Oliver, Carter, all of our linebackers, our safeties… All these injuries up the spine of our defense and it just so happens to be where we’re undersized…

I just posted the updated number as of an hour ago. Best case scenario with outstanding ballot requests is D +505k. Thats right at the firewall number. No guarantee it gets there, and if it does, we wait and see if it’s enough. Cant compare to 2020 with Covid and that’s where Biden had double the mail-in EV lead. And can’t compare to 2022 midterms for a myriad of reasons but also in that Republicans have registers hundreds of thousands of new voters in PA since then. I’ll say that I’m sure Harris folks are breathing a sigh of relief (if the 500k number is an accurate firewall) given how EV has gone everywhere else.

If they thought she was going to win, they’d endorse her. Im certainly not saying Trump is a lock, but every “vibe” metric is pointing that way. Fully realize though that the Democrat ground game can still win this.

Some PA Dems think +500k is the firewall number needed by Election Day Best case scenario is now +500k

If we trade for a DT, it’s not going to be because Carter is going to miss a few weeks. They have Oliver, Jones, Johnson and will likely rotate in Logue as DT4. Kick in Smoot on pass downs etc.. Im all for trading for a DT though, but not because of this news.

He was arguably our best DT in recent weeks… At least it’s not long term. Just be healthy for the playoffs for once and we can handle the nonstop 2-4 week injuries this team keeps getting.

Disregarding cliche buzzwords and whatnot.. here is my true worry with Kamala Harris as someone who isn’t living paycheck to paycheck and has the economy as a concern. 1) Kamala Harris is part of the Administration & political party that pushed for vaccine mandates and vaccine passports during Covid. Pushed for lengthy lockdowns and consolidating power at the bureaucratic level. If another covid type emergency, whether a virus, terror attack, something unforeseen etc., were to occur, they would do it again. They don’t learn and want to memory hole what happened. This is the instinctual response of the left in a crisis. It just is. Collective good greater than individual liberty, but they continue with that rationale even when the collective good becomes a fallacy. 2) Censorship. Only one side continually calls for censorship and suppression of narrative and stories they don’t like. If Elon didn’t purchase X, we’d be in a very different world. And due to that, he has become a political target of far too many on the left. We see what’s happening with speech laws in Europe and I know that wouldn’t happen under Trump/Vance … I am concerned of the slow creep towards that style crackdown on speech by Harris/Walz.. as Walz is on video attacking the right to free speech under false context. He doesn’t even understand the law. And they are party that at its core, don’t believe in the right to free speech any longer. They use terms like misinformation & disinformation to attack language they simply disagree with. They cite experts as means to censor opposing thought and time & time again, those experts are proven wrong. Covid, Hunters laptop and on and on. 3) Pathway to Citizenship & the Border. They saw how this model worked to make California a one party state and want to do it nationwide. I am not for deporting a family that has been here for decades and has committed no crimes (beyond being here unlawfully), but there do need to be deportations of those coming here to commit crimes or abuse our welfare system with no plans to contribute to society. And if Harris is elected and able to legalize millions of undocumented migrants, the electorate and our American culture is at risk of forever changing. I also don’t trust her in the border. They went back to some Trump era EO’s because it’s election season. But I don’t, for one instant, believe they won’t go back to pseudo-open borders. The party isn’t run by Kamala Harris … it’s run by a machine, and one of the main goals of that machine is to do what was done under Biden. So, I’ll not speak of the economy, or the fact that as a straight whiten man, I feel the Democrat establishment loathes me and its fervent followers hate what I am… Ill just leave you with those 3 bullet points as to why I’m voting for Trump/Vance to stop the machine. And if they don’t, at the very least, they slow down the rapid descent into a new America with unchecked government power, expansive control over our digital speech and the collapse of any unifying culture to bond us. You fear one man will be able to govern with unchecked power. I fear an entire bureaucratic machine being able to do so.

I’ll give credit to Harris for going on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast Monday. I would’ve also given her credit for going on Charlemagne’s show as well, but he’s turned out to be pretty disappointing recently for a guy who prides himself on being somewhat of a free thinker. Thing is though.. she should’ve done these weeks/months ago. Going into the final full week and she’s still trying to consolidate/energize black voters… specifically black men.. not ideal.

ALL IN doesn’t mean being reckless with the future. So far, I’d say we’re operating like the Chiefs.. a Super Bowl contender year in/year out, who typically draft well and make decisions that allow themselves to compete for a Championship every year. Obvious counter point is we have no Super Bowl trophies and that team has a Chris Jones on Defense. Without Chris Jones, we have the same defense. From listening to Joe B breakdown Rousseau’s success on his preferred side.. I think we have two potential avenues to get a Chris Jones. 1) Let Rousseau play primarily on his preferred side and tell Von he has to rotate in on the other side when Rousseau is on the field. Then see if he can make the jump. 2) Explore the trade market and trade what likely starts with two premium picks, at minimum. Andy Reid & Spags are a big difference between the Chiefs and Bills right now, but we know that’s not changing. What can change is player personnel. And the difference between the Chiefs and Bills in terms of the roster is Chris Jones. And it’s been that way for years.

It’s a long form podcast. Lex Fridman, Theo Von etc all do similar stuff. I’ll listen to a 90 minute discussion on ayahuasca… and I’d never do it, but I’m fascinated by the phenomena of people all seeming to visit a similar spirit realm with the same DMT elves and hallucinatory figures that show them things about their life.

Make Canada Great Again?

