maybe the “Tic Tac” shape observed by a U.S. Navy pilot in 2004 ? ?

And maybe Senator Scott needs Ron DeSantis to stumble? Well, that can happen, or it might not. If I was a Republican candidate, I’d advocate— 1) Immigration Reform, which has to involve a decent guest worker program, 2) Economic policy which is pro- middle-class jobs, and 3)...

For the pro game, maybe require offensive and defensive linemen to begin in standing position. And then it becomes more like martial arts sparring and grappling. Might be a net positive. And what I’m really in favor of is doing away with the cheap “defensive holding, 5 yards, and automatic...

Yes. And please notice the first compromises on gun rights and the second on free speech.

I have fond memories of way back in 1977 when I was 14, calling my friend Mike, wondering what was going on with the ROTC ushering at the football game— And yes, they needed me, and it’s nice to be needed, and they’d pick me up at 6:20 [or whatever the heck time it was!] A football game pulls...
