  1. WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
  2. Are any of the top 10 picks in the 2020 draft having decent MLB seasons. If anyone of you had to redo the draft, who is your choice
  3. I long for the days when all we had to worry about was the Trilateral Commission
  4. I'm confused, didn't these people just recently argue in front of the Supreme Court that the President had unlimited immunity, and Trump was indeed allowed to use that power when he was in office?
  5. That drive wouldn’t be so bad if Ohio wasn’t in the way. Me every time I make the trip from Detroit to Roanoke, Va
  6. Some good stuff from JVL especially on the Fortson killing https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-killing-of-roger-fortson?utm_source=substack&publication_id=87281&post_id=144801506&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&isFreemail=false&r=45wcm&triedRedirect=true Notable quotes
  7. TBH it seems the phrase was in circulation at least since the Civil War, both Confederate and Union Troops used the phrase. So I really can't blame the elder Graham solely responsible for convincing Pres Eisenhower and Congress. I do hold Franklin on the same evangelistic level as the Falwell family, Pat Robertson and Oral Roberts.
  8. Thanks to evangelist Billy Graham
  9. It was only about 250 years ago that the Royal Governor of the Virginia Colony dissolved the House of Burgess for declaring a day of prayer in support of the Massachusetts Colony. "Only the King (or his designated representative) has the power to declare a day of prayer"
  10. We were in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago and happened to drive past the old Tropicana Hotel. Site of the proposed ballpark for the Philadelphia/Kansas City/Oakland Athletics. What a horrible location. Just something else to clog traffic on the strip during game nights. Especially since there seems to be vacant property not far off the strip that may have room for ample parking unlike the Tropicana site. Do they really expect tourists to attend games, especially in the hot Vegas Summer months?
  11. I realize the gentleman from Illinois is persona non grata in the Republican Party, I still like his argument.
  12. They just had to follow the trail of bad hair dye and gin bottles
  13. But I still stand by the sage advice given to my wife and I when we first began dating by Orson Bean. "Men vacuum, women dust". Best (and only) advice I've received from a celebrity.
  14. I see our Governor is onboard with requiring government employees back to the office. Not to improve efficiency but to boost ridership on the Metro https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/local/virginia/virginia-governor-federal-workers-biden/65-673a8204-fb6c-46c9-8ca6-9dbc2178b879
  15. A bit like old tourists traps. Anyone driving I-95 near the SC/NC border remembers South of the Border. How many folks actually stopped there?
  16. Yep, considering that one of the ESPN reporters who happened to witness the event was asked by the remaining officers if they knew the name of the man they just hauled off.
  17. I can't buy this excuse. They certainly should be aware of the positions they (or their spouse) holds. The Trump Brain Worm has taken hold of so called conservatives.
  18. Saw the video (all three plus minutes). I respectfully allow my post be stricken from the official record. But MTG is still a 13 year old at heart.
  19. Pretty much all of this. While the pardon did play a small part in my decision nearly 50 years ago as a 24 year old, gimmicks like WIN (Whip Inflation Now) buttons, the after effects of the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973 and '74 also played a role.
