1. Bo-Levi ain't goin' nowhere. 2. What to say about the Riders in general and Dickinson in particular? Dickinson can't even properly call out "his" team for crappy attitude and play, and as an encore, he can't even walk his comments back properly. Pathetic. And this was once a proud franchise. How have the mighty fallen! / '

Russia. They are trying to make a violent gesture to convince Europeans how serious and deadly they are. Sort of the equivalent of a gorilla beating a tree trunk to intimidate others.

I like this. A lot. Gives me some hope for the American judicial system.

PM me.

Same old stories- lying Tories. Or what passes for Tories these days.

The technology is relatively new, somewhat imperfect but evolving There is still the odd glitch- momentary freezing and such, but for about $10.00 per month, its hard to go wrong.

There is a direct relationship between supportive government social services and taxation. That said, no one, but one in any administration, civil, provincial or federal should be above scrutiny.

That is the more realistic scenario.

If you have high-speed internet, consider IPTV.

And yet all of the European-Nordic-Asian (etc) countries that have significantly or greatly higher tax rates consistently report satisfaction rates of citizens much higher than the US with lower rates of violent crime, infant mortality, maternal mortality and higher life expectancy than America. Apart from material possessions and funding the ultra-rich, I cannot see much advantage to the American capitalist model. Whatever Americans save on initial taxes they lose through healthcare costs, higher tuition, exorbitant utility costs and other delayed living costs. Moreover, the societal distress and conflict from all of the inequality has even greater costs to societies.

'We have incredible things': Trump surprised NYT reporter last year by boasting he kept White House docs Former President Donald Trump surprised New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman by casually mentioning that he had kept White House documents after leaving office. The New York Times reporter revealed in her forthcoming book, “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” that the former president told her Sept. 16, 2021, at his club in Bedminster, New Jersey, that he mentioned that he had held onto some government records that should have been sent to the National Archives, according to excerpts published by Axios. “He demurred when I asked if he had taken any documents of note upon departing the White House — ‘nothing of great urgency, no,’ he said, before mentioning the letters that Kim Jong-un had sent him, which he had showed off to so many Oval Office visitors that advisers were concerned he was being careless with sensitive material,” Haberman reported. Haberman expressed surprise that he took those letters, which he eventually returned months later after the National Archives demanded them. “He kept talking, seeming to have registered my surprise, and said, ‘No, I think that’s in the archives, but … Most of it is in the archives, but the Kim Jong-un letters … We have incredible things,'” Haberman wrote. The FBI searched Trump’s home last month at Mar-a-Lago, where they seized more than 11,000 documents and 1,800 other items, including about 100 classified materials — including some marked “top secret,” and the search warrant shows investigators believe he may have violated the Espionage Act and other laws. https://www.alternet.org/2022/09/trump-white-house-2658341468/

Older Adults Who Had COVID May Be More At Risk For Alzheimer's Disease Though SARS-CoV-2 was originally thought to be a respiratory virus, it’s become increasingly clear that the virus can have serious consequences on brain health. Many people have experienced neurological symptoms — like loss of taste and smell, headache and memory and attention issues— while infected, and most people who develop long COVID experience brain fog and cognitive problems like reduced concentration. Now, new research suggests that COVID may increase our risk of developing brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, too. The study, which was published this month in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, found that older adults who were infected with COVID had a 50 to 80% higher chance of developing Alzheimer’s compared to people who’d never had COVID. Doctors don’t think that COVID directly causes Alzheimer’s as much as it unmasks underlying illness or speeds up disease that’s already simmering. Scientists are still learning about the ways in which COVID can impact our ability to learn, remember, focus and perceive, but research suggests that infections, in general, can have a serious impact on our cognitive function, not only in the short term but in the long term as well. “These findings are not surprising to me since there is increasing understanding that medical stressors, from surgery to urinary tract infections, can lead to abrupt declines in cognitive abilities called ‘delirium’ or ‘encephalopathy,’ which is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for subsequent dementia diagnosis,” Dr. Joshua Cahan, an assistant professor of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, told HuffPost. The researchers evaluated the health records of 6.2 million adults age 65 and older who had received medical treatment between February 2020 and May 2020. At the start of the study, no one had previously been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The individuals were split into two groups: people who had COVID (over 400,000) and people who had not (about 5.8 million). The research team found that that the risk of getting Alzheimer’s doubled, from 0.35% to 0.68%, among those who had COVID. The risk was greatest in women who were 85 and older.

