Re: Anti-Israel Protesters Block Golden Gate Bridge

Not saying it is credible but do you think the protesters will question it???? From people I know who are "pro-Palestine", they are like many of the rest of us: They start with a conclusion (in this case, Israel is the oppressor and Palestinians are the oppressed), and then (consciously or subconsc...

Re: Trump wants a bloodbath!

I hadn't seen anything about the dart thrower. I guess I live in a bubble. You are right about averages and also the measurables at the elite level (i.e., elite men vs elite women). Again, I don't notice the issue much. I hear people complaining about it more than I actually hear about instances. I ...

Re: Trump wants a bloodbath!

I don't think Seattle or Bust was comparing the abortion to transgender men in women's sports, but rather comparing the attention given to the two. Honestly, even with my diet of liberal media, I can't recall a story I have seen recently of biological males competing with women or girls. Of course I...

Re: Curse of the Vothman II GT (SEA @ MIN)

Most insane thing about the ban on black players was that the Browns and Cards in STL were the only MLB teams playing in a former Slave state and it was over 80 years after the end of the Civil WAR. About the same amount of time as Today and WWII. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1946_Major_League_Bas...

Can't make it up. Its like a scene out of a bad movie.
One protester to another: "I heard the police were defunded. Therefore, we can takes these guys easy."

Re: Trust the Astros to hit form (Fri GT)

Before the season started, this looked like it would be a tough series, and would say a lot about the season: Can we contend for the West, or on Sept 20 will we be one of six teams fighting for the last wild card spot? Right now, that's pretty much what it looks like.

I was thinking Kennedy could decide the Presidency with one statement. Go Pro Palestine. All the Far left would vote for him and Biden would lose in a landslide.
Seems right to me. Kennedy has to know he isn't going to win, so the question would be, who DOES he want to be the winner?

Re: The Unanimous HOF question

The problem is the voters only get to vote for 10 players. This means it makes sense to leave off a sure thing player (“He’ll get elected without my vote”) if you want to let’s say, vote for a borderline player who is nearing their tenth year on the ballot, a player who may not reach 5% their first...
