    Abortion is towards the bottom of the list of key issues for voters according to polling I’ve seen. Tied with January 6th towards the bottom well behind inflation and crime. Those 2 issues are important to suburban women and they’ll most likely come back to the GOP fold. At least that’s my hope.


    For context, I live 15 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. Trump won my precinct by like 3 points in 2020.

    Literally every single political ad I’ve gotten in the mail has a statement on abortion.

    This is one I got today for the Republican US house candidate, who knows people care so little about abortion that he is mailing 12x16 cards with the only message trying to obfuscate the fact that he supports a nationwide abortion ban.

  2. LIV Golf forms strategic alliance with MENA Tour in hopes of securing rankings points for players

     

    The MENA Tour, a feeder circuit that has staged tournaments in the Middle East and North Africa, had been shuttered for more than two years during the COVID-19 pandemic before staging a tournament in May. Founded by the Dubai-based Shaikh Maktoum Golf Foundation in 2011, the MENA Tour was recognized by the OWGR governing board in May 2016.

    In a news release on Wednesday, the MENA Tour said the "alliance will boost the MENA Tour's development programs and immediately qualify LIV Golf for OWGR points, starting with the LIV Golf Thailand event at Stonehill this week."

    "This is a very exciting day for the MENA Tour and our players," MENA Tour commissioner David Spencer said in a statement. "Through this alliance, our players will now have enhanced playing opportunities and stronger pathways. This is great news for the future of many young players on our Tour."

    Through the partnership, all LIV golfers also become members of the MENA Tour, according to Spencer. MENA events have purses of $75,000.

    "We are taking this mutually beneficial action to support the game at the developmental level and because of the importance and fairness of LIV golfers qualifying for OWGR points," LIV Golf president and COO Atul Khosla said in a statement. "We're pleased to create pathways that give more opportunities for young players, while also giving fans rankings that include all the world's best golfers."

    OWGR statement:


    So LIV just co-branded their next two tournaments as MENA tournaments and expected that would be sufficient to get them owgr points for those two events.

    The Causeway bridge is the large one in that shot. It is the first span on the right that is out. It leads to two islands with low lying bridges between them and Sanibel. It’s basically FT Myers, causeway bridge, island, low clearance bridge, island, bridge, Sanibel (out of shot to the left). Some pictures earlier made it look like the connecting bridges may be completely down also. Looks like the ferries will have to get back up and running.

    Looking at Google Maps, all these things are basically just sandbars. They could not be more exposed. Any loss of human life is unimaginably tragic, but I'm having a really hard time understanding how anyone could justify staying put in a place like that with a Category 4/5 bearing down.

    Just doing a quick survey of street view on google maps, the number of single story, ground level houses is alarming. Yea your cinder block house might not blow away from the wind, but what are you going to do when the whole thing is under water?

    Oddly enough, Fox was initially among the broadcast companies that wouldn't work with LIV. That changed when Lachlan Murdoch, the executive chairman and CEO of Fox Corp., reportedly forced the company to be involved with LIV, according to Golfweek.

    I’d love to know how much he was personal paid by the Saudi’s to force that move.

    Clifford doesn't look terribly accurate in the 20 minutes that I've been watching.

    He got hit low late in the first half. He missed the first drive of the second half. True freshman with a cannon came in and his WRs let him down. Back to the 6th year sr after he came back out of the locker room. 

    he’s playing hurt for the thousandth time.
