Don't underestimate team/management politics and bias. Streveler is better than other QBs on the NY Jets team, but still didn't get the reps.

Assuming that the two Jeffs are back and in good shape, all we need is a immovable nose tackle and a mobile outside linebacker.

Hard to predict what his rabid supporters will do for him. They have already demonstrated a willingness to commit treason and murder but with Trump, it seems to be equal motivation between money and sycophancy. When it becomes obvious that he will not be either the GOP presidential candidate or the next president, he will first go onto a maniacal rant, then move onto a scorched earth program. Even his toadies will not be safe.

Remember when being sent to your room for a nap was a punishment?

Trump Turns On Evangelicals As His 2024 President Bid Collapses Conservative evangelicals exposed their values fraud when they supported Trump, and now the ex-president is paying them back with attacks. Trump complains about evangelicals not supporting him enough. Trump said about evangelicals who have not supported him yet, “Well, I don’t care. That’s a sign of disloyalty. There is great disloyalty in politics, and that’s a sign of disloyalty, because nobody as you know, and you would know better than anybody because you do such a great job. Nobody has ever done more for right to life than Donald Trump. I put three Supreme Court justices on and they all voted and they got something they’ve been fighting for for 64 years. You know, they won. They won Roe. Wade. I was a little disappointed because I thought they could have fought much harder during the ’22 election because they won.” To sum up, Trump thinks evangelicals are disloyal because they haven’t lined up to support him for 2024. Trump clearly thinks evangelicals owe him for the overturn of Roe, but they are also to blame for the historic Republican failure in the 2022 midterm election.

And Pipkin is very easily replaced. He has shown very little.

A few days ago, when Yoshi's re-signing was announced in the Free Press, and he was described as ecstatic to be here. He said that at one time, he was reduced to living on mayonnaise sandwiches with only $18 and change to his name, so this is his best life. From the sound of it, he will be a Winnipeg lifer. Good to hear.

'Vengeance is mine declares the Lord': Marjorie Taylor Greene goes on biblical rant about 'evil' U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) used Martin Luther King Jr. Day to serve up a Christian bible-based Old Testament rant that both reserves “vengeance” for God while calling on House Republicans to take action. “Vengeance is mine declares the Lord,” the far-right self-identified Christian nationalist congresswoman proclaimed from her official government Twitter account. “God will not let evil go unpunished.” She then called on House Republicans, saying they “must do what is right for the American people and no longer serve the Uniparty and the Globalist agenda,” presumably equating the few remaining “moderate” Republicans with the entire Democratic caucus. “America First!” Greene then cried. (From this rant, it appears that MTG is going straight to Hell on the express elevator)

Ain't none of us getting any younger or better looking. However, the older I get, the better I was.

'Yikes': Ex-Trump lawyer startled by Trump fundraising email 'impersonating' DeSantis — but it's fake Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is under fire after a local news anchor from Florida accused the organization of sending out a fundraising email that appeared to be from Governor Ron DeSantis. But the Trump campaign says the email is fake. “It’s a slick fundraising email,” tweeted Spectrum News 13 anchor Greg Angel on Monday, noting that it included the Florida governor’s “campaign logo, photo, and all.” “But - check the fine print,” he continued. “It’s a fundraising email actually for Trump PAC and presidential campaign. Always read the fine print.” “A former popular president using a very popular governor to raise campaign cash? Not the first email like this. More and more it shows Gov. DeSantis’ orbit of power and influence - his gravitational pull in the GOP,” Angel added in a subsequent tweet. The allegations prompted a flood of reactions. "Trump is impersonating DeSantis in this fundraising email? Highly doubtful Team DeSantis signed off on this. Not a good sign for Trump 2024 campaign, sorry," tweeted media strategist Gabriella Hoffman. Many in Trumpworld responded as well. “Over/under on DeSantis campaign sending a cease and desist? Because this is yikes,” said former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis. https://www.alternet.org/this-is-yikes-ex-trump-lawyer-startled-by-trump-fundraising-email-impersonating-desantis-but-it-s-fake-2659263997/

Intel’s new desktop processor reaches 6GHz without overclocking Intel has just introduced a new desktop processor, the Core i9-13900KS, that can reach up to 6GHz without overclocking, making it the fastest desktop processor available. This is made possible by the processor's Thermal Velocity Boost feature, which allows the chip to run faster when it’s cool enough. The i9-13900KS is an upgraded version of the i9-13900K, which Intel released last fall. The main differences between the two processors are that the older chip reached a maximum speed of 5.8GHz and had a lower base power of 125W compared to 150W in the new chip. However, the i9-13900KS has the same number of cores (24), amount of cache (36MB) and number of PCIe lanes (20) as the i9-13900K. In addition, the new processor is compatible with Z790 and Z690 motherboards; however, an updated BIOS is recommended. The Thermal Velocity Boost is a feature in 11th Gen and later Intel Core chips that lets them run faster when they’re cool. It does this by increasing the clock frequency by 100 MHz when the temperature is below a threshold of 70 degrees C. However, you'll need a good cooling solution to get the most out of it.

