If those numbers are even close to accurate, it would appear that residents in those states are concerned about their safety. Seems like a law and order platform might be well received in those battleground states.

Nice. Obviously not blind to the extent that you respect the ones that beat their wives or the gang members that enter just for weapons training......but to the average Joe/Jill that signs up and gives it their best when there were easier options out there ....yes they deserve respect. True there aren't alot of rich kids that sign up, but there is a larger portion of middle class people that sign up than you might want to believe.

Those that serve in the military deserve the utmost respect for the time they put in. It is possible to question their current motivations without discrediting their past accomplishments. I've yet to run into a high ranking officer that retired from the military and then just threw his/her hands up and said, "well, that's it" time to sit on the porch and drink lemonade until I die. Typically they have high paying lobbying/advising/civilian govt/contractor jobs lined up to start the Monday after the Friday that they retire. I would like to see a description of what those retired high ranking officers are currently doing and where their paycheck is coming from. Undoubtedly some on the list truly do think Trump is bad and their intentions are good. But don't fall into the trap of thinking that just because they served in the military that they aren't capable of having ulterior motives in their post military careers.

You'd have to actually leave your house to bring one of them to Oxbow, so I think you are safe there.

Watch out everyone......Redneck is gonna cry about everyone needing to stay at home and wear a mask because he is too afraid to venture out......

Old fella back reporting live from the card club at Parkwood Place.

I think you win the message board for today lol.

You only have your own idea and expect everyone else to accommodate you. Internet tough guy? You mean like making anonymous cracks about the professional aptitude of a doctor on this board because he doesn't happen to have the same beliefs as you?

Once again, throw all this ridiculousness aside......one of us would still be too scared to go out sitting in their corner curled up in the fetal position sucking their thumb.....and it wouldn't be me.

You are the one crying.....with your false safety blanket mask demands. No crying here.....buffets....bars.....kids in school full time face to face.......living as much as possible in whatever areas you and your crybaby friends haven't tried to impact.

Pfffft........keep being scared of the big bad world. Oxbow has boots on the ground which is better intel on the situation than the King Walz's of the world.

I'm just hoping that it's a cloudy day where you are at so aren't scared by your own shadow if you actually venture outside.

If "they" were truly trying to find a happy medium hardly anyone would be arguing but that's not what is going on. A happy medium is allowing school sports but with a limited number of fans (not sh*t-canning entire seasons). A happy medium is giving the option of in person or online schooling (not being forced to go strictly online). A happy medium would be businesses being allowed to offer mask only hours (instead of being pressured for complete mask mandates). In my opinion the lack of willingness to promote a happy medium has been the main problem.

Only a problem for the sky is falling crowd like yourself.

Ditto to Oxbow's response. You are asking for an absolute solution that doesn't exist. It's the nature of life, some people will always get sick and unfortunately die. On many issues but especially with Covid it has been eye opening and scary how laser focused in people get and they are unwilling (and in some cases unable) to look at the big picture. You are totally discounting the human experience being taken away from 99% of the population in an effort to literally squeeze an extra year out of someone that is living in a LTC facility.....that if they are like my grandpa was ...and many old people in that situation are.......may not even want that extra year of limping by.

Masks for everyone and no youth activities including in person classes until old people in LTC facilities stop dying......... The pandemic of old people going into nursing homes and then dying must be stopped!

In Grand Forks one K class got knocked online for 2 weeks right out of the gate. Other than that things are operating smoothly. Contrary to what the sky is falling crowd would like to believe, kids aren't dropping like flies.

Are they all still just conspiracies when the official narrative keeps being changed.....and certain key facts continually receive less coverage because they don't support the official narrative? Believing that you and Haydouche purposely planted Covid because you guys get off on wearing masks is a conspiracy theory. Believing that there may be an ulterior motive as to why this virus has been treated so differently from those in years past (coincidentally during an election year when the economy had been humming along) isn't a conspiracy theory. Instead of shelter the small vulnerable population and let the majority healthy population go out and about somehow the logic now is to shelter the healthy majority so the small vulnerable population doesn't miss out on anything.

There he is again making an appearance live from Columbia Road traveling 20 mph with his left blinker on for the last 5 blocks.....Old Fella! Boy you really came up with a good one today....and it only took you a week to come up with it. Are you sure you don't have a professional writer feeding you these thoughtful one liners?

It is sad. Strange he would do that with only "peaceful" protestors from a "peaceful" organization not liking him. A result of letting the media instead of courts decide who is guilty and who isn't.

Instead of the silly color schemed rating system for Covid I think it would be better used to rank what level of breakdown you are at.

Haydouche thinking he would get to see a far left judge replace RBG.......she should have pulled the plug when Obama was in office if she wanted a guarantee a liberal would fill her spot. There's a lesson for you to learn here. When you repeatedly act like a jerk to a person.....over and over....for the better part of 4 years....when the person that you were being a jerk to has a chance to return the "favor"....they more often than not will. Trump isn't gonna give Dems any break after what they have put him through.

"Before" the election being the key term...........gonna get to have their cake by being re-elected AND then get to vote in a new SCOTUS.........rotflmaolmaorotflololololrotflmao

How's the meltdown going? Lolololololorotflmaorotlfmao. The way I see it one more Trump nominee should put the brakes on the far left b.s. in this country for at least another 10 years.

Pathetic. The more accurate comparison would be that "because it is possible for a small fraction of people to die in a car accident.....nobody can drive". Ridiculous logic but expected from you.
