    If teachers were a priority, which they should have been, maybe allocating the AZ supply to them would have made more sense then vaccinating me, who works from home all day.

    It's the community that we shop in, do business in, have customers in, get repairs in........We are about 40 minutes away but are there at least once a week. You've seen me bitching and complaining on here and there is good reason. I have no idea how you get them to roll up their sleeves. Without being rude but I will be, maybe if they start dieing off It will kick in. Winkler/Morden drives the economy of the entire area now. It has bedroom communities in the outlying areas. What were little mennonite villages are towns of 1000 to 2000. The growth there in my lifetime has been phenomenal.The trouble is there is still a old school ,small town ,religious mentality that shows it's ugly face at times. And this is one.

  8. the key to beating the Oilers is to get an early lead. Tippett still plays that old "get a lead and lock it down" style, so if they score first, they'll start trapping hard. It's not a guaranteed win if you score first, but it'll go a long way....

    When I was playing hockey we would rub shampoo on our shields. I didn't think it would work until I tried it and then I did it before every game. I still remember the coconut smell of the shampoo I kept in my bag from a hotel. I'd be curious if this would work with glasses fogging too.

    Area of need are DB and DL. Lots of DBs on top 25, DL not so much. Is there a chance Kongbo will be back? Cant go wrong on restocking the OL and I dont mind getting a future pick here.

    Studies consistently show that the higher the education level, the more likely the individual is to vote progressive, so not wonder Pallister, Kenney et al hate education. As Trump said," I love uneducated people".

    There was talk that Trump would give back pocket pardon's to his cronies to be used when they finally git indicted, was this true and/or legal I guess we will find out if they get charged.

  22. if you are a hard core racist, who actually believes the replacement crap, what better place is there for you than law enforcement? I mean in america. get paid to beat up, harass, and even kill your "enemy" with impunity, while having a powerful union, compliant political establishment, and a large percentage of your citizenry , and a popular media system backing you up no matter what you do. dream job for some people.

    Devin Nunes is caught up in Giuliani’s 'Russian mob' scandal: Trump impeachment prosecutor Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) has exposure in Rudy Giulian's legal scandal, according to former prosecutor Daniel Goldman, who served as majority counsel in Donald Trump's first impeachment trial. Goldman offered his analysis after The New York Times reported that FBI agents also executed a search warrant at the home of Giuliani ally Victoria Toensing. "This makes sense because, during the Ukraine impeachment investigation, we obtained draft retainer agreements between a Ukrainian official and Toensing and diGenova that Giuliani brokered," Goldman tweeted. Podcast host Eric Garland noticed Goldman's analysis and added his summary of the situation. "UM. SO GIULIANI AND TOENSING AND DIGENOVA WERE SIMULTANEOUSLY UNREGISTERED AGENTS OF UKRAINE *WHILE ON THE PAYROLL OF RUSSIAN MOB BOSS DMITRO FIRTASH* - while working for Trump. When he was President. And they all were conspiring with Russian intelligence," he wrote. "Correct," Goldman said. "And don't forget Devin Nunes and his sidekick Derek Harvey were involved too," he added.

    I saw something early on that a surgeon suggested using a bandaid over the bridge of the nose to close the air gap. Apparently that's what he does during surgeries to keep his glasses from fogging with a mask. Looks kinda dumb though, so maybe some medical tape would do the trick as well.

    it only makes sense that he returns at this point. He was really starting to blossom as a pass rusher here late in the last season. Hes still very young, 25 ish, and doesnt seem likely to get another NFL deal. The only issue I can see with him returning here is jeffcoat and WJ eat up a lot of reps. But they seemed to really make it work in the stretch with using 3 de's and moving them around a lot. He would certainly get more reps with some other teams but maybe not be in as good a position. The nfl will want to see a high level of sacks per snap he plays, and rotating which he would in the nfl any way, gives him the best chance to do that.

    The kind of luck you get during a losing streak. Stastny goes 5 hole through Koskinen and hits the heel of his skate and stays out. 2 on 1 with a stick on the ice messing up the lane, and Morrissey misses an open net and then has his stick explode leading to a 2 on 1 the other way.

    Trump has been identified as a malignant narcissist and he certainly presents as such. He is all about gathering sycophants, seeing self in grandiose terms and punishing anyone/everyone who does not worship and obey him.

    The problem with covid is that things have changed so quickly since this all started happening. A year ago everyone was worried about surface transmission and no one was wearing a mask, then it was droplets, then no it is airborne. So I don't blame people for having outdated information, but things have gone way past the initial measures that most places put in place.

    A former Georgia deputy boasted of charging Black people with felonies to make sure they lost their vote In recent months, as less and less white people support voter suppression and more and more people of color organize around gaining political power, our country has once again reached an inflection point. Republican operatives across the country, long pushing for voter suppression laws that target Black and Latino communities, have decided to be even more overt in their attempts at returning to a pre-Brown v. Board of Education, segregated America, where law enforcement can stop citizens from voting based on their skin color or perceived non-whiteness. The feeble excuse from conservative lawmakers and their handlers is that there is massive voter fraud taking place by Jews and Blacks Democratic demons. Of course, the great con here is that the people pretending that Democrats participate in massive voter fraud are usually the only ones guilty of actual elections fraud. On Wednesday, a 28-year-old former Georgia sheriff's deputy pleaded guilty to possessing "unregistered firearms resulting from an FBI-led investigation into a violent extremist group," according to the Acting U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia Peter D. Leary. Cody Richard Griggers, an ex-Wilkinson County deputy, was fired in November after the FBI contacted his sheriff about an investigation the agency was conducting on Griggers. U.S. Attorney Leary released a statement saying "Griggers clearly violated his oath with his egregious actions and has no place in law enforcement." But what Griggers did wasn't simply "possess a cache of unregistered weapons, silencers, and a machinegun, keeping many of them in his duty vehicle." An investigation of Griggers by the FBI revealed ties to a group of racist pricks calling themselves "Shadow Moses" or "Shadmo." Griggers' texts and the claims he made in this group, from his position of power in law enforcement at the time, is the real—and frightening—story. Griggers, a former Marine, is facing up to 10 years in prison for having 11 illegal firearms. But it is the nature of his violent, racist, and antisemitic texts that initially prompted his removal from the police force. According to the Belleville News-Democrat, some of the text threads include Griggers boasting, "I beat the (expletive) out of a (racial slur) Saturday. (Expletive) tried to steal (a gun magazine) from the local gun store. ... Sheriff's dept. said it looked like he fell." According to Wilkinson Sheriff Richard Chatman, who is Black, he had Griggers removed from duty when he was contacted with this information by the FBI. According to Sheriff Chatman, after investigating this claim he believes that Griggers was lying to the group in the text thread, as he could not find any evidence that this had happened. "We don't even have a gun shop here," he said. And while that is the single silver lining here, Griggers' others statements reveal the true threats posed by white supremacists and our racism-infected law enforcement system. According to the News-Democrat, the affidavit highlighted Griggers' claims to the text thread group that he planned on violating the civil rights and liberties of Georgia's Black citizens, saying that he was planning on just arresting Black folks to trump up charges. "Also I'm going to charge them with whatever felonies I can to take away their ability to vote," he claimed.
