In the event that the virus never goes away, the only logical solution will be to build even bigger stadiums....so we can get everyone in at 6ft apart. Right? lol. Imagine Allen Eagle Stadium on steroids....

My background is just as good as hers. My credentials or opinions are just as qualified as hers--because it is an opinion, and everyone has one, just like HOLES. LOL

Trump right to commute Roger Stone’s sentence – Stone committed no crime, was framed by Mueller Mueller charged Stone to get him to incriminate President Trump for imaginary crimes based on invented evidence of Russian “collusion" The legal landscape is littered with the destruction wrought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his “hit squad” of partisan prosecutors. By commuting the prison sentence of Roger Stone on Friday, President Trump took a justified step in rectifying an egregious wrong. The president’s decision was also a compassionate gesture toward a 67-year old man who is not in the best of health and would have entered a federal prison system Tuesday that is struggling to contain the deadly coronavirus that is especially virulent for older Americans. Illegitimately appointed under federal regulations, Mueller employed a scorched-earth strategy to bully, intimidate, and threaten people like former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos into coerced guilty pleas. Mueller’s ultimate goal was to get these people to incriminate President Trump for imaginary crimes based on invented evidence of Russian “collusion” to steal the 2016 presidential election. But they didn’t. There was nothing incriminating. But the truth was irrelevant to the special counsel. Mueller didn’t care that it was all a hoax and that the supposed “evidence” was phony. He was more than willing to force people to lie to falsely implicate Trump/ People associated with the president — like conservative radio host Jerome Corsi and former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland — were put in a room and threatened with years behind bars if they declined to capitulate. But they refused to lie and no charges were brought against them because there was no evidence they had done anything wrong. Indeed, Mueller never charged anyone with a “collusion” conspiracy, since it never actually happened. Roger Stone also resisted. But his punishment by Mueller was a 24-page indictment and jackbooted tactics during an early morning arrest at his home, Twenty-nine FBI agents wearing tactical gear and wielding M4 rifles, swept across Stone’s lawn. Four agents used a battering ram to break down his front door and then pointed rifle barrels at Stone’s head. A helicopter hovered above, and two police boats roared up to the back yard of Stone’s home. The bust was shown live on CNN, which just happened to be there at 6 a.m. The bizarre raid was not designed to capture an armed and dangerous criminal, but rather a writer, self-promoter and longtime friend of Trump. The feds knew that Stone had no criminal record, owned no firearms, and had an expired passport and thus was not dangerous or a flight risk. But that wasn’t the point. The objective was to scare the hell out of Stone so that he might say something damaging about Trump, even if it was a complete fabrication. It was the equivalent of suborning perjury. The objective was to scare the hell out of Stone so that he might say something damaging about Trump, even if it was a complete fabrication Mueller’s abusive wielding of power in the arrest of Stone revealed the rot at the heart of the entire Russia investigation. It was, as Trump tweeted at the time, the “Greatest Witch Hunt in the History of our Country! Border Coyotes, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers are treated better.” The indictment of Stone was a gaseous windbag of a document. It told of a tantalizing story about Trump, WikiLeaks and Julian Assange. The indictment suggested that Stone might have had some advance knowledge or inside information about the contents of hacked Hillary Clinton campaign emails that were released by WikiLeaks in the summer of 2016. “Advance knowledge” is not a crime, by the way. Hence, all the froth boiled down to allegations of what are known as “process crimes” — obstruction, making false statements and witness tampering. I don’t want to minimize or condone process crimes. No person should ever lie, mislead, or obstruct a legitimate law enforcement investigation. But Mueller’s probe was far from legitimate. Moreover, none of the charges had anything to do with Trump-Russia “collusion.” It was not alleged that Stone had conspired with Russians to hack or steal documents. Instead, Stone stood accused of reaching out to WikiLeaks and asking others to do so — as did hundreds of journalists in the summer of 2016, myself included. That is not a crime. If it was, I’d be composing this column behind bars. An examination of Stone’s emails showed that he provided little more than the same information that WikiLeaks had already stated publicly. Stone speculated that the Clinton emails would be damaging. But that was stating the obvious. By trying to insert himself into the action, Stone created the appearance that he knew more than he did — a frequent habit of his. Mueller’s job was to uncover crimes that had occurred before he was appointed. But his investigation generated or created the charges against Stone. This invites the question: did Stone lie or make false statements? Stone insisted that he had forgotten about some of the documents and conversations he had been asked to recount, saying: “I am human and I did make some errors.” Did Stone threaten a witness? Stone claimed his statements were jocular and taken wildly out of context. Although he pleaded not guilty, Stone was convicted by a jury in Washington in November. If you are a friend of Trump, getting a fair trial in the District of Columbia is a challenge, if not an impossibility, especially in a politically charged case. In the last presidential election, 90.5 percent of the ballots in the nation’s capital were cast in favor of Hillary Clinton. A scant 4.1 percent of votes were cast for Trump. Suspicions of a wrongful conviction against Stone became more acute when new evidence emerged after his trial that justice may have been undone by a jury foreperson who harbored a disqualifying bias. Tomeka Hart, the foreperson, is a Democratic activist who voiced extreme anti-Trump opinions that were largely concealed during jury selection. Before she was ever picked for the trial, Hart posted numerous social media comments highly critical of Trump and actively engaged in protests against him. Even worse, in a string of posts Hart commented negatively about the Stone case itself, praised the Mueller investigation and suggested that the president and his supporters (such as Stone) were racists. Hart referred to Trump with the hashtag “klanpresident.” She should never, under any circumstances, have been sitting in judgment of Stone. Hart must have known this, inasmuch as she is a lawyer. As I pointed out in a previous column, Hart’s record is indicative of a manifest prejudice against Stone by virtue of his close association with Trump. Because Hart was the foreperson who had the ability to guide and even induce other jurors to convict Stone, it is likely that he was deprived of his constitutional right to an impartial jury and a fair trial, Predictably, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who was appointed to the bench by President Barack Obama, denied a motion for a new trial for Stone. The judge blamed Stone’s attorneys for not uncovering evidence of bias before the trial commenced. Under the law, that is not an excuse for refusing to overturn a tainted conviction by granting a new trial. When our imperfect system of justice fails the president is constitutionally empowered to issue either a pardon or a commutation. Indeed, he may do so for either a good reason or no reason at all. President Trump did not pardon Stone, which would have absolved him of his convicted crimes. Rather, Trump commuted Stone’s sentence of 40 months in prison. Stone’s convictions will stand, unless a higher court reverses them on appeal. The political and media backlash will be severe, to be sure. But that has never deterred Trump before and should not in the future. The contorted case of Roger Stone is a sad coda to the work of Robert Mueller. As Trump tweeted last month, Stone was “a victim of a corrupt and illegal Witch Hunt, one which will go down as the greatest political crime in history. He can sleep well at night!” Stone has suffered enough, He deserves to sleep in his own bed.

