These tight offside decisions are gonna add more supporters for Wenger’s proposed offside rule change.

I know the law has been in existence, but it’s harsh to rule out a goal only because someone was 2cm ahead of the 2nd to last defensive player.

These are the same people that Democrats say they don't pay taxes yet according to you these 0.5% pay 40% of the state taxes

Not only do these top earners pay the most taxes but they are the job creators for the middle and lower class

I feel you will join the Republican party very soon when you see the folly of the Democrats around you
I will remain an Independent though cool

So the whole abortion Roe vs Wade didn't bother them? Interesting.

I guess prices of Grocery and living in safe communities matter to them more than abortion
Definitely, as other demographic groups. Who knows whether the surge of early voting may be from independents and Republicans who are sick of the present economy? I can tell you that in a city close to mine, here in CA, most of the early voting has been attributed to Republicans..

With this happening landlords will have a field day increasing rents since people won't be able to afford mortgages. Mortgage companies will layoff staff massively with Wells Fargo already doing that

At the end Biden will blame landlords
You’re spot on. But, eventually there will be a crash (not just a correction) in the housing market (including rentals) when the demand slumps to its lowest ebb

White suburban women have swung their support back to Republicans in a massive 27% swing since August shocked
This is significant because White suburban women (and Black women) were largely responsible for giving Democrats their majority in Congress in 2018, and Biden winning the White House two years later.

0.5% of California’s top income earners pay approx 40% of the state’s tax revenue.
So, if these pay leave the state in droves, the state may increase the tax burden on the middle and working classes, increasing their cost of living

There are job cuts . Musk plans to rid 75% of twitter.
there have been many companies not employing and laying off redudant workers who earn a payslip for no reason. And the same orgs hiring fresh wokesters/ workers after covid. Which FJB touts as job creatiom. Big lie.
Joe is restoring jobs not creating ones out of thin air.
Musk has since retracted his 75% firing idea. However, I still think he will fire between 25-30% of Twitter’s workforce

I knew it can’t be only the runway that would cost that much
Politics › Second Abuja Airport Runway To Gulp N72bn by PDPGuy(op): 1:39am On Nov 04, 2022
The proposed second runway for the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja will cost about N72 billion, the National Assembly has stated.

Speaking on the sideline at the oversight function of the national assembly committee on Aviation at the airport, the chairman House committee on Aviation, Nnolim Nnaji said the cost of the new runway is put at N72 billion and this will involve a lot of logistics.

Hon. Nnaji explained that the cost covers lightening, infrastructure, buildings and the construction of the 4.2 kilometres of runway.

He also said the runway will be the longest in West Africa if completed and commended the minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika for the project.

Nnaji said “We have been expecting this construction to take off because we are aware that we have been funding budget to accommodate for the second runway which is very important to this country. Abuja being the capital of Nigeria with an aggressive infrastructural development and economic activities, we feel that it is important to have another runway. This runway when completed will be the longest runway in west Africa; 4.2 kilometres against the existing runway which is about 3.7 kilometres.
“This one is coming with control tower, taxi way and other facilities. At the second phase of this project, we also expect that we will have a terminal building around this place.

“We are happy with this project and we congratulate ourselves for the success. We learnt that the project will be completed in less than 12 months because the minister said with aggressive funding, this project will be commissioned before the end of the tenure.

So we expect that as important as this project, we think in less than six months, this project can be completed and commissioned. We also expect that the project will have a maintenance period of one year.”

Speaking earlier, the minister of Aviation said workers have been moblised to the site if the new runway and within six months, the project will be completed.

Travel › Air Peace Breaks Record With High Load Factor On Inaugural Flight To China by PDPGuy(op): 1:03am On Nov 04, 2022
Air Peace yesterday recorded full load factor of 240 passengers on its inaugural flight from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos to Guangzhou, China.

This was also as the airline disclosed plans to code-share with Asian carriers to distribute passengers to other destinations outside Guangzhou, China. The airline operated the flight with one of its flagship aircract, Boeing B777 aircraft.

Speaking during the inaugural flight, Air Peace Chief Operating Officer, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Olajide said the airline added the China destination and Asia to its network of continents, with the commencement of initial one-weekly flight to Guangzhou-China. Olajide said the Chinese airspace is not new to the carrier, as it had successfully operated several evacuation/special flights to the country at different times in the past, especially in 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown.

