"Non-Governmental Organization" is an oxymoron.
In March of that year, Avila-Jara was arrested by immigration authorities at the Los Angeles International Airport and, within weeks, was ordered deported to Ecuador by a U.S. Department of Justice Immigration Judge. Avila-Jara was removed from the United States in July of 1996 but re-entered the United States at an unknown time and place sometime afterward.
The Lawrence District Court in Massachusetts arraigned Avila-Jara on Dec. 18, 2020, charging him with more than 20 criminal offenses, including indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, rape of a child with force, and aggravated statutory rape of a child. Later that day, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents lodged an immigration detainer against Avila-Jara with the Lawrence Police Department, requesting notification before his release.
According to ICE, the Lawrence District Court judge refused to honor the detainer despite filing a detainer requesting Avila-Jara be held and turned over to ICE in the event of his release. Avila-Jara was released on bail in March 2021 and was free to roam the streets.
On April 22, 2021, the Essex County Superior Court arraigned Avila-Jara for six counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, eight counts of rape of a child with force, and eight counts of aggravated statutory rape of a child.
But @Joerules19 says democrats are for deporting criminal aliens. So why do we have so many here that democrats won't turn over to ICE?
That guy said Uranus is in Indiana. It's in Missouri. Along with another shithole, St. Louis.
the NHL playoffs constitute the best post-season in all of professional sports, and it isn't even CLOSE.
I completely understand. I always found that fishing provided the same solace. But, these days you can't find any water worth fishing. Every body of water is now a high-pressure fishery, especially here in WKY where water is already in short order. And I'm not trailering a boat for 2 hours to Ky Lake for 3 dinks and a striper.
In the late 90s, I was in 3 tournament clubs at the same time down in Bham. Took about 5 years before I became completely disgusted with the whole thing. Stashing fish, weighting fish, insider cheating for higher stage position draws, guys intentionally blocking other guys' trailers in, running into a creek mouth at full throttle to make a wake to knock a dude off his deck, seeing fights break out between tourney clubs and locals just wanting to fish their home lake on a Saturday morning... The growing sentiment against tourney fishing is amazing to me and also quite welcomed.
I read last year somewhere that there is a team of lawyers who have assembled with the express intent of figuring out how to nullify all HOAs. Haven't heard a thing about it since I read it.
My best friend loves to fish, and he always used to bother me constantly, to go with him.
Finally I relented, and went.
He never asked again. I broke one of his rods on the first cast, and then got bored after about 10 minutes, and basically complained about how boring it was for the rest of the morning.
He said it was like taking a 3 year old fishing.

Yeah, man. This is NOT the way for collegiate sports. Horrible idea.

It's obvious. They vote in nonsense government and when it goes to hell they move to a more conservative area and then set about changing it to what they just left because leftist are ignorant.
One of you guys explain this to Sam.
I feel like Caitlin Collins parents have to look at her no different than an OnlyFans model. Just pay her money and she will pretend to make your fantasies come true... LoL. I wonder if she realizes how people think of her? Does she actually think she's landing any punches on stuff like this?
False; last week, I wrote that I personally am all for that. Unlike you, I try to avoid generalizations when it comes to political beliefs and parties. Sorry I don't have control over the Lawrence District Court judge. There are numerous issues where I don't necessarily agree with the "official" Democratic party on.
Carney proving why Trump treated Trudeau like a wimp. Now that the southern border is fixed Canada is allowing 1000's of people to cross because they don't care. Gonna have to ramp up penalties on Canada. If they want to be middle man for cartel and China then just crush their throat so they aren't even a destination for illegals.
Yea. I remember you coming on here all the time when Joe was screwing everything up telling us how you didn't agree with stuff. Now that Trump is in you are glad to nit pick every single decision.... and you'll vote for Kamala if she's the nominee and we will go right back to getting millions of illegals again and you'll disappear from the thread. Wash, rinse, repeat. We know how people like you operate.
I have lived in my current neighborhood with HOA for 38 years. Never an issue and have seen the HOA correct issues that needed attention.
Rand's Libertarian routine, especially on trade, is as tiring as a leftist's Communism routine. It sounds feasible in theory, but is impossible to put in place. For example, if the Ford plant in Louisville closed down and moved to Mexico and Rand said "welp, free trade. We're all better now" they'd string his ass up.
Yea. free trade has to be fair trade too. You can't put restrictions on US businesses that Mexico doesn't have and then say "welp, they just beat you in the market".... That isn't true. They didn't get beat in the market. The government skewed the market wildly to favor Mexico.
"we can't win" "We can't retake lost territory" "we refuse to recognize lost territory as Russian"..... "we must negotiate a peace".... Dude is so dumb. He argues from 2 different sides of a problem. He is going to have to recognize the lost area as Russian or the last part won't happen.. part 1 and 2 will keep getting worse and worse.

