This kind of performance of values that prominent liberal people violate with nearly every waking breath is a deep elite cultural sickness that is leading many people to think that nothing matters and that plays a huge role in the rise of fascism.

they should know that 92% of House Republicans just voted against a standalone bill that would simply cap the cost of insulin at $35/month.

Everyone should also know that this is misleading.

The bill caps the co-pay at $35/month, not the cost. Uninsured patients will still get billed the entire amount, and Pharma will still charge insurance companies whatever they damn well feel like charging, and the insurance companies will raise premiums to compensate.

Just more performative bullshit from the Democrats.

Ya know, I have held a pretty positive attitude towards Aaron Rodgers most of his career. He’s a good player, and he grew up in my childhood home town.

But in the past year, his arrogance, sense of entitlement, and especially his dickishness to his teammates has been revealed. I heard some espn types talking about how aloof Rodgers is from most of his teammates, including Adams, with whom he had no relationship. They contrasted that with Brady who has worked the phones trying to get players to join him. Rodgers couldn’t be bothered to try to keep Adams, his only real weapon. Apparently, he’s the lord, and his teammates are the serfs.

So…I hope his career ends with irrelevancy.

I’m casting my vote that Matthew Stafford becomes the defining QB of the 20s.

1/ Big Arrow War—a primer. For all those scratching their heads in confusion, or dusting off their dress uniforms for the Ukrainian victory parade in Kiev, over the news about Russia’s “strategic shift”, you might want to re-familiarize yourself with basic military concepts.

Well…I guess the Bengals could have made adjustments, and yada, yada, but that’s basically the way the game was going until OBJ went down. That’s for sure. I’ve said it before, but I think the Rams would have steamrolled the Bengals with OBJ.

When I first saw this headline, my gut reaction was…”The 49ers front office doesn’t have any enticing offers on the table, and are trying to tease one out.”

Now, the latest rumor is that the 9ers may be forced to cut Garappolo.

ProFootballTalk says this:

Earlier today, we looked at what the 49ers will do with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. And here’s the reaction to the item was posted: the 49ers will have a hard time trading Garoppolo.

The problem arises from the full set of circumstances surrounding his situation. The biggest problem, as one league source explained it on Saturday, is the shoulder surgery Garoppolo underwent earlier this month. No one will trade for a quarterback with a $25 million compensation package after he underwent surgery to repair the labrum in his throwing shoulder, the source explained.

Throw in the fact that Garoppolo had the surgery without consulting with the 49ers, and it makes every team that otherwise would be interested in Garoppolo very leery.

Unless Garoppolo is willing to do a new contract as part of a trade (and why would he be?), a trade isn’t happened. The most likely result, the source predicted, is that the 49ers will have to cut him.

With none of Garoppolo’s salary becoming guaranteed until the eve of Week One, the 49ers can wait it out. But they won’t get cap relief without cutting him. And because he’s in the last year of his contract, cutting him would leave behind only $1.4 million in dead money — and it would instantly create more than $25 million in cap space.

So they may get nothing for Garoppolo other than cap relief. It’s a considerable amount of cap relief, but no assets from another team.
