It amazes me that we have not had a directed verdict in the Rittenhouse case.
There was apparently a walkout at a Massachusetts school over what has been described as racist comments by a student that were in a video as students demanded an explanation.
Now I haven’t seen the video so I don’t know what these comments were, but let me provide an explanation for these students that will apply no matter what was said:
Teenagers’ do stupid things
In America people have the right to say stupid things
I’ve been called a cracker for making these points, but in fairness to the idiots who did so young people don’t know they are ignorant because they don’t have the experience to realize it. It isn’t till you are older that you realize how little you knew when you were young.
That story reminded me of the favorite teacher of my youth. Mrs. Thresa Mahoney died recently at the age of 97. Born the same year as my mother she was my 4th and 7th grade teacher at St. Anthony di Padua Catholic school, she taught English and always challenged us to think and more importantly taught us to think critically.
That was back in 1972 and 1975 Twenty five years later when My sons were at St. Anthony she was in the library and still teaching a Latin course that my oldest took before retiring in her early eighties She ended up outliving the school that she loved.
Oh if those idiots only had teachers like her, but alas she was not only a faithful Catholic but still knew how many actual genders there were so they would have chased her away .
Was it not just 5 years ago that if an FBI agent had knocked on my door that I would have let him or her in and presumed that they were functioning in the best interest of the country?
That the FBI has been willing to throw this away amazes me to no end, but even worse that there are apparently not enough people within the organization who are willing to fight this internally.
But then again as I’ve gotten older I’ve learned that for people it takes more courage to risk one’s life than to risk one’s pension and position particularly if your position involves risking one’s life anyways.
This is the natural and logical cost of a stolen election that people didn’t see when they decided to let it go.
Finally we seem to be getting closer and closer to the point where to quote King George III on Americans “Blows must decide if they are to be subject to this country or independent.”
The left continues to act as if the people of the right are going to continue to meekly take blows, but I would remind them of this opening scene in the movie Casino Royale.
Once we get to that opening scene then it’s going to get very bad and I really don’t think people understand what that is going to mean for the life we’ve enjoyed in America to this point.
Unless we are very careful as a nation we are going to get an education in just how good we had it before surrendering our institutions to the left.
It’s my fervent hope and prayer that we don’t’ cross that line because I suspect once it’s crossed it won’t be uncrossed

I’ve decided to make a change to the Waivers rules in order to minimize the amount of chasing I have to do to find out who wants what for a pick. The current system while practical for a face to face league get rather difficult when you have a dozen players all over the country.
So without further ado here is are the new rules which will apply to both Waivers and Early waivers.
Waivers
Waivers for all teams will begin week 6 of the season and will end when rosters expand in September. “Early Waivers” will take place before this but only teams who have forgone draft picks will be eligible for early waivers.
All players that have a card for the season played that are not currently on a team’s Roster or DL will be eligible to be picked off waivers.
A team may only acquire one player off of waivers each week.
The waivers procedure will function as follows:
Waiver Claims
Starting on Saturday Morning a 12:01 AM EST any team may make a waivers claim for any player not on a Roster or DL of any other team.
Said claim is made by sending a message to the league and/or commissioner via the Dynasty system. A claim may also be made by posting it in the slack room.
Said claim must include the name of the player, the position he plays and what team is on his card.
If no team has made a counter claim by 1 AM EST on the following TUESDAY the player will be placed on the claiming teams 35 man roster.
If the team is already at the Roster limit the claiming team MUST room for said player by either releasing a player already on the roster or placing a player already injured on the DL.
If a eligible team with an equal or inferior winning percentage makes a counter claim before that time then the waivers pick is forfeited to the team making the counter claim. If multiple eligible teams make such a claim the team with the lowest winning percentage shall have their claim upheld.
Waiver Counter Claims
When a team announces a waivers claim or counter claim any eligible team may, if they choose, make their own counter claim for said player.
A counter claim is made by replying to an original claim either via the Dynasty system using the MESSAGE ALL TEAMS button and/or making said counter claim publicly in slack (if possible do both but the Dynasty message takes precedence)
A team may make a counter claim for a player picked in waivers if ALL of these conditions are true:
The team making the counter claim has an equal or inferior winning percentage than the claiming (or counter claiming) team
The team making the counter claim has not already acquired a player off waivers that weekend due to a successful claim or counter claim.
EARLY WAIVERS ONLY The team making the claim must be eligible for early waivers for that round
One an eligible team has made a valid counter claim they are treated as if they were the original claiming team for the player and if no valid counter claim is made by 1 AM EST TUESDAY the player will go on their 35 man roster at which time said team.
As with regular waivers the player MUST go on the 35 man roster, if there is no room the claiming team must either release a player or place an already injured player on the DL.
All players released to make room for a player claimed in waivers will be placed in the waivers pool for the following week.
The great part of this new system is that people who have no interest in waivers can ignore it while people interested in waivers will be able to dive right in.
Here is the Current waivers list.