What are the flat-earthers going to complain about now?

If you lie down with dogs, you are gonna get fleas.

Wouldn't blame Hickson if he staged this- anything to get away from the manure spreader of a team.

Absolutely but Poilievre has reaped what he has sown. He has flirted with the extremists and one of the two men accused was brought onstage with Poilievre a few months ago and was photographed with him. Apparently the bone they had to pick with Poilievre was that Pierre's wife was from South America (not aboriginal as some have claimed to indicate he is not racist) and not a native-born Canadian. In an interview, one said they had been drinking but in the segment aired on CBC news, they both seemed pretty sober.

No end of stoopid people willing to give money to hear someone pretend they are as stupid.

Tucker knows his people.

Don't post numbers like that. Rider fans are uneasy around double digits and experience anxiety attacks when confronted with anything bigger than two digits.

I will cry myself to sleep tonight.

Another cherry for the top of the Rider turdcake.

Trump Mentally Collapses And Claims Every Investigation Is A Conspiracy Trump is trying to rationalize his entire life collapsing under the weight of investigations by claiming they are all a conspiracy against him. Trump wrote on Truth Social: This is a giant Scam, a sick continuation of the Greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. History. A complete Weaponization of the Justice Department & FBI, and includes Democrat D.A.’s & A.G.’s. Controlled by the same people that brought you Russia, Russia, Russia, Mueller, Impeachment Hoax 1, Impeachment Hoax 2, and more. The American people will not stand for “Weaponization” any longer! The investigations are all separate and independent, but the only that Donald Trump can package them and dismiss them to his followers is to claim that they are all part of a vast conspiracy. It isn’t that Trump is a criminal. It’s that everyone is out to get Donald Trump. The investigation and lawsuit in New York for financial crimes and fraud have nothing to do with the investigation in Fulton County, which is centered on Trump’s potential violations of Georgia election law, which has nothing to do with Trump’s potential mishandling of classified documents that are being investigated by the Justice Department, which has nothing to do with Trump’s potential crimes when he tried to overthrow the government. The investigations aren’t a witchhunt. They represent a pattern of criminality. Trump is mentally collapsing because he could be facing financial ruin. Congress is getting set to pass legislation to block his potential avenues to a coup, and the classified documents case could result in criminal charges.. If New York comes after Trump for everything that is owed, he will be financially destroyed. Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen said that the state of New York could be looking to recover $750 million to $1 billion in penalties and fines Cohen said when asked if the New York case against Trump will go to trial: "They had opportunities to settle. We don’t know what the facts behind that t are. However, the 250 million pursuant to the 200-page indictment by — — just our unshakable attorney general is the base that she is looking for. That’s not the ceiling. We’re talking about anywhere, in about anywhere my estimation based upon the documents that I know the attorney general has, I suspect are probably looking at somewhere between 750 million to one billion dollars in penalties and fines." Cohen pointed out that these are financial and tax crimes that Trump has potentially committed and the numbers don’t lie, so unlike other cases against Trump where it is his word against someone else’s, the problem here is a mountain of written evidence and documents laying out the fraud that was committed. If New York tries to recover a billion dollars against Trump, it will financially ruin the former president, his family, and his business. Trump has an estimated $900 million in loans that are coming due from 2022-2024. His businesses have been failing for years, as his main source of revenue was fundraising, and when he was president, grifting off of the taxpayers and using his position to make money. If New York comes after Trump for everything that is owed, he will be financially destroyed.

There are some encouraging that some of traditionally GOP voters, even in swing states have finally seen Trump for the wouldbe tyrant and grifter he is and always has been.

And where is Kongbo these days?

Massie sounds promising- a little on the small side but apparently very quick and plays right to the whistle.
