    Axios is not a leftist paper. It is considered moderate.
    Large vehicles are safer. For the people driving them. I am not sure why we are concerned about people who choose to drive small less safe cars. They ought to be extra careful when they drive, rather than wish or tell others to stop driving larger, safer vehicles.

    If I had a daughter when was turning 17 I certainly wouldn't give her a small death trap of a car.

    We are close to the time when all vehicles will have lidar and will avoid hitting anything on their own.

    One day this summer, I was driving my wife’s Mercedes convertible on a Sunday morning. I had gone out to get bagels and coffee for the both of us. As I was returning, a car coming at us, made a slight turn into our lane. It did not come into our lane. It just kind of made a movement into our lane. That car of hers locked it up. I had poured the coffee into one of those insulated cups. Otherwise I would’ve had a mess all over her car. It really shocked me as to how old strongly the car reacted. I have a Lexus, and a Toyota Tacoma that also have that feature, but they are not as sensitive, nor as strong as her Mercedes.

    What other reasonable response to rank hypocrisy and dishonesty is there? Is this your final answer? You sure you want to triple down on dishonesty? I suppose it would be too much to ask for an example, right? Because right after you mentioned Midcan't by name as one who gets picked on, he injected unnecessary politics into a nonpolitical thread about vitamin supplements, and you were nowhere to be found.

    Of course I'm just giving you a hard time, I know you only admonish your political adversaries, and your claim that you admonish libs is a complete fabrication.

    • A state panel voted to recommend Florida student athletes be required to turn in menstrual history to schools when they register to play for the year.
    • The FHSAA's director gave false information regarding the number of states that do the same.
    • He corrected the record and the committee voted to stick with requiring the forms go to schools.
    A panel of the Florida High School Athletics Association stood by its recommendation to require student athletes to turn in information about their menstrual periods to their schools when they register to play each year.
    The group also decided to stick with its recommendation to FHSAA's board of directors to force student athletes to answer questions about their menstrual history when they complete their annual athletics physical.
    The FHSAA's sports medicine advisory committee held a special meeting Tuesday night to clarify false information presented by the executive director at its previous meeting.

    Axios is not a leftist paper. It is considered moderate.
    Every time a liberal idea is criticized, liberals either deny the substance of the idea or say it came from a moderate point of view.


    Ford’s commitment to safety is irrelevant to the attempt by the left to force lifestyle or behavioral changes upon us.

    If you think the author’s point only was that pick up trucks are larger, heavier and present a greater hazard to smaller vehicles in a crash, you need to read it again.

    They are. The left is constantly trying to force their approved lifestyle choices upon us.