Haha Trump talking about Biden and Obama:
IDGAF if China, Mexico, Haiti or whoever cheats OR beats us on the up and up. I'm going to support policies that maximize the lives of American workers.
At the end of the day, 1990's China being added to the WTO basically added like 800M smart, low-wage workers to the global labor pool. They were hardly consumers, they were just workers. Exposing our labor to that was soooo evident. Only a fool could think that it was going to help blue collar Americans.
Brother my life is great. I’m in an industry tariffs won’t impact, my wife and I both make plenty of money, I live on a golf course I can play everyday.
I’ve worked my ass off to get where I am, but I also started off with a big advantage because my parents had money to send me to college debt free.
The people that will be hurt aren’t people like me. They’re the people that are working their ass off for less money than I am or who are out there job searching amid this uncertainty.
I’ll be glad when Republicans become capitalists again. The funniest damn thing to me is the support of RFK Jr. this guy is a big government chronie if there ever was one. He’s putting into place a school lunch program remarkably similar to the exact same thing Michelle Obama was lambasted by conservatives for in the mid 2010’s. Now all of the sudden it’s great.
Politics have become faith IMO way too many people think their side is 100% right and the other 100% wrong. At that point it’s a religion and not a political party. You can call me whatever you want, but I’ll never worship a politician.
You may want to step away from the computer a bit and take a deep breathe. Already 14 posts today and 28 yesterday. Lol at nit pick every decision... I just gave you an example of an issue where I agree with Trump. I know you find this impossible believe, but there really are people out there who don't fall 100% in line with what "their party" believes. I'll give you two more examples; don't think trans folks should be able to participate in sports (according to the gender they identify with) and I am not completely against his efforts to get rid of government waste. But go on saying you know how people like me operate. You are obviously the smartest guy in the room.
I never/rarely talk politics with family or friends
That is a good way to preserve friendships. My sister-in-law told me she hates Trump...out of the blue.
She is a good woman, solid...and that is what makes her political views so troubling, she is a white, rich liberal...I have known her my whole life, and yet they conditioned this decent woman to vote for the destruction of her own country. That is what we are up against.
She isn't a bad person, she is a great mother to my nieces, but her politics will ruin the country.

I find it funny that the MSN fly-out on any Windows machine I'm on... if stocks are down, that's the only notifications I get besides weather... but when stocks are up, it shifts the SM feed to the bottom of the list, lmao.
You guys remember back in the 90s when Sonny Smith and Wimp Sanderson had a morning sports show on WJOX?
I listened religiously. One of Sonny's catch phrases was...
"I don't believe I'd have told that..." 😂
All true except it started before Biden. We know through the jfk files the cia had front companies way back then including the company that became haliburton. They also had film companies that acted as fronts to create propaganda and fake videos for blackmail.
Has Trump destroyed the economy today? I noticed my Egg McMuffin was $.25 more this morning so just wondering if Booker and Pocohontas had any warnings out. I lose track these days.
I'd be shocked if Shapiro isn't the Democrat nominee in 2028.Mug shot of Balmer in PA......
Now...I know some dudes like this type of beard. But it's obviously very prevalent in the Muslim community.
Have read where his attack on the Gov mansion was pre-planned. Supposedly over losing property.
But since Shapiro is Jewish......has anybody seen anything about this guy maybe being Muslim?
I'm 67 and have only been to the driving range once. Spent about 30 minutes there trying to hit the ball and hooked and sliced the whole way through. Maybe got one good stroke. Decided I did not care for the game. Not patient enough for the sport plus, the cost is too much for equipment and the courses. I have retired friends who have tried to get me to go, and I did once but only drove a cart with the cooler of beer on it. I told them I still play softball and was not ready for an old man's game.
When softball is over, it's bowling and increased fishing. More beer to be had with both of those.
Puts on deep Appalachian documentary expecting to see nothing but wall to wall uneducated, impoverished, check reliant pill heads.
INSTEAD sees beautiful, welcoming, nonjudgmental people, that can expound on US history, global energy markets, geology, and the long term impact of corporate land ownership in the Eastern United States. Many of whom have managed to take an economically dead area (decline of coal) and repurpose it into a tourism economy. 🤣 🤣 🤣
Absolutely fantastic. LOL

I play golf with a retired marine who is over 60 years old. Crushes the ball and hits it straight. It’s a challenge to keep up with him.

I'll never understand a sport that is disguised as a nice walk through a green fairway--only to aid in the "nautical language" by the player
You can only take a clown fishing at local carnivals where they have those kiddie swimming pools, fake fish, and small polls with strings and plastic hooks.
