Considering Adams' limited reps, his stats are pretty decent. We shall see.

Happenstance controls games and seasons often but how a team responds to ups and downs is all about culture and dignity. What is going on in Regina these days reminds me a lot about the Roy Shivers-Danny Barrett regime, and that is NOT a compliment. It is an embarrassment to the team, fans and league.

Be grateful you are not living int he US. Several couples and friend who used to snowbird have not gone south for several years due to the miasma that Donald Trump and his ilk created there and has not left.

Donald Trump Jr. Caught In Coup Conspiracy With Roger Stone: Phone records reveal that Roger Stone was the go-between from the insurrectionists to Republicans like Donald Trump Jr. The Guardian reported on Denver Riggleman’s book: The select committee was able to construct a detailed map of Stone’s contacts after obtaining the call detail records of Kristin Davis, also known as the Manhattan Madam, who was with Stone at the Willard hotel in Washington DC on the day before and the day of the Capitol attack. And after investigators identified Stone’s number, the book says, they compiled an intriguing map: Stone called Tarrio both before and after January 6, and he called the former Oath Keepers chief Stewart Rhodes nine days after the riot. Both have since been charged with seditious conspiracy. The number for Stone also connected to a number of prominent Republicans that the January 6 committee believes played different roles in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, including the Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, and Arthur Schwartz, an aide to Donald Trump Jr, Trump’s eldest son. Roger Stone was Trump’s middle-man during the 2016 election between Julian Assange and the Trump campaign, so Trump being a person of no new tricks, appears to have used Stone again to try to help him overturn the election. Stone is involved up to his eyeballs in 1/6 and part of the next 1/6 Committee hearing will reportedly reveal new details about his involvement in the Capitol attack and the plot to overturn the election. Donald Trump Jr’s name has been floating around the edges of the conspiracy, but as the threads are pulled together, it appears that Trump’s family was involved in the plot to overthrow the government and keep Donald Trump in power after losing the 2020 election. https://www.politicususa.com/2022/09/26/donald-trump-jr-roger-stone.html

It has finally emerged: 'Shoot To Kill': Trump Ally Roger Stone Calls For Violence In Chilling Video Roger Stone, a longtime ally of Donald Trump, told a documentary crew a day before the 2020 election that he was ready for violence. “**** the voting, let’s get right to the violence,” he’s heard saying in footage obtained by CNN from filmmakers Christoffer Guldbrandsen and Frederik Marbell. “Shoot to kill. See an antifa? Shoot to kill. **** ’em. Done with this bullshit.” Clips from the documentary, “A Storm Foretold,” are expected to be featured during this week’s hearing by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol carried out by Trump supporters. The film is set for release later this year. The Washington Post said Stone followed up his call to violence with an “only kidding.” “We renounce violence completely,” he said. “We totally renounce violence. The left is the only ones who engage in violence.” The filmmakers told CNN’s Don Lemon they found Stone’s backtracking insincere and said it was done with “more of a wink and a nod.”

Thought Geoff Gray played well for being thrown into the breach on short notice and into a position he hadn't played much at of late.

1. Bo-Levi ain't goin' nowhere. 2. What to say about the Riders in general and Dickinson in particular? Dickinson can't even properly call out "his" team for crappy attitude and play, and as an encore, he can't even walk his comments back properly. Pathetic. And this was once a proud franchise. How have the mighty fallen! / '

Russia. They are trying to make a violent gesture to convince Europeans how serious and deadly they are. Sort of the equivalent of a gorilla beating a tree trunk to intimidate others.

I like this. A lot. Gives me some hope for the American judicial system.

PM me.

Same old stories- lying Tories. Or what passes for Tories these days.

The technology is relatively new, somewhat imperfect but evolving There is still the odd glitch- momentary freezing and such, but for about $10.00 per month, its hard to go wrong.

There is a direct relationship between supportive government social services and taxation. That said, no one, but one in any administration, civil, provincial or federal should be above scrutiny.

That is the more realistic scenario.

If you have high-speed internet, consider IPTV.