There’s an interesting conversation happening on twitter about this. Thought I’d bring it here. Let’s say UIL cancels football this fall. What would that mean? would alternate leagues form? Would we see club/elite football explode like we’ve seen with select baseball, AAU basketball, and select soccer? These are all real concerns for coaches of those sports. Could football fall into that trap? There would be safety and medical concerns for non UIL football. Would those leagues and select teams protect players like the UIL? What about the loss of coaching and athletic training expertise? It’s in place for UIL schools. Would it for alternatives? End of the day...... kids are going to play football this fall. One way or another. in the sandlot, on a travel/select team, or in a pop up league. Wouldnt it just be better if UIL proceeds normally and let each district decide if they participate or not based on their communities’s health? thoughts???

Another issue with going online only that hasn’t been addressed a whole lot is what about the families that can’t afford daycare? Plus I would imagine daycare’s will be full and turning people away. Yea some mom’s will be home and be available to assist their children, but many won’t. So what will that look like? Going to be a lot of unsupervised kids that need supervision. Going to be a lot of “babysitting” of kids in groups at grandparents, neighbors houses or wherever. Some of these environments will be much LESS SAFE for the kids than being at school. If it were a guarantee that going online only and dropping extra curricular activities was going to save lives and the negative effects would be minimal, everyone would be on board, but the evidence just isn’t there for either case.

