And if MAGA's commit crimes like trespassing and assault on law enforcement officials or even fraud, they expect their crimes to be rewarded by the Big Guy. Of course UNOHO will come back with a stupid meme or question to try to refute this

Self privileged A-Holes. They all should spend time in their "camps"

But there is no money for healthcare

So very Christian of the Regime https://www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/a-pastor-searched-for-a-missing-congregant-he-found-a-car-with-the-keys-on-the-floor/

Nailed it

The BOS says it's not political. It is not a desirable location for a prision. Maybe if the Regime approaches the localities along US 17 between Fredericksburg and the turnoff to Winchester. Horse country with big farms owned by multi millionaires. Looks like a great spot to me...

Every so often as I browse YouTube something totally unexpected and wonderful shows up..

When we purchased our Hyundai Tucson last year we took a look at their plug in hybrid. I can't remember the cost difference between the plug in and the regular hybrid, but the larger battery in the plug in model was definitely a deal breaker.

Hanover County, VA supervisors have basically rejected a proposal to build an ICE Facility. Asking The FEDS to reconsider. (The county voted 62% for Trump in 2024) https://www.richmonder.org/hanover-board-asks-ice-to-reconsider-proposed-facility/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axioslocal_richmond&stream=top

I posted something like this in the Skubal thread. Would love to see a workable solution with a solid floor and a soft spending cap. Make the floor around 80-90% of the league median payroll (not average) if median payroll for all MLB teams is $165 Million then the floor spending should be in the ballpark of $140-150 Million. Anything below and the teams get dinged in terms of loss of draft picks, and possible revenue sharing revenue. All MLB contracts, no phantom injuries. No reset year "tanking". They must spend the minimum amount. The spending cap would probably be around 125-135% of median payroll, say $210-215 Million. Teams can go over, but they get dinged with loss of draft picks, their international pool gets reduced. This is all in terms of actual payroll every year. No long term deferred money. No artificial contract voiding. They're stuck with their mistakes. Penalties will be enforced on a sliding scale. Big spenders will spend, but not outrageous amounts, Stars will still get payed. A median-based floor forces teams like the Pirates to field real rosters every year, while a soft cap reins in the Dodgers’ excesses without destroying their ability to contend — shrinking the gap without flattening ambition.

The whole "Owning the Libs" came around with the arrival of Newt Gingrich and company not guys like Bob Dole. There were differences in opinion, sure, but some were willing to compromise not destroy. Guys like Rush Limbaugh, Jerry Falwell, Pat Roberson then Faux News turned it back into a separation that resembled the break between pro an anti slavery beliefs, that spread to other "grievances". Now it's all about $$$. And who controls it

Only the very best

I love this guy. The Yinzer reaction to the Steelers hire

January 28 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/january-28 Can't believe it's been 40 years. I remember trying to sheild my then 5 1/2 year old son from this..

I started a "conversation" on ChatGPT last night about the workings of a combination salary cap and floor. Basically came up with the possibility of a soft salary cap with a hard floor. The floor would be around 80-90% of median league payroll. Teams would have to fall within that range with active MLB salaries no avoid any penalties, loss of a percentage of revenue sharing, compensation picks, other draft picks etc. I never got into enforcement last night. On the other end a soft cap. Anything above say 130% of the cap gets penalized. Loss of draft picks, International bonuses and pools. The penalties would be on a sliding scale. (The Dodgers would probably get hit hard). Marginal tax rates 40%-75%-100%. Revenues marked only for pensions, minor league pay and revenue sharing enforcement. Also no artificial contract voiding. I didn't get much deeper into the woods, but there needs to be discussions about Ichiro type of contracts where big money is deferred over a very long time.

Hockey was a niche sport around here (especially near Roanoke and Norfolk, Va Beach in the '70s). The Eastern Hockey League team in Roanoke was a decent draw, when the league and it's successor folded not as much. I think it was more because it basically the only game in town outside of college football and basketball. Minor league baseball still has some appeal in the Valley as well.

My random ChatGPT "conversation" should have them scratching their heads...

So WTF are you commenting on Va then?????

That's most of us here from Richmond east. Not much snow but the Ice Storm Monday shut things down for a couple of days. My wife pulled the car across the street to try to gets some solar thawing. Back yard is frozen solid and the dog can't find anyplace to go in the sub 30 degreev temperatures.

Athletic article about turmoils in JetLand. It seems that Aaron Glen's trajectory may be the opposite of Ben Johnson. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7002865/2026/01/27/aaron-glenn-new-york-jets-coaching-staff-changes/?source=athletic_pulsenewsletter&campaign=16601913&userId=213687 He seems way in over his head

That's OK I'm getting serious vibes our Congress Critter owned by Newport News Shipbuilding (not in his District) maybe on thin ice. We will see how the expected appeals go. Same with states like Texas
