The border problem has to be a bipartisan solution in order for it to work.

US border needs 'record' funding for 'advanced' protection: National Security spokesman John Kirby also discussed nuclear concerns from Russia and Iran "We still have troops that are down there assisting Border Patrol officers to try to help them so that they can focus on this. We asked for record levels of funding for DHS and, unfortunately, there was no Republican support for that. "So, we're going to keep at this, and we obviously want to certainly encourage more support coming from the Republican side for some of the things that we're trying to do." https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-border-needs-record-funding-advanced-protection-national-security-spokesman

Why does SoFi Stadium have no air conditioning? The Athletic describes the venue design like this: There's basically a big canopy over the field, but the sides of the stadium are open. Together, the sun and the turf can make it feel pretty toasty at field-level when it's hot out SoFi Stadium is "climate-controlled" but does not have air conditioning or a heater, per Local 12, so temps inside could be higher than the readings of the thermometer outside. The roof of the stadium is built to regulate temperature inside, and the sides of the stadium allow for a breeze to flow through.

That's why they wanted Sam Martin to take a pay cut , thanks Russ 🙂

Grim story if true for the future. The World’s Energy Problem Is Far Worse Than We’re Being Told No politician wants to tell us the real story of fossil fuel depletion. The real story is that we are already running short of oil, coal and natural gas because the direct and indirect costs of extraction are reaching a point where the selling price of food and other basic necessities needs to be unacceptably high to make the overall economic system work. At the same time, wind and solar and other “clean energy” sources are nowhere nearly able to substitute for the quantity of fossil fuels being lost. This unfortunate energy story is essentially a physics problem. Energy per capita and, in fact, resources per capita, must stay high enough for an economy’s growing population. When this does not happen, history shows that civilizations tend to collapse. Politicians cannot possibly admit that today’s world economy is headed for collapse, in a way similar to that of prior civilizations. Instead, they need to provide the illusion that they are in charge. The self-organizing system somehow leads politicians to put forward reasons why the changes ahead might be desirable (to avert climate change), or at least temporary (because of sanctions against Russia). https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/The-Worlds-Energy-Problem-Is-Far-Worse-Than-Were-Being-Told.html Texas, home of Eagle Ford, Permian and Barnett shale oil plays, holds more than 60 billion barrels of shale oil alone, Rystad estimates. That is more than the untapped oil in all of China. There are also vast sums of oil beneath the ground in North Dakota, where the Bakken shale oil play sits. Plus oil in Alaska

Even if Trump were charged with a crime it would be impossible to have a impartial jury and convict. Graham would be right about riots. Irv is right , what a mess.

Younger then Kern and I would guess about equal, I like.

The San Diego Police were investigating this case the day after Halloween and hospital . Should have had result before the draft.

Applications will be available in early Oct and take 4-6 weeks to process , hence more deferral.

The Bills could offer a 7th rd pick for a trade and see if that is enough or a player they want who the Bills will release.
