Thank you to Grant Grissom for this in today’s New York Times. If only Republicans in Congress had one-tenth of this courage.

Just a thought: If the anti-socialist crowd decided to forego Social Security and Medicare, that might provide more aid to those who believe in these beneficial programs. 🤔

After watching replays, that was disgraceful. Win with dignity, lose with class.

Anyone thought that the Giants GM said on Hard Knocks that the Giants didn’t pay a QB $140 million to hand the ball off, and now the QB is gone and Saquon Barkley is winning games for the Eagles? 🤦🏻‍♂️

To: The folks here. From: Me. Re: Editorial in today’s @nytimes.com saying the president elect cannot act like a monarch. … Little late getting that point to the people, no?

A graphic with a photo of President Dwight Eisenhower on the right and a Social Security pillar on the left. The graphic quotes Eisenhower saying, ““Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”

If anyone tries to destroy Social Security and steal our earned benefits, they will pay a heavy political price.

Like I'm a third grader, can someone explain to me why this site is better moderated and safer than that other one? Thanks.

I’m in favor of that, but might I post opinions?

First post here. Still trying to absorb it all. Any advice to a newbie former sportswriter/Cleveland guy?
