Dayton wins toss and will receive.

According to KLVI there had been an accident with a hazmat spill causing huge delays in traffic from Nederland. Team there but almost no one else including band, etc. Kickoff still at 7pm.

I knew that I could strike a nerve easily. Thanks for playing..................

Probably as it should be. Vidor has a really good year about once a decade. They have already had theirs for this 10 year cycle..........

Mental illness.

Yes we should listen as that is the law. They are not quite the same though and not just being different facts. OJ was a popular and rich celebrity. Zimmerman, not so much. The one juror that spoke after the Zimmerman verdict said that the jury "wanted to" convict him of murder but the evidence simply was not there. I think the jury in the Simpson trial had the exact opposite take and it was a case of jury nullification. If they "wanted to" convict him, they would have. Both certainly reach the same legal standing and they are both not guilty. There is a huge difference in the way the cases were handled and the popularity of the suspects however.

I am not going to use the excuse “but your guy did it” but it is what it is and that is politics. Politicians know there is a mic on no matter who is in the audience. One of the most despicable things that I have ever seen a politician do in front of an audience was when Obama spoke at the memorial for the five officers gunned down in the mass murder in Dallas. They were there to honor the lives of police officers were killed for doing the job. It should have been left at that, shouldn’t it? But no, in his “memorial” to officers killed in the line of duty, he brings up slavery and Jim Crow laws. While I know that Trump was using the Boy Scouts as a platform to make yet another political speech, doesn’t the other side do exactly the same thing? It is mighty selective to point out a political speech on one side when it is not really called for when the previous guy in the same position did exactly the same thing. Trump does not get a pass because Obama did. It is not tit-for-tat. Sometimes we need to look in the mirror when we call people pathetic.

I think the RNC is fed up with the Republicans that are fed up with Trump.

They might be trying to make 2+2=7. I saw a study one time (and I do not dispute the results) that people watch more than 4 hours of television a day were significantly more likely to have a heart attack at a younger age. So, does the television cause heart attacks or it just more likely that people that sit around and watch television all day don’t get any exercise? If a guy watches 6 hours a day on the tube but then jogs 3 miles a day, is he as likely to have that cardiac problem as the guy who watches only 4 hours but never gets into any activity?

I loved what she looked like when she was on FNC. I still love her look.

Let’s see, 320 million people in this country and we now have the opinion of one of them. Maybe we need about 500 million new threads in this forum so we can varying opinions from one person on, let’s say, the last five presidents.

Only if he was Russian. Since he is Hungarian, it is okay.

We have had some long living presidents lately. Reagan died at 93, GHW Bush is 93 and Carter is 92.

It likely won't matter. There will probably be a 7-2 conservative split by then so the course will be set for the next two decades anyway.

Out of his 10 big accomplishments in life, only one had to do with his presidency. He did help broker the deal with Israel and Egypt which was a huge accomplishment. Nothing in the article, which lists lifelong major accomplishments, lists a single thing that he did for this country as its president.. Go figure. A great humanitarian and a lousy president.

Hahaha!!! BUSTED .... lying about the police in order to sensationalize. Imagine that.

A quote (almost) of Alexis de Tocqueville goes like: “Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.” I believe this, as explained by a frenchman over 150 years ago, is foretelling the current state of liberal\proggressive\socialist politics. Let’s drag everyone down to the lowest common denominator so we can all say that we are equal instead of aspiring for individual excellence or achievement.

Because if you are too lazy to move ahead in life or your only response to poor performance is to blame someone else, then the only way to be equal is to drag everyone else down to your level.

Probably start a war. Then you will be asking why he did something. Trump has been in office less than 6 months and you want solutions from many years of bungling.

Actually federal/local task forces probably go back to Prohibition.

The concept was developed more than 30 years ago. I have been attached to or worked with 3 federal task forces and was a federal agent for one of them (as a US Customs agent before it was ICE). They might argue who decided to impliment it in Chicago or who might actually get the ball rolling for a current task force. I am fairly certain that like most other areas, Chicago has had and does have the feds working with locals on various projects. This might be yet another that targets violent crime specifically.

Much like with Hillary, the Dems attached their wagon to a falling star but for appearances can’t back out. Both have drug their party down and fortunately for the Republicans, the Dems don’t want to be seen as not inclusive or kicking a minority to the curb. They will ride the Titanic to the ocean floor rather than admit their lunacy.

You're kidding right? Nah, probably not.

No, I wouldn't. I think the Republicans knew exactly what they were doing, so did the Democrats and it wasn't panic but reality. The Dems have always had more party loyal, I don't care who is running, voters. The term "Yellow Dog Democrat" is meant for a well known reason. The non-thinking, party voting... I would vote for an old yellow dog before I would vote Republican.

Here is what I read into it and what you ignored. Let's say that you don't think the Republicans in Jefferson County are the same as the Republicans in the rest of the state. Why, I have no clue... but okay. The record votes were, 45 Nay votes in the House. Of those, 38 were Democrats. In the Senate voting against this bill were 11 Democrats and no Republicans. If the straight ticket voting is so stacked for the Republicans, why did they overwhelmingly vote to end it? If it so hurts the Democrats, why did they vote overwhelmingly to keep it in place and in the Senate in a lockstep vote? The truth is that it is just the opposite no matter any rationale trying to explain it away.
