    It is a legitimate issue to raise.  She wasn't indicted but did spend time in jail and needed a lawyer.  I'm guessing that most women think they shouldn't be concerned with the legal ramifications of a miscarriage.

    Are we in the process here of changing the definition of a miscarriage? I think this is a a very important distinction.

    What will happen on Nov 6 if Trump wins? Lefties have tried to argue that Jan 6 was a Trump led attempt to overthrow our government and have imprisoned numerous protesters as a result. I think that will be child's play compared to what the nutjobs on the Left will do if Trump wins this election. What do you guys think will happen and are you taking any precautions as a result?

    Alot depends on who controls the House (and the Senate)

    While it's true that interest rate cuts are often done to help an ailing economy, they are also done once inflation has been defeated due to previous rate hikes.

     

    As inflation became more and more of a problem, the Fed kept raising rates. Inflation is now at target, so they're bringing the rates back down.

    The target is 2%. Has another "definition" been changed?

    I dunno about yards to receivers, but the Jags are 30th in passing yards given up.  The Dolphins passed all over them: 37 attempts, 338 yds.

    It's really too early to put a lot of weight on stats IMO but I'd start Shakir because he's the Bills leading receiver

    Not based on stats, but my gut tells me that Shakir does well YAC. Better than what the Bills have seen recently

    It’s not free money. Most grants are matching, meaning you have to put up at least 50% of what you’re asking, and a lot are paid out as a refund after work is completed, so you have to pay up front. 

    start ups typically have limited funds to be able to use reimbursement grants. certainly possible but possibly quite limiting.

    My wife started her business in the early 90s and would have qualified as a MBE had such things been around, or had they been around, had she known about such things.   I think sensible programs operated by professionals, with mentors to guide, coach and encourage make an awful lot of sense in moderation. 
     

    The challenges can be that like anything else, power can corrupt, insiders can benefit to the detriment of those in need, and those who operate inside government entities often have very little real world business acumen.  Not always, and certainly not exclusively….but it’s interesting to me that in many cases, municipal/state government(s) are at least somewhat responsible for erecting the barriers to entry. 
     

    I’ve also worked with a few individuals who took advantage of local business incubators.  I love the idea.  

    The regulatory environment is treacherous for new businesses.

    When you know that number coupled to the actual US citizen population density and pet census within that same three mile radius, only then you can more accurately assess your Pet/Haitian Underlying Cook/Consumption Risk Score (PHUCCRS)

     

    Of course there are confounding variables such as current large bird migratory patterns etc., but asking the government to tell you how many Haitian illegals that they've dropped in close proximity to your home will give you a reasonably accurate PHUCCRS index and inform you if Fido or Felix needs to go on lockdown. 

     

     

    I'm going to borrow this. Excellent job

    So far I'm at zero.  Both pets are safe.  I checked this morning, and was relieved to find them both alive.  

     

    I hope your pets are safe as well.  Please feel free to leave here any information about pets that have been eaten by illegal immigrants so that we know where to be most vigilant in this respect.  

     

     

    This issue of Haitians eating pets in Springfield Ohio is, IMO, really lazy journalism. Whether pets are being eaten or not is a symptom of the 10, 15 or 20,000 Haitians that have reportedly been flown into Springfield. What is the impact on the community and what stories are true, false, exaggerated, etc.

     

    Shouldn't MSM send a journalist to Springfield and do some "boots on the ground" reporting?

     

    This isn't really that difficult.
