One week after agreeing to a deal to lure the Washington Commanders back into the city, the District of Columbia received more good news -- it will host the 2027 NFL draft, a source familiar with the situation confirmed to ESPN on Sunday night.
An official announcement is expected at the White House on Monday. The draft is expected to be held on the National Mall, where the Washington Monument stands. Axios first reported the news.

Rumors about the NFL hosting the 2027 draft in DC started leaking out over the weekend with a supposed announcement today. I'd guess that this announcement has something to do with that. Maybe they're hosting the draft on the national mall or in front of the Capitol building.

Trump orders 100% tariff on foreign-made movies to save 'dying' Hollywood
This is stupid. If Hollywood is "dying" then its by their own doing, not because China is producing cheaply made content that US based productions can't compete with.
Hollywood has 2 problems: they suck at coming up with new and original stories that are interesting. And they take existing IP's that should be guaranteed money printers, but they turn off big chunks of the existing fan base because they added in woke messaging, DEI casting choices, and some lefty producer's "new take" on the characters...so the fan base that made the IP so popular to begin with ends up tuning out.
re: Worst Mayor in America: Teedy worked under 17 hours a week in 2024..

Is Teedy a manifestation of the adage:
“Ppl get the govt they deserve.”?
Are the people of Nola so ignorant, so lethargic, so complacent that her leadership is the result?
Yes.
She's term limited and the election to replace her is this fall. One of the 2 leading candidates in that race is a councilman who previously resigned his seat in disgrace after being busted in a federal bribery investigation. Spent a few years in jail for it, then got elected back to the city council again a few years ago and now is running for mayor.
NOLA gets what it deserves.

The Presidential fitness program and test was a big deal. Obama killed the test and pushed move which was worse
What was the reasoning for getting rid of that test? Because they didn’t want to hurt the feelings of the fat kids who couldn’t walk/run a mile or do any push ups or sit ups?

When we were a serious nation, presidents didn’t hand out pre-emptive pardons for their family members and political allies for possible crimes that they had never even been charged with, let alone convicted

I think Prime has them too, but not 100% sure since I cancelled that subscription until there’s some new shows or seasons to lure me back in.

I just looked it up. I have never seen that, so it must not be in the versions regularly shown on TV.
TV broadcasts only show the original theatrical release. There's extended editions that add about 40-45 minutes on average for each film.
HBO Max has all 3 films in both the regular and extended editions. If you've never seen them before, do yourself a favor and watch the extended versions

quote:Was the flashback scene with Boromir, Faramir, and Denethor when Gondor retakes Osgiliath before Boromir gets sent to Rivendell only in the extended version? That scene shows plenty of redeeming quality for Boromir and gives some backstory as to why he would want The One ring for Gondor to use as a weapon
All I know is what was shown in the movie. His only redeeming moment came at death. What was shown was a terrible person.

quote:A lot of agencies won’t do that because it becomes an E&O exposure for them. Once you set the precedent that you’ll call someone to remind them to pay their bill that the company already mailed or emailed them, now you pretty much have to call them every time a bill is due and keep a record/log of those call attempts.
You don;t think it would be courteous of your agent to at least call and tell you that so you would know?
The first time you’re out sick, on vacation, or something just slips through the cracks and that customer doesn’t get a phone call about their bill and a policy lapses and either can’t be reinstated or there’s a loss after the lapse, their attorney is going to have a field day against the agency’s E&O.

Not in my neighborhood. All we need is the orange triangle.
Gated neighborhood by chance? If so, the "street legal" rules don't apply since its private roads. HOA basically sets the rules in a gated subdivision.
But if you're riding on public roads, you need to have seatbelts, rear view mirrors, turn signals, brake lights, headlights, and a speedometer to be street legal. And it needs to be registered and have liability insurance just like a regular car. They're considered "low speed vehicles" to be street legal. At least that's how it is in Louisiana and Florida.
ETA: maybe I'm partially wrong. LA requires all of the other equipment I listed, but I don't see seat belt on the LA last. Florida's requirements do list seatbelts for every seat though.

social media companies would be banned from allowing people in Texas under 18-years-old to create accounts
Or is Texas going to make the social media companies require age verification whenever someone from out of state visits Texas and opens a social media app?

Why else would CBS News want to do a nationally televised interview with him? A football coach writing a book isn’t that newsworthy. Stevie Wonder could have seen that it was inevitable that the interviewer was going to try to ask questions about his girlfriend because that’s the current Belichick story that will get viewers to tune in.

So, you think insurance companies dont defend against lawsuits? They do, and some of the lawyers that do that work are pretty good.
They usually only really put up a serious defense if its a policy with high limits that the plaintiff is seeking a massive payout on.
Every day I see claim history reports that show vehicle / property damage payouts where the dollar amount is equal to barely more than a paint scrape, but the bodily injury payout is in the tens of thousands...often equal to policy limits on a lower limit policy. Its cheaper to settle than to fight and risk still losing in most cases.

Yes, you are correct but some areas didn't suffer the mass destruction of the flooding.
Was there much wind damage up there? All that really made the news down here was images of the flooding.

Isn't almost all the Helene damage in NC related to flooding? If so, that's the federal government slow playing. National Flood Insurance Program is administered by FEMA.
Private insurance companies, Allstate among many others, can "write" policies through the NFIP but they act as little more than a service provider for FEMA on those policies. FEMA controls the purse strings and makes all the rules.
