For those that watched on TV...was the ref really as bad as he came across in the stadium? Decidedly. At first Savage was diplomatic, describing the ref as "insufficient", but as the slanted/incompetent decisions persisted, was clearly called out for being "bad" and "wrong&...

The jurors get questioned extensively in court by the two teams of attorneys. They base their choices on the answers, demography, gender, race, how they dress, body language etc. Technically speaking research into the individual jurors isn’t permitted l, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it happened a...

Day 1 of the first criminal trial ever of a former US President. This is called the Porn Star/Hush Money case, but it is really about election interreference. Maybe a half dozen pro-Trump demonstrators flooded lower Manhattan. Trump lawyers lost a bunch of motions. Judge emphasized how Trump needs t...

Hopefully that outcome was somewhat by design

just fyi, the fella that organized this little get together is a state senator who was one of Trump's fake electors.

Odell came with lots of baggage. Worked out well for the Rams :) Talking about deals that were ripped by the experts at the time, when the Giants traded OBJ they were mocked and ridiculed by the entire NFL mediasphere. One of the biggest *stars* of the game moved for a 1st, a 3rd and a safety the B...

Second game of the season announced:

Packers @ Eagles

...in Brazil

...on a Friday

Other than the Eagles losing a home game, it's an absolute joke.

Waa thinking that the share price slump could well hurt him in the Presidential race, as well as in his pocket, (he supposedly can't sell his shares within 6 months of listing without express board approval, (the board is stuffed with cronies tho..!)), Many of his staunchest supporters would have l...

With Florida becoming the latest US State to effectively ban abortions it seems that the election is coming down to these issues. Obviously there's the Vote For/Against trump no matter what the issue is crowds. But the others big issues are... In addition to the race largely being dumbed down to a ...

Part 2 of this is out now....focussing more on suburbia and "exurbia". Honestly never heard the term "exurbia" before - a very interesting listen though! Ha! I used the word "exurban" in a post further up the page. tbh, is an often-used term in American political scien...

He is named after the first President of Russ...

So this is what I’m struggling with as an newbie to the sport and need to look into. We’ve just traded one of our best players, Stefon Diggs, for a second round pick. That seems like an awful deal to me but I’m sure it’s been well thought through and they have a position and player in mind that the...

Polls can be informative much more than they are predictive.

So, bitterNY, question for you, is the Republican party finally going to officially separate into 2 parties? MAGA/Christian Nationalists and GOP along with RINO's. I'm not sure enough is being said about the Christian Nationalists. They quietly occupy the highest seats in the military and in Congre...

Didn't play for Mexico vs. Panama. Was caught on camera having a snit and kicking the bench.

Came on as a sub vs. the US and this was his most memorable moment:

Another republican politician is leaving the party over its current direction (moving more and more maga). And yet Mitch McConnell, after standing down due to age issues, endorsed trump despite being at odds with him in recent years. I'm not sure which way the party actually wants to go... https://...

/\ strange indeed. The faction of ISIS claiming responsibility are known as 'Islamic State of Khorasan ' - confusing thing may be that 'Khorasan' is an ancient term for the eastern part of the former Persian Empire (which linguistically still exists in Tajikistan and Afghanistan - sort of means ' w...

I assume the Connecticut venue will be Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, capacity about 40k.

*Only* 1000 miles from Jacksonville and 1250 miles from Tampa.

Interesting assortment of locations.

Florida from Naples to Dunedin is packed with nice places. Ditto Apalachicola to New Orleans

Definitely warm destinations in the summer months.

Of course, it's not as much the heat as it is the humidity.

Clear and obvious that it was neither clear nor obvious.

What a joke.
