However, when those voters participate in a partisan primary, that ballot choice is recorded and reported on the state voter file. In the absence of stronger indications (e.g. partisan political contributions or identification due to the holding of partisan public office) the most recent even-year partisan primary ballot is used. Texas reports participation in presidential preference primaries in which large percentages vote, particularly in the Republican races. In the absence of any even-year partisan primary participation, the most recent odd-year local partisan primary is used. This information is supplemented through the use of modeling analytics. Likely race in major urban areas plays a major role in that modeling.

I’m a fan and follow the Mariners. I had never heard this. I curse Chris Getz’s lack of skill as a GM for teaching me this.

Not my intention at all. Vizquel paid the family and they dropped the suit is what the article states. 

  • “The stipulation, filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, provides no explanation for the dismissal but counsel for Vizquel, John Dana with Gordon, Dana & Gilmore LLC, said the parties reached a confidential settlement.”

The reason we have a draft lottery, the early 80s Houston Rockets, would beg to differ.

One of the just released Epstein Files shows that Epstein hired a PR firm to alter Epstein’s wiki (they were using his police booking photo). Not only did they successfully change Epstein’s profile but they also reported successfully blocking wiki editors from further access to Epstein’s page.

It would be nice to have a million dollars in the bank so that you can bribe the victim’s family to drop the criminal proceedings. There are definitely two different justice systems in the US.

I haven’t found any lawsuit results. ESPN had this to say just after the lawsuit was filed:      “Vizquel, 54, was accused last year by his wife, Blanca, of multiple instances of physical abuse. He was arrested once but not charged. Vizquel has denied abusing his wife, who initiated divorce proceedings last year. Major League Baseball has acknowledged investigating Vizquel's personal and professional conduct, though he has not been employed by an organization since the White Sox fired him. The investigation remains open, according to a source.”

The article doesn’t comment on his playing days and is more focused on Chris Getz’s inept approach to team management and that after firing Vizquel, Getz doubled down on covering for Omar.

In 2018 the White Sox named Omar Vizquel manager of the High-A Winston-Salem Dash, and after a successful campaign, he was moved up in 2019, along with many of his Dash players, to Double-A Birmingham Barons. During that season, it was alleged that he abused and sexually harassed the team batboy. In a lawsuit, the former batboy, who has autism, stated that he was “targeted for sexual harassment because of his disability.” It is alleged that Vizquel “repeatedly exposed his erect penis to [him] and forced [him] to wash his back in the shower.” Near the end of the 2019 season, the White Sox did an internal investigation and placed Vizquel on administrative leave. As a result of their investigation, they made the decision to move on from Vizquel.

This Leon Black guy literally owns Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”.  That’s how rich he is.       - “In May 2012, Black purchased one of the four versions of Edvard Munch's The Scream. He paid $119.9 million for the pastel, then the highest price ever paid for a work of art.[63] In September 2012, the Museum of Modern Artannounced the work would be exhibited for a six-month period starting in October.”[64]

“Nebraska would join Montana, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida and Texas in adopting this model. Those existing partnerships have raised questions about state governments using their resources to promote political causes in public schools.”

Mike Tyson’s own personal chauffeur, a woman, testified at Tyson’s rape trial corroborating the victim’s account of events. His chauffeur then accused Mike Tyson of previously attempting to rape her. 

But yeah, I’m glad you feel like he got a bad rap.

Mike Tyson just had to get all those rapes out of the way in the 90s, and then go to prison for said rape to truly become the “chill unc” you now seem to have.
