https://spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-texas-el-paso/news/2024/02/22/oklahoma-police-say-nonbinary-teen-s-death-was-not-result-of-injuries-from-high-school-fight Police in the suburban Tulsa community of Owasso are investigating the death of 16-year-old Nex Benedict, whose family said identified as nonbinary and used they/them pronouns. Although the cause of death has not been determined, Owasso police said in a statement preliminary autopsy results indicate the teen did not die as a result of injuries sustained in the fight. “At this time, any further comments on the cause of death are currently pending until toxicology results and other ancillary testing results are received,” the statement says. I guess we will have to wait and see. Death not due to trauma. So what caused her death? I guess we will see after the full autopsy report is available. mspart

You know, when you lie you have to remember exactly what the lie was. When there are too many because you are an untrustworthy person, you can't keep up and you see what happened today. It should be so embarrassing that they are caught up in this corruption scandal due to their own acts. This could have all been avoided if they had just not. Be professionals and just don't. The boss should not be having sex with the employee. When did they not hear this? And she is the DA, she should know this. But it was disregarded because it couldn't be applied to them. This is a cut and dried case of appearance of corruption and that can't have a place in the justice system. Everything has to be above board. They are giving Fani way too much credit on this, trying to prove that this does not have the appearance of corruption. Well it does and that is that. mspart

When all the money says to find these results, they find those results. Science has been politicized and any naysayers are ostracized. And even those that say the effects are in the future are ostracized. https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2022/04/my-views-on-climate-changeglobal.html Dr. Mass is not on the radar of climatologists. He agrees with some of the agenda but not with other parts of the agenda. For that he is all but ostracized. https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2018/06/how-climate-change-exaggeration-can.html https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2023/07/is-global-warming-causing-massive.html Dr Mass is a thoughtful data driven climatologist that does not subscribe to hysteria. He looks at the facts and data. He's pretty much my cherry picked whack job of choice. And not much of a whack job either. Very reasoned and steeped in the data. He was an integral contributor to the local NPR station but they canned him. He wondered aloud (on his blog) about what had happened to Seattle that it was a jewel a few years ago and crap now. NPR couldn't handle that and he was gone. I quit listening to that NPR station as a result. They didn't fire him over his weather and climate discussions, it was his gentle push back on the woke policies of Seattle that turned it into a cess pool that they couldn't tolerate. Too bad too because they had a great Blues broadcast Fri and Sat night 6-12am. You might say that was a bit reactionary of me, but I had been moving that way for quite some time and that was the straw. mspart

Yeah, he doesn't mess around. No nonsense. mspart

Hopefully this will be a difference. But I remember being shocked when the Gazans voted in Hamas. If Hamas is gone, I wonder if the Gazans will have learned a lesson or vote in a similarly blood thirsty war mongering regime that will not let them vote again. Again, this could all end now if the Gazans, who we are told are suffering mightily, would turn over their Hamas overlords to the Israelis. Or at least tell them where they are. Then they would be free to create whatever they want. Again, will they have learned anything from this or go back to what they have had? mspart

Everyone listens to their cherry picked whack job of choice. mspart

This is a circus. mspart

It would be interesting discussing this with a rational and thoughtful person. Apparently that is not you. You are in the tank for the Ds and they can do no wrong. So you call anything that is presented as conspiracy theory because it doesn't match with what you want it to be. Soon you will understand that, hopefully for you. mspart

You is one youngin' BR. mspart

Yes, there are plenty of "strageties" to leave college with no debt. I see kids not wanting to work. They want to have the full school experience of no responsibilities other than school work. But then they drown themselves in debt, where if the worked, they could lessen that by mass quantities. mspart

Interesting theory. Mine is that leftism/socialism has been taught in schools over the years to the point where most coming out of HS and college are filled with conservative bad, lefty good messages. And by the man in the street interviews, they don't know much else. But lead paint and leaded gasoline might have something to do with it. mspart

Mission accomplished Keep on Truckin Spladle - mspart

This makes sense now. When Obama went to the White House and completely ignored President Biden, even though Biden was begging for his attention. Now we know who is in power. Ha ha. I'm not sure this is actually the case, but someone is directing Biden. Might as well be B Obama. mspart

