Case in point: UK cut it to 5 and the bullshit foul was called on the 3 point attempt. UK never recovered after that.
50mph wind gust are making this horrible. They can't keep up with the spread.
Global warming will be blamed for the fires.
Why? Because I don’t believe in being Israel’s bitch?
James Woods seems like a really good guy, many of us have posted some of his posts for years. Hoping his home isn't destroyed.

It's gonna most likely be another attack on Israel. They made similar comments before they struck Israel the last time
Most economists agree that when the national debt is double the Gross Domestic Product, that the point of no return will have been reached. At that point; no amount of growth, spending cuts, tax increases will be able to alleviate it, and that the US will have to start defaulting on some of it's debt.
What that actually MEANS is unclear. The collapse of the American economy would doom the rest of the world for a LONG time, so it's doubtful that they'll strong arm the US. Probably a mixture of renegotiated terms and debt forgiveness would happen.
The US is unique, in that it is probably the only country that could declare bankruptcy and still recover within a generation. We're impervious to a military takeover, and we've got enough domestic resources to go all in on isolationism.
It's not just about what they're gonna do, though....
Cue the press and the left politicizing natural disasters..when in reality it's probably govt mismanagement. What's know to be possible is preventable..guarantee they misallocated money to clear brush and put it towards "green initiatives"

Still waiting for the video.
Cops beating is bad.
I actually went in there a couple of years ago when I was in Vegas for work. It’s a lot smaller place than you’d think. It’s a functioning pawn shop, but more of a tourist attraction anymore these days. Pretty rare you’d see any of them actually in the store.Bucket list item...
I want to go to Gold and Silver Pawn, and have Rick Harrison laugh at my offer. (No joke)
Way too calm, any word if they survived?
God is pissed at the liberals in Hollywood.
I remember a few years back an economist (can't remember his name) predicted we would continue to grow the debt to the point of not being able to pay it off and then default on the debt because no one could make us pay it back. It is quite possible that most of our politicians see it this way and or just don't care. If our economy falls and the dollar collapses, I don't think the rich or our politicians will suffer because they have a backup plan for themselves.
Cubans i met are very similar. They love America more than most Americans. I was at a facility with one guy and he saw some paper on the ground. He picked it up to carry it until he saw a trash can. He said he can't leave litter on the ground in the greatest country in the world.
That goes back to the broader point of legal immigration. The vast majority of legal immigrants are wonderful additions to this country. Hard working, assimilate, and literally willing to fight for the country if they can. Theyre literally some of the best people i ever met.
We need a system that prevents people from skipping line and coming here without these qualities. Otherwise all their hard work and willingness to assimilate and produce gets diluted and they get thrown in with the whole lot.
Trump had to deal w/ Obama's mess, George Floyd and covid in his first term, and now he has to fix Biden's mess, Ukraine, and forthcoming billions of dollars of assistance to Cali.
One thing is clear about the Facebook firing of their "fact checkers" is the danger is still there. I know for s fact the operation is just getting reorganized and these people are going to spam the community notes in an attempt to bias the process. One person i know well is already bragging how theyre getting paid to do just that.
So unless Facebook takes notes from X on how to keep it neutral, it will be more of the same.
As an aside, its shocking how many paid trolls there are. This person is paid to not just "correct misinformation" on social media, but also in the comments section of news stories, etc etc. There are literally armies of these people and no interaction is too small. Thats why you can bank at least one or two posters in here are getting paid for interactions.

I hope it's not the dumb ones.
Still waiting on the J6 cop beating videos, Sammy.
I knew quite a few who came here and joined the army to get their citizenship and almost all I knew loved this country. Only one I had work for me was more for himself and his attitude reflected it. He was from Barbados and did not want to go fight in Iraq when Kuwait was invaded. He joined the army to get money (enlistment bonus) for college and did not feel it was his duty to fight for the US. He had just joined the unit about a month before I got there and was given to me because, every section in our unit (8 howitzer artillery unit and there were only 7 filled at the time) was told to give me one man so we could start building the 8th 10-man section.
When I got there, I was given a derelict howitzer that had been cannibalized to bring the others up to 10-20 standards so, I had a lot of work to do. What made it harder was that every chief of section gave me their worst soldiers (can't blame them) so I had some hard cases to work with. Three of the soldiers professed to be of the Islamic faith and could not fight against their Muslim brothers. Not a good start so, I made it clear to them and the guy from Barbados to either get in line or, I would do whatever was necessary to see that they would go to jail as they had sworn an oath to support and defend the constitution of the United States and would be in breach of contract. Needless to say, they went, but under protest.
We all fall into that trap from time to time. Welcome home...
I visited the pawn shop in 2019 when Gassy got married. Sorta unimpressed.
Facebook "influencing" makes me chuckle, because it is essentially "aiming backwards"
IOW - Facebook is made up of old people, and influencing old people is a pointless exercise. Madison Avenue has known that for a century or more...

Let me explain to you. The reporter set up the totally broad strawman, not 47. The reporter asked a dishonest question and 47 or any other POTUS would answer by never taking options off tje table.
My strawman.....if China who is paying them 12% of their GDP BTW, establishes a port or a base would you take military option off the table? Why do something so stupid.
1/3 of Greenland's budget comes from Denmark. In spite of that, they are moving to declare themselves a sovereign nation/independent from Denmark.
Sounds like they've got a hankering for some Red White and Blue dick.
rivals and 247 are already reporting that Greenland is expected to make an official visit to the US in the coming months.

To them, not for them.
The Democrats have become Judy Garland, the latter years.
Drinking too much, self-deluded, constantly telling the same old stories, getting mean and sloppy after their third martini, and calling up old friends/lovers once they're good and bombed...
Judy also perfectly captured the DNC's disingenuous and insulting minority pandering on the campaign trail

We will switch monetary standards just like the last two times we faced a debt crisis. All evidence points to the digital dollar. I'm just interested in how they divvy things up. What will one DD be worth? 10 cents on the dollar? Less? Will people accept that?
The problem with isolationism is that we are not one people anymore. We might have no fear of a foreign military, but I am afraid we would kill each other off if left to our own devices. Balkanization is the most likely scenario if things go tits up.
Lost in 2024 because people realized how much they had taken from them....
The myth of the legislature is that they always need to be passing new laws. Legislating is like driving. Sometimes you just need to quietly keep up with the flow of traffic as it already exists, rather than trying to pass everything in front of you.
Maybe I've been a fan of an official abused, SEC basketball team for far too long, but I'd settle at this point for a 5 phantom foul advantage overall for our opponents. THAT I think we can manage to overcome.
THE GAME LAST NIGHT was called more like a football game in favor of Georgia, while we were made to play Simon Says. It's not a real battle, but to compare it to war would be to give a green light to a Georgia blitzkrieg while telling our troops they weren't allowed to fight back and were only allowed to shoot from 20ft.
It was no surprise it was a loss.
What was surprising was that it wasn't a massacre.
Take that Mister.
