    Got to love it, Biden has been saying crazy things this whole campaign cycle, and nobody on the left bats an eye. But one weird comment about race and they lose their minds over there!

    I feel like some of his gaffes, like this one in particular are used to steal the spotlight away from stuff like the Tara Reade debacle.

    Correct, the company did not and should be made to pay by state and federal government

    Boyce argued that it lowered water levels in part to conform to federal protocols because of the known threat of a dam failure in a substantial storm. In a statement late Wednesday, Boyce claimed it was pressured by the state as recently as April to raise Wixom Lake levels in order to appease shoreline residents.

    There it is and to protect mussels, well done again gov and Michigan:(.

    Federal standards require that dams that could present a significant danger to life and property if they failed must be able to accommodate the largest predictable storm — known as the probable maximum flood — a requirement the Edenville Dam does not meet.

    But the standard is lower under Michigan law, which requires high hazard dams to be designed to handle half that, or the equivalent of a 200-year flood. According to federal records, Edenville meets Michigan's capacity requirement.

    Perhaps having the same standard as the federal gov would be prudent.

    So sick of seeing people not recognizing disgraceful acts.

    Tonight after the Coca Cola 600, a race deidcated to the memory of those who sacrificed all for us to enjoy the very freedoms we are accustomed to, Keslowski participated in his traditional victory celebration displaying the flag of the United States of America.

    Beyond his control it dislodged from its placement and when he stopped to climb out it was draped on the ground.

    He grabbed it and held onto it throughout the postrace interview but never acknowledged the flag touching the ground and proper disposal afterwards. If thr flag touches the ground it shall be burned in a ceremonial fashion.

    People need educated on this if they do not understand, and those that intentionally disrespect the flag need to be held accountable.

    I learned this crap in 4th grade when I used to lower and fold the flag. I was upset wheen Shaun White did it at the Olymics of all places, and I stand just as offended now when a race dedicated to our fallen sees the same ignorance, yet not intentional like some of the disgusting beings of this country.

    Funny how it is reported that Minnesota Gov Walz brokered a deal to allow churches to reopen, that is not how it works comrade. He deemed abortion clinics essential but churches have to get his permission to reopen.

    I wish I could share the email from our bishop, put this all in persective and we are not opening even when the state say we can. The church is putting life and safety over politics.

    So it is safe to go to Walmart but not church? Politicians deciding what is safe and what is not. I get the need for shutting things down but some of the decisions are politically motivated.

    OMG Germ, can you just stop and think a bit please.
    He's using his God given right to choose how to run his church. His congregation can choose to agree or not to agree with him. They have a choice to go else where or stay home. So if you are seeing his choice as political by saying he's not playing politics, then remember this. IT IS REPUBLICANS THAT HAVE FOUGHT FOR his right to make that choice. Not every state gov. Shut down church worship remember that .

    Well if masks should be worn by everyone, if they are so effective why not mask up and go worship?
