I’d like to see JV close his career out in Detroit. I’d guess he would be open to the idea but I’m afraid money and years would be an issue for both sides.

If you’re referring to the “Classic” they rolled out about 25-30 years ago, I’d suggest it was the customers that decided there was no room for the new formula.

WSJ has published multiple pieces this year on insurers bilking Medicare out of billions of dollars. The piece below is a good summation of the situation. https://www.risehealth.org/insights-articles/wsj-investigation-medicare-advantage-plans-were-paid-billions-for-diseases-patients-never-had/

If the Rays do eventually end up in Nashville, I would bet there would be a good chance Cleveland would move to the AL East and Nashville (Rays) would land in the AL Central. The southern most team in the AL East would be Baltimore at that point.

The Rays schedule has been revised to accommodate the move to Steinbrenner Field and the weather impacts that will come with the move. Brutal second half. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10144785-rays-to-play-47-of-first-59-games-in-2025-mlb-season-at-home-after-schedule-changes.amp.html

I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, none. That anyone could be forced to adopt a child would be news to me.

Understanding your concerns, has adoption ever entered the conversation?

No, this is a misnomer. Planned Parenthood. Have a read. https://lozierinstitute.org/fact-sheet-planned-parenthoods-2021-22-annual-report/

No point. Just curious.

Do you support male athletes that are trans being allowed to play against female athletes? There have been some high profile stories regarding this over the last several years.

Comments? Particularly on the school funding part. Source NR: In the last two years of Democrat-led governance in the Great Lake State, lawmakers have repealed the state’s right-to-work law and offered controversial state tax incentives to Chinese-owned Gotion Inc. to open a battery-parts plant in the state. For the first time in over a decade, Democrats chose not to increase the per-pupil allotment for school funding, essentially slashing school funding by $280 per student as the budget fails to keep pace with inflation. They also slashed school funding specifically earmarked for school safety and mental health by $302 million, or 92 percent.

Ask not what your DOE can do for you, rather, ask what you can do for your DOE. https://edworkforce.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=408471

I said Harris was not a VIABLE candidate. I didn’t say she wasn’t a VALID candidate. Don’t let “your prejudice” fog your thought process.

🙄

I was in the 3rd grade when JFK was assassinated. Huge impression on me for life. I remember the days as being gray. Even as young as I was then, it was surreal.

The Rays saga continues. Yesterday the Pinellas County commissioners met to vote on a proposal to move forward on spending $22 million to replace the roof on the Trop. This money would only apply to the roof replacement and nothing beyond this regarding the needed repairs. This was the first step toward getting the Rays back in the Trop for 2026. The money was approved in a 4-3 vote. However, after a recess of the commission, there was a revote and the money for the roof was then voted down! Bad vibes between the commissioners and the Rays. This is looking more like the A’s fiasco.

…always with the name calling and/or innuendos. I don’t agree with your perspective on this topic. However, I don’t feel as though I need to attack YOU personally as a result to make a point. I believe the DOE should be abolished and the dollars stay with the states. Clearly, there would be more oversight of the expenditures and without question, efficiencies would have to improve. It can’t happen overnight and there will be some areas that would have to be settled on as how a completed transition would conclude.

Please dismantle this albatross known as The Department of Education! 11/22/2024 The Education Department has added hundreds of support staff to help people having trouble filling out the college aid form. WSJ Students and parents completing the revamped college financial aid application are finding the process is better than it was after its troubled rollout—but still glitchy. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid for the next academic year is now open to all students. It is the second attempt at a new Fafsa meant to make aid applications easier, but after the first try left the college admissions season in disarray. The form sent out erroneous aid estimates to schools. Delays and confusion were common. Students gave up or got discouraged, potentially costing them aid money.

Quite frankly, who knows? Time will tell.

It’s called denial. Given some space maybe the left will open their eyes and accept the fact that she wasn’t a viable candidate. Maybe…

So of my two bold predictions, I missed on my second prediction when Flaherty didn’t receive a vote in the Cy Young voting. Splitting the season between the two leagues probably didn’t help.

The longer the Democratic Party holds on to the belief that Harris didn’t win because of her gender/color, the longer it will be before they learn from the huge mistake they made in believing Harris was a viable candidate. If she runs in 2028, she’ll likely be the first out of the primaries…again.

So what’s your take on Hillary getting more votes than Trump in 2016? Level playing field?
