Yeah, still a good team, but not the same caliber since the Lawrence kid got drafted. NIL isn't helping the 'Clemson Way' either... Sent from my SM-S918U using Baseops Network mobile app

Should have just said the last part "our society is unwell" Looks like the assassin had a male-to-female trans partner...you know, like all Christian dudes. https://nypost.com/2025/09/13/us-news/charlie-kirk-shooter-tyler-robinson-lived-with-transgender-partner/ Sent from my SM-S918U using Baseops Network mobile app

Yeah, you may be on to something there..."berate" is a bit hyperbolic, but it possibly shows a willingness to ignore the situation until it became national news.

Is it a provocative tweet...absolutely, and intentionally so. It forces the Democrats to continue defending the wrong side of an 80-20 issue to most people on the streets in big cities run by Democrats over the last century. It's curious how the last 2x times the Trump 2.0 sent in troops, in Los Angeles and D.C., Karen Bass and the LA City Council, Gavin Newsom and the CA Congress, and Muriel Bowser and the D.C. City Council, all remained in power and continue to this day in D.C. to exercise their rights and responsibilities as the duly and freely elected civilian government. I mean, if Trump wanted a takeover, he would physically remove the government and install a puppet local government, ala Iraq in 2004 under G. W. Bush in the immediate post-OIF op. I think Johnson and the fat billionaire Pritzker will be physically ok as their lie of "what else could we do?" is exposed against crime. Emotionally, they'll be slaughtered, but physically, they and their families will be fine. This experiment in freedom didn't turn to shit just because G. H. W. Bush, Lyndon Johnson, JFK, Eisenhower, Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland, Hayes, Grant, Lincoln, or Jackson sent in federal troops to local municipalities since 1807...lots of precedence in support of it. Until there's a direct and actual threat against elected governments, I'm less than concerned about troops moving in.

Trump DOJ is filing to unseal the records and Maxwell's grand jury testimony...seems like he's currently doing more than previous administrations (including his 1st) to expose the Epstein cover-up. https://www.npr.org/2025/07/19/nx-s1-5473430/trump-calls-release-jeffrey-epstein-grand-jury-testimony Of course, some if it is heavily redacted, and possibly unverified accusations from victims. Some of the accused may be guilty, some may be innocent...regardless the reputation of a lot of people on both sides of the political aisle are about to get crucified in the public sphere, I expect.

At least the Airmen and Soldiers at the Deid are in good spirits..."Fireball, BITCH!"

It's a done deal as far as DoD is concerned and in the hands of Congress. Good luck getting 218 goobers and 51 cats moving together in the right direction.

HELL YEAH, BROTHER!! Excuse the all CAPS...but I assume you're hard of hearing after being that close to nearly 36,000 lbs of awesomeness! When I was an EWO stud Lt at Randolph, I was lucky to be there when the 100th Century of Flight Tattoo was held. 2x jets set off all the car alarms in the parking lot...the BONE and the Phantom...and all my old-school G-model instructors were quick to point out the F-4 didn't need the afterburners to do it.

I'm not a financial expert...not that many of us are (paging @Finance_Guy)...but I've heard that the CBO uses fairly static analysis when scoring bills. So in this case, tax cuts are continued, but so are the spending levels...which leads to the that score. Just like the outyears in the FYDP, the numbers don't and likely won't reflect reality when it gets here. But it will be interesting to see if D's and R's are willing to actually cut discretionary, let alone entitlement spending. My guess is it'll always be the Party in the minority demanding cuts because they realize it'll never happen...and in four years magically the new minority party will wake up and realize they've always been fiscal hawks. Probably time to come up with a new club in on-line political arguments...

That's irrelevant to the fact that Hamas chose to attack civilians. Whether Israel provided support to Hamas or not, Hamas decided to act independently. It's not like Netanyahu had a secret plan to fund and allow Hamas to knowingly attack, rape, torture, kidnap, and kill Israeli citizens...which are both Jewing and Arabic. That's a 9/11-level "Bush knew / jet fuel can't melt steel" conspiracy.

...Which could have been avoided if Hamas hadn't decided to deliberately target civilians in Israel, and then hide behind their own civilian population. CIVCAS sucks, but if the Israelis wanted to kill Palestinan civilians, you'd think they'd be much better at it.

As a 2x time member of that club, it'll be interesting to watch and see what the study finds. But I won't be surprised if it ends up being a wash...too much politics in both directions.

I may disagree with the intensity of your statement, but not the overall point you're making. If the non-HAMAS Palestinians want to take a stand against that death-loving cult, then they need to do it...otherwise, they are unfortunately guilty by association.

I agree with almost everything stated here...the only thing is "Palestinians". If you said HAMAS instead, then yes absolutely, no white-space between our positions. But the non-HAMAS tolerant Palestinian civilians are an issue to figure out. I've seen some media reporting about some small-scale protests against HAMAS happening, but not enough yet. However, I'd like to give them the chance to throw off the shackles of HAMAS oppression and join the international community as Israeli citizens...who happens to grant full citizenship to "Palestinians" people who choose to live in peaceful coexistence under Israeli rule.

Violent agreement...I think it should be inside the borders of Israel. I just don't see the compelling need for US governmental involvement. Private US business concerns can invest if they want to, but I'm very hesitant on US government at any level.
