argument is ignorance and intentional naivete. Use Google and I asked for an opinion.

Not trolling, and no reason why you should believe that. Have I trolled anyone before?
Because your response is ignorant of the entire history of politicians of at least my lifetime. Politicians say money will be spent "here" and it is all spent "there". The break down the money of the border bill was the perfect example and would give Biden more power who is allowed in. Since I answered your, please answer mine, if Biden was morally or legally right in forcing the Border patrol to allow illegals in why did he allow Texas to stop it so easily?

How come so many people don't want to give the border patrol more resources when they claim there's an "invasion"? If these were our troops, no one would DARE hold up funds. Thanks Don!
Before I respond, are you just trolling or is this your real thought out response? I sometimes do that on here when I get real bored and want to be sure.

What an opportune time to bump my thread, just as measles makes a comeback.
Yes, vaccine mandates. I lived with one as a kid in Buffalo, and measles essentially disappeared. Smallpox did disappear. Idiotic anti-vaxxers are trying to put the whole band of childhood diseases back together.
The source of illness is the illegal immigrants, which is caused by your side. The anti vaxxer movement was much more a leftist issue than a right issue also until the COVID lies from the government. All of the cases in Florida so far in the heavily immigrant communities, so your policy of open borders is once again having the entirely predictable end result of damaging children.

You don't welcome others instructing you about vaccines, yet you don't hesitate to strip rights from women.
You can't justify this contradiction; it's simply illogical.
Protecting a child is something you don't understand, I get it. But your happiness at damaging children with the lockdown was crazy on any level.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/nyu-doctor-dies-dining-disney-175014430.html
I wish articles like this did not get printed because the only fully honest part of it is, a lawsuit was filed. Every Disney restaurant asks immediately upon sitting down if you have allergies and has for years, and if you say something like dairy, wheat, or anything common they will send the chef out to your table, I have seen it each time I have dined with anyone with an allergy. I feel bad for the family but there is definite missing info.

about 25% of the US population is Catholic. And this is how you defend your statement. Not buying it. You're clearly anti Catholic like so many far right extremists and hate groups. They're real and pervasive in some parts of the country (think deep south and white hooded robes). Sadly, our faith has its own subset of extremists. To wit, B man....
Your belief that the right is the anti Catholic side is hilarious. I have never been mocked for my faith by anyone on the right, but many on the left have attempted to mock my faith. You literally must call anyone who's not a braindead liberal a right winger with this kind of characterization

I don't believe in egalitarianism, if that's what you're asking. I believe in equal opportunity and that America is one of the best places for it. I like John Rawls' philosophy on this.
I am all for tax incentives such as the enhanced Child Tax Credit that Republicans viciously oppose.
Yes, birth rate declining is going to be a significant issue over the next few decades as older workers retire with no one to replace them. https://www.unfpa.org/swp2023/too-few#:~:text=Worldwide%2C fertility has fallen from,births per woman by 2050.
Nothing you are discussing is all related to where our world is today, the impact of an over abundance of low education people on our population. The jobs these people could fill based on skills and education are not the ones we have to worry about filling. The jobs they can't do are the ones we need to get people from other countries for but we stop them and let in the wrong ones. Not one of these jobs will be filled by 99% of the people coming here illegally

Countries across the globe are experiencing a birth rate crisis, and we are going to be no exception. If we want to compete with China and India, we need immigration to fill jobs. The current immigration system is a completely broken joke.
I welcome migrants seeking a better life in a country with inclusive economic institutions, no cartel violence, no AMLO, and so forth.
So your belief is that everyone is equal, regardless of education, work ethic, or criminal intent? Got it. If you don't believe that you really need to look at how you express yourself. Also the proper way to address your point is to encourage Americans to have kids through tax incentives, not spend the money on illegals. If you believe birth rate is an actual issue your solution is the most illogical, expensive and bureaucratic way to solve it

It’s very sad that you think migrants seeking a better life contributes to the “decline” of a country.It is even sadder that you can't name one thing all the undocumented people have down to benefit the country but still run out an ignorant platitude.

I have seen several mention two receivers I saw a lot of this year and I believe one will be over drafted and the other under. Johnny Wilson of FSU will be over drafted based on his height and perceived ceiling l, but he is not the hardest worker so likely tops out as a 3rd receiver. Javon Baker of UCF is going to be a 4th or lower and will be a #2 by end of second season. Baker is not quick/fast enough to be a top end #1 but he fights for balls and when on the same page as QB is willing to be the dog you want.

