Unions were probably at their strongest level in the early 50s, at the same time there were a lot of strikes. The country was still enjoying the effects of winning WWII, but also involved in Korea. The middle class was in ascendant. I don't see any way to get us back there. Especially under the incoming administration. I think we're heading back to the early 1930s, early depression.

I just want to know what bathroom Bruce Jenner used when he visited Trump and Musk in Florida recently. I'm sure no one raised a stink when he used the women's room of the VIP dining area.

Another member of the Trump Crime Syndicate joins the ranks https://bsky.app/profile/jamiegangel.bsky.social/post/3lc6zyr33zk2j His son in law's father. The guy he pardoned.

Aren't we all

I just want to do away with that horrible Lee Greenwood song. So overused, and not great music to begin with. It's become trite. It ranks right up there with Tony Orlando and Yellow Ribbons

The Bears new interim head coach is their interim offensive coordinator. He's also has had a history with the Rams and Sean McVay in 2020. If the Bears go after Ben Johnson, maybe they take a look at him?

Especially most of those watching TV probably won't be driving anyway. Are you guys far enough into the wintery portion of the season where most people remember how to drive in snow?

Such an uplifting message from the incoming guy https://politicalwire.com/2024/11/28/speaking-of-thanks/

I don't put it all on Caleb. He was trying to get the other 10 in position. The rest of the offense was treating it like they had lots of time left. No time clock awareness there.

The Bears lollygaged to the line, he only had about 8 seconds or so to get the play off. Somebody needed to call a timeout just to get organized.

From what I see on FB. Same ole Bears. Everlose should never be allowed anywhere near Lake Forrest again

I know, I tried Google and DuckDuckGo. Nada

Mike Phillips is no Alto Ray, but man that circular breathing

From MLB Bsky.social The Detroit Tigers release SS prospect Christian Quintz #mlb I can't find anything about this guy on line...

The New England Colonies (Mass, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Maryland) were basically established as a refuge to religious persecution. Virginia and New York were considered more commercial enterprises. By the time we got from 1619 to somewhere around the 1770s I believe it may have been a mixed bag. Governor Dunmore's proclamation was probably an attempt to tamp down on the dissent brewing in the Virginia Colony following the crackdown in Boston. Still the Church of England was the preferred version of the crown. At least in Virginia some Baptist ministers were jailed for their beliefs. Non Anglicans were heavily taxed to support the King's Church

To me the bottom line is when "Right to Lifers" put in as much effort to promoting the quality of life for those already born as they do to the "unborn"

I agree with this up to one sticking point. When the American Colonies were under British rule, there was only one religion mandated by the King. True it was "Christian" but every citizen had to pay homage to the Church of England (Thanks to Henry VII). Which basically ment that if you were Jewish, Baptist, Muslim or Heaven forbid Catholic, you were considered a heretic. A major example, in 1774 when the Virginia House of Burgess voted to declare a day of "Fasting, Humiliation, and Prayer" in support of the Massachusetts Colony following the sanctions impose in response to the "Tea Party". The Royal Governor disbanded the House. "Because only the King can declare a religious day" https://www.ouramericanrevolution.org/index.cfm/page/view/p0206#:~:text=On May 24%2C 1774%2C after,threatens destruction to our Civil

About those tariffs... Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

Agree,

If the mods prefer to move this to a different forum feel free. George Will is celebrating his 50th anniversary as a columnist. One of my favorite baseball books is his Men at Work:The craft of baseball. Ken Burns has interviewed Will several times for his documentaries, including his one on baseball. This is a good piece about their relationship.... https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/11/24/george-will-discipline-baseball-jefferson-roosevelt/

This is an extremely long thread, just posting the link. It gives the timeline from 1/6/21 to the Supreme Court's decision on Trump's attempt to overthrow the government. Well worth reading https://bsky.app/profile/muellershewrote.bsky.social/post/3lbutkhi4hk2a There is a lot more to digest. You might need some wine
