  1. I explained it yesterday in reply to your post. It means that the government can not restrict speech (with some exceptions). Kirk’s 1st Amendment rights were not infringed this week.
  2. My issue with the Guardian article is that it’s contradicted by the family’s comments that the shooter was not at all “political” until after he came back from college.
  3. I read that and it’s hanging me up some now, and I don’t want to be. The bullet inscription “Fascist…catch!” is another factor that’s holding me back from jumping on the “groyper did it” train…and I REALLY WANT TO BE ON IT.
  4. My only question about the groyper theory is: How does that square with the comments from the family member, stating that the shooter discussed his dislike for Kirk because of his rhetoric spreading hate? Would that be consistent with the groyper criticisms of Kirk or nah?
  5. He had the right to free speech which actually means that the government didn’t stop him from saying whatever he wanted.
  6. I love that the second poster’s handle is “GeauxBurrow”. Joe Burrow is NOT one of them at all.
  7. I think the only way it could be close is if Rogan continues to like him. His blind followers would turn out for anyone he gets behind. He really likes him so far. HOWEVER…if this were to somehow play out, I have no doubt that a significant group of democrats voters would not turn out to vote for him simply because he has to support of someone they dislike/hate. My only active political discussions on 2025 have been with Gen Z dems and my only message is “even if you disagree with a LOT of a democrat candidate’s policies and idea on various issues. You just HAVE to vote for and donate to them anyway. Go ahead and be a single issue voter if you want, but that issue should be “not GOP gets your vote.” Some of them get it, but not nearly enough, IMO.
  8. It’s not real.
  9. Didn’t someone post like 150 posts ago, some montage of still shots of Arch’s grimace when throwing? It had throws from last season and even high school. Similar facial expression.
  10. How much of the correlation might be linked to socioeconomic status? It would stand to reason that older parents would tend to have higher incomes, better health care, schools, etc., which would result in lesser cases of undiagnosed ASD, etc. Do the parents age studies control for that factor?
  11. Simpler than that… still run the sneak, but not the sprint to the LOS, quick snap, predetermined run “gap” that we try to get cute with. Line up, survey the D and then make an actual choice based on D alignment. Would it be the idea strategy? No. Is it simple and light years better than how we ran it? Obv.
  12. If somehow, Democrats do the right thing and nominate him, we will go on to lose by at least 9%. Sad.
  13. I’m curious. If you don’t meet those criteria, can you still get the shot? If so, is there a cost? I know little about their health care/insurance system.
  14. My wife had someone come in for their Covid shot. Ran her info, and insurer required a $60 co-pay. The customer then decided against getting the shot. Yay.
  15. https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB2024/id/3249672
  16. Regarding future pandemics, another concern rarely discussed is that mRNA technology serves or could serve as a critical piece of national security if/when we are targeted by various novel lab created biological weapons.
  17. Are they going to order insurance companies to pay for it?
  18. Have we just totally glossed over the ban of all sales of THC vape products that went into effect? Delta-8, THC-A, hemp derived Delta-9, etc? I knew nothing about it until yesterday.
  19. Just to add some detail: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunizations/school/exemptions Just download a form, check the box for “conscientious objector”, get it notarized and turn it in to the school. No signature needed other than a dipshit parent.
  20. Texas schools basically have no vaccine mandates already.
  21. I had shingles 25 years ago. Just turned 50 last year. My pharmacist wife told me I needed the shot at my age, despite having shingles previously. I didn’t ask why. I just took her advice. She’s a lot smarter than I am and my life insurance policy is not very large (intentionally). She needs me alive.
  22. Well, if Nancy Grace says that there’s a murder spree/cover-up, I’m now 100% certain that there’s nothing nefarious actually happening.
  23. Yeah. Aside from that, in states like New Mexico, the actual issue is that without the approval or whatever from that newly staffed committee in a few weeks, a LOT of insurers will have an excuse/out to not cover those shots. I would presume that. $200-$300 price tag will greatly reduce participation.
