East Baton Rouge Parish voted for Biden (55.52% vs. Trump's 42.47%, a 13 point difference). Just about every city in every state votes blue, regardless of what the overall voting record is for the state. It's rather disingenuous to say "red state" when it's more of "rural vs. urban," and, in this case, it's a blue district that had the crime problem.

They're Russian. Romney tried warning everyone and he was laughed at. Plenty of people before him brought up just how bad Russia was, but everyone continued to say, "blame the government, not the people," as if the people were perfect and moral.

For those not putting two and two together like I wasn't: Shannon is a guy, oddly enough. This article partially obfuscates things by only mentioning "he" twice in the entire article, but no other defining words, so if you scanned instead of reading intently, you could easily miss the fact that Shannon isn't a woman.

To be very clear: it's not about moving water, it's about pressure. Copper pipes can take a massive amount of pressure, but ice is beyond massive, it's an insane amount of pressure. By opening your faucets, you are allowing that pressure to relieve itself in both directions: pushing back against flow from the city pipes, and into the house. If water were to freeze in your walls, it could trap unfrozen water between the faucet and the ice, meaning pressure can build up FAST and STRONG. Opening your faucets prevents that buildup of pressure, and thus prevents your pipes from bursting.

We don't, but it makes headlines, so it gets done. More kids die each year in boating accidents, but you don't hear about those on the news because politicians don't profit from those headlines.