Maybe a Stanford MD professor has some credibility on schools reopening

Of course, the panic pushers of the left won’t acknowledge this hoax.

It’s a liberal thing, born of the old saying, If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with .

Lol. I protest bad calls by refs frequently. That might just work! Hahaha

If there was any justice, Mueller and his henchmen should be indicted for conducting all of these phony manufactured prosecutions ....

It was a Kangaroo court from the get go, Trump did the right thing, crooked courts can't win when you have a righteous President in office

Still an Opinion. Last time I checked, opinions aren't facts. I'm guessing you don't have that kind of background, either. Oh, and "Appeal To Authority": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority

Don’t need any of that to have an Opinion.

When COVID-19 is gone, how would you repurpose your mask? I was thinking of using a few of mine as pee bibs.

Why can’t they afford anything else. Under democrat administrations the unemployment is higher. Create more jobs and opportunity by lowering taxes on businesses that hire folks to Work. Keep jobs in America.

It applies specifically to your post, you’re just too liberally brainwashed to understand

Genesis 9:6 English Standard Version (ESV) 6 “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image. Romans 13:3-4 English Standard Version (ESV) 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.

If they didn’t vote democrat there’d be more jobs to apply for setting themselves up for better living opportunities. Instead, they’ll vote democrat so they can take from the ones that afford to live where they want and spin it on more handouts and have higher poverty levels. Democrats idea is to bring everybody down to the same level instead of providing opportunities for people to better themselves

Don't worry my team DBs can stay within 6ft from a WR anyways.

Do you think this is Fox News fair and balanced?

The Real Drivers of the Washington Redskins Name Change: Wealthy White LiberalsDB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon Posted on 7/14/2020, 7:13:17 AM by EyesOfTX This was not at all the outcome the WaPo had hoped to obtain. – A poll commissioned by the Washington Post in 2016 found that 9 out of 10 American Indians (who all the wealthy white liberals love to call “native Americans” in hushed tones as they take a sip of their chardonnay produced from former Indian lands in the Napa Valley) are not at all offended by the name “Washington Redskins.” Wait, what? I swear I’m not making this up. Here’s an excerpt from the WaPo piece about the poll: Nine in 10 Native Americans say they are not offended by the Washington Redskins name, according to a new Washington Post poll that shows how few ordinary Indians have been persuaded by a national movement to change the football team’s moniker. The survey of 504 people across every state and the District reveals that the minds of Native Americans have remained unchanged since a 2004 poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found the same result. Responses to The Post’s questions about the issue were broadly consistent regardless of age, income, education, political party or proximity to reservations. Among the Native Americans reached over a five-month period ending in April, more than 7 in 10 said they did not feel the word “Redskin” was disrespectful to Indians. An even higher number — 8 in 10 — said they would not be offended if a non-native called them that name. [End] So, if that’s the case – and there is no newer research indicating that prevailing attitudes among the U.S. American Indian population has changed in the past four years – why is the ownership of the Redskins now in the process of abandoning the team name for something else? Why, to appease wealthy white liberals and the news media, of course. Why else would they do it? There is literally no other reason for it. Full disclosure: I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan, and could not care less what the Washington football franchise chooses to call itself. The Cowboys will just keep beating them 62% of the time, as they have always done. But at some point, we all have to step back and recognize the undeniable fact that every issue we have seen emanating from the political left in America for the past century is generated by the terminally offended wealthy white liberal class. Every one of them. Think about it: During the course of this COVID-19 pandemic, who have all of the “Karens” been? What is their near-100% profile? Wealthy and white liberal women. Their male counterparts are by and large wealthy and white liberal men. When you viewed the scenes of the Antifa/BLM- staged riots on your TV screens throughout the month of June, who made up the vast majority of the rioters? Weren’t 8 or 9 out of every 10 of them white? What about all the “peace” rallies you saw, with the thousands of participants engaging in chants and self-flagellation normally seen in extreme religious cults? Weren’t pretty much all of white? When you look at the mug shots of the hundreds of Antifa/BLM terrorists who have been arrested by the Department of Justice of the past few weeks, what is the prevailing profile? Isn’t it a bunch of pasty-faced young white adults? Sure they are. These are the children of upper-middle-class to upper-class white parents, technically adult children who have no inner values and are so wracked with the guilt of their privileged upbringings that they spend their time desperately seeking ways to identify with people who have real problems and blaming them all on “society.” Most American Indians couldn’t care less about the name “Washington Redskins” for the simple fact that they have more pressing things in their lives to spend their time worrying about. Only the wealthy white liberal class in this country has the time and the freedom to spend their waking hours obsessing over whether or not the name of a sports team might be offensive to someone else. Now, take a look at the talking heads you see on cable TV channels like CNN and MSNBC, and who do you see? By and large, a bunch of wealthy white liberals. MSNBC’s prime time lineup looks like a family reunion on Nantucket Island. Take Don Lemon out of the mix, and the same can be said for CNN. These are by and large the offspring from very wealthy northeastern liberal families, families with names like Cuomo and Vanderbilt and O’Donnell. A bunch of wealthy white liberals telling you that you are all horrible people who root for sports teams with bad names, like the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians and Atlanta Braves, none of which are offensive to the vast, overwhelming majority of actual American Indians. The Braves management has announced that they’ll probably keep their team name, but they’re gonna ban the “tomahawk chop” cheer that has become ubiquitous at Braves home games. They’re doing this not to protect the sensibilities of American Indians, but to avoid the ire of the wealthy white liberal class that dominates the American news media, not to mention their class of season ticket holders. The Cleveland Indians abandoned their logo of Chief Wahoo years ago to appease all the wealthy white liberal outrage. The change of the Redskins name is a fait accompli at this point, and the new name will be announced very soon. I’d prefer the “DC Swamp Rats” personally, but rumor is that “Washington Warriors” is the current favorite to prevail. That is, unless some think tank dominated by the offspring of wealthy white liberal families with Ivy League educations finds some reason to find the word “Warriors” offensive. When the new name is finally announced, wealthy white liberals will cheer and raise their glasses of chardonnay in a toast to their own fine sensibilities. Meanwhile, the vast majority of American Indians won’t even notice.