Yep, a dead ringer for me. Now I see it!! mspart

He did that all by his lonesome. Maybe his handlers had something to do with that. But he could just as easily fix the issue. TX has fixed it. Biden will not tear down the border fencing even though he went to SCOTUS to get the okie dokie to do so, and he got it. The optics were not what he is willing to suffer. Whoever on here said he needed new laws to make a change was 100% wrong. Make that 1000% wrong. It is changing without new law. mspart

Yes of course. It's what all the greenies don't seem to understand. You can't replace the current grid that gives reliable energy with a grid that does not provide reliable energy. People won't stand for it. Does that mean we shouldn't move to more efficient types of energy. No. But to give a mandate of it has to be done by a certain year means the reliable aspects of the grid will go away by that time. Then we are left with an unreliable grid. That is not a serious solution that any serious minded individual would conjure up. mspart

So GWN, You are saying that Hillary had a subpoena to retain devices and bleachbitted the server and used a hammer on the phones etc, and that is not an issue. Nothing to see here. And this tells us everything we need to know about your sense of justice. Hillary - obstruction of justice, playing with classified material. No trial. Biden - had paper classified documents in his garage that he had no right to not having been president. No trial. Trump - had paper classified documents secured as instructed and had a right because he had been president. TRIAL TRIAL pants on fire. This of course is objective prosecution based only on the facts. That's what you want us to believe. Sorry, your sense of justice is definitely not objective but subjective to who is under scrutiny. And that is not justice. mspart

I can agree with Ohio. JB has my heart, Dake does not. But Dake is not going to lose to JB again. This is assuming JB makes the finals. And I think he can. I think he is that good. But I don't think he can take Dake unfortunately. And worse, I don't think JB thinks he can take Dake. It will be his last hurrah. Jordan was not able to make the team at a non olympic weight last year. I don't think he makes it at an Olympic weight this year. mspart

We've had limited success in Greco over the years. 96, Paulsen, Hall, and Ghaffari all won silver. 98 Ghaffari won silver 2000 - Lindland, Lowney, Gardner to silver, bronze, and gold 01 - Paulsen, Lindland, Gardner - first two with silver, Gardner with Gold. 02 - Byers Gold 04 - Gardner Bronze I'm getting this from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_results_in_Greco-Roman_wrestling. Not a lot of consistency from our guys. Gardner was pretty consistent. The difference is that our FS guys are consistent for the most part. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_results_in_men's_freestyle_wrestling This shows a different story. We have had a lot more success in FS, but recently, even more. The last year Russia as able to compete as Russia, 2021, we had 7 medalists in 10 weights. That's pretty good. 2020 we had 5 medalists in 6 weights. We had Hancock in GR that did well and improved his performance every year and took 3rd and then retired. Perhaps he could have been that guy. I don't see anyone on the horizon. It seems like we did better in GR when we had the coach with the secret sauce, Dan Chandler. He seemed able to get folks ready. It will have to come from USA Wrestling I think as they place new emphasis on GR. Otherwise, it will stay obscure. mspart mspart

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/military-tracking-balloon-western-us-military/ The U.S. is tracking a small, high-altitude balloon that is drifting across the country but poses no threat to national security, U.S. officials and the military said Friday. CBS News first reported that the military was tracking the balloon as it traversed the Western U.S. earlier in the day. NORAD, the military command responsible for air defense over the U.S. and Canada, later confirmed it had detected the object and said it was floating between 43,000 and 45,000 feet. Its presence prompted enough concern that the command sent aircraft to investigate. "The balloon was intercepted by NORAD fighters over Utah, who determined it was not maneuverable and did not present a threat to national security. NORAD will continue to track and monitor the balloon," NORAD said in a statement. "The FAA also determined the balloon posed no hazard to flight safety." One U.S. official told CBS News the balloon was expected to be over Georgia by Friday night. The official said the balloon appeared to be made of Mylar and had a small cube-shaped box, about two feet long on each side, hanging below it. Its origins and purpose remain unknown. The developments come one year after tensions between the U.S. and China ratcheted to new heights after a Chinese balloon carrying sophisticated spying equipment flew over the continental U.S. for several days. So they are just going to let it fly across the US? Wonderful! mspart