Ugh…this sub-forum…I swear…
Your Mark Kaufman article made NO SUCH CLAIM regarding the planet’s entire climate history! The domain of inquiry was only restricted to the most recent 150 years since the advent of the Industrial Revolution. The coldest recorded years are clustered around the beginning of the time domain, while the hottest recorded years are clustered around the end of the time domain. If the planet wasn’t systematically warming, we might expect a more even and random distribution.
Your Daily Mail article (LOL…) is 12 years old. I see how conveniently omitting data from the most recent decade helps further your flimsy narrative. When we seek out the facts for ourselves, as you insisted, we find that global annual mean surface temperatures have risen 0.63 degrees Celsius between 1880 and 1997, another 0.19 degrees Celsius between 1997 and 2012, and then a whopping 0.52 degrees Celsius between 2012 and last year.
So things seem “relatively” more stable between 1997 and 2012 when you zoom into the scatterplot of temperature versus time, but then you can see the obvious positive correlation and a steep imaginary regression line when you zoom out between 1880 and last year. Statistical thermodynamic variation can explain the localized scatterplot bumps, but so far only an increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases is scientifically able to explain the underlying regression line pattern that we see.
What’s so amusing, L Ron, is that there ARE peer-reviewed scientific research papers challenging anthropogenic climate change! Right-wing denialists are simply too lazy to seek them out in the more obscure science journals. The papers tend to be poorly cited, however, and most have already been debunked. Occasionally you’ll still see a tired conspiracy claim (urban heat islands, underwater volcanoes, etc.) that was derived from one of these papers and which makes a recycled return to various right-wing arenas of dastardly, dullardly, denialist discourse (such as this sub-forum!).
Another amusing observation to me is the manner in which climate conspiracists believe actual science is performed. It’s practically impossible for blatantly poor/falsified science to persist in an international science community for multiple decades. You can have slowed scientific progress from groupthink, of course, but not nearly to the extent that the conspiracists postulate. What also greatly complicates the right-wing climate conspiracy is the fact that the global community of civil engineers and naval military personnel, among many other occupations, depend heavily on accurate climate data and climate forecasting to do their jobs.
I also want to address climate modeling because I’m seeing a lot of misinformed opinions on them here. Since I’m running out of time this morning, I’ll have to be super brief:
1. Climate modeling validity: computational science has become ubiquitous throughout all STEM fields (and other fields too). It’s just another tool, like statistics or math or any type of scientific diagnostic equipment. Any subject that deals with physics and differential equations and things like feedback control systems (i.e., like climatology) is probably going to make heavy use of this tool. Science experimentalists and science theorists alike use computer modeling. Probably the most famous example of computer modeling success: particle physics phenomenologists using it to help predict and discover new fundamental particles in accelerators.
2. Climate model accuracy: Dr. Gavin Schmidt of NASA GISS is a great first read on this issue, certainly better than any random pro football message board political sub-forum user.
3. Difference between weather modeling and climate modeling: this is actually a very good question raised from the skeptical crowd! It’s nearly possible to explain properly without multiple paragraphs, but I can say that one big reason why climate modeling has better potential for accuracy than weather modeling is due to the differences in objectives. The former must only worry about thermodynamic state averages, while the latter demands a comparatively high degree of temporally dependent thermodynamic precision despite the inherently chaotic nature of statistical mechanics and fluid mechanics. Another big reason is the large discrepancy between the number of restraining boundary conditions/initial value conditions available for application to each respective model’s governing set of equations. There are also major differences in the input variables, the characterizing physics equations, data sizes, etc… Ugh…is this paragraph making sense to anyone?? Meh…eff it. Hit “submit,” Kay, aaaaand...she’s out.
Kay the Mashable article is used to point out that precise data collection for a large swath of planet is a recent phenomenon. No precise data is available for the vast majority of the world until the past few centuries. In that time frame we are arguing 2 degrees as if that is not in the normal change in temperatures on the planet over a yearly basis, even the data from 1920 is questionable in how it was collected. But you hit on a good point with climate vs weather. Next year I know Josh will score 45-50 TDs, that is the climate vs weather which is game to game and quarter by quarter.
