Augustine started last year poorly but got better as the season wore on. But, yeah. looked slow and indecisive.

Bailey made a nice catch as well.

Wade can be given some slack as a newbie to the league and all the motion.

Elks seem to have deliberately crowded him last kick to try to rattle him so he would fumble.

You have something against people staring in stairwells?

Not unexpected with the changing front four but the lack of camera angles makes it difficult to assess plays. Is that specifically the running stats?

Sloppy tackling

Cornelius has a good arm- no doubt. But the running game is killing the Bombers, just like last year.

Still haven't quite gotten used to Bob Irving not calling the game.

Cannot find where to sign up. Help, please.

Prosecutors tell Trump they have a recording of him and a witness: report Prosecutors in Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial have notified the ex-president’s attorneys they have a recording of him and a witness. The notification comes in the form of an automatic discovery form, CBS News reports, which “describes the nature of the charges against a defendant and a broad overview of the evidence that prosecutors will present at Trump’s preliminary hearing or at trial.” CBS reports prosecutors have handed the recording over to Trump’s legal team. It’s not known who the witness is, nor are any details known publicly about what the conversation entails, or even if it is just audio or if it includes video.

Might not even be made at 40 Creek.

Nice of them to not string him along.

The case against a DC police lieutenant accused of helping Proud Boys is growing increasingly 'terrifying' On Friday, May 19, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Lt. Shane Lamond had been indicted on four federal criminal charges: one for obstruction of justice, three for making false statements. DOJ prosecutors allege that Lamond shared police information with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and tipped him off about a case against him: the one in which he was arrested for his part in burning a Black Lives Matter sign that had been stolen from an African-American church in late 2020. Lamond's arrest follows Tarrio's conviction in a separate case. Tarrio, along with three other members of the Proud Boys, was found guilty of seditious conspiracy for his role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol Building. In an article published on May 26, Politico's Michael Schaffer emphasizes that the allegations against Lamond are especially troubling in light of his position in the MPD. "The indicted officer is not some random beat cop," Schaffer notes. "A 24-year veteran of the department, Lamond led the Intelligence Branch of the department’s Homeland Security unit until last year, when he was suspended after coming under investigation. That investigation culminated in a May 19 obstruction of justice indictment for allegedly lying to investigators who were looking into the relationship with Tarrio…. According to prosecutors, Lamond and Tarrio communicated 500 times beginning in 2019, often via chummy exchanges." Michael Fanone, a former MPD officer who was violently attacked by Donald Trump supporters inside the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, has been sounding the alarm about far-right extremists working for police departments. Fanone, now a CNN contributor, told Politico, "I think that most law enforcement agencies in this country are scrambling to maintain the officers they have and recruit new ones to replace the hundreds that they've lost. The last thing that they're worried about is coming up with a comprehensive screening process for domestic extremism.” Schaffer warns that "the idea of even a small number of domestic extremists" being on the MPD "ought to be terrifying." https://www.alternet.org/proud-boys-2660668562/

Ohio bill protects 'conservatives' from democracy We should thank Jerry Cirino. It’s not every day that a Republican says the quiet part out loud – that when it comes to free speech, the point is not liberty for all, but liberty for some Republicans to say what they want, to force the rest of us to listen and, critically, to prevent the rest of us from talking back. The Ohio state senator spoke after the Ohio Senate passed legislation last week that, according to the Ohio Capital Journal, “focuses on what Republicans call ‘free speech,’ banning public universities in Ohio from having ‘bias’ in the classroom and limiting what ‘controversial topics’ can and can’t be taught.” The goal, reportedly, is creating “safe spaces” for “conservatives” on campus. Cirino, who sponsored the bill, said it frees people “from the pressure to agree with a single ideological perspective, which dominates our campuses today.” Cirino shouldn’t have said that. He should have said what a fellow Republican said. State Representative Josh Williams told local TV reporters that he believes that “conservatives feel discriminated against on campus.” He cited his experience at the University of Toledo’s law school. “If you had an opposing view, you would just call that individual a fascist, a Nazi, as a way of quashing their speech and making their comments and their positions irrelevant,” he said. We’re used to hearing about discrimination, but Cirino didn’t do that. Instead, Cirino said that Senate 83 would, if enacted into state law, liberate “conservatives” from “the pressure to agree” with – well, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that conservatives feel pressured. What matters is that this feeling, to these conservatives, constitutes an infringement on their rights and liberties. What matters is that these infringements demand action, even though such action will infringe someone's rights and liberties. Free speech for everyone isn’t the point. The point is ensuring that conservatives feel free.

