I find it interesting we abandoned the space shuttle and went back to 50s capsule tech for reentry.

SpaceX is doing the same with Dragon that ferries astronauts to the space station and back. A capsule with a splashdown or a landing in Russia is the keep it simple option.

At best Trump is Joe Paterno because by his own admission a couple of times he knew what his buddy was up to. And he didn't do anything about it.

According to a Wash Post reporter who talked to Trump this afternoon, Melania didn't tell the President what she was going to do. My guess is that he was livid when he found out.

This post is America in a nutshell. People that have no clue what they are talking about calling the people that have done the studies on things stupid.

This is probably a robust study done by Univ of Wisconsin researchers on 2600 high school players with about half wearing the caps.

They didn't find any difference in concussion rates between those who wore them and those who didn't. There have been lab tests that showed they might help a little when hit from certain directions but one I read found that it was because the caps slipped on contact, not because the extra cushioning did anything.

The UW study mentioned extra jaw padding as maybe being beneficial but the bottom line is that really the only way to guarantee brain health is to limit head jarring contact as much as possible.

An actual ceasefire cannot exist with the Islamic hardliners still in control in Iran.

How much control does any faction have at this point. If there's no definite command structure in place there may not be any hope for a ceasefire to stick.

The funny part is that she also has a reputation of getting half of her reporting wrong so she either sucks or she sucks.

Hiring a guy who was notorious for not giving young guys playing time doesn't seem to fit at a blue blood program.

Nothing like his 1st term. He lies, he doesn’t put America first, he scapegoats all his hires who were completely loyal to him doing everything exactly the way he wanted. He is just as corrupt as the knuckleheads in Congress. I hope we can find someone in 2028 that will do the job the way 2016 Trump did.

---

His first term wasn't that great either.

The tax bill was a big plus but he celebrated prematurely and Obamacare reform failed. No infrastructure bill passed. Covid response was a mess. North Korea was a brilliant move but wasn't followed-up so they are still belligerent.

It's nothing new, John Rocker got suspended for his comments more than 25 years ago. With Ivey the Pistons were probably fine with being done with him anyway.

He was blasted on coke when the Cats went to the White House too:

”President Reagan was welcoming my teammates and me at the White House and giving his little speech about how inspirational our victory was,” McLain writes. ”And the cocaine had me floating in my own private world. . . . Thinking thoughts like, I could push him in the head, just a little tap, and make news all over the world. That`s how high I was.”
