Because if we do get rid of it, our ports and rivers will be filled with Chinese and Indian mariners running into bridges, dumping oil and spying on the US. We won’t have a merchant marine and China will have the upper hand in moving troops and supplies.
The Jones Act is a band aid until the US wakes up and starts building our own ships and trains our young men and women to work at sea.
My lab ate a sock, when they did the X-ray they found all sorts of other things it ate, bread ties, pen caps.
The election was held during a government shutdown. Lots of time for government workers to get out and vote.
Plus, Sears wasn’t a great candidate at the top of the ticket. She lacked charisma and came off poorly.
Unfortunately, Jay Jones won the attorney general spot ahead of Miyares who was a good candidate and will be a good candidate for governor in 4 years.

I think subsidizing day care increases the costs for those not getting subsidies. The military just increased their childcare subsidy payment and now daycare in my area now charges the same amount as the subsidy, increasing the price for those not subsidized.

We dont let NFL players move from team to team at their whim every year. They sign contracts which lock them into place somewhat. Schools and conferences can and should have contractual rules that players have to abide by


I think the NCAA is trying to avoid this because it would make them employees of the school. But, it seems like this is where it’s going to.
When Saban was coaching people started going to Mass so they could see him, now Baton Rouge is going to to start getting a lot more flexible.
All these Minnesota politicians should be charged with RICO. I would say get the lower tiered criminals to flip, but a judge will just overturn their jury convictions anyway.
Actually, about 15 years the Coast Guard had personnel become SEALs, after a few years they decided to just transfer them over to the Navy.

They do have TACLET teams embarked on Navy ships to conduct maritime boardings.

However, if they are in pursuit of this tanker that probably has a maximum speed of 13-15 knots I’m surprised they haven’t gotten to it yet.

Jeremy Hill would've also had 1000 yards, regardless of the coach. He was a baller.


Kenny Hilliard and Patterson played Jeremy Hill & Redemptorist on ESPNU. Great match up. I think Hill had some legal issues and entered LSU a year late.
The officials usually confirm with the coach prior to the game/ half time.

My coach in HS deferred in the first half and chose to kick in the second half. We were playing in a monsoon and felt field position was more important and ended up being correct.
Plus it will give them experience game planning and play calling in a playoff game

It's Toledo I will temper my excitement for now.


Toledo and Mount Union have produced some quality coaches,

Matt Campbell Iowa St

Jason Candle (Toledo HC)
Nick Sirianni ( Super Bowl champion coach)
Alex Grinch
Eliminating the ethanol mandate would greatly reduce ag prices. But it is a political third rail.

Years in the future I predict it will be accepted that more likely than not Trump won the 2020 election just as sure as it is widely accepted that the CIA killed Kennedy.



I was reading Truman’s biography and they talked about how he won his first statewide election. He had to payoff some political boss in St Louis who got his boys to vote multiple times. 100 years later this is looked at just as a fact of life and how business was done back then.
Was in San Diego last year during March Madness. Walked into a bar, saw they had basketball on, then realized it was the NIT tournament on every TV.
I think they told the ditzy bartender to just keep it on ESPN.
Will it prevent blindness, that seemed to be one of the biggest issues with my dogs as they aged.
I’m far from a leftist, but it is a slippery slope to start ‘overhearing’ people’s conversations leading to an arrest. It sets a dangerous precedent for when the other side is in power.

quote:

Happy O’Brien, an attorney for Mark Bennett, refuted that characterization, saying his client never used those words and had planned a trip to Las Vegas to attend a Formula One event with his son prior to having the Nov. 15 conversation with his brother.?According to the brothers’ attorneys, the statement made by Thorpe is the only evidence against the brothers they are aware of. Virginia Beach Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Lang offered no additional evidence during the hearings. He said federal agents are still analyzing the brothers’ phones and personal electronics.


If the FBI does find something on their phones or computers then by all means lock them up.
His name was actually James Bennet. The principal at Kempsville High School.

quote:

According to a news release from the Virginia Beach Police Department, John W. Bennett, 54, and Mark Bennett, 59, both of Virginia Beach, each face one charge of conspiracy to commit malicious wounding. Mark Bennett was arrested at at Norfolk International Airport. John Bennett was arrested in Virginia Beach about an hour later, police said.

While I don’t agree with his sentiments, the evidence against him is a little flimsy. He was overheard talking about attacking ICE agents at a bar. He claims he was joking.
If being overheard saying something at a bar is the evidence then we are going down a strange path.

According to the complaint, an off-duty Norfolk police officer, identified in the documents as B. Thorpe, overheard a conversation between the brothers while they were having lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant on Nov. 15.

re: Youth sports (overall Importance)?

Depends on the sport. IMO, a sport like wrestling teaches discipline, builds confidence and instills a work ethic that will serve them well in life. Absolutely. A good beat down on the mats is a huge character builder.


In youth wrestling I’ve seen kids go 0-20 their first year and then win the state in their third year after working incredibly hard. Imagine that life lesson.

I have also seen that kids that excel at certain sports excel in the classroom, cross country, swimming, wrestling.
The fact she is 19 creates a lot of treatment issues. HIPPA basically removes the parents from the equation and makes the situation more difficult lay recommendation is to find a NAMI chapter and discuss your issues and they can provide some advice as to how to proceed in your location.
A couple of years ago the Waste Management CEO said he couldn’t find enough garbage truck drivers while paying over 100k a year. However, he has no shortage of office applications making 60k a year.


But, If you are a 20 year old do you want to start low and build a future career or be capped as a garbage truck driver.
