Hell of a job by Jake Corman here.

“The Department of State’s directive is an attack on the General Assembly’s power to review, investigate, and legislate in matters within its legislative authority, which includes Pennsylvania’s election system.

The Legislature has clear authority – both statutorily and constitutionally – to provide oversight and issue subpoenas. This directive tramples those rights which were specifically put in place to prevent potential abuses and overreach by the Executive Branch.”

It’s time to stand up to Governor Wolf, Shapiro, Fetterman, and every other member of that administration.
It was their last minute unilateral changes to election law that wove chaos into the system. Those changes made half our state mistrust the process. The responsibility for that lack of faith is on them. Period.

Good on Jake Corman for saying enough is enough!

"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...

I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory.

It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior.

It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.

That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.

When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.

Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."

Dawg88, you are in Atlanta not that far from me, I started to listen a little back with Eric Erickson, a rhino of course, I know he said he bought it for Trump but I know he can’t stand Trump, says anybody back and burn in Jones and not the traditional Republicans is a death sentence for Georgia. I don’t believe that, I believe he could be deep state, controlled opposition, I know he worked for CNN for a while and still has ties there.I’m with burning I just hope that this is the right direction

I'm in a discussion about the vaccine, and was just sent this relatively short article in the spoiler.

Does anyone have any good response to it? I need to be able to defend my argument well in this instance, and would appreciate any help anyone could give.

These people are essentially as far from red pilled as possible so nothing that seems conspiracy-ish will have a prayer - this includes data on vaccine deaths and side effects unless it comes from a "reputable" source.

Much appreciated, thank you!

The unnecessary death march of the unvaccinated​

COVID-19 vaccines have proved wildly effective. For various reasons, millions remain unprotected.​




Last month, COVID-19 killed 130 people in Maryland, all unvaccinated. At least 160 children and adults at a Texas church summer camp tested positive for coronavirus; only six of those infected were vaccinated. Hospitals in Springfield, Mo., are so overwhelmed with cases among the unvaccinated that they’ve run out of ventilators and are transferring some patients to other parts of the state.
President Biden is begging Americans to “please get vaccinated now.”
“It works, it’s free, it’s never been easier,” he said Tuesday. “It’s never been more important. Do it now for yourself and the people you care about — for your neighborhood, for your country. It sounds corny, but it’s a patriotic thing to do.”
COVID-19 vaccination rates have stalled. Appeals to patriotism won’t work. Incentives ranging from gift cards to “vax lotteries” have failed. In Massachusetts, less than half of those eligible for the state’s first “VaxMillions” lottery on July 26 have registered.

If saving your own life and the lives of loved ones isn’t enough incentive to get vaccinated, then free weed, as Washington state has promised residents who get vaccinated by July 12, was never going to make a difference. After all the progress made, a needlessly prolonged pandemic puts everyone at risk — including those who’ve already submitted to the needle’s pinch.

Respect the Delta variant, but don’t fear it — unless you’re not vaccinatedMasking indoors in the age of the Delta variant
According to a Georgetown University study, five clusters with low vaccination rates, most of them in the South and Midwest, are fueling new COVID-19 cases. About 15 million people live in these areas where the fully vaccinated rate is a dismal 28 percent of all people. Nationwide, the vaccination rate is 48 percent — better, but not great.
Scientists fear the unvaccinated clusters could be breeding grounds for even deadlier COVID-19 variants.
“We know that if you give the virus the opportunity to circulate and replicate, you give it the opportunity to generate more variants,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, told CNN.
That’s already happened with the highly contagious Delta variant responsible for many of the recent cases. “The 2020 version of COVID-19 on steroids” is how Andy Slavitt, a former senior adviser to Biden’s COVID response team, described the variant. “Fortunately, unlike 2020, we actually have a tool that stops the Delta variant in its tracks: It’s called a vaccine.”
Why people aren’t getting vaccinated varies. Among Black and Latinx people, rates have improved but still lag. Based on centuries of racist mistreatment that continues to this day, medical mistrust remains an issue. Even more important is access. Failing to put an emphasis on disproportionately affected communities, early rollouts didn’t meet people where they are in their communities, such as offering hours to accommodate inflexible work schedules.
Rapper Juvenile is trying to encourage some of his fans to get vaccinated. Teaming up with BLK, a dating app, he retooled his hip-hop classic “Back That (Thang) Up” into a pro-vaccine anthem, “Vax That Thang Up,” with Mannie Fresh and Mia X:
Girl, you looks good, won’t you vax that thang up
You’s a handsome young brother, won’t you vax that thang up


Juvenile, who said he is vaccinated, told CNN, “I felt like it was a great way to put awareness out there, especially for people like me and people that look like me.”
Unfortunately, that song is unlikely to remove the greatest hurdle to herd immunity. Whether it was masking up and socially distancing or now is getting vaccinated, political polarization has been the virus’s most compliant vector. With distrust and disinformation sown by Fox News and extremist GOP legislators, Republicans are far less likely than Democrats to get vaccinated. Many still cling to false beliefs first spurred by former President Trump that COVID-19′s threat is exaggerated or that they are not vulnerable.
If they could, the four million killed worldwide and the more than 600,000 dead Americans would say otherwise.

Especially in counties that voted for Donald Trump, vaccination rates are dire, and in this round more young people are getting infected and sick. In 24 states, cases are up at least 10 percent; inevitably, deaths will follow that trend.
What I would have given for a vaccine during the first pandemic of my lifetime — AIDS. Instead of settling into careers and relationships, my friends were writing wills and planning funerals. Despite a cocktail of drugs that changed AIDS from a probable death sentence into a chronic but manageable disease, there is still no vaccine 40 years after the first cases garnered public attention.
Having three effective COVID-19 vaccines has altered the lives of millions.
Yet with stagnant vaccination rates, we’re witnessing a march of unnecessary infection, sickness, and death. It doesn’t need to happen. Whether it comes from the president, Juvenile, your pastor, or best friend, the lifesaving message is the same — to quell this devastating pandemic, everyone needs to vax that thang up.

For Georgia - ND 2017, we were allocated 8000 seats, but ended up taking about half of the stadium.

Same thing. A fan base that has never been to South Bend spent a fuck ton of $$$$ to ND ticket holders.

Edit: Does it irritate me? Sure, but I can't blame them when they sell one ticket that pays for their entire Season Ticket Fee and then some in some instances.

Being insulted by a Longhorn fan truly is ironic

It’s such a shitty little stadium to begin with. Nearly froze my balls off going there.

If they only believe MSM and as far from red pilled as you say you probably are just spinning your wheels.
