Things that Senator Eric Schmitt always confuses: Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Atlanta Hawks. A John Deer Tractor vs. A Dear John Letter. Washington State vs. Washington DC. Gorrillas vs. Guerrillas. Duke University’s Blue Devils vs. Arizona State University’s Sun Devils.

They let up 20, not 27. Seven points were squarely on Burrow amd his pick six . 2025 Bengals D would have given up at least 35.

The first I heard of this story was from some coworkers of this guy who were guests on my boat yesterday. I had no clue what they'd been talking about so they had to tell me the story. They said they weren't close to him but knew him well from work. Crazy story, but I believe it.

I subscribe to Jeff's "everyone is entitled to my own opinion" newsletter. I hope you will too. I don't swear nearly as well as he does and I'm not as funny, either. But his airtight political commentary will have you laughing until you cry. And he's a man with a very big heart.

How often do these criminal clowns actually get *under oath* with a true perjury risk? It's nearly impossible to get them to do it, and when they do, all of a sudden the bird starts singing a different tune.

Friends, if your response to concerns about pseudoscience on shark week is “if doesn’t matter if someone with a large audience says obviously wrong things because I personally know it’s not true,” I invite you to take a look at the world.

Yeah, I'd do weekdays, those would be OK. Midweek is best. Parking is still and always a nuisance, but there are places that's aren't too crazy. If you get to the cobblestone area across from Bowen's area before 9-9:30 you can often pick up a two hour spot.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

Not only would he have had to outlast Trump, he'd have to outlast our memories of his horrible words and actions during his Trump Toady phase. And that was unlikely to work for a lot of us, ever. Be decent in life if you don't want to be despised in death is a good approach.

So much bad information. I asked the AI summary a question (is a URL the site for a specific business). Exact URL, our site and business. It ignored the domain I gave it in favor of one with a higher rank and said NO. It only admitted the error when I pointed it out. GIGO. And there's a lot of G.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

There I was thinking specifically of a farmer making decisions about whether to plant, spray, etc. But you are 100% right, there is a death toll. Those kids and adults who died in Texas when some camps flooded last year come to mind right away. I'm sure there are others.

Now imagine you work in the marine business, say, as a sailing captain taking passengers out on the water. You live and die by the weather. You check it before bed and 3 or 4 times before work and all day. And suddenly it's just...not so good. It's a bit more than heading out without a raincoat!

While publishing it MONTHS ago in said traditional newspaper, so we'd have time to act on all the illegal and unethical activity they're now reporting on a year after the fact. Instead of you know, now, when it's kinda late, but hey they can sell some more books this way.

People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.
