Re: Anti-Israel Protesters Block Golden Gate Bridge

I5 was blocked during the vietnam war protests. I brought it up before since I participated. The same sorts of criticism was leveled then. Protesting should be held in such a way that doesn't conflict with others having a happy peaceful day. But ultimately that's not what protesting is about. It's ...

Re: The Death of America

If the country was made up of only people this moronic it would die in less than a year. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1779855817040126069 One person posts something really dumb (starting with being historically inaccurate) and 140,000 people share it, all talking about how dumb it is. I t...

Re: Shocking Move!

When I was about 16 I was about 10 feet from a woman who was hit by a car while in a crosswalk. Pretty bad head injury. I told someone that she was bleeding like a stuffed pig.

Re: Anti-Israel Protesters Block Golden Gate Bridge

https://twitter.com/DarrenTrain/status/1779952872903336017 I've always felt the same way, but it sure seems that a lot of people get involve in blocking highways to bring attention to their cause. In the US it seems like it's mostly leftists, but in Canada and France there were right-wing anti-gove...

Re: Shocking Move!

Do you think that Class starts right away? I wouldn't think the brain trust would want a top prospect riding the bench.

This signals not much trust in Cade Marlowe. Or Luke Raley.

Re: Illegals committing major Crimes

https://www.hoover.org/research/los-angeles-squatters-have-rights-too I kinda figured this is where we are going. I thought it was implicit that taking over a property not your own and without permission was 'trespassing'. Silly me. I did too until I looked up some stuff lately. Squatting goes back...

Re: Calkins gets absolutely slayed for his inane column

I never get very excited about Calkins one way or another, but that was the WORST published piece of sports writing I remember seeing. Not well organized or thought out (or "researched"). Zero to take any from this. Worse than phoning it in. Is there an editor who looks at these columns before they ...