Clark County drop overnight decreased the R EV lead in Nevada by about 4k votes.

No, it’s not. Clark County is reporting in Nevada, and Jon Ralston is as good at this as it gets. NC/GA are updated every night. The above 3 look bad for Harris. PA is the mixed bag. Dems up by about 360k raw ballot returns in EV so far (not great for D’s, but not awful either - given EV in other battleground states, I’d think Dems will at least be relieved to see these numbers here)… but that growth is slowing and R’s are over performing in early vote compared to previous years + a huge increase in voter registration.

It is, but it’s also 5-10 minutes from Midtown. And nowhere near any of the rougher parts of urban Atlanta. It’s like saying Staten Island is NYC. It is.. its also nothing like the other boroughs. I can go for run on the Path Greenway and see Trump signs in front of houses in the residential areas. When Kemp ran, Kemp signs were all over Buckhead.

Im in Buckhead. As it stands, I’d stay here. They literally threatened to secede from Atlanta due to crime spilling up from Midtown and Kemp/Dem ATL Mayor gave us our own police force to prevent that from happening. Fwiw… as it stands, I’d probably be ok staying on Long Island (where I moved from). It’s almost all red, outside a blue city. Would I live in NYC? Nah. Long Island, maybe. Atlanta (Midtown)? Probably not. Buckhead, yea. That said.. I also have a place in South Carolina, and if Georgia ever became progressive blue, I’d probably spend more time there.

I don’t think it will… seems redder this go around and the reason it went blue for Biden and gave us two Dem Senators is because of the man you mention above. Eventually, one way or another, he’ll be out of the picture. That said.. if it does, Georgia “blue” isn’t the same as NY “blue”. Dems compete in Georgia mainly through black folks, a growing Indian population and then trying to win Hispanics and the battleground Atlanta suburbs. They’ve made gains in the Atlanta suburbs due to Trump, but those Atlanta suburbs overwhelmingly support Republicans like Brian Kemp. Also.. black/hispanic voters in Georgia aren’t exactly progressive. They are heavy church going types and aren’t obsessed with abortion and lgbtq issues. Even the Democrat Mayor of Atlanta ran on stopping crime and came out against certain elements of the Biden/Harris border strategy. Weve had a few flare ups since the riots of 2020 and they’ve been heavy handedly shut down.

Looking at raw EV Data… there’s only one question beginning to emerge.. Does the strong EV showing thus far for Republicans detract from their election week/day of voting or is this evidence of the new R+1 national map and increased R efforts to turn out low propensity voters? PA remains a mixed bag. EV returned ballot numbers that can give hope to both sides.

So… does anyone think that was a successful outing for Kamala Harris, because what the **** was that?

This dude sucks so bad. Surprised he didn’t say something like “hey fellas, let’s huddle up…”

No to Civil War Yes to Balkanization

I’m voting for the the Republican candidate as a vote for more masculine views. I could gaf about Trump and his fupa. If im “propagandized” on the topic, might want to ask why the vast majority of men agree with me. In regards to the border.. “but the bipartisan border bill!!” Enough. They opened the borders for years and then tried to sell us a border bill that would allow for 3x the amount per day that Obama’s DHS said would be an emergency. My brother was forced to get vaxxed for his job and immediately developed a heart condition. I would crawl over glass to vote for anyone who knocks these people out of power. Adding RFK to the potential administration solidified that. Your version of masculinity is ::checks notes:: obeying Draconian Covid rules. You’re mistaking testosterone for estrogen.

In this age, everyone will get caught from time to time with a fake story. I typically wait for a story to develop before sharing it and only really share stories with factual reporting of data and/or stories that have been reported by multiple (somewhat) reliable outlets … I say somewhat because every news outlets posts fake news at an alarming rate. Tell me where I’m propagandized… I’m pro-life & while I believe political middle ground can be had, I can’t support a party that demands taxpayer funding of abortion, no limits and the forcing of religious institutions to perform them. Trump is the most pro-choice R candidate of my lifetime, but at least he’s vowed to leave it to the states. I believe in free speech and a hard pushback on censorship/suppression. One party believes there should be malleable exceptions to free speech and that we shouldn’t be able to decide what stories we consume.. the other side is built on a pillar of supporting free speech. Not all on that side are so in good faith, but more often than not, it’s a right they fight for. I believe in protecting our border and culture. Call me xenophobic or nationalist. I don’t care. Legal immigration is a foundation of this country. However, Intentional pseudo-open borders is a choice… and it’s not a choice I support. I want a President who attempts to end wars. Not escalate them. And I will support a President who will stand up for masculinity in the traditional sense and not equivocate on someone like Daniel Penny who risks rotting away in a prison, because your side of the aisle wants retribution for a man protecting others. Trump’s economic policies will benefit me as a small business owner more, but it’s not even about that … I don’t think Kamala Harris’s economic policies will be destructive to my bottom line, because honestly my line of business is recession/inflation proof. This is about whether we are a country that has a culture and the ability to express ourselves freely without swirling government expansion in all areas of our digital life. And furthermore … I will never support the party of vaccine passports and vaccine mandates. Yall showed your true colors in an emergency and will do it again. You are the party of the perceived collective good at the detriment of the individual. And you continue that charade even when the collective good fallacy has been exposed.

It honestly says a lot about you that you shared an Art Candee post where she clips Mark Halperin before he gets to the part where he says he has seen the story but doesn't believe it to be true. You’re the actual mark for social media grifters to distort remarks made by others in an effort to propagandize.
