I rescind this - Peacock running ad breaks against a game on a paid platform is mega-trash

I think the most interesting point no one is talking about is that the CFP has literally written into its principles a justification for leaving out FSU.

“Unavailability of key players that likely will affect its postseason performance.”

I’m still glad Pete Golding isn’t Alabama’s DC anymore

[Peter Burns @PeterBurnsESPN]

Violent hit, but don’t think it was clear cut targeting.

Didn’t seem late, nor do I think he launched.

Bang bang play, wish they would have taken more time to review and confirm.

But don’t think it merited an ejection.

It’s not why LSU lost the game.

Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Carlos Correa, Dansby Swanson and Francisco Lindor signed $1.3 BILLION worth of contracts and are hitting a combined .246 with a .733 OPS this season. That's about the same offensive production as 37-year-old Carlos Santana (.237 BA, .730 OPS).

We have a lot of followers living in that part of the country who may be able to help. Please keep an eye out, report if you see anything, and share if you can. Truly a horrifying situation. Pray she's found safe and sound.

As a young Democrat (I'm no longer a Democrat) advocating for gun control, I never owned a single firearm. However, a criminal invaded my home and proceeded to shoot me with a gun obtained through a straw purchase.

Upon becoming a gun owner, I encountered the usual criticism from my friends and family who support gun control. To them, owning a gun meant succumbing to fear and paranoia, and by their logic, it implied letting the gun lobby prevail. Apart from my best friend, hardly anyone supported the notion.

You see, my family and friends are staunch Democrats. They believed in every stereotype about guns and gun culture: "Guns are only for the police and criminals," "Gun culture is a good old white boys club," and "White people would kill black gun owners."

These stereotypes and falsehoods were fed to me, thanks to popular gun-control narratives. After enduring a gunshot wound and undergoing months of hospitalization and physical therapy, I resolved to delve into research on guns, gun culture, and gun laws.

After extensive research, I discovered the extent of misinformation spread by the news media. I also came to the realization of the ineffectiveness of gun control laws. The individual who shot me was able to bypass these laws intended to prevent criminals from acquiring firearms by having his girlfriend make an illegal gun purchase.

Gun control solely penalizes the innocent. its true intention has always been to empower the ruling class, prioritizing their safety rather than that of the average citizen.

As I immersed myself in pro-gun circles, I was astonished to discover the remarkable diversity within the gun community, including individuals of Black, Hispanic, Asian, LGBTQ, and female backgrounds. Unfortunately, the gun control news media deliberately disregards these groups to promote a misleading narrative that suggests only straight white men are involved in gun ownership and gun culture.

The media employs this tactic to portray gun culture as racist, aiming to manipulate future generations and facilitate the relinquishment of their Second Amendment rights. Over the past 12 years, I have witnessed gun ownership shift from a source of American pride to a stigmatized and wrongly associated notion with taboos and racism.

A culture war is being waged against those who wholeheartedly uphold the Second Amendment. If you don't assist in the enactment of extensive gun control laws, the irrational gun control community labels you as a proponent of gun violence. However, nothing could be further from the truth.

The Second Amendment community holds deep concerns about criminal violence and remains resilient against being swayed by emotionally charged gun legislation following a tragedy. We strive to address the genuine root causes of all forms of violence, without limiting our focus to a single type. Our commitment extends to combating violence in its entirety.

The pro gun control crowd has overlooked a crucial aspect of the Second Amendment community: violence is the issue at hand, irrespective of the tool employed to perpetrate it. Branding someone as hostile solely based on gun ownership hinders our ability to engage in constructive conversations about firearms and violence

I don't possess all the answers, nor do I intend to feign knowledge that I lack. We recognize that the individuals we elected are not genuinely invested in addressing the numerous underlying factors contributing to violence. Blaming gun culture as the primary source is an easier route to take.

🚨#BREAKING: Reports of a loud explosion at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

📌#Seattle | #Washington

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport underwent a temporary closure due to a hazardous package left unattended on the ticketing level. Multiple specialized units, including the bomb squad, were immediately mobilized to respond to the situation. As a precaution, a bomb disposal robot was utilized to navigate the area, and a controlled explosion was carried out. There is no longer a threat.