“So, we’re going into China, not as newcomers, but as an airline that is technically and operationally acclimatised with the Chinese terrain. The flying public, especially those that fly the Guangzhou route, should expect best-in-class flight experience, which is characteristic of the Air Peace brand. We’re not stopping with Guangzhou- India is next and Israel is in the works,” she said.

According to her, also planned for subsequent launch are Malabo in Equatorial Guinea and Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, stressing that Air Peace would continue to grow its route network as well as modernise its fleet strategically.

She said the carrier would have an interline arrangement with Asian carriers to help Air Peace carry passengers from Guangzhou to Shanghai and Beijing.

She also hinted that the Consultant was open for more people to travel to China from Nigeria, following the lift on travel restrictions put by Chinese government before now.

Olajide hinted that when Air Peace set out for the trajectory in 2014, they envisaged an airline that would create massive employment for Nigerians and reduce the burden of air travel for Nigerians, and by extension, Africans, through the provision of affordable and peaceful connectivity across cities and continents.

Really felt they would have worked on some of the errors they made in the first game, they are sadly repeating the same.

They also need to stop this purposeless long balls. Move the ball on the ground.

If not for corporate greed, I don't know why the Nations League or international fixtures were played this summer after such a long season and then alternating btw league games champions league this season..
These players are humans and even though they're well paid, shey e reach make FIFA choke them ni..

They even have 2 weeks to prepare, even expect more injuries during the world Cup..
Less than 2 weeks if they play in the EPL, because the league only pauses for the WC after Nov 13

you want to Know why so many injuries of late? tight schedule! yet they want to create more competition like super league to satiate their greed, this will force teams to buy back up players for each of their players,hence creating second 11,hence huge wage bills
Plus the unnecessary postponement of several league games in honor of the Queen. As rich as these clubs are, couldn't they arrange private security for those games?

Inflation and crime are their major thing. I believe they are the top 2 concern in the country now. See how the Mayor of San Francisco was disgraced because of his non prosecution policy for theft

In Oregon for example the governor race got competitive because of the crime rate and homelessness
New Yorkers feel the crime wave and are trending towards Zeldin

Democrats are playing defence all over because their position on Crime and economy is weak

Having some Democrats saying they will rather pay $15 for Gas and double for grocery than lose Democracy/Abortion is not really a message many Americans stretched want to hear

Look at where Obama Biden Kamala are going to campaign in supposed safe Democratic space even Deep blue California. They are now spending money and TV ads to defend supposed safe areas and have abandoned places like North Carolina, Ms Beasly had to complain that the DNC abandoned her
Since I've been following US politics, I never heard of Democrats fretting about a statewide race in New York of all places; a state Biden easily carried by double digits!

The bolded is truly a tough sell to non-Democrats, or should I say non-liberal Democrats.

Republican will take control of Congress thats almost certain

Senate is still dicey

Walker vs Warnock, Fetterman vs Oz, are very close. Same with Nevada race

Senator Johnson is likely to win Mandela Barnes, While I think Mark Kelly might defeat Blake Masters. And Odea to lose Colorado

Rubio to wipe the floor with Demmings and Kemp to edge out Stacey Abrams

Even unlikely races like Bolduc is getting close to Maggie Hassan. Zeldin is running close in New York
For the bolded, we will most likely know the winner of the Walker v Warnock race December 6 - the runoff election day.
But if Walker distances himself from Trump, he may eek out a win. I believe the reason why Kemp is running away with victory in the gubernatorial race is because he has called the bluff of Trump, causing voters to see him as an independent man capable of independent thought; while Walker's full embrace of Trump is one factor likely making his a toss up.

That speech yesterday was pathetic, Its a new low. An election 6 days away and he had to do a primetime speech to warn the voters about the opponents, I saw it on CNN and was genuinely ashamed for Biden, By the time I tuned to Fox, they were actually having a ball just laughing at Biden

CNN just released a poll today that almost 60% of Americans major concern right now is the economy and inflation but Biden has nothing to say about those concerns except for Republicans, GOP. I really hope Biden runs in 2024
But most Republicans running in competitive races are mostly talking about crime rate. If I were in their shoes, I would continue hammering about inflation till election day.

My prediction for Tuesday is that Republicans will retake control of Congress, with 51 seats in the Senate and at least 224 in the House of Reps.

Some sites like RealClearPolitics are even projecting the Republicans to hold 54 Senate seats.

However, one way that Democrats could swing the election if they promise to decriminalize the cultivation and use of marijuana at the federal level..
