Chargers running their 2-minute offense at the end of the half, and on 2nd and 11, the so-called offensive genius Mike McDaniels calls… a run up the middle. Which gains one yard. Such. A. Genius.

That 4th & 1 play call by Green Bay on the 8 yard line was as idiotic as any I’ve seen this year, any game, any team. Hell, any SPORT. #NFL #TNF

Big debate on NFLN and ESPN over Watson vs Shedeur, when the best QB on the team - Dillon Gabriel - watches from the sidelines. This is why the Browns can’t have nice things.

Centrists/moderates have no greater claim on the support of progressives/leftists than the left does on the support of centrists. And vice versa. If your faction loses in the primary, and you don’t support the other in November, then STFU about whose fault it is when MAGA wins.

#Booksky friends, yesterday I came up with a new way to frustrate, if not stop, the scammer-spammers. In response to the bogus offers to present to "book groups," I replied: "Great! I charge $500 per hour for such events. Please respond with your 16-digit credit card number to enable billing."

The Pentagon claims the Iran war cost $29 billion in its first 60 days - $15B/month. For LESS money, we could: - make tuition free at all public universities, colleges, & votechs - house all homeless people in the US - end hunger in the US PLUS Have $1B+ left. Every month. Priorities.

"In Search of Valor is exactly the kind of thriller that reminds you why you fell in love with the genre in the first place. Gary Corbin has crafted a tightly wound, emotionally rich novella that punches well above its weight." #booksky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

After SCrOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act in the Louisiana case, now red states are reportedly mulling more gerrymandering than ever with impunity. This is so wrong - and gutless. Voters should choose their leaders, not the other way around.

The whole “bomb them back to the Stone Age” episode turns out to be yet another excuse and opportunity for insider profiteering. Oil prices dropped, stocks market surged 1000 points… follow the money. Who gained from all this?

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
