a. How is this political?
b. Why would you care about this, enough to write a letter?
c. Agree Jesuits seem pretty OK as far as religions go.

Keep in mind that I was much younger at the time, and hadn’t moved out yet.

Anyway. Some people don’t like the idea of celebrating single motherhood, which implies unmarried motherhood. Like the doctor in the above story. But that doctor forgets that anything he thinks of the mother isn’t the child’s fault. As did the people who wrote that law that enabled him to think that treating the unmarried mom is a bad idea because sinner.

Hence, my side story.

Well, now that the Paramount deal has been approved, but before the new conservative owners take over and the bias guy is imposed, it looks like CBS is willing to call out administration BS:

So the NYC gunman did it because he developed CTE from HS Football.

I have always wondered what the % of people that CTE would affect if they started contact sports (football, rugby etc) when very young.

Wondering how he looked into his brain and found this out, since it usually takes an autopsy to confirm this. Oh, there are signs indicating a high probability…

Also, DUH.

I always wonder about those headers from non-American football.

I added that so as not to confuse the Euro.

The USSF does prohibit heading (practices and matches) in their organizations for players under 11.
Not sure if CTE is as common as it is in carry-ball (though the ball has been made a bit lighter and softer than in the past), since the strategy is not to hit other players Very different from carry-ball, where it is allowed and encouraged and occurs once every minute for three hours.

And, opponents’ heads and elbows are far more likely to be the cause of concussions than the ball.

STILL not a reason to go shoot up the NFL HQs, unless the NFL contributed to his alleged CTE making him bang his head against the wall or a block of wood every for in-game FanBet he lost.

Thanks.

(I learned a new word “carryball”)

I just made that up. I couldn’t remember what other people have started calling it.
Researching, I see: “handegg,” “American Rugby”

Ah, that ancient philosophical question once again.
"How many donors can you fit in a ballroom?’
A classic and favorite.

Maybe he can do something like The Producers – get plenty of excess donations and simply pocket the extra. (Except in this case, I think Trump really wants to build the ballroom.)

I wonder if we will ever see an accounting of donations and expenses.

Edit: also, I had to check, the original White House has 55,000 square feet. This addition will have 90,000 square feet.

(The current WW has 40,000 sqft and the EW has 55,000.)

The biggest donor will get the naming rights unless it will be called the Donald J Trump ballroom.

I have been a lifelong advocate of encouraging physical fitness in the general population but this Trump initiative sounds flawed?
