Not surprised Ilhan Omar's apartment was searched by the FBI but I am curious what charges they got the warrant under. Was it the fraud involved in her going from penniless Somalian immigrant to multi-millionaire overnight, her "marrying" her bother, or some other crime? Curious people want to know.

...a cost benefit situation, usually results from the treacherous condition in which the benefits are small, and visible - and the costs very large, delayed, and hidden. And of course, the potential costs are much worse than the cumulative gains."

Indian Summer was first termed in New England for the nice weather after the summer harvest was brought in when the Indians would often send out war parties to massacre the settlers. Now some want to place Indigenous People's Day smack dab when that might have happened. It's not far akin from some wanting to designate October 7th as Gaza Recognition Day.

New England takes on Las Vegas today at Foxboro. The Pats will be without 4 CB's from the roster. This could make for a big passing day for Kirk Cousins and the Raiders. The Patriots will also honor the 25th anniversary of the team winning the 2001 Super Bowl before the game.

Reminder but Joe Biden and the media tried to tell everyone America was not in a depression even though all the conditions of a depression were clearly being met. Now the Democrats and the media are trying to say the economy is not doing well despite all the proof that it is. That's why the price of gas is so important - it's the only thing Democrats can point at and say "See!"

Love that Starlink is getting a step closer to offering cell service but isn't this eerily close to the script of Dr. Who's rise of the Cybermen but instead of airships there's low earth orbiting satellites? If Elon Musk starts offering free ear pods I'd really be worried.

Some people may ask why we don't have heroes like this in today's military. The answer is that we do still have such men but the media today just doesn't celebrate them like they used to.

Feel bad that I don't go into more depth about current events and news while paying attention to sports. Then I see that the impending landfall of Hurricane Isaias on the Gulf Coast focuses not on the damage that may be done but how this could effect the big Alabama-Georgia game on Saturday. Not sure if this make me feel justified or ashamed to have the same questions.

Said it before but Columbus Day continuing to be a federal holiday also continues to be a divisive issue. On one side you have people who say Columbus was a genocidal imperialist monster and on the other proud Italian-Americans and traditionalists. I have a modest proposal with a solution which I think would be acceptable to most Americans.
On October 19th in 1781 the British forces under Lord Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington at Yorktown to end the Revolutionary War. America as a free nation really starts with this date. Why not celebrate the date as the new national holiday in replacement of Columbus Day? Yorktown Day could be celebrated on the third Monday in October. The unions would be satisfied since they wouldn't be losing a paid holiday. Italian-Americans couldn't complain since this in no way would be disrespecting Columbus and historically Yorktown is the more important date to America (beside Columbus really "discovered" the Caribbean not North America). French-Americans would be big supporters of the switch because the French fleet played a huge role in the victory. The only people who might complain are the people who are against glorifying anything that's even remotely militarily related but screw those people.
Have Yorktown Day replace Columbus Day. So let it be written so let it be done.

Every day you live also brings you one day closer to your death. Kind of poignant having this thought on October 7th. Memento mori. And rest in peace to the victims of October 7th.
