  1. Here in the US. The SCOTUS just overturned a woman's right and left it to the states.
  2. We don't here either. How come we can't keep up?
  3. https://www.wbez.org/stories/cook-county-has-more-palestinians-than-any-other-county/af5ddebc-b8c7-4fb1-88e7-7c2cf8f0124b "...But experts also say the history of Palestinian migration to Chicago has to be understood in the context of a long history of conflict in the Middle East. “To discuss the history of Palestinian migration or displacement to the United States requires discussing the history of Israel. Otherwise, we are leaving out the root cause behind why there’s such a large number of Palestinians in Chicago,” said Nadine Naber, professor of Gender and Women’s Studies and Global Asian Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In the 1948 war around Israel’s creation, more than 700,000 Palestinians were displaced from land that became part of the new state of Israel, according to the United Nations. Palestinians refer to the mass displacement of 1948 as the “Nakba,” meaning “catastrophe” in Arabic, Naber said. Roughly six million people around the world are direct descendents of the refugees displaced from 1946 to 1948, according to the United Nations. A majority of them “have been denied the right to return to their homeland, because they or their ancestors are refugees,” Naber said. ..."
  4. I say we have Aaron (Rodgers) of course mold us a golden statue of him holding a calf.
  5. That makes no sense. Over 100 years old in 3 different towns... Sounds like a cheating who*** to me. Las Vegas is the perfect town. New classic. Oakland stole it from KC and KC stole it from Philadelphia... What's the difference if Las Vegas now steals it?
  6. Don't worry... They will be gifted a WorldSeries in under 5 years. At least Buffalo teams never moved. Is it better to be left hanging on a leash or move? Thank God we have an international border w/Toronto or we'd go the way of the dodo 🦤 Oakland teams in the BayArea!
  7. Well... They did move from Philadelphia first to Kansas City, then Oakland. They did spend almost just as much time in Philly as Oakland. Live by the sword, die by the sword. That's how it works in declining areas that at one time may have hemorrhaged from other areas.
  8. Wanna/need to waste +2 full hours the easy way! 😆 Enjoy!
  9. Allen is this generation's Brett Favre. Just needs to win one to shut people up.
  10. @ Bucs 12/21... Cost us home field: That would have been the potential winning penalty putting ball on 1 yard line. Tom Brady home cookin'!
  11. I was there for the Jags game.
  12. We always get the German ending! 😕😞
  13. They don't want nuance because they prospered on the misery of others.
  14. Wrong, it can be nuanced. The Jews are now the power establishment... They are the bullies, not the victim. And there is 16 years of walls, social stratification, apartheid to prove that. Underneath it all, the Republicans are worse. They are just using leverage. It's a topic often talked about. From 2015: https://www.mid-day.com/news/opinion/article/so-why-are-jews-hated-so-much-22907219 There needs to be a ONE state solution. Two state is now dead.
  15. Figure. Chamber is 1,000 feet long. He swam in. Then 1,000 feet out... 2,000, then guide wall is 1,000 feet... That dude at least put on a mile today no doubt! Who knows what he was doing before a boater called us on marine radio: "Hey O'Brien, you gotta a deer in the lock!" I responded: "Is it dead or alive!" 😆 Deer can swim! Noisy geese are probably shouting: "Hey deer get TF outta the water." Deer: "I'm tryin' dudes!"
  16. We locked through a 10pt. buck today: A little "hydraulic assist." Cracked the upper valves to give this big boy a little flow/tush push! Out! On his merry way south!
  17. Bread & circuses... NICE!
  18. I won't steer you wrong. Only the straight data!
  19. Illinois doesn't tax you on your pension, SS, and your 401k... It's a good state to retire in... Or at least have your address there. Still it's pretty messed up here. I think a lot of old storm system is tied onto sanitary? They have been building the "Deep Tunnel" since the 1970s: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_and_Reservoir_Plan#Status
  20. I'd rather read it's competition: The Onion. 😆....Righties fall for FakeNews 10x more than the Leftists. Hey... We do fall for it from time to time. 😉
  21. Yeah....Especially Toronto is rebounding. A good analogy of Toronto is to think of it, with it's ravines, as SanFran turned inside out. BUT... After about 14 years of low water on L.Michigan/Huron... In 2014 high cycle hit after that cold winter. Peaked around 2019. Record high! Now it's going back down. I started with Corps in 1990, here 1992. It was coming off a high cycle then....With a brief spike in 1997, then bottom fell out from 2000 to 2014...
