Sites/forums like this used to provide scoops and info that other main stream sites didn’t provide. That’s what attracted people. Now all this site does is trash talk, argue with fans and brag about trolling IU.

Take a look at the off topic forum. You say things there that would get you banned everywhere else.

Brian once banned me on old gold iron whatever because I was critical about Zhazell and his loser recruits. I was never banned for my interactions with other posters. He released the ban when he and everyone one else realized how bad Hazell and his recruits were. I wasn’t being mean about Hazell or his recruits, I was being factual. I’ve also never been banned on any other Internet forum.

And for those of you wondering what started this, a poster mentioned my name and didn’t use my entire name and spoke ill of me. I believe I mentioned this before. If you make fun of my name or speak ill of me. I will respond, and your threads will take an ugly turn! If this board was actually moderated like other sites are, I would not feel compelled to reply to your continual harassing posts!

What if a MAGA judge appointed by trump says he is guilty?

Doesn't matter. Abide by the ruling. The attacks by trump.......on any judge that rules against him......or by the dems against the Supreme Court, only serves to diminish the public trust in the courts. Watch how fast your democracy crashes when the judicial branch is ignored.

GBI used to let all manner of crazy racist bs be said on their website. Much like the current administration.
Mostly from Neanderthals' still here...........
Won't miss any of the sexist, racist, hilljack bs that passes for discourse here.
But will miss the Purdue info, the only reason I came back.

You have to have bought in to the Trump-America is a dystopian hellscape to buy in to that.

America was most certainly not a dystopian hellscape the four years pre-Trump.

I mostly agree with you lately, on this I get your point, however, Purdue wasn’t good last year, let’s see how others can do without saying they’re going to be bad, my guess is they’ll win more than 13 regular season games, maybe 15?

So, US economy is humming along, record low unemployment, and this is the time to "radically change the world situation ... ?" That makes no sense whatsoever. That would be like Painter cutting Smith to give younger players more playing time.

Of course, but the point was that China, for the first time I know, came right out and said it is at war with us - as if to say, what are you going to do about it?

I don't agree with you that the global economy is being destroyed. If we get new trade agreements with our major allies, it may radically change the world situation in a good way for the US by boxing out China. Remember how dependent we were on China during covid. That is a dangerous situation to be in with a country that has admitted it is at war with us. Don't you agree?

It is not just tariffs being levied against the US, but other trade barriers as well.

I don't pretend to understand international trade policy, but when countries have massive trade deficits with the US and at the same time have substantial tariffs and/or trade barriers against the US, something ain't fair - especially when that country is a police state working to undermine the US, and even admitting it as if there is nothing we can do about it.

Franz is better than Moe Wagner. By a lot.

Giannis is better than his older brother. By more than a lot.

It happens. But yeah, not as common.

The point is that he is trying to justify tariffs based on trade deficits, not tariffs that are being levied against the US.

Purdue have been around since 1874. Has it won any national championship in either football or basketball? I am having a hard time finding any information about that accomplishment.

As I mentioned before, I was a US Army officer for 28 years. I wasn't a combat hero like Tim Walz, I was in procurement. I don't have one campaign ribbon, I was a REMF.

The Javelin’s predecessor was the TOW. The TOW was an effective anti-tank weapon but it was wire-guided. It required two soldiers, one to hold the missile before launching and one at the control panel to guide it to the enemy tank.

Here’s what happened. The guy holding the missile had a huge plumb of smoke as the TOW launched. The guider next to him guided the missile to the enemy tank. Tanks are almost always followed by infantry, so the tank crew and the surrounding infantry saw the smoke plumb. Nonetheless the guy with the controls had to stand there while he guided the missile to the target. I think we agree that this guy needed a large pair of cajoles.

I don't why except in the case of Mexico.

Likely reasons would be those countries are not keeping their agreements and/or are imposing non-tariff barriers.
