Should have dropped out

Biles said she had a case of the "twisties," which happens to gymnasts when they lose track of where they are in the air. The twisties could lead to serious injuries.

She's the only one who knows if she is in the headspace to compete. This is a woman who blew the whistle on abuse, has lead us to multiple championships, and most of the people criticizing her can't even reach the floor to pick up the cheeto they just dropped walking back from the kitchen.

All of her responsibilities as a representative of the United States, and her responsibilities to BLM, just overwhelmed her.

Candice Kundert

Because she said she could not trust her mind and body. This is a very dangerous sport and if you are not feeling it, it is definitely best to drop out. I believe it very important to know yourself and care for your safety and make good self care decisions. I fully support her.

Max

Yes, she should go home and never return.

Carolyn McCartney

It's No ones business except hers.

Weakness it the American way. We expect nothing more than weakness. Just like in our schools, government, and our Democratic Party. WEAKNESS FTW!

Some have criticized Biles as a quitter who gave up when the going got tough.

She messed up her routine and all of a sudden had a " mental" problem? Really? More like ego. No gold no play is more like it, or so it looks like. By getting the Twisties all of a sudden the focus was again all about her and not on the one who actually won the gold. Now here she is, back

Real Champions don't have these issues.

All they have to do is start the first 30 to 40 minutes of the movie in the full classic costume with mask on. After that no one will care who is under the mask.

I suck at fan casting but a rebooted franchise calls for a new Wolverine, and it's an opportunity to bring in someone smaller and scrappier.

It simply just CANT be done

They're going to need to do a very different take on the character if they don't use Hugh Jackman if they want it to work.

We need to stay informed about the local news that impacts our lives inBend and CO. Need to stay up to date on sheriff and police issues, parking, housing and what the city councils and county commissions are doing

Oakley Taylor

We need all the help to fight fires in our precious state since the feds have cut our funding. This is not a “liberal” or “conservative “ issue. It’s a quality of life issue and the preservation of our communities and the forest that we treasure.

David Komar

but it doesn't need to be a print version. online is just as good.

Latterdaysaint

Yes we need to stay informed but not by a liberal newspaper

Douglas Kaufman

I imagine your idea of a “great” newspaper, would be Pravda or some MAGA run rag, right? (All the Conservative obfuscation, all of the time!) Why you think the Bulletin is a “Liberal” publication, I just don’t get. Now, “The Source”, THAT’S definitely a Liberal rag. (And they’re very good at it!)

Oakley Taylor

Please don’t make this a political division. Let’s be civil and acknowledge all that we have in common; the quality of life in our community.

I have always loved JUST getting the Sunday paper with the Parade magazine and the extras; however, I cancelled my subscription a couple of years ago. I have NEVER had a need or a desire for a DAILY paper.

At the cost to whom?
