This proud liberal city is throwing out its entire government

M
A lesson in stupidity brought to you by liberal democrats. Do you think they will learn?

Wasn't @PaoliLion one of those liberal morons who believed decriminalizing drugs will REDUCE drug use?

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/09/portland-oregon-2024-elections-00182935

PORTLAND, Oregon — Few American cities faced as much chaos as Portland over the last four years. This proudly liberal city has endured more than 100 days of often-violent protests, a fentanyl and homelessness crisis, a pandemic — and, in arguably the nation’s boldest progressive policy experiment in recent history — decriminalization of all drugs.
This November, Portland is undertaking one more chaotic act.

In a sign of either hope or desperation, Rose City voters decided to throw out their entire government structure and replace it with a weaker mayor, expanded City Council and ranked choice voting.

A major driving factor was the passage of “Measure 110” decriminalizing all drugs in 2020, which was backed by 74 percent of Multnomah County’s residents. Voters couldn’t — or at least didn’t — anticipate how this policy change would reshape a city already strapped for money, dealing with a public health crisis and confronting rising rates of homelessness and fentanyl abuse.

Drug use shot up, homelessness worsened and taxpayers fled.

Interesting the Drexel dual the day after all-star. Do we think the guys wrestling in all-stars come back next day and wrestle against Drexel?

Thought I read a few weeks ago, PSU would be at that round robin thing we did last year early in year. Don’t see it on schedule. Assuming we’ll see all starters at Black Knight (are redshirts available to go there as well?)

Teamsters Boss: Dems "F--ked Us"

M
They sure have. It's become the party of white elitists.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v...ought_and_paid_for_by_big_tech_companies.html

SEAN O'BRIEN, TEAMSTERS PRESIDENT: I'll be honest with you, I'm a Democrat, but they have f*cked us over for the last 40 years. Not all of them -- but for once, we are standing up as a union. I'm probably the only one right now saying, WTF have you done for us? And I'm getting attacked from the left.

Since I've been in office, two-and-a-half years, we've given the Democratic machine $15.7 million. We've given Republicans about $340,000 -- truth be told. People say the Democratic Party is the party of the working people. They're bought and paid for by Big Tech -- those Big Tech companies.

You've got the Republicans, who are now saying, we want to be the working-class party. You've got a great opportunity now to do that. And the Democrats, if 60% of our members aren't supporting you, the system's broken and you need to fix it.

Stop pointing fingers at Sean O'Brien and the Teamsters Union. Look in the mirror.

I had a heated debate/discussion two weeks ago with Chuck Schumer, and it got ugly because -- these politicians, the one thing I've learned is they walk in and tell you, "I did this for you." Okay, great, let me tell you what you haven't done for us or our members. We got into it pretty heavy.

I was like, "You had no problem taking $550,000 from me three weeks prior to me going to the Republican convention, and then you want to be a tough guy on Twitter -- like, whatever.

An athlete is not required to sign a Letter of Intent. Some people advise just that, it gives someone options. Since Blaze is awesome, he does not have to do anything....any program in the country will take him whenever he decides.

If you are a lesser athlete and are offered athletic scholarship money, in that case you might want to sign the LOI to lock-in your spot.

The risk used to be that the scholarship money wouldn't be available later -- or at least less of it would be. With the 9.9 limit, schools don't hold large amounts of money back for what-ifs in the spring.

But with NIL, that matters a lot less.

When schools eventually raise funds for the new 30-man roster/scholarship cap, then the LOI deadline will matter less still for a Blaze. At the expense of a depth recruit who will be left twisting in the wind, or forced to sign at a different school in order to have a roster spot.

The SW AA regional was held at Altoona without it being too much of a big deal.

Yes, and the NW AAA regional was held there too. Guessing the D9 and D10 schools are not happy with the travel time (3.5 hrs each way from Erie) and would prefer something closer to home.

Kittaning is almost equidistant from Erie, Waynesburg, and Lock Haven. Regionals should be held somewhere near there.

I like it too. Simpler is better.

The biggest effect will be a new host city for the western regional. Last year's 2 hosts (NW Altoona and SW Canon MacMillan) are inconvenient for a combined regional.

Also, D4-9 will get split up. Will D4 and D9 get their own events, or will they get shoehorned (D4 with D2, D9 with D6 or D10)?

Hopefully this passes.
