  1. I don’t see Shapiro’s name anywhere, is he not competing for a spot this year?
  2. Actually, the more I think about it, I do think there is precedent for not allowing state employees/agencies etc to display certain messages, but I’m not sure I like the idea of saying a certain type of message should be displayed. That could lead to a pretty bad place eventually.
  3. If it’s state property than I don’t have a problem with the state deciding what sorts of messages are aloud or not aloud. Not all that different from a government employee having restrictions placed on certain ways they present themselves (for example state department employees etc).
  4. The idea that the Jews and Arabs would live in peace if the Palestinians weren’t displaced in 48 is dead wrong. This issue exists because Islam will not tolerate Jews living on what they think is Muslim land. There has been much worse displacement/killing of various Arab/Muslim groups to each other over the years and the same sort of dynamic between those groups is not like what exists between Israel and the Palestinians.
  5. Cary was actually in Madison training for a very brief period when Barry was coach. I think he may have left mid-season, and unsure of the details. Funny how things come full circle.
  6. I don’t know if it’s a major blow, but he was definitely on the side of Khamanei, and was on the short list of clerics to take over as Supreme leader. I do agree that perhaps it gives an opening to whatever opposition exists.
  7. Better watch out for this group, they have a real chance of “tipping” the balance of public opinion…
  8. Just listened to the interview. Man, Brooks is a textbook narcissist.
  9. I don’t know if that would be too controversial in central PA.
  10. Who is Smith for Puerto Rico?
  11. Bill Maher just discussed this on his show. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/bill-maher-rips-media-covered-133000414.html
  12. If Bush, Bowman and Omar lose their primaries it’s a backlash to the squad and their movement. They talk a big game when it comes to social justice but do nothing for their constituents, most of whom need real solutions when it comes to things that democrats are supposed to care about (jobs, decent wages, education, more services for bad neighborhoods etc).
  13. My favorite was at NCAAs in Tulsa when he talked about meeting Trump. “I like watching his interviews because he’s a big personality. He has a set of big balls. I like how his mind works. Pretty big being with him.”
  14. That’s true. Last time he was pretty close with no big money behind him. I think people took notice that she is vulnerable and he is more well funded now. I hope he is successful but would be surprised if he beats her.
  15. Would love for Omar to lose, but doesn’t seem likely. But last I checked Cori Bush and Jamal Bowman were likely to lose their Democratic primary races to more traditional moderates, so there is that.
  16. You sure assume a lot as if it’s fact.
  17. Think Scott can convince his wife to go to Hofstra?
  18. Do you guys think Brooks will now train in Stillwater?
  19. I can see you are assuming a lot in this discussion, doesn’t make it true.
  20. Well, one way to look at it would be how badly it hurt Israel’s ability to carry out their war aims when the World Central Kitchen workers were killed. Political pressure became enormous and they were prevented from going into Rafah. If they intentionally targeted hospitals/aid workers etc they would not have the support from the US they need.
  21. You can argue over details of whether this qualifies as a command center, but that misses the point. There is plenty of evidence of weapons stored in hospitals/schools, and fighters operating there. Why you want to find an excuse for that is beyond me.
  22. You are right, they used the hospital itself. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/01/03/politics/us-al-shifa-intelligence-assessment https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/02/us/politics/gaza-hospital-hamas.html
