    Patterson replaced Kate Wiesner. I would bet that KW was one of the final picks on the squad, so it is not clear that the transition is a net loss. Emily Samms replaced Jordyn Bugg on the back line. Again, a case could be made that Samms is better, if healthy. I'd guess that the defensive...

    Well, the OP attracted no attention But I do have some news. Avery Patterson (a one time UNC star) had been a regular partcipant at Left Back (defense) for the USWNT. But in January she was called up to camp but had to leave with some unknown illness. There was some speculation that...

    Are you really this stupid? He was not celebrating "Americans," He was celebrating white people, and especially white people who were shot by undocumented immigrnts His ultimate gamble is that people like you and Rams are really that stupid. But the larger truth is that you guys are...

    Politics Let’s talk about Somali fraud

    No. That is the point. Sure, educated folks might come to different conclusions. But the problem we as a society are facing is that uneducated people believe that they get to believe whatever they want to believe and they believe that they can "do their own research" by reading right-wing...

    Politics Let’s talk about Somali fraud

    No, the meaning of "racism" is not really a matter of personal opinion. There is a massive literature on race and racism. That is like saying that the efficacy of vaccines is a matter of personal opinion. In tact, there are facts that one can learn (or not learn) If one blames fraud...

    UNC Sports I have come to really enjoy this season, this might be why.

    There is much to like about this team. There is good depth with lots of moving parts. Looking from the outside, they all seem like good guys. The two big post stars are ersatile players who can pass the ball, and seem to enjoy each other, There is lots of evidence of individuals...

    Politics Going after Greenland | Trump mad king letter

    The point is not "hating" this guy. The key points (I think) are: 1. This guy is completely dishonest. Historically so. It would be insane to believe anything he says. 2. I imagine that history will judge that he has being even more corrupt than we now believe. It is reasonable to...

    Politics —> ICE / Immigration |

    Given the visual evidence and their collective track records, I'm pretty confident that these people are lying. On purpose. For the moment, lets focus on JD Vance. This guy is ambitious unbalanced by any sense of ethics. So, why is he being so loud in attacking this particular victim...

    Off-Topic Changing Tenor in HR Departments

    Okay, misc thoughts on this essay and this thread and this topic: 1. I've said this frequently and it is still true. "DEI" does not = "Affirmative Actions," although there are evil folks who want you to think they are the same. Frankly, when I see folks using DEI when they mean...
