This Defence is gonna be something to watch. Holy crap.

This guy looks NFL level good on that highlight video. bulldozing people, and quick. and high energy. five foot eleven. their loss our gain.

This woman, and Joe Biden want a "measured" approach to climate change. They really are over the hill. Pelosi is more interested in getting campaign money, than in doing what's needed. She should retire.

Thanks for the training camp in person stuff.

Thanks, that's what I was trying to say. Not just their duties in general, the one that is specifically mentioned in their oath when they take office.

Trump is done. He doesn't have a hand to play. Women will not vote for him. Blacks and Hispanics will not vote for him. HIs "base" doesn't care about anything except one thing. They are beyond reach, racist, deeply ingorant, willing to put up with anything as long as blacks and hispanics are kept down. Figuring out what to do based on what those scum want, is wrong in every way. what they think or do is irrelevant. Their party can have them. Calculating votes, and figuring out how to attract them is morally wrong, and politically stupid. He's spitting on them, their voters, the American system of government. Does he have to confess to murder, to get impeached?

This guy Pigseye has violated the conduct rules continuosly. Part of this, is posting something, then not responding, as in this case, when the post is challenged and refuted, which leads me to think his posts are not in good faith. 2. Members are expected to behave in a reasonable manner and with a spirit of goodwill, and opinions should be posted and read in good faith. 9. Posting rumours or unsubstantiated news as fact may result in a ban or suspension.

Pressure growing on washout Pelosi. step up or step aside Nancy. Trump is betting again on simple math, on Congress running out of time ahead of the 2020 election. That is, unless more Democrats like Rhode Island congressman David Cicilline run out of patience first.

https://trib.com/business/energy/officials-coal-s-slide-to-continue-in-us-as-renewables/article_3f194268-5e4b-5cf2-8706-551af86def90.html#tncms-source=infinity-scroll-summary-siderail-latest BILLINGS, Mont. — U.S. demand for coal to generate electricity will keep sliding in the coming months, federal officials said Thursday, despite efforts by the Trump administration to shore up the struggling industry. Renewable energy sources including wind, solar and hydropower are expected to fill much of the gap left by coal's decline, according to the Energy Information Administration. It's particularly true for Western states, where renewables will provide almost a quarter of the power to households and businesses during the peak summer season, the agency said in its projections. Natural gas is expected to remain the fuel of choice for power generation with an expected 40 percent share of U.S. markets this summer. Under President Donald Trump, officials have sought to ease coal plant regulations and mining restrictions. But after production briefly bumped up the year after Trump took office, almost all coal mining states are now experiencing production declines.

"executives" ... wonder who that was. https://digbysblog.blogspot.com/

man is he quick, elusive, and plain fast.

What a surprise. Wrong information from that poster. He is invariably wrong. Is he honestly deluded, or posting misleading information without caring whether it's accurate or not? I would think someone doing the latter might rate getting suspended for a while, polite or not. in other news https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/the-energy-transition-comes-home-to-indiana "Large Centralized assets could become a bad deal"..... goodbye nuclear. So many things wrong with it, good riddance.

it is tough to keep up with the madness of King Donald. Working for him must be absolute hell.

When the truth about the imbecile Trump is told, it's going to be worse than we already know. This is what he spends his time thinking about. I hope somebody sane has the guts to keep the nuclear codes away from this dimwitt.

If the Bombers are as good as the movie Gattaca, they will win the Grey Cup! Very good movie.

looks like the US media is on board for an attack on Iran. Heard on the radio last night, about how this was needed. Now CNN. Rating bump. USA is by far the biggest threat to world peace.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) confronted a CEO Thursday for pricing a drug designed to reduce the risk of HIV transmission at $8 in Australia but over $1,500 in the U.S. "You're the CEO of Gilead. Is it true that Gilead made $3 billion in profits from Truvada in 2018?" Ocasio-Cortez asked Gilead CEO Daniel O'Day. "$3 billion in revenue," he clarified. "The current list price is $2,000 a month in the United States, correct?" she asked, referring to Truvada. "It's $1,780 in the United States," O'Day responded. "Why is it $8 in Australia?" Ocasio-Cortez countered. "Truvada still has patent protection in the United States and in the rest of the world it is generic," O'Day explained. "I think it's important here that we notice that we the public, we the people, developed this drug. We paid for this drug, we lead and developed all the patents to create Prep and then that patent has been privatized despite the fact that the patent is owned by the public, who refused to enforce it," Ocasio-Cortez said. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/444091-ocasio-cortez-confronts-ceo-for-nearly-2k-price-tag-on-drug-that-costs-8-in

Charles Nelson also played in the defensive backfield in university, quite a bit I think. Little I saw of him last season he looked like he made very quick cuts and would be really hard to cover.

This guy is hilarious.

A new Utah nonprofit says it’s ready to combat drug shortages and price gouging, now that hundreds of hospitals have joined forces to form their own drug company and ensure a steady supply of some needed medications. Civica Rx — introduced earlier this year as Project Rx — will begin selling 14 generic drugs to hospitals next year, according to the organization's CEO and administrators from Intermountain Healthcare, which helped launch the project. "It only takes one generic company [to stabilize] a market if they are acting without a profit motive," said Intermountain executive and former Utah state senator Dan Liljenquist at a news conference Thursday. Intermountain is joining six other health care systems, representing some 500 hospitals, to set up long-term purchase agreements with "trusted manufacturing partners," said Civica CEO Martin VanTrieste, retired chief quality officer for the pharmaceutical giant Amgen. Civica is starting with 14 generic drugs, but organizers won’t say which ones until they are ready to sell. The drugs were chosen from more than 200 identified by doctors and hospital administrators as crucial for saving lives, but vulnerable to shortages and dramatic price spikes — especially those caused by what VanTrieste described as deliberate ploys by some drugmakers to exploit desperate patients. https://www.sltrib.com/news/2018/09/06/fighting-drugmakers-that/
