Tell that to the French and Italians and Spaniards.

They don’t count. All their citizens have to have ID cards. Evidence of their barbarism. LOL

My advice if you don’t want to take the vaccine is to jump right on Zovirax (acyclovir), Valtrex (valacyclovir) or (famciclovr). I have direct knowledge to three people who took it at the first sign of the rash and it stopped it dead in its tracks. Speed is of the essence.

" Everybody has asked the question, and they learned to ask it early of the abolitionists, “What shall we do with the Negro?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature’s plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! If you see him on his way to school, let him alone, don’t disturb him! If you see him going to the dinner table at a hotel, let him go! If you see him going to the ballot- box, let him alone, don’t disturb him! [Applause.] If you see him going into a work-shop, just let him alone,—your interference is doing him a positive injury. Gen. Banks’ “preparation” is of a piece with this attempt to prop up the Negro. Let him fall if he cannot stand alone! If the Negro cannot live by the line of eternal justice, so beautifully pictured to you in the illustration used by Mr. Phillips, the fault will not be yours, it will be his who made the Negro, and established that line for his government. [Applause.] Let him live or die by that. If you will only untie his hands, and give him a chance, I think he will live. He will work as readily for himself as the white man. " - Frederick Douglas

They did what your are supposed to do when you encounter the police. They were respectful.

More meaningless virtue signaling.

The policy is the policy.

Marijuana is a recovery drug for athletes. It's use is highly prevalent in the NFL, where guys have a good bit of muscle pain from a combination of high physical exertion and trauma.

The rule for swimming caps is to keep athletes from pursuing equipment advantage. If they don't like the rule, clip their hair very close to the scalp and quit using oily products. If we start down the road of individual cap/hair approval, we'll have a train wreck.

It was. Actually a grammar problem. I fixed it.

Because the $10M more brings good returns to the tax payers, because the $10M more avoids costly mistakes that then spare the tax payers from having to foot the bill for the consequences later.
Take the bungled COVID-19 response in first half of 2020, for example, a more competent set of White House staff could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars.

My favorite part was the total lack of anything in even the same hemisphere of supporting evidence.

I'm not a follower of golf, but this match caught my eye because two bigdeal QBs are facing off. 🙂

What little scuttlebutt I've redd is predicting Rodgers will win. His handicap is 3.5, Brady's is 8.2, but Rodgers thinks Brady is a better golfer than that. You'd never guess that though, from the way they're trash-talking each other, LOL.

@jolly said in "Kelo was wrong then, and it's wrong now":

"The Constitution's text, the common-law background, and the early practice of eminent domain all indicate 'that the Takings Clause authorizes the taking of property only if the public has a right to it, not if the public realizes any conceivable benefit from the taking,'" Thomas wrote. "The majority in Kelo strayed from the Constitution to diminish the right to be free from private takings."

Thomas is right. Urban blight can be addressed in other ways, besides seizure under eminent domain.

For instance, on a small scale...The small town closest to where I live does not have overgrown, nasty vacant lots. There is a city ordinance specifying how high the grass can get, before the town sends the property owner notice that they have seven days to get it cut, Failure to cut the lot, means the city will mow it for you. And send you a bill. Not a cheap bill.

What happens? Vacant lots get cut pretty regularly or the city will pile up enough charges and will seize the property for monies owed. Works pretty well...Property owners don't want to keep sinking money into something that makes them no money, but costs them money. Property either gets developed or sold.

If the city seizes a piece of property for monies owed, they either try to sell it to a developer with the clause that it must be developed within a certain time frame, or for several parcels in the poorer part of town, they have partnered up with Habitat and built houses on those lots.

+1. In this case I agree with Thomas and the system Jolly described works for me.

Could we be doing more to make an example of the Jan 6 riots?

Definitely. An independent commission authorized by Congress to investigate the Jan. 6 riot, for example, is one of the things that we can and should do to make an example of the Jan. 6 riot.

By all means, let the left slake its tribal blood lust. It will only be all the more laughable to watch the contrast in reaction to the next oppression olympics riots.
