Carter only sat on the ankle for a short time. Carter looked busy for most of the third period against an active bottom man who was difficult to turn. It reminded me of a 'stalling on top, it's a problem' discussion as an example where it was not a problem. Highlights from Pat Milkovich for the 'stalling on top its a problem' discussion from March 2021 below and and

Mekhi doesn't try to ride Carter, and that's been the difference in both losses. Carter is tough on top.

I am slightly right and generally believe that the best government is the one that governs the least. The best rules are the natural rules. There are a few examples where the least amount of taxes are warranted for a healthier, happier society (health, education, military, housing, and transportation as examples). I vote based on leadership and policies over party lines. Some comments in return. Marriage This could be a non-issue if the tax incentives were independent of civil/marriage unions The majority believe that marriage is a religious union. Nonreligious couples should advocate for the government to replace the term marriage with civil unions in all of its government documentation and regulations per separation of church and state. Regulations The challenge is with determining what qualifies as 'whenever necessary.' It is silly to require my child to have a permit to sell lemonade at our house during a yard sale. It would be an undue burden to require me to only drive vehicles that meet propane-only standards, effective December 1st this year. The FDA is needed, but it certainly is slow and costly Voting No registration should be required. Only those who provide an ID can vote. Elections should be 100% end-to-end auditable.

3M of 330M U.S. citizens (1%) die annually. The causes of death are not limited to: Heart disease - 700K Cancer - 600K Omitted stroke, respiratory, kidney, Alzheimer's, flu, covid, diabetes, etc., from 50K to 350K each. Accidental drug overdose/poison - 85K Vehicle accident - 40K Homicide by firearm - 19K Abortion - 900K+ (included for visibility; this category is excluded from citizen death count) 0.5% of deaths are caused by homicide from a firearm. The average citizen has a 0.006% chance of dying from an idiot with a gun. Your chance of death from a public mass shooting is 0.0~% while over 80M citizens own guns and over 400M guns exist in the U.S. WTF do people focus on a blip of priorities? Media and stupidity. Leaders should focus on affordability and access to healthy foods and lifestyles.

Data from Texas signals that fewer illegal immigrants are caught committing crimes (including violence) than citizens. Is it because these are ambitious, high-character people seeking a better life? Possibly. Eliminating reported crime rates within a social circle would reduce crime rates substantially for any population group. For immigrants living under the fear of deportation, it is natural that they do not report crimes against themselves concerning assault, domestic abuse, and theft. Every illegal immigrant is a criminal most at risk for deportation when caught committing a non-immigration crime. Fear peddling about illegal immigrant violent crime goes in one ear and out the other. I trust the data that crime against citizens is not a concern. I also trust the information that illegal immigration is a tax burden and undermines legal immigration. I'm unsure if illegal immigrants have indirectly stolen blue-collar jobs by accepting low wages. There definitely are cultural differences that can have a negative impact on society (like with the treatment of women); however, that is equally true with legal immigration.

Some KC crime entertainment. Wait for it.

We argue stupidly by using edge examples as representatives for left vs right stereotypes. How would you change these opinions to match the population majority? Abortion There are situations where it should be legal and situations where it should be illegal. Education Every citizen should have access to affordable public education from preschool through college. Environment Policy Regulations are situationally necessary. Gay Rights A citizen's sexual preference must not affect one's rights and benefits. Government Spending A balanced budget and low debt are more important than social safety nets. Gun Rights Every citizen has a right to bear arms. Regulations better enable public and personal safety. Health Care Every citizen should have access to affordable health care. Immigration Legal immigration is good, and there should be fewer restrictions on legal immigration. We should reduce illegal immigration. Military There are larger local problems to solve than to police the world. Personal Responsibility Each adult has more responsibility than anyone else and the government for their own life's success. Regulations Government regulations hinder free-market capitalism and job growth; therefore, while needed, should be used sparingly to protect consumers and the environment. Death Penalty While a low percentage of innocent people are wrongfully convicted, there are situations where convicted criminals should be dispatched. Taxes What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue. -Thomas Paine Voting Major elections should be a government holiday to maximize participation. IDs and citizenship must be a requirement to vote.

Yes. I had Elam winning 197 last year but Buchanan was too good.

Warner looks better than I've seen him in that loss. Expected Missouri to win bigger.

Lewan won with strength and positioning. I missed that pick.

I had McGee winning by two takedowns. Byrd looks good.

How hard is it really to bridge the other way out of bounds?

Disclaimer: Not a Trump fan. Is this a figurative "call to violence?"

Let's say you are on a sports team with 14 people, and 3 of the 14 experience a vehicle theft-type crime within a few months of each other, at different locations, for the first and only time in their life. Coincidence?

The year isn't even over... KC

It is hard to argue with the lifetime of one's personal experience. Two months later, my FIL went to the Ozarks and found his boat had been drained of 200 gallons of gas. None of us five victims had experienced this before in our 40+ years of life. Suddenly we all do within a couple of months of each other. How weird. Not all of us reported it to the police because we've observed that nothing would happen anyway.

It cracks me up when people talk about violent crime being down while excluding the worse type of violence, murder.

In KC. I sent my young boy alone to grab the cooler from my truck during a rec baseball game this past July. Some criminal was under the truck stealing my gas. It cost me $800 to tow, repair, etc. I am thankful the dude was leaving just before my son got there, as there was no chance for violence toward my son. Within two weeks, two local friends had their Catalytic Converters stolen. In the same month, my buddy's car was broken into in California. Crime is up, in my experience!

Fun.

Twitter was partly to blame for this tribalism. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/20/politics/democrat-republican-hate-tribalism/index.html

Of course but not to that extent. Interesting - unroll this tweet https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1347524609701195777.html