There is little evidence of left/centrist advocacy of violence much less incidence. Fascists, by definition, hold violence as an integral option if not mandatory. I have been a socialist supporter for over 50 years and have never heard any calls for violence. By not calling out right-wing/authoritarian statements and policies as fascist, you legitimize their positions as optional social discourse. The media in the US did not identify Trump as the fascist, gynophobic, amoral monster he is and always has been and that propelled him to power and his attempted coup.

Which will not mollify PP at all.

One of the biggest failings of, most conservatives these days is that they still remember the Conservatives of 40 years ago, and these are not your father's right-wingers. The influx of extremists from fundamentalist "Christians" , conspiracy theorists, vaccine opposers, and the like have created an unholy alliance. Because the conservatives were bereft of younger, enthusiastic members and saddled with an antiquated economic and political philosophy, the decision was made to welcome them in but with the tacit understanding/hope that the newcomers would fall in line. What happened in reality was what has happened in both Britain and the US. The newcomers initially toed the line but in short order began to implement their values as they moved into key positions within the party. Some of this appears to have been happenstance, but much of it was a deliberate, methodical taking over the host body by a parasitic organism. The restraints of the former policies have been swept aside in the lust for power and there is now little pretense of moderation. The appointment of Jim McRae to a judicial post despite his open disbelief about the horrors of the residential schools is a signal to the extremists with party ranks about who is really in control and what the agenda is.

Prosecutors Have Evidence that Trump Showed Classified Docs to Others Espionage Act charges have been mentioned by a legal expert as prosecutors have gathered evidence that Trump sometimes showed classified documents to others and kept them in a place they were visible to others in his office. In a damning and well documented report in the Washington Post, we learned today: “Prosecutors in addition have gathered evidence indicating that Trump at times kept classified documents in his office in a place where they were visible and sometimes showed them to others, these people said. Taken together, the new details of the classified-documents investigation suggest a greater breadth and specificity to the instances of possible obstruction found by the FBI and Justice Department than has been previously reported.” Even during his presidency when Trump treated Mar-a-Lago like a “Winter White House” he kept no visitor logs or other system of tracking visitors. Forbes has documented a few of the thousands of visitors through a compilation of photos shared and other means, showing a range from conspiracy theorists to former European Parliament member Nigel Farage , Ray J and the former general who pleaded guilty to lying to investigators Michael Flynn (not a great person to be seeing classified documents), Roger Stone who the government accused of undermining the Russia investigation by lying about his communications with Wikileaks, intimidating a witness, and more was found guilty of seven felony counts but later pardoned by Trump, and also in addition to the usual suspects of Republicans and conservative activists were the son of Brazil’s president Eduardo Bolsonaro and Lee Dong-sup, who was a member of South Korea’s parliament in 2018. Representatives from Brazil, South Korea and Russia – check. The list is not comforting, especially from a man who made a “joke” about his bigger “red button” just last night. Over this incredibly disturbing news, former Special Counsel for the Department of Defense and co-editor-in-chief of Just Security Ryan Goodman wrote, “I expect this will result in Espionage Act charges. Dissemination is key.” https://www.politicususa.com/2023/05/25/prosecutors-have-evidence-that-trump-showed-classified-docs-to-others.html

