Wordle 1,373 3/6 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That's the second time in two weeks I got a birdie after getting blanked with the first guess because the second guess was so strong.

My mafic eight nall says they'll have seven or eight losses before this tourney is over. Looks like Wiscinsin will be the first to fall. They can occasionally get within four, but then the wheels come off again and its back to double digits again.

Wisconsin getting destroyed early. 30-16 right now.

This is really great for the Big Ten, obviously. We'll see how many of these teams can get into the Sweet 16.

Things looked under control then got pretty scary when A&M pulled within 3 there at the end

It's been the biggest generator of Dem motivation and since Republicans aren't touching it at the national level, hopefully it'll fade, and they'll lose their one popular talking point.

Democrats don’t notice, nor care, about that sort of thing. She just has to point out to them that it’s racist, misogynistic, and sexist to vote for some else and they’ll fall in line.

The reasoning is understandable. In a couple of days, I will be voting for the parrot in the Monty Python skit.:(

Democrats raise millions for Florida special elections in Trump territory (nbcnews.com) I'm telling you, unlike the Republicans, the Democrats are actually taking this special election seriously. Jimmy Petronas is a focking lump, the worst candidate, by far, I have ever seen running in my lifetime. Zero effort. Early voting starts Monday and there has been no detectable traces of life from this campaign. The dude richly deserves to lose the election and the GOP may well get pantsed here. This invisible loser is giving away the election. Its madness. Meanwhile, Dems can be proud of the effort Gay Voldemort is putting in, who is essentially running unopposed. I'm voting for the houseplant with the 'R' next to his name and it'll be the most shameful ballot I'll have cast in my lifetime. Having this idiot thrust on us and having our votes taken for granted sucks. I'm pissed off with Trump for sticking us with this empty suit.

The first thing to do is send in another team to see if they reach the same conclusions this crew did. I'm not saying these guys are FoS, they seem credible and are willing to put their reputations on the line for something that seems whack and unbelievable. My BS detector is still issuing some serious warnings. Also, make sure there are top Egyptian archaeologists on that confirmation crew because the second thing to do is a really heavy lift: convince the government of Egypt to dig under their #1 tourist attraction (or #2 behind the Sphinx) because we want to see what's in those stone boxes at the bottom of those columns. Before any project like this commences, they'd better be damn sure 100% certain there really are columns with chambers at the bottom. For my part, I'm just going to watch things unfold to see how credible all this is and proves to be.

I don't remember his days in the 70s but rather his comeback in the 80s as well as his jovial service as pitchman for those grills.

I doubt it. Tim is a more partial to the insider establishment globalist wing of the Democratic Party. He is only an ally to the freak show.

Wordle 1,371 3/6 🟨 🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 won a 50/50 coin flip. I thought it was pretty easy ... and it is if one of your yellows is the first letter. I can see the slide down Mike is talking about if you whiff on it.

Since there was no measles vaccine available in the 70s, when I was a kid, I doubt I'm vaccinated against them. And unlike the chicken pox which I did get, I never got the measles. I also remember that the measles weren't a big deal. I still wouldn't want my kids to deal with them so they're vaccinated against both.

Likely not. The Dems wanted to change national voting laws and were filibustered which prevented them from doing so. Ditto any Republican effort to reform voting. The impetus for this sort of thing has to come from the individual states and I doubt Wisconsin Dems will allow it.

They have some governors in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Kentucky they should trot out. Other than Halfwit, I don't know much about their policies, but they have proven that they can win swing states, which you'd think would be important. Personally, I'm rooting for Kamala or Sam Brinton.

Some ex-employee at the company was an unethical a$$hole according to Trump.... what he did.... whatever.... anyway Trump sued them... there was a $40M settlement. My eyes kept glazing over and I got bored out of my mind as I was trying to decipher the meanings of the werds I was blankly looking at. I'll let someone else try to explain / digest this. Rat's ass.

Bradley Bartell and Camila Muñoz had a familiar small-town love story, before they collided with immigration politics. They met through mutual friends, had a first date at the local steakhouse, married after two years and were saving to buy a house and have kids. Muñoz was already caring for Bartell's now 12-year-old son as her own. But last month, on their way home to Wisconsin after honeymooning in Puerto Rico, an immigration agent pulled Muñoz aside in the airport. "Are you an American citizen?" asked the agent. She answered no, she wasn't. She's from Peru. But she and her husband had taken the legal steps so that one day she might get U.S. citizenship. STAY In addition to Muñoz, USA TODAY has confirmed through attorneys, family members and documents that ICE has detained for weeks: A woman in her 50s who has lived in the country more than 30 years and is married to a U.S. citizen. STAY A woman in her 30s with proof of valid permanent legal residency, whose father and siblings are U.S. citizens, and who first came to the U.S. as a teen. STAY A European woman in her 30s engaged to a U.S. citizen who overstayed her visa when she was 21. DEPORT A woman engaged to a U.S. legal permanent resident, with whom she has lived for nine years. DEPORT

I said the Tren de Argua gangsters should go to El Salvador and the run-of-the-mill deported Venezuelans should be sent back to Venezula. I don't oppose the flights, ideally they got sorted properly to be put on the right planes. If a non-gangbanger gets sent to El Salvador and it was their first time being deported, of course I would support their right to appeal.... then send them to Venezuela. That El Salvador prison is for the hardcore criminals.

No. That prison is for Tren de Argua and other gang members. If they successfully appeal, they can be sent back to Venezuela.

This is beyond my patience and time constraints to digest. I do hope that a field team unaffiliated and independent of this team comes through and either corroborates or disavows these findings. It seems too implausible as my BS detector is flashing and I'm taking it with some suspicion right now. Give me a second team that is skeptical of the first but re-tests and confirms their findings, and I'd be stoked.

God plans ahead. He spent 165 million years playing around with dinosaurs because he figured, rightly, that when he got around to creating humans, they would need oil.

My MiL has other ancient archeological ties. She is from a village in Yuanmao county in Yunnan province, which has some notoriety as being the location of the oldest human remains ever discovered in China and, well not just China, those fossils are actually some of the oldest human remains in the world outside of Africa and are central to any/all theories as to how east Asia was first populated. We're talking 1.7-1.4 million years ago. It was only 11000 years ago people in the region started carving art and pottery.
