Traditional family values (as it relates to marriage, gender, etc), strong faith, patriotism.

African-American support for Mayor Pete is a major issue. In general, African-Americans tend to be much more socially conservative than all the white liberals (like the bubble here) who love Pete.

Buddy, I’ve been around these boards for years and years. With both parties in charge. But I have never been one to focus too much on politics between election seasons. And with this board being its own entity instead of commingled with IC, I end up here a little less because the sports boards...

Yep that’s right. And just FYI, that 70% figure I gave the other day was my estimate of what our % chance was to win the State series at the beginning of the series…..not a hindsight assessment after we went up 1 game to 0. This weekend was basically a push on our tournament resume, didn’t...

Thanks bud! Coming up for air a bit, work is really busy for me from January through April. Plus 2 young kids at home now instead of just 1. I tend to mostly tune out from politics inbetween campaign seasons but won’t be long until 2026 midterms start to become a focus.

Exciting to hear the US and China struck a deal so quickly. All about making sure the relationship between the two countries is mutually beneficial and not one-sided. Exactly what the country voted for.

Even if both series were toss ups, the odds of winning both series would be 25%. You think it’s like half of that? So you basically think/thought we only had a 30-33% chance or so in each series individually? We probably had a 70% chance to win the State series before it began and 40% to win...

The pitching staff will still be really good. DeCaro has been off the last 2 weeks which I trust won’t continue.

Yeah, think we are all in agreement with all of the above. Nothing controversial in your post at all.

Ah! I see the Tuberville thing now. Yes, extremely dumb. Even as someone who supports women’s athletics being a safe space for biological women, Tuberville looks stupid acting like there are entire teams of transgender people dominating women’s sports. Individual athletes here and there? Yes...

No one said women as a gender aren’t as good as men. Quit being so dramatic. It was relevant to the discussion to point out that ESPN still did their normal men’s college gameday every week this season, no more no less. When I first read WM’s post I thought he meant ESPN had sent their Gameday...

WM said “Gameday was just in Raleigh last week at Reynolds for a women's hoops game” as a way to defend his premise that women’s sports are more popular than ever. I just wanted to point out that it wasn’t like they chose a women’s game for Gameday on a Saturday over doing a men’s game. Apples...

Say what? Which women’s sports? SEC women’s basketball and softball - AKA the two most significant women’s sports - are both miles ahead of the Big Ten.

I don’t disagree with you they’re more popular than ever but they didn’t go to Raleigh for that ahead of a men’s game did they? The women’s game was on Sunday. I assume they did their normal Saturday men’s college gameday too.

I don’t disagree with you there. There are lots of ways to tax rich people more besides just trying to tax their unrealized gains, which has all kinds of pitfalls involved. I’m unclear if you even think taxing unrealized gains is a good idea or not, so I’m not saying you advocated for it.
