MAGA and many Republicans does not love the immigration story. They love the story of how their white ancestors came to America. Brown and blacked skinned immigrants and those non-Christian folks coming here legally are met with disdain on the right and in the MAGA movement. The this "THIS IS AMERICA, WE SPEAK ENGLISH AND ONE NATION UNDER GOD" MAGA crowd wants a walled-off, Soviet style border to anyone that isn't white. They want only white, Christian, God fearing people to be allowed in and people seeking to vote Republican from Cuba and Venezuela. Even then, they tell them to speak English because that's what we do in America. They want Muslims and people from Muslim-majority nations kept out of the country. What do you think all of those baseless Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, and Brietbart Caravan stories were all about? I remember in 2019 when Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was first elected I went to her swearing in ceremony at River Rouge high school and the MAGA folks were out there (I remember there being about 20-25 people) decrying her election. I went out and chatted with some of the protestors and got the following general statements from the 5-6 people I talked with. First, Rashida is not an American citizen. Never mind the fact that Rashida and her siblings is a natural born citizen and born to parents who had themselves legal citizenship in America. Second, a Muslim shouldn't be elected to Congress and has no right serving in government. Three, how come she didn't have an American flag on stage and had a Palestinian one instead. Actually, she did have one on stage, I was in the auditorium, I know she did, I have the photographic proof that she did. Four, she swore in on the Quran and not the Bible. I remember her doing that, and so what that she did. One lady told me her and her husband wipe their ass with copies of the Quran when they use the bathroom. This same lady told me that she is of Ukrainian heritage but you don't see her wearing a pro-Ukrainian shirt or publicizing that she's Ukrainian-American. I remember in 2018 when Donald Trump said he prefers to be called a Nationalist. Trump was met with cheers and support on the right for referring to himself as a Nationalist. I remember in 2017 when President Trump was met with adoration by the right for his Muslim travel ban. I remember in 2009 when the MAGA and Tea Party crowd were out in force declaring that President Obama was Kenyan-born person and was not a citizen of the United States and thus an illegitimate President. This is who MAGA is and this is what they want. Denying that is denying reality. Take one look at the policies on immigration they have supported over the past decade or more. Take a look at the news stories and opinion pieces they run.

We do need more legal immigrants here and we need to give those who are undocumented a fair pathway to citizenship. The trouble is, we have a significant number of people in one political party, the Republicans, running around trying to wall off the borders like a Soviet blockade and telling everyone "THIS IS AMERICA. WE SPEAK ENGLISH HERE. LEARN OR LEAVE." It's hard to pass real immigration reform as it is given the corporate influence for cheap labor over our immigration system. When you add in a bunch of doddering clowns using it as a culture war, that complicates things further politically.

I think Adams is going where Rodgers goes. If he stays in Green Bay I think Adams stays. If he goes to Denver, Adams signs there. I wouldn't sign Adams to a big deal given that he's about to be on the wrong side of 30 and we aren't quite ready to win now.

Covid 19 cases are higher in counties that went for Trump. Rates of morbid obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease are higher in states that vote Republican. So speaking of diseased people, take a look at your party and the people who vote Republican. It's almost as if there is a correlation between poverty and poor health. And what are most southern states, impoverished and full of people in poor health.

Boris Johnson had a SECOND PARTY it looks like during the Covid lockdown in the UK. His party, the Tories, are doing something Trump's never does, they are criticizing and skewering their own Prime Minister.

I hope Holmes is smart with our cap space this year. We won't be a playoff team next year, so there is no need to blow through all the Cap Space we have. We will have Flowers coming off the books in a year I believe as well, so that will free up more cap space for the 2023 off season.

Congratulations Matt Stafford on finally getting to a Super Bowl! Well deserved!

Who the did independent voters in Virginia think they were voting for in Youngkin? How many times do people have to learn that you can't run government like a business and that private sector experience often times translates poorly into running a service-based, non-profit, public sector entity?

CANCEL CULTURE IS SO BAD, UNLESS I DISAGREE WITH IT!

