Visiting the 9/11 site within 9 months of 9/11 or working below Canal Street in that time frame and if you are diagnosed with SEVENTY types of cancer, it is prima facia evidence that you are eligible for the 3 various 9/11 funds !

Till 2090 !

Matt's partner on patrol was on the site for months, he has been dead from cancers for 5 + years.

One of my bosses in the Security Company worked at Staten Island separating dump loads of debris. He gets checked over every 6 months and is OK still.

I know two friends that have various cancers that are in the fund, waiting their turn.

Oops.

He has claimed he helped “a little bit.” At an April 2016 rally in Buffalo he said: “Everyone who helped clear the rubble — and I was there, and I watched, and I helped a little bit.”

The irony in Biden voters crushing on Trump's potential dementia is pure gold. The jokes can just write themselves.
Did he complain about Hillary supposedly getting shot at in the Balkan War, which was completely false?

I must have hit a nerve by calling Trump names. I always thought you were a closet Trumper. I remember when UNCOACH use to pretend he was uncommited and not a Trump lover.
I like most Trump policies I’ve also mentioned things of which I disagree with him. Your Party has gone off the deep end and cannot be elected. You don’t know what a woman is. You’ve reduced them to “birthing persons” and think biological men belong in womens sports. You want to tax unrealized gains, which does nothing but punish investment. You don’t believe in private property. You hate Jews and love the radicals of the one religion that turns everything to crap when they take over. That is what the movement is within your party. Everything your Party has promoted since 2000 is regressive. That made the choice of not sitting out the 2024 election, as squishes here did, quite easy. Your Party wants to eliminate the electoral college. Thanks to people like me, Trump won the popular vote. Eat recycled food, buddy!

Nah, just calling out the hypocrisy. They all suck. One of the main reasons I didn’t support Trump was because he was too old. None of this surprises me.
Indeed my biggest ***** was the Boomers created so many problems in our country. Why would we elect them one more time? It was time to move on, but the Party that doesn’t hold no kings protests decided that no one else deserved to run in 2024 and Trump should have run unopposed.

No one can compare Biden in 2020 to Trump in 2026. I would rather have an old, tired man, than an old, demented Hitler/Putin wannabe. Anyone voting for Trump, and allowing the damage to our economy, system of government and justice, surrounding himself with incompetent stooges and losing a war to a third-rate power, should surrender their voting privileges, and be too embarrassed to post..
Your delusion knows no bounds. The human voted into office didn't make the decisions for the USA. As a person with a law degree, you ought care. Nobody is surprised that doesn't concern you. You are rarely a serious person.

I went to one in high school, because the hoops basket and backboard were hung on the wall on one end of the pseudo gym, with no space to avoid smacking into the brick wall. I ran into the wall and punished my back.

Half a dozen adjustments and I was fine...

I have had one for about 25 years who has a sports background. I think in all of those years I only had one issue that required a follow-up visit. There have been years I haven’t needed him. He also doesn’t necessarily make a bunch of adjustments. He will show exercises and other unique ways to fix things. Somewhat unusual for that field from what I know, which may be worth a bag of very used baseballs.

Mary Anne had a sciatic nerve issue. She tried bone crunchers (chiro), various massage types, medications and finally acupuncture that worked.

Now she does stretching and pool swims, when our pool is open.

How about hot tubs, we have room to install on the pool deck for winter.
Large number (40+) of solar panels installed this summer, so that should kill the electric bill to keep it hot.

Ol’ Benny didn’t do Trump credit. The spoken delivery was much better! :ROFLMAO:


We used to get a meat delivery from a friend that we met in softball as a ref.
Then we found out he also did football, hoops and bases.

He would deliver AND slice the cuts into freezer sizes for meals.

"Can't beat the meat !", was his motto and on his business cards.

I have to add that the Chiro I visited in high school for my jammed back from running into the wall on one end of the hoops court, WAS ON the mainland, in "Southie" so I was able to get off Thompson Island for my "adjustments".

So did he "adjust" me to health, or was it the trips to the mainland as a teenager ! Teen girls from "Southie" would regularly meet the boat as it tied up at the dock in "Southie".

Senator Talarico's handlers want him to get elected.

"Regarding his past comment about there being more than two genders, Talarico said he does not currently believe there are six sexes".

"I've missed the mark on some of my past statements. I will be the first to admit it," he said. "What I meant is that there are two sexes, and then there's a small percentage of people with genetic abnormalities."

His revelation now includes being against transgender surgeries for children. He didn't comment on whether God is still non-binary.

And this is the character of the candidate Texas wants in the Senate. AOC looks forward to guiding him on the issues.

Former VA Governor Youngkin has been all over this one. Any halfwit could understand Spanberger was a far left intelligence operator who campaigned as a moderate. That is their playbook. Wolves in sheeps’ clothing. Do not believe them.

The most Hispanic precincts in VA and NJ had something like 30-40% swings against Republicans from 2024 to 2025.

So yes, this adds up. We are doing it again, just like 2025.

And those were Gov races, so you saw midterm level turnout in VA and NJ in 2025.

The RGV is probably the biggest GOP regression region in the entire country. Which is a big part of WHY I TOLD THE IDIOTS THAT PAXTON WAS A DISASTER IN THE MAKING. Paxton will do worse than Cornyn would have down there, but both were screwed in the RGV. Which means that suburbs were going to mean even more, and Paxton is literally created in a lab to suck in the burbs, while Cornyn obliterated Trump in Texas burbs in 2020.

It looks like the men will break hard right again. The women that are incapable of convicting (a woman that admitted to choking the life out of her three kids) of murder will go left again. Imagine that. Turnout will be crucial. Can Trump rally a base that usually sits out while their party is in power? We will see.

I know you don't follow polling closely, but the citing of crosstabs from a poll or two (crosstabs are much less statistically significant than topline numbers because they are smaller) doesn't really tell us much. That's what is happening above, ignore it.

Will Trump do better among men? Of course, more men are Rs and more women are Dems. Will Rs keep Trump 2024 margins among men? Almost certainly not. There are some groups that Trump will hold up better than others, but with the genders each being 50%, I wouldn't expect Rs to have a bad election if the numbers among men are decent relative to 2024 (vice versa if those numbers are bad).

Usually the party citing to random crosstabs is in big trouble.

Separately you win elections with the middle and independents. Trump did it twice, and lost them once.

This base stuff is for people who just want their own side's radicalism, not any moderation. The base matters, but it usually shows up. Moderates and independents actually make an active selection, they just don't pull the lever for their team.

And our base split right now is about 44-44. It's the other 12% that matter.
