Mini thread on @deshaunwatson & #Texans
Because I’m reading far too much BS from national mouthpieces who want to protect the Texans and the #NFL

This idea that Watson is going about everything wrong & disrespectfully is straight BS. Let’s use common sense here /1

Many national pundits claim Watson is handling things wrong because he’s shut off communication with the Texans & allowed “his team” to leak out various items about his being disgruntled.
These same ppl say Watson should not use media but go to team & talk behind closed doors /2
That’s a very team and league serving position for these national mouths to have. Always about protecting their access to the teams and the league.
Here’s the reality. Why would you continue to have talks with someone who clearly doesn’t give a damn what you have to say? /3
Watson was nominated by his team to bring issues to ownership. One of the biggest issues was the divisiveness & mistrust created & caused by Jack Easterby. The team’s lack of direction & lack of strong leadership. Deshaun brought these issues & more to Cal McNair during season /4
Cal McNair even spoke publicly that Jack Easterby wasn’t a “football ops” guy. Understood his role was more administrative & that he wouldn’t be involved in the GM or coaching search. He told Watson that the QB would be involved in those searched. /5
Despite those public proclamations from the owner & the promises to his star QB, McNair lied on all counts. Despite having several conversations w/ Watson, he ignored anything the QB had to say. (Also ignored his now Fmr team prez Jamey Rootes) & let Jack call the shots /6
McNair has lied to his star, to his team, to his other top ranking execs, and to his fan base. He’s proven that disregarding the conversations he has had with Watson is a trend, not an isolated occurrence
If you know your words are faking on deaf ears, why continue talking? /7
To see national talking heads saying Watson should be talking w/ #Texans behind closed doors - well he was. Several times. It’s gotten him nowhere. Why keep taking if owner isn’t listening. Clearly being the star QB wasn’t enough to get Cal’s ear. So now Watson is not talking /8
Conversations were fruitless. Maybe shutting down will get action, maybe it won’t. But clearly he needed a different tactic bc talking was a waste of time.
Those calling for him to talk w/ ownership are ignoring the facts already in evidence to protect their own relationships /9
I hope #Texans fans keep all of this in mind when they see National bigmouths bashing Deshaun’s tactics. If you aren’t successful w/ one tactic you need to try another. This is Cal’s doing. He’s placed all faith in Jack & dismissed everyone’s eles’s concerns. /10
The org is removing all employees not loyal to Jack Easterby. Rootes was Bob McNair’s right hand for 20+ years & he’s out. There’s nothing Watson can say to o get through to Cal. This is why he’s saying nothing to the team. It’s basic common sense. /end

The Nashville Operation - A Battle in the War

A thread exploring the Nashville bombing in the context of the 2020 Digital War (via SolarWinds) against the United States perpetrated by our enemies, likely China, Iran and/or Russia.


SolarWinds Hack

A digital "Pearl Harbor" moment for the United States, whoever was responsible had access to the keys to the kingdom for months during 2020, including sensitive military infrastructure. This is war!

SunGard + SolarWinds

SolarWinds software company is owned by same company that owns SunGard, which essentially provides data center services. A secure place to host internet servers with redundant power and "big pipe" data connections.

SunGard Data Center

In Nashville, around the corner from their "big pipe" connection, AT&T. Like any data center, highly secure. Only authorized personnel can enter, and even fewer can access the actual server rooms. Backup generators are available in case of power failure.


If the SunGard hardware was being used to "host" critical command and control software related to SolarWinds, the US powers would be very interested in gaining special access keys that are stored on the hard-drives of specific servers.
We finally have the U.S. Citizenship Act Bill Text! I'm going to go through some portions of the bill right now and highlight some of the major changes and improvements that it would make to our immigration system.

Thread:


First the Bill makes a series of promises changes to the way we talk about immigrants and immigration law.

Gone would be the term "alien" and in its place is "noncitizen."

Also gone would be the term "alienage," replaced with "noncitizenship."


Now we get to the "earned path to citizenship" for all undocumented immigrants present in the United States on January 1, 2021.

Under this bill, anyone who satisfies the eligibility criteria for a new "lawful prospective immigrant status" can come out of the shadows.


So, what are the eligibility criteria for becoming a "lawful prospective immigrant status"? Those are in a new INA 245G and include:

- Payment of the appropriate fees
- Continuous presence after January 1, 2021
- Not having certain criminal record (but there's a waiver)


After a person has been in "lawful prospective immigrant status" for at least 5 years, they can apply for a green card, so long as they still pass background checks and have paid back any taxes they are required to do so by law.

However! Some groups don't have to wait 5 years.
