For most liberals "The State" is their God.

Sure a crime is a crime but there's no crime here because there's no victim. For fraud to occur somebody needs to be harmed or defrauded or minimally attempted to be defrauded. Who was defrauded or attempted to be defrauded? What entity involved in the transactions filed a criminal complaint or charges? And of what were they de-defrauded? No party has reported any material or financial loss. The State certainly wasn't defrauded of anything. That's why its a civil case because a criminal case would have been booted out on day one. Typically, crimes of financial types (this is financial right?, inflating the value of assets?) have degrees based on the dollar amount of the crime. But there's no dollar amount here. In the end the State of New York is probably going to blow $20 million plus on prosecuting this case of nothing and come up empty. But they don't care, its not their money and its not mine either.

All week long McDermott said they were relying on their sports science and in hindsight it might have been better to go out earlier. What I don't understand is how the offense could be hit with the symptoms of jet lag and while sleepwalking for 3/4 of the game (with the one TD drive before the 1st half as the exception) yet the defense, already out a couple starters and losing a few more during the course of the game, in what can only be described as a gut check performance showed far fewer effects of the time zone difference. Being out on the field for 2/3 of the game is what did them in. While the results were not perfect the effort was definitely there. But the offense, 29 yards rushing for the game? Come on. It was a 4 point game going into the 4th and they abandoned the run in the 1st half.

I'm still waiting to hear what tangible harm was caused by this allegation of inflating the value of real estate. How was the State harmed? They weren't even a party to any transactions. First, if you want a loan using property as collateral a bank will send an appraiser. And ensure the property value is consistent with the conditions of granting a loan. Second, all the banks that loaned money to the company based on property as collateral were paid back in full along with having the payment serviced. Nobody lost one cent per my understanding nor is any party to any transaction is claiming harm. There are many places where valuations get stretched. Go get a diamond ring appraised. Then take that number and try to sell it on the market for that price. Good luck. I guess all these guys should be arrested too.

Reports Israel is striking Hezbollah targets in Southern Lebanon.

I stand corrected. The second defender was closing in on the play when the time the ball arrived. Given a 4 point deficit and 14+ minutes left on the game clock I still think it was a poor decision. Josh's talent and confidence are both a big blessing and yet a big curse at times too.

What proof has Little Ricky presented to support this allegation? Nothing, right? Since when do lefties need proof? All it takes is one of them to run around with their hair on fire and the rest join in on queue. That said we might have bigger problems here. I suspect that these thugs have established and built networks of terror cells throughout the US and Europe while exploiting open border policies pushed by bleeding hearts and global NGO's for about the last 10 to 15 years. They might be waiting in line down in Texas right now but who knows? Certainly not DHS or Customs. So when, God help us, these sleeper cells are activated in Europe and the US are you going to blame Trump for that too?

I re-watched the 4th quarter interception play a couple times. The only thing I might disagree with is I think this one falls directly on Allen and not Dorsey. The Bills also burned a time before the play as the play clock ran down to zero. Josh had 2 other easy options on the play. Knox open in the left flat but the better option was to Murray at the numbers on the right at the Bills 43 with the nearest Jags defenders way down field around the Bills 38 yard line. They were either unconcerned about the underneath throws or concluded that the throw was going deep. Allen has a clear line of sight to Murray as he's looking up the field to Diggs. Maybe the check down doesn't get the first down but it sets up a potential 4th and short situation. As Diggs is double covered and the ball is slightly under-thrown it wasn't a great decision. The check down was the high percentage play considering the circumstances. The score was 11-7 and a 4 point deficit with almost a quarter left shouldn't have factored into taking that risk. I hate to say its a problem when a player is too talented but that seems to be Josh's problem at times. Our QB has so much confidence in his ability that it gets in the way of his decision making process. A less skilled QB would have taken the 10 yard underneath throw and played the percentages in keeping the drive alive.

This and using Kincaid for two yard check downs are the most disappointing parts of the offensive plan and personnel use.

They can somewhat solve the jetlag issue by scheduling the game for 5 or 6 PM London time.

What killed the Bills defense today more than injuries was way too many easy 3rd and long pass conversions. The secondary looks to me the biggest concern. Our starting Safeties are looking their age. With the exception of Bedford who was out today the outside corners are rarely in position to make a play on the ball. Beane needs to go to work Monday morning and investigate options. And do we think after two major injuries Tre is gong to come back anywhere near 100%

They need to tell the league the Bills will not ever let the league schedule them ever, ever again for a game in London.

They are definitely ruining this game.

If anyone thinks coming to America to settle in some major city will provide sanctuary from violence they are tragically misinformed.

I didn't vote for either of them the first time and that won't change in 2024. I think we should poll Yes/No Do you think Trump will be in jail before the election? Yes/No Do you think Biden will still be alive in Nov 2024?

We're not Trump supporters. We just think liberal policies have totally ***** everything up.

Americans prefer good old fashioned domestic government and media produced propaganda to the foreign brands.

Yup. There's typically a seasonal decrease in demand after Labor Day which begins to increase with Thanksgiving travel and the December and New Years holidays and then drops off again until Spring. If there's something more like an economic slowdown or a big hit on demand from prices that could be part of it. My first job after college was as a statistician where one of the things our team ran was energy demand forecasting models. We gather traffic volume stats, several types of data series, developed coefficients of demand to create the model and then ran forecasts a year out. It was pretty accurate in both actual demand and identifying shifting demand patterns throughout the State over the course of the year.

What the fools making up these fake job reports don't seem to comprehend is that while a robust report will boost the impression the economy is going gangbusters and the Biden administration is doing a marvelous job, it will also compel stock and bond traders to sell off those markets because a higher jobs number will signal the Fed about the need to continue raising rates. Which will increase future expectations for a severe recession and eventually tank the markets and the economy into the November 2024 election.

Yes, sorry about that. I'm multi-tasking!

The unspoken message of the Post story is more and bigger government makes you live longer.

Call me a cynic but observation leads me to conclude neither Dems or Reps want a resolution because a problem solved is no longer a useful campaign issue.

A more reasonable alternative is don't offer people lots of free stuff and stop abusing the asylum designation when it's obvious almost all are coming for economic reasons.

It's "ladies night" everywhere! Free admission and 1/2 price drinks.
