Ketanji Brown Jackson: Embarrassment
Joe Ferguson forever replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
they being mike davis and nc. I'm partial to this definition: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3941081/ Definitions are given in an attempt to identify phenomena and to delineate examples from non-examples. Expertise is consensually defined as elite, peak, or exceptionally high levels of performance on a particular task or within a given domain. One who achieves this status is called an expert or some related term, such as virtuoso, master, maven, prodigy, or genius. These terms are meant to label someone whose performance is at the top of the game. An expert's field of expertise can be almost anything from craftsmanship, through sports and music, to science or mathematics. People usually agree on examples of expertise, like Yo-Yo Ma (musical performance), Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (ballroom dancing), Antiques Roadshow Appraisers, Albert Einstein (physics), Tiger Woods (golf), Bette Davis (acting), Nelson Mandela (politics), or Hillary Rodham Clinton (international relations). Why different terms? Each term carries with it a slightly nuanced meaning. Shaded meanings vary in their emphasis on experience or constitutional factors as the source of high levels of performance. The term chosen to characterize superior performance carries with it an implied cause. Like expert, virtuoso or master is the result of hard work and long training. If talent is involved, it is a talent for hard labor. In contrast, prodigy, like genius, results from an endowment, which shows up early in life without the benefit of training. It might be appealing to the layperson to believe that a genius is just born that way. Elite performance just comes natural to a genius; you don't have to invest all that time and effort on training, because if you don't have what it takes you'll never get there. Moreover, you don't have to explain why you never had a significant insight, because you just didn't inherit the right abilities or genes. But the facts seem to be that, although people do differ in something called ability or talent, in sports or medicine or any area of human endeavor, talent is a necessary starting point, a platform from which to begin. To become an elite performer one has to capitalize on his or her abilities. Training is the sine qua non. -

It's varied greatly in the last 10 years More typical numbers recently https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/9/17/HLS-Black-Student-Enrollment/ At least now, we can ignore sour grapes from white applicants. -

tells everyone all they need to know about your lack thereof. Almost every SCOTUS justice is Ivy League. Brown is. Davis is not. But tell me how that's all due to her and his race.... -

Justice Jackson is anticipated to be sworn in during the summer of 2022, after Justice Breyer retires from the court. Now, do Mike Davis... -
splain...if there are 50 spots for 100 male applicants, and 50 spots for 200 female applicants, who has better odds under DEI.? without DEI, there are 100 spots for 300 applicants , regardless of gender (numbers are for illustrative purposes, not precision). male odds decrease, female odds increase with elimination of DEI.

ok, moron it is. Just for giggles ask your transplant doc or midlevel next time you get a check up. you said you get blood work every month. did you notice an elevated WBC? know what that's from? The best source would be a pharmacology text but you likely wouldn't understand. glucocoticoids hav myriad side effects. Cleveland clinic didn't include all of them in this cartoon article. look in the PDR or read this simplified piece. It would be really smart to know the potential side effects of your meds. https://connectedrheumatology.com/prednisone-side-effects/ Chronic side effects "Along with the potential prednisone side effects that can occur right away, a number of issues can occur years later. With prolonged use, the skin becomes thinner and more prone to bruising. This is especially true for the skin on the forearms and hands"

nope. several here have called me a narcissist. that's closer to the mark than self loathing. either way, a jury was convinced he was innocent. The defense lawyer argued it was racially fueled. they scuffled before the stabbing and they both are homeless with prior arrests, the white dude for rape of a minor. both sound like "very fine people". btw, you don't need to give an inch. we're taking meters. -

tell me you're a white supremacist without telling me... She's a member of congress. She should be afforded respect by ICE goons, not attacked. -

I'm familiar with Broglio. He is definitely conservative. To publicly state this is a big deal. Good for him.
