The biggest in-game difference I have noticed between him and Paul is that I never get the sense that Jay is leaving his pitcher in too long. As soon as I start to notice that the other team might be figuring out our pitcher, and that he’s starting to struggle, Jay calls for a pitching change. Under Paul, he would frequently pull pitchers that were dominating only to let another pitcher languish on the mound while they were struggling, giving up 4-6 runs before making a change.
Jay’s staff seems to make the pitcher decisions at the right moment at a much higher rate than any coach I have seen.

As I have said, the economy really isn’t doing great, and I tire of partisan cheerleaders trying to gaslight us by saying everything is great.
You mean other than the aquarium, the field museum, a beach, Millennium Park…
His is a terrible idea. Soldier Field is the most ideally located NFL stadium outside of New Orleans.

Diego Garcia would be pretty useful for striking Iran, as would Cyprus.
I see things moving in a positive direction economically, but I wouldn’t exactly spike the football saying things are great out there right now.

Blacks run the concrete finishing profession. If you see anyone other than a black guy finishing a concrete slab, you know it’s going to be done wrong.
Different ethnicities tend to perform different specialty trades for some reason. Crackers are electrical and HVAC guys, Hispanics are insulators and scaffold builders. Welders are whiny b$&@es. Roofers, ironworkers, and carpenters can be anyone.

It’s definitely worse, but the 10 Commandments stuff is dumb too.

This is all the fault of teachers unions and administrators who’s hands are tied by federal funding incentives, which prevents any enforcement of discipline, protecting students from any and all consequences of their actions.
re: Recent polling shows nearly 53% of Democrats consider themselves Democratic Socialists

Democratic socialism is just an intellectually honest version of our current system where capitalism is still the default economic system, representative democracy is still the form of government, but the government has a larger welfare system that is more unified, connected, and available for all citizens.
What democrats want is:
Universal healthcare via the single payer model (no insurance companies, all public run).
Universal pre-k/daycare for all pre-school aged children so that parents can go back to work after parental leave is expended.)
Universal public schools (all public, no private schools, no tuition, free lunch for all students)
Universal higher education (all public, no tuition, access based on merit/ability)
More european style standards of leave for workers (guaranteed maternity leave, more guaranteed vacation days, stronger worker protections).
Retirement benefits guaranteed by government rather than private employers.
Basically, the idea is that the government has cradle to grave entitlements which take care of your education, healthcare, and retirement independent of your employer. Your employer, in exchange for no longer having to provide those things, gives the worker significantly more PTO and parental leave.
This is what the average democrat wants. On its face, it seems quite reasonable until one starts to seriously examine how much it would cost to do

I 100% agree with cash bail. We need higher cash bails for violent crime, not less.

Much better to find a woman at church.
People say this, but I don’t think they understand how few single women go to church and how few social opportunities exist for single people within the structure of church services. It really isn’t a place for an adult to meet anyone you don’t already know and aren’t related to. Maybe it used to be, but it hasn’t been for decades.
I was there. I really liked one of the new songs they played.
“Lonely is the Night” by Billy Squire, “Tell Me What You Want” by Zebra, and “Working Man” by Rush sound like Led Zeppelin.
JD is better for Domestic affairs. Rubio has things handled from a foreign policy standpoint. I would prefer my president be domestic focused, however, a team of the two would be dynamite.
I’m sure SCOTUS will expedite it for hearing rather than drag it out

I knew with how wild the Epstein stuff was getting that war in Iran was inevitable. The political class badly needs the biggest distraction possible to save themselves from the guillotine.
Might be to clear his record for getting buildings named after him?