WKN,. If you think the USA is a hellscape, you should move to Russia. Leave your retirement money here and live like a real Russian. I think you'll find your hellscape is quite cozy compared to that. mspart

Of course you are. I'll spell it out for you. 1. DA and prosecuting attorney have most likely perjured themselves regarding an affair they were having. 2. It is corrupt to hire a lover, pay him huge salary, and be taken on vacation by said lover, and meals paid for by said lover. She is sharing in his largesse. The fact that outside counsel is retained is normal and expected. But not if they are having an affair where there is a reasonable expectation of sharing the largesse. 3. The trial they are prosecuting is now suspect due to the corrupt nature of their relationship. Was she actually prosecuting or did the whole thing hatch as a way to enrich the participants Fani and Wade? 4. This raises the cloud of corruption over the whole trial. 5. The judge overseeing the trial has determined that this matters whether you think so or not. It is not standard procedure for this kind of relationship in a prosecuting or defense law team. 6. I'm sure there are more. I'm tired of writing. None of this will convince you. The justice of their cause is too high to be in question you will reason. This is just a side note not worth bothering about. But there are plenty of law types, including the judge, who would disagree with you. mspart

And when the Don't say gay bill was all the rage (and it had nothing to do with gay, that was a D an media lie), the truth was that it was about not allowing Trans stuff to be taught to K-3 kids. Everyone said, there was no need for such a bill because it isn't happening. Well, now there is ample evidence that it is happening. My wife who is a preschool teacher talked with one of her moms and she has a first grader and saw for herself such literature in the classroom. She objected and was told it cannot be removed because there may be kids who need to see it. Of course this is anecdotal but the interwebs are full of this. It was a lie that it wasn't happening just like the left lie about just about everything. https://abcnews4.com/news/nation-world/parents-allege-first-graders-taught-about-gender-dysphoria-without-their-consent-pittsburg-pennsylvania-carmilla-tatel-stacey-dunn-gretchen-melton-parental-civil-rights-constitution-students-school-jefferson-elementary https://dailycitizen.focusonthefamily.com/new-jersey-to-require-1st-graders-to-learn-about-gender-identity-starting-this-fall/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/06/03/schools-gender-identity-transgender-lessons/ In Florida and several others states, educators are restricted in teaching about gender identity, but elsewhere, teachers are embracing the topic as the number of transgender and gender nonbinary children rises https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/1st-grade-teacher-tells-students-doctors-make-a-guess-about-gender-when-a-baby-is-born-boston-massachusetts-ray-skyer-transgender https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/first-grade-parents-shocked-after-transgender-book-report Parents of first graders at a Washington state school had their concerns ignored by the local school board and administration after a teacher read a book on transgender issues to the class, according to a report.

All the incoming has shifted from TX and their razor wire to CA and AZ. San Diego is overrun. https://apnews.com/article/border-patrol-street-releases-asylum-7ae9ff48b48e203ecdd5c099942dc1f5 Border Patrol releases hundreds of migrants at a bus stop after San Diego runs out of aid money SAN DIEGO (AP) — Hundreds of migrants were dropped off Friday at a San Diego bus stop instead of at a reception center that had been serving as a staging area because it ran out of local funding sooner than expected, showing how even the largest city on the country’s southern border is struggling to cope with the unprecedented influx of people. Migrants who previously had a safe place to charge phones, use the bathroom, eat a meal and arrange to head elsewhere in the U.S. were now left on the street as migrant aid groups scrambled to help out as best they could with makeshift arrangements. This is unprecedented and caused 100% by Biden. There is no other person that has caused this to happen. He wanted unfettered immigration across the Southern Border and he got and now he doesn't want it. Polls show that no one believes he is really trying to do anything after 3 years of inaction. They know it is all a political move near the election. No one is falling for the media excuses or the White House statements anymore. Talk about ruining the country. mspart