And there you have the Rider problems in a nutshell.

Today, Russia hit the largest apartment building in the Ukrainian city of Dnepr, causing massive damage and dozens if not hundreds of deaths of civilians. Upon hearing the news, Britain announced that they will be sending their most advanced tanks to Ukraine immediately.

Trump isn't just stupid. He is powerful, unassailably and utterly ignorant, possessing no self-awareness at all.

Kari Lake Says If She's Not Made Arizona Governor, America Will 'Turn Into A Venezuela' Failed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake insisted in an interview Friday that if she is not made governor of Arizona, the U.S. will turn into Venezuela. The Donald Trump-backed Republican raised the specter of a Venezuelan America in an interview with far-right student agitator Charlie Kirk. Lake lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs in November, the election has been certified and Hobbs has taken office. Lake also lost a court case last month challenging the election result and has since appealed. “There’s a boatload of evidence in our favor,” Lake baselessly claimed in the interview. “We just need a judge to wake up and realize what’s on the line here, and if we do not restore honest elections right now, our country will turn into a Venezuela. We have Venezuelan-style elections, and this is how you destroy a country.” Ironically, the ascension to power by someone who isn’t chosen in a free election is typical of authoritarian leadership in Venezuela, not in an American democracy. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kari-lake-governor-or-venezuela_n_63c22194e4b0b2e15071b4ca

John Kelly manipulated Donald Trump to befriend Kim Jong Un to prevent all-out war: book New York Times correspondent Michael Schmidt is publishing a paper back copy of his book, Donald Trump v. The United States, that will feature a 12,000-word addition that includes new information he discovered after publication about the relationship the former president had with Gen. John Kelly. Kelly, who served as Trump's second chief of staff, became increasingly concerned about the rhetoric that Trump was using publicly and in private to taunt North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Coming into the position, Kelly was shocked to learn that Trump was completely unmoved by the chance of thousands of people dying if Kim decided to bomb something. "When Kelly said ‘this could destroy the economy’ he thought it was something that might appeal to Trump’s love of his own economy. Trump didn’t appreciate that," Schmidt told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace. "It was only after Kelly suggested to Trump ‘why don’t you become his friend? No one in history has ever done that.’ He knew it would never lead to a denuclearized North Korea but it would ratchet back the public and private rhetoric that was spinning out of control." It's exactly what Trump did and it's how America was saved from going to war with North Korea over the egos of the two leaders. "It's the indifference to death that I've never seen so starkly," she said. "We knew that Trump had an indifference to suffering in the spiked wall he wanted at the southern border and the nukes he wanted to shoot into Mexico. But the indifference in your telling of Kelly's efforts to educate him on the horrors and the heinous nature of war feels like an inflection point for kelly." Schmidt agreed, saying that no person understood the horrors of war more than Kelly, particularly when he lost his son in the post-9/11 wars. "And he's trying to explain to Trump what this could look like, what a DMZ with North and South Korea firing on each other could look like. How this could all spin into ways that could lead to missiles flying all over the place," said Schmidt. "And it didn't work to connect to Trump. He couldn't connect to Trump that way. It was only through Kelly, saying to Trump, 'You can be the deal maker. Go all the way back to Eisenhower. No one has done this. You can do this.' And Trump goes along with it." It explains the about-face that the public saw between Trump and Kim from taunting each other on Twitter to writing "love letters." https://www.alternet.org/john-kelly-manipulated-donald-trump/

Alabama Attorney General Pledges To Prosecute Women Who Take Abortion Pills A spokesperson for state Attorney General Steve Marshall said that although Alabama’s near-total abortion ban does not penalize a pregnant woman seeking an illegal abortion, he plans to rely on an older law to prosecute people seeking abortion care in the state. A spokesperson for state Attorney General Steve Marshall said that although Alabama’s near-total abortion ban does not penalize a pregnant woman seeking an illegal abortion, he plans to rely on an older law to prosecute people seeking abortion care in the state. Alabama’s attorney general confirmed what many abortion rights advocates have warned for years: Women can be prosecuted for using medication abortion, despite the state’s abortion ban explicitly stating it does not criminalize the pregnant person. A spokesperson for state Attorney General Steve Marshall told the conservative outlet 1819 News last week that although Alabama’s near-total abortion ban, the Human Life Protection Act, does not penalize a pregnant woman seeking an illegal abortion, he plans to rely on an older law to prosecute people seeking abortion care in the state. “The Human Life Protection Act targets abortion providers, exempting women ‘upon whom an abortion is performed or attempted to be performed’ from liability under the law,” a spokesperson for Marshall told the conservative outlet, and first flagged by feminist writer Jessica Valenti. “It does not provide an across-the-board exemption from all criminal laws, including the chemical-endangerment law — which the Alabama Supreme Court has affirmed and reaffirmed protects unborn children,” the spokesperson added. Marshall’s office did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/alabama-attorney-general-pledges-to-prosecute-women-who-take-abortion-pills_n_63c1a323e4b0fe267cb9f55c
