Oh I don’t know… how about the millions of illegal foreign nationals from all over the world who invaded our border over the past 4 years? Pretty sure a whole bunch of them aren’t Muslims. Those folks certainly aren’t assimilating. They’re here for all the free shit we hand out to them.

He is already started with his speech about actor's and insurance, but Rand Paul's annual end of the year list of the dumbest things our government spends money will soon be on the way. Good new is DOGE is on the way.
From the article:
The report will focus on hundreds of billions of dollars in federal waste, including electric vehicle charging stations and millions spent on magic, Paul previewed. One of the most eyebrow-raising expenditures Paul described is $1 million allocated to study the sexual effects of cocaine on Japanese quail.
“I can tell you the total will be in the hundreds of billions for the entire Festivus report,” he added. “I can tell you that there is also going to be some money for the southern border, but not the southern border of the United States, for the southern border of Paraguay.”
The report will also delve into the National Science Foundation (NSF), which saw its budget doubled to $8 billion last year. Paul pointed out that the NSF funds what he considers frivolous studies, such as one examining whether people are more or less likely to eat food after sneezing on it.
Senator Paul’s Festivus Report is known for its sharp critique of government spending. Last year’s 24-page report covered $900 billion of waste including an NIH grant to study Russian cats walking on a treadmill, Barbies used as proof of ID for receiving COVID Paycheck Protection Program funds, and $6 million to promote tourism in Egypt.

I think my vote gets counted which is why I vote. That is smart.
You think your vote doesn't count but you will vote anyway. That is stupid.

Her Death From 20 Stab Wounds Was Ruled a Suicide. Her Parents Never Bought It — and They've Won a Legal Victory
The Philadelphia Supreme Court has agreed to hear Ellen's parents argument over her manner of death ruling, Fox News and CBS News report.
Ellen Greenberg had more than 20 stab wounds to her chest, abdomen, head and back of her neck
Well you get to see next week how Notre Dame does against the SEC. But this isn’t an SEC invitational. All Bama had to do was not get blown out by Oklahoma and it’s a non issue. They did not deserve it. These teams losing today doesn’t change that.
Just saw a new Army recruiting commercial during the game. Not a single purple haired shemale in the whole thing, and they have returned to the be all you can be moniker. Good change.
Oklahoma could blow out IU.
Those teams (IU, SMU, etc) SUCK.
Let them bang week after week in the SEC... they're not .500 teams.
Damn. Auburn blew the doors off of Purdue. Not looking forward to that matchup.
Can you clarify on if you think they are lying? TIA. Stop beating around the bush.
Offense looks like they don't know what they are doing right now. A lot of dribbling and standing around.
That really was outstanding. The first accurate attempt at writing the history we’re living through.
The SEC gets more money and more promotion than anyone and then it’s just constant complaining about how hard it is because they can’t get every team into the playoff. This is the cost.
Never understood the cheering for conference stuff.
That doesn't change the fact that those teams suck.
Wow, they’re kicking our asses. Got em right where we want em.

I was against the playoff expansion. This playoff reminds me of the 1984 season when BYU was named NC. Played nobody but kept climbing in the polls till they were on top at the end. No consideration of the conference they were in and/or schedule. Pretty much the same in '90 when Ga Tech and Colorado split the NC. At least they played in somewhat respectable conferences.
Can't remember who but someone on TV said the committee did not hardly consider SOS. Unreal if true.
Fing terrrible officiating. Gotta fight through it. Never expect a favorable whistle. But this is crazy

They were very well prepared for our motion. Been disrupting us since the first half.
Here’s an excerpt from that article:
Everyone can agree that racism is bad, just like they can agree that poverty is bad, or disease is bad. The question is whether a given instance of racism or poverty or disease is so bad that, when it comes to eliminating or reducing their ill effects, all other human values, including the value of independent thought and feeling, should be trampled. If the answer is yes, you have placed your trust outside of the nexus of contingent human relationships into the hands of a larger, crushingly powerful machine that you believe might incarnate your idea of justice. That is totalitarianism, or as George Orwell put it in 1984, the image of “a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”

Man, thanks for this link. I’m halfway finished. Superb.
This is the other thing that warhawks in the Ukraine war thread aren't understanding.... We'd win a war with Russia but we'd lose tons of men and material just out of sheer incompetence. 12 years of dei hires and combating white nationalism instead of training has us at our lowest readiness level since before ww2. We don't want to go to war right now.
25% of our f35's can't fly. Many of our nuclear subs don't have enough crew members to actually leave on extended deployment. Navy ships are overworking many sailors due to manpower shortages. SF groups aren't getting near enough members. Only the Marine corp is still recruiting and training to 1990s levels.
He's not anti islam. He's using their code that allows muslims to lie to non muslims in order to promote islam. Dude has a history of violent jihadi shit.

Yea... Inflation is way over the 9% or so they say. It's closer to 16% by some people i've seen.TIAA/CREF predicted our current inflationary situation in 1996:
Let's ask Grok: adjusting for inflation, what would a burger and fries in 1996 cost in 2025.
7 web pages
Adjusting for inflation, a burger and fries that cost around $5 in 1996 would be approximately $10.67 in 2025, using an average annual inflation rate of about 2.4% from 1996 to 2023 (the last full year available for inflation data). However, recent trends indicate a higher-than-average inflation rate, particularly in food prices.
A viral advertisement from 1996 by TIAA-CREF humorously predicted that a burger and fries could cost $16 in 30 years, which would be in 2026. While this seems high compared to a straightforward inflation adjustment, recent reports highlight significant price increases in fast food, with some cities seeing burger and fries combos approaching or even exceeding $16 due to inflation and other economic factors. For instance, a Five Guys receipt showed a burger and fries costing $24 in some instances, reflecting the surge in food prices in certain areas.
Therefore, while a direct inflation adjustment suggests a cost of about $10.67, market trends and the cost of living in certain areas might push the price closer to or even higher than the $16 predicted in the 1996 ad by 2025.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED!
The price increases went up drastically over the covid pandemic. You did not see the average price increase slightly every year to what they are now.
These prices went up over 75-200% from 2019 to 2024
Notice how McDonald's in San Francisco has to gaslight you into believing that's a "Large Fries" even though it isn't:
Teams have film on physical play getting us out of our offense. We are going to have to learn to play through contact or else get refs to call games like nba. Hand checking and bodying out on the perimeter is what it is.
That's a bad loss. No other way to describe it. Good thing the team has a week to figure things out before SEC play. (Assuming we beat Brown by a lot obviously as we should)
This should be a huge wake up call to dems but people like Sammysdad and Dore will still act like pubs are extreme and dems are just good people who want to whats best for everyone. LOL.
And now this game is about to hit sucksville. What a shitty weekend for sports.
People don't assimilate in months, DA. Look at the mafia types. Irish gangs of a century ago. Germans who kept their own culture/language for decades.