'He’s gonna get charged': Experts predict Espionage Act violations for Trump after bombshell WaPo report Citing a just-published Washington Post report, top legal experts are predicting the U.S. Dept. of Justice will charge Donald Trump, and those charges will include obstruction and violations of the Espionage Act. The Washington Post Thursday afternoon reported the ex-president had classified documents unprotected in his Mar-a-Lago office, showed classified documents to people visiting his Mar-a-Lago office, and held a “dress rehearsal” for moving documents around even before receiving a DOJ subpoena, and before the FBI executed a search warrant to retrieve classified and top secret documents. “Two of Donald Trump’s employees moved boxes of papers the day before FBI agents and a prosecutor visited the former president’s Florida home to retrieve classified documents in response to a subpoena — timing that investigators have come to view as suspicious and an indication of possible obstruction, according to people familiar with the matter,” The Washington Post report reads. “Trump and his aides also allegedly carried out a ‘dress rehearsal’ for moving sensitive papers even before his office received the May 2022 subpoena, according to the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive ongoing investigation.” “Prosecutors in addition have gathered evidence indicating that Trump at times kept classified documents in his office in a place where they were visible and sometimes showed them to others, these people said.” Ryan Goodman, an NYU School of Law professor of law, and international and national security law expert, pointed to that last sentence from the Post and wrote, “I expect this will result in Espionage Act charges. Dissemination is key.” MSNBC anchor and legal contributor Katie Phang, responding to the Washington Post report, tweeted one word in all-caps: “OBSTRUCTION.” But Goodman goes even further. “The reported facts are now far beyond just an obstruction case,” he says. “Willfully disseminating to third parties is also easily distinguishable from Pence, Biden, other instances in which DOJ has declined to prosecute.” Goodman adds: “Trump’s reported conduct of RETAINING classified documents is already more serious than average case in which Justice Department DOES indict. COMMUNICATING or TRANSMITTING classified documents to third parties is considered much more egregious.”

Probably thinks it refers to a plan for interior design theme.

Trump Staffers Moved Boxes of Docs a Day Before FBI Raid: Report Two of Donald Trump’s employees allegedly moved boxes of papers just a day before the FBI descended on Mar-a-Lago to retrieve classified documents, The Washington Post reports. The paper cites unnamed sources as saying Trump and his aides even carried out a “dress rehearsal” for moving sensitive documents well before receiving a May 2022 subpoena from the Justice Department. If true, the details would strengthen investigators’ case against Trump for potential obstruction of justice and could shed light on his intent in taking the documents with him once he left the White House.

Arizona GOP holds QAnon hearings attempting to expose so-called COVID-19 'atrocities': report Arizona Senate Republicans began a two-day convening of hearings Thursday morning centered around "supposed 'atrocities' committed by public health officials in response to the Covid-19 pandemic," Rolling Stone reports. Planned by the newly formed Novel Coronavirus South Western Intergovernmental Committee (NCSWIC), "the QAnon-inflected, anti-vaccine circus" according to Rolling Stone, will involve "appearances from a murderers' row of hard-right federal congressmen, including Reps. Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, and Eli Crane." Additionally, the publication reports "The NCSWIC committee will take testimony from a panel of notorious doctors who have touted unproven and discredited treatments for Covid — including one doc who preaches that Covid public-health restrictions were, in fact, 'Satan's Wholistic Health Care Plan.'" In 2021, according to AZCentral, Arizona State GOP Senator Ron Johnson tweeted a false claim saying, "in England, more vaccinated than unvaccinated individuals are succumbing to the disease." Additionally, Arizona Republican Party Chair Dr. Kelli Ward retweeted the claim. AZCentral reported, "According to the latest studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention individuals who are unvaccinated are 11 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than those who are vaccinated," adding, "Likewise, vaccinated individuals are five times less likely to get infected and 10 less likely to end up in the hospital if they do."