I understand you were outraged when Ronald Reagan promised to pick a woman during the 1980 campaign and appointed Justice O'Connor right? I'm sure you when around saying no men need apply.

It's like turning in a research paper with only personal conjecture and no citations of fact or research to back any points made throughout the paper up. That's how he posts. "Ultra liberal CNN" and "What Biden's doing in China" and other bits of opinion with no merit or truth behind them.

You provided no counter points or fact to any of what I brought up, didn't bother supporting your point with anything other than your conjecture in the first place, and then brought up another point about Biden and China while offering no facts and again ignoring the provable facts I point out. Keep standing by that conjecture though.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/10/1/20891510/hunter-biden-burisma-ukraine-shokin Keep making things up and acting like you know what you're talking about. Viktor Shokin, the Prosecutor General in Ukraine, was accused of not being tough enough in fighting systemic corruption in the country. Western allies of Ukraine, including the Obama Administration at the time, wanted Shokin removed and a new Prosecutor General, who would be tougher on anti-corruption measures, installed in as Prosecutor General. Shokin was accused of not moving fast enough into corruption and bribery investigations around Zlochevsky and Burisma. The US DOJ and Obama Administration were considering bringing charges against Burisma themselves. So when Biden delivered the message that the US and other western allies wanted Shokin gone as Prosecutor General, that wasn't exactly a message that would have helped Hunter out. Of course you ignore all that and continue to defend Grifter in Chief Donald Trump who himself and with the assistance of those in his personal network solicited foreign agents and other governments to stay at and utilize Trump properties. You ignore the fact that White House Aid and Daughter to the President Ivanka Trump was seeking trademarks for her clothing and shoe line from the Chinese government while her father, the President of the United States, was negotiating with the Chinese government.

The USFL actually has a few notable name coaches. they have Mike Riley, Kevin Sumlin, and Todd Haley. Because this is Detroit though, we hired the guy who is guaranteed to take us to 7-9/8-8.

Same Old Panthers!

We're going 7-9, great! One mediocre team in Detroit was enough.

While I believe this team is devoid of talent, another good draft combined with a solid free agency, developing the talent they do have, and Aaron Rodgers leaving the NFC North could give them a chance to leap up to the 6-7 win territory next year.

The league is heavily an offensive league, so good to see The Bears screw it up and go in the opposite direction, when they have a young franchise QB to develop in Justin Fields, and hire a defensive guy. A guy whose defense gave up 20+ points to Jacksonville to close the season out and miss the playoffs no less.

If Rodgers just holds out and tells them he isn't showing up for work doesn't that give him some amount of leverage?

Mask mandates are like the Holocaust. They very same Holocaust that the right is now banning books about. So mask mandates are like the thing we want to ban books about. Cancel Culture strikes again.

Next on To Catch a Predator . . .

I think the Steelers need to rebuild and tare it down. He would be going into a worse situation offensively if he went to Pittsburgh. The Steelers have an atrocious offense and have even less weapons than Rodgers has in Green Bay with no Aaron Jones at RB and no Davante Adams at WR and a worse O-Line. If they trade for Rodgers they will be giving up massive draft capital and thus won't be able to add the weapons needed around Rodgers to win. I think the best spot for Rodgers is Denver. They have a good defense and ready made offensive weapons with Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon at RB and Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick, and Noah Fant as receiving threats. They can plug and play with Rodgers there and win now. QB has been the only thing really holding them back.

Luke Fickell lol. Even though I am backing off the fire Harbaugh bandwagon for now, Fickell would still be the first guy the university should call. If he says no and you can't change his mind, so be it, but it would be a mistake not to call him. Other names the university should reach out to include the obvious ones like Matt Campbell and Matt Rhule. I'd also send feelers out to Sean Payton and see if he's interested in coaching college ball.

Maybe all that Coke Clearance Thomas has been drinking over years catches up with him. I don't wish ill will on Thomas at all, it's just that he's the oldest Justice on the court now that Breyer is retiring.