He may have been hit in the head by flying dung

My take is that the Team will stay to sing the song after the game as a Team as I would think that part of the approval of keeping the song was that all parties are good with the direction that is being taken. There may be some outliers that still have an issue with the song but with the concept of Team unity they will stay on the field to sing it.

Abortion for ANY reason is murder......

He's a drone strike waiting to happen ....

Just found out my brother and his wife were tested and both show the antibodies, no virus. Seems they had it back in January or February with no ill effects. This “pandemic” is a hoax, pure and simple!

Stupidity is condemning half of an entire nation over 150 years later. It was a different time and a different culture. Yes slavery is wrong, but not all of the south owned slaves or was pro slavery. Many southerners fought for their homes, their land, and their families and countrymen. This may blow your mind, but there were some good people that lived in the South during the time of slavery. Obviously, there were plenty of evil men as well on both sides. Those people are dead and gone and God has already judged them. Maybe we should never make statues for any man or woman, because we are all guilty of sin and wrongdoing or maybe we just happened to live at a time where things were culturally acceptable during our lifetime even if we didn’t agree. I think abortion is evil, but it is acceptable in our culture today. I hope there comes a time where it is illegal and people feel the same way towards it as they do slavery. 200 years from now they may be tearing down all of the statues of people during our time because they lived during the abortion era! The point is, if someone or something has to be perfect to have a statute or have something named for them/it, there should only be statues of Jesus Christ, because he was the only perfect person. I mean how much good does someone have to do to cover up their mistakes or the mistakes of their contemporaries to be honored or revered?

It’s a shame that everything in this county revolves around politics.

dont watch it with your wife or kids... unless your wife has a sense of humor like a guy

Yes Jarrick Farmer is a good man, he was hired at Gilmer as assistant coach, now the HFC for Clarksville. My opinion a good hire.

He was the QB and now he’s OLB at TCU.
