@atensnut When he was running for President the first time (‘92), I knew nothing about him. Went to Little Rock for business and asked around. NOBODY had good words to say about him, NOBODY. I was astounded...
The NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles almost killed Jalen Hurts for a Week 5 international showcase.
The full details of what happened behind closed doors in London just surfaced, and the negligence is staggering.
Before kickoff in London, Hurts was in a hospital bed until 4:00 AM undergoing emergency vascular testing. Medical staff instructed him not to sleep because sleep was considered an active health risk.
Instead of shutting down their $255 million franchise quarterback, the team cleared him to play 60 minutes of brutal, high-impact collision football on zero sleep.
Then, they loaded him onto a pressurized, 8-hour transatlantic flight back to Philadelphia.
Every doctor on the planet knows that long-haul flights and cabin pressure are the exact triggers that cause lower-extremity blood clots to break free. The Eagles spent days assuring the public it was just a "minor, superficial calf clot".
Now the truth comes out: the clot dislodged, shot through his bloodstream, and caused multiple pulmonary emboli in his lungs.
Hurts is officially out for the season, placed on blood thinners where taking a single routine tackle could cause a fatal internal hemorrhage.
He isn't just lucky to play football again, he is lucky to be alive.
When the NFL preaches "player safety," remember this moment. They ran a human being into the ground for television ratings in the UK, almost lost him to a preventable medical catastrophe, and cratered their entire season in the process.
Who inside that building signed off on letting him play and board that flight?
So my office got a voter registration card for a Hispanic man claiming to live at this address. This is a business. This is what they do - this is how they cheat. This person committed a felony by registering to vote with a false address, and I guarantee you he is illegal.

Jalen Hurts was told by doctors not to sleep as a precaution after being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot, so he stayed awake for 36 hours before starting against the Jaguars in Week 5 🤯
He played well and nearly led the Eagles to a win 😮
