Any feel on rumors of Colin Kaepernick getting 1year deal with Browns?

Rumors are all I have seen.

I’m keeping fingers crossed, though. I’m buying THAT jersey. Or 4. 😁

Whatcha hearing Cleveland?

Dems getting slammed for spending millions to elect MAGA

Republicans in primary races over Republicans who voted to impeach Trump.

CNN just reported that Dems spent $44million on promoting Trump’s endorsed primary candidates. The report is really making Dems sound sinister and petty…And unprincipled.

I don’t like Dems spending campaign money like this. I can understand a few moves here and there, but, $44m dollar campaign is a major commitment to a dirty tactic.

Just my opinion, but, the way the news networks are reporting the meddling reinforces some of my discomfort with the entire strategy, though these are not ordinary times.

Your mileage may vary.

CDC check calendar. Millions of students back to campus without Covid booster

or booster number 2. My daughter has been unable to schedule her 2nd booster because CDC has not allowed for under 50 yet. She’s heading back to campus in 2 weeks.

I think this is a serious disregard of school timelines on the part of the CDC, especially with this easily spread variant.

HHS, if you’re listening…..Do something!

Pro-Trump group plans 'training center' in Tennessee
…..
A “church” administrator, Gregg Noll, told Sam Luther with WVLT in Knoxville that the reason East Tennessee was selected was our beautiful scenery, the people and the conservative values of Tennessee.

He said, “As a church, we really support the use of firearms, we do firearms training all the time ....”
