The questions not asked: Less than two weeks after collapsing on the field, the Buffalo Bills confirm Damar Hamlin is out of the hospital, and has even visited with his team. Did you know, from 1970 to 2020 (50 years) 1,312 athletes suffered from cardiac arrest and died. That’s roughly 26 per YEAR. From 2021 to 2022 (1 year) 1,598 athletes have suffered cardiac arrests and died. That’s an increase of… HOLY SHAT!!! What changed? WHAT CHANGED?
Lost Angeles: In internal e-mails Chief Michel Moore said that “public lobbies should only contain official items” and that the display of thin blue line flags is “unnecessary for our mission.” His messages were in response to a recent “community complaint” about the display of the flag in the front lobby of the LAPD’s Olympic Station near MacArthur Park.

Letter to the Editor: 1/14/23 : “To kick off Climate Change Hawaii 2023, Gov. Josh Green pledged to commit $100 million plus of the stateʻs $1.9 billion budget surplus to a climate impact fund to fight climate change and preserve the state’s natural resources. Meanwhile, I’m paying $8 for a dozen eggs, $5 for a gallon of gas, and have to have my vehicle realigned three times a year due to the pot holes I have to drive over every day. The climate change soothsayers are what, 0 for 26? Sorry, I can think for better uses for that “surplus”.” Printed on a Saturday, when there is only the inter-webz subscription only version.
Can anyone tell me what the hell this is a statue of? Anyone?? Please???