And yet all of the European-Nordic-Asian (etc) countries that have significantly or greatly higher tax rates consistently report satisfaction rates of citizens much higher than the US with lower rates of violent crime, infant mortality, maternal mortality and higher life expectancy than America. Apart from material possessions and funding the ultra-rich, I cannot see much advantage to the American capitalist model. Whatever Americans save on initial taxes they lose through healthcare costs, higher tuition, exorbitant utility costs and other delayed living costs. Moreover, the societal distress and conflict from all of the inequality has even greater costs to societies.

'We have incredible things': Trump surprised NYT reporter last year by boasting he kept White House docs Former President Donald Trump surprised New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman by casually mentioning that he had kept White House documents after leaving office. The New York Times reporter revealed in her forthcoming book, “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” that the former president told her Sept. 16, 2021, at his club in Bedminster, New Jersey, that he mentioned that he had held onto some government records that should have been sent to the National Archives, according to excerpts published by Axios. “He demurred when I asked if he had taken any documents of note upon departing the White House — ‘nothing of great urgency, no,’ he said, before mentioning the letters that Kim Jong-un had sent him, which he had showed off to so many Oval Office visitors that advisers were concerned he was being careless with sensitive material,” Haberman reported. Haberman expressed surprise that he took those letters, which he eventually returned months later after the National Archives demanded them. “He kept talking, seeming to have registered my surprise, and said, ‘No, I think that’s in the archives, but … Most of it is in the archives, but the Kim Jong-un letters … We have incredible things,'” Haberman wrote. The FBI searched Trump’s home last month at Mar-a-Lago, where they seized more than 11,000 documents and 1,800 other items, including about 100 classified materials — including some marked “top secret,” and the search warrant shows investigators believe he may have violated the Espionage Act and other laws. https://www.alternet.org/2022/09/trump-white-house-2658341468/

Older Adults Who Had COVID May Be More At Risk For Alzheimer's Disease Though SARS-CoV-2 was originally thought to be a respiratory virus, it’s become increasingly clear that the virus can have serious consequences on brain health. Many people have experienced neurological symptoms — like loss of taste and smell, headache and memory and attention issues— while infected, and most people who develop long COVID experience brain fog and cognitive problems like reduced concentration. Now, new research suggests that COVID may increase our risk of developing brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, too. The study, which was published this month in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, found that older adults who were infected with COVID had a 50 to 80% higher chance of developing Alzheimer’s compared to people who’d never had COVID. Doctors don’t think that COVID directly causes Alzheimer’s as much as it unmasks underlying illness or speeds up disease that’s already simmering. Scientists are still learning about the ways in which COVID can impact our ability to learn, remember, focus and perceive, but research suggests that infections, in general, can have a serious impact on our cognitive function, not only in the short term but in the long term as well. “These findings are not surprising to me since there is increasing understanding that medical stressors, from surgery to urinary tract infections, can lead to abrupt declines in cognitive abilities called ‘delirium’ or ‘encephalopathy,’ which is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for subsequent dementia diagnosis,” Dr. Joshua Cahan, an assistant professor of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, told HuffPost. The researchers evaluated the health records of 6.2 million adults age 65 and older who had received medical treatment between February 2020 and May 2020. At the start of the study, no one had previously been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The individuals were split into two groups: people who had COVID (over 400,000) and people who had not (about 5.8 million). The research team found that that the risk of getting Alzheimer’s doubled, from 0.35% to 0.68%, among those who had COVID. The risk was greatest in women who were 85 and older.

What are the flat-earthers going to complain about now?

If you lie down with dogs, you are gonna get fleas.

Wouldn't blame Hickson if he staged this- anything to get away from the manure spreader of a team.

Absolutely but Poilievre has reaped what he has sown. He has flirted with the extremists and one of the two men accused was brought onstage with Poilievre a few months ago and was photographed with him. Apparently the bone they had to pick with Poilievre was that Pierre's wife was from South America (not aboriginal as some have claimed to indicate he is not racist) and not a native-born Canadian. In an interview, one said they had been drinking but in the segment aired on CBC news, they both seemed pretty sober.

No end of stoopid people willing to give money to hear someone pretend they are as stupid.

Tucker knows his people.
