No, the problem with Pittsburgh is the topography. There are a lot of different ways to get to Beaver Stadium, there are very few to get to the point and less to get to the North Shore. Living in the South Hills, you either have to go through the mountain or around it and there are very few ways though it. Then add the rivers and limited bridges. I always tell people coming to Pittsburgh, if you can see where you need to go, you are screwed because you needed to get off three exits ago to get there! I remember when the NRA convention came to town, significantly less people and the town was in complete meltdown. It will be interesting to see how it plays out this weekend...

QUESTION OF THE DAY? If State College can have 100,000+ fans on a Saturday without any major problems, Pittsburgh for sure can host twice as many people on a given day correct?

@DannySpencerd24 @KDKARadio @CoreyOConnorPA @PghPolice @PghPublicSafety We as citizen are paying for this. Why does it take people coming from the outside in order for Government to do anything? This should be the norm, not the exception.

@MKShipton @KDKARadio @CoreyOConnorPA @PghPolice @PghPublicSafety Not surprised at all to see E Ohio St spotless this morning. My guess is by Friday May 1 it will be back to the old post apocalyptic self we’ve come to love and abhor.

Pittsburgh Police Chief Jason Lando says there will be a "zero tolerance" toward juvenile crime as the city prepares to host the NFL Draft.

@RepDeluzio so retirees should pay more in taxes? It should be a requirement for anyone in Congress to have a private sector job first. You clearly have no clue what you are talking about. Taxing wealth? Do you have any idea who pays most of the taxes in this country already???

If you've got three commas in your net worth, I know you can afford to pay more taxes. And in no sane world should people earning a paycheck face a higher tax rate than people living off investment returns.

@ChrisMuellerPGH I don't disagree, but didn't they go 20-8 in April a few years ago only to finish well below .500? While it does feel different, we have been burned too many times... Let's see where things are in July.

Psst, that’s another series win. Pretty good team.

@BobGreenburg They have always had a relationship, Coachman worked at both for a while. Probably the CT connection. Today it's about $$$. ESPN replaced NBC/Peacock as the home for WWE in the US. Content, PPV, etc. not sure if this covers legacy content.

Wait when did the legendary Sportcenter start covering WWE like it’s a real sport? What has happened to ESPN?

@BobGreenburg To add context. I couldn't get specific HS numbers, but k-12 enrollment is down 700K over that same period. 2.7M down to about 2M in the state.

STAT OF THE DAY: Pennsylvania High School Football Participation: 2024 ➡️554 teams-27,700 participants 1973➡️911 teams-72,880 participants

🚨 BILL MAHER JUST TORCHED THE LEFT "I love hypocritical America...see, liberals suddenly LOVE the Pope!" "Doesn’t believe in g*ay marriage, no women priests, but now since he’s feuding with Trump, MSNBC LOVES this guy!" 💯

@HICKS_M_ @RepDeluzio Yep, the UK. where they arrest people for voicing dissent. So much better... How about the immigrant rape culture they allowed to go unchecked? So much better than here... Perhaps you should leave. express.co.uk/news/uk/208355…

@MKShipton @RepDeluzio I asked my cousin in Scotland: "What do you guys think when you hear about a mass shooting in America?" "Oh, it's just the Yanks shooting each other up again."

I'm voting YES again on the War Powers resolution. Congress must do its job and stop this reckless, deadly, and expensive Iran War.

@HICKS_M_ @RepDeluzio You just said it SUCKS here, so we do so many people risk everything to come here?

@MKShipton @RepDeluzio What does 20 million people who migrate to the US because better countries, like Canada and the UK, are too far away, have to do with anything? You: "I like endless fucking war, but I don't want to pay for it."

@HICKS_M_ @RepDeluzio No point in further discussion as your TDS cannot deal in facts. Have a good day, I hope you get the help you need.

@MKShipton @RepDeluzio You need to look around you, skippy. The president of the United States is a pedophile. Trump, who sues anyone and everyone, has NEVER brought suit against anyone who accused him of fucking kids, because he'd have to prove them wrong.

@HICKS_M_ @RepDeluzio You didn't answer the question, them being from central south America has nothing to do with anything. Why are they all fighting to stay if it sucks so bad here? I pay more than my fair share in taxes, but thank you.

@MKShipton @RepDeluzio The people who are being deported are from Central and South America, not Iran. And if you strongly support America's endless fucking wars, your taxes need to QUADRUPLE to pay for them. Put your money where your mouth is.

@HICKS_M_ @RepDeluzio The facts say otherwise... thehill.com/policy/interna…

@MKShipton @RepDeluzio GTFOH. Iran posed no threat to us; Netanyahu just wanted ANOTHER war against Iran and Lebanon, paid by the American taxpayer. There's a reason we're getting a reputation as the world's bully, and why our allies refused to join THIS pointless war in the Middle East.

@HICKS_M_ @RepDeluzio If we suck so bad, why did nearly 20M risk everything to come here the last four years? Why does every member of the Squad that bashes this country refuse to leave? Why are so many fighting deportation if it sucks so bad here?

@MKShipton @RepDeluzio Everyone hates America because we SUCK. In 1953, the U.S. & U.K. overthrew Iran’s elected PM after he nationalizes oil, reinstalling the Shah. Decades of U.S.-backed authoritarian rule follow. In 1979, Iranians toppled the Shah, but they still hate us.

@HICKS_M_ @RepDeluzio Ukraine is not an ally. It's one of the most corrupt countries on the planet. Child trafficking, sex trafficking, etc.

@MKShipton @RepDeluzio So you're okay with our allies being attacked and invaded by Russia? The war against Iran is completely unnecessary, especially since we haven't paid off the LAST $8 TRILLION clusterfucks in Iraq & Afghanistan.

@HICKS_M_ @RepDeluzio How many Billions did we give to that little baby dictator in Ukraine? This funds could have paid for this 10x over.

@MKShipton @RepDeluzio Donald Trump got $100 million from the wealthiest Israeli to wage war for Israel; we U.S. taxpayers PAY for it. The Iran war has cost $25–35 billion so far, while our whopping $39 TRILLION debt climbs, and HEAVILY taxpayer-subsidized Medicare & Social Security face insolvency.

Iran hates America, they want to kill us and have been trying for 47 years. They war is not pointless. China buys nearly 90% of Iran's oil, that money is used to kill American's and jews through Iran's proxies in Lebanon. While I am not for the US fighting regime change wars, there is a much larger strategy at play. Also, we have now become a net exporter of Crude since the war broke out. That is huge. wionews.com/photos/-5-200-…

@MKShipton @RepDeluzio What does that have to do with Donald Trump's pointless war against Iran? WHY are we at war against Iran? Trump's all over the fucking map about the reason for this war, but it's because Miriam Adelson gave Trump $100 million to go to war for Israel.

@RepDeluzio Who passed the legislation that set the expiration Chris?

Republican politicians refused to extend Obamacare tax credits. So what happened? 130,000 Pennsylvanians had to drop their health care because it became too expensive.
