Nice Hanover Women's Basketball Senior Day Article About Katherine Benter, Jack's Older Sister

https://tribtown.com/2025/02/03/katherine-benter-makes-most-of-hanover-hoops-experience/

From the Seymour Tribune, my hometown newspaper. I still read it most days that it is published even though I have not lived there since leaving for Purdue in 1976.

Seymour and Jackson County, Indiana, will always be home for me.

Katherine sounds like a wonderful young lady who will be an excellent teacher. And the family seems well-grounded. Looking forward to Jack's Purdue debut next season.

Not every living creature, but over thousands of years I wonder how a trait that does not contribute to continuation of the species has survived. I don't understand it. Do you? Does anybody?

I'm certainly going to get into a conversation with you about genetics, something neither of us know much about.

I will believe the scientists. You can believe TJ.

For those that praise Chump’s tariffs

Too many things to write on this with any depth, but the view of tariffs with a "long" view differs from a "short" view as many opposing focus. Tariffs are only effective if you have the leverage and we are seeing that in play. Could certain things go up in cost...sure, but that doesn't capture the totality of a tariff in play...especially with a long view. Should things go up and should inflation result, there are other ways to compensate for those two items with money freed up by cutting waste and tax tables should more people having their money taken for taxes due to increased wages etc. How all these things work out is much more important that knee jerk response based on fear told by msnbc and it's ilk. Have they not seen the rise in prices everywhere as a result of Biden's administration when worrying about some commodity in trade to the USA costing more?

Economists are saying it. The WSJ is saying it. You can't blame this on the liberal media. But you'll continue to try.

He must of fixed the price on eggs in our area. I bought some yesterday for $3.00 a dozen. They are coming down it appears.

Lol. I assume you trust a take from Fox.

Just like Covid infections right?

Egg prices aren't coming down anytime soon, experts say | Fox Business

Elevated egg prices are expected to persist throughout the year as flocks continue to get hit with highly pathogenic avian influenza, otherwise known as bird flu.

Because Trump made the deal and like everything Trump did Biden executive ordered out of existence or didn't enforce it.
Trump is now back in office, sit back and enjoy the ride.

Which is it? Biden's executive orders or non enforcement? Lol. You don't know? Because you're just throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.
Maybe you have a link showing that Biden ignored the greatest trade agreement in human history.

I assume folks will say TKR is the 4 and Jacobsen the 5.

That may very well be the lineup, and yes Burgess may be in line for more time. But 3 bugs isn't enough depth. We need a versatile big who can cover for depth, injury, foul trouble or just an odd night.
Click to expand...
I think Burgess has a better chance to become a great fit next season with TKR and Braden than DJ.

Still would love to add a big, though I’m sure Painter’s more worried about having the money for both Braden and TKR.

So, you agree that the enslavement of black Africans was a function of an economic engine, not racism? The supply of African slaves provided by their fellow black Africans filled a need in the supply chain which was labor.
Click to expand...
Dude. No. I told you US slavery was the result of white supremacy sparked by pseudo-science. US slavery was raced based slavery called chattel slavery. The black Africans selling the other Africans was just part of the 3 headed snake of the slave trade. We've been through too many times. It it was pure economics, when slavery was over in 1865, blacks would have been on their merry way free to live and thrive. By the late 1870s that came to an end as the white supremacists enacted Jim Crow. Plus all of the racial hatred til to this day. Hence the topic of this thread. Getting rid of and blaming DEI.

You are the last person to be talking about this as you have absolutely no concept of history. You need to stay in your lane. Next thing you going to tell us that the slaves didn't have it as bad. I've had that argument here already.

Canada

Trump here, overall, seems to have won an agreement, where Canada is really going to do what it was already going to do. The Prime Minister saying this $1.3 billion border plan that he announced, back in December, is going to go into place.

And as for Mexico, this is how President Trump explained that result.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: They have agreed to put in 10,000 soldiers, permanently, like forever, 10,000 soldiers at their side of the border, and stop fentanyl and illegal aliens from coming into our country.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

COLLINS: According to Mexico’s Defense Ministry, there are already 15,000 troops, nearly, there on the border. It’s a deployment that started in 2019.

I know, but was responding to the all American quotes, and I do think Smith is all American, maybe first team.

But Cooper is probably the player of the year this year.

Am I not allowed to talk about Cooper Flagg in this thread just because its about a PG award?
Click to expand...
Understood.

Regarding Flagg as the POTY, I'm waiting to see how he responds when Duke gets punched in the mouth. The ACC is historically weak this year, which certainly helps Flagg. Real champions show their true colors when their back is against the wall, and I'm not convinced Duke has been there yet.

How about if the white Europeans didn't have a demand for black Africans the transatlantic slave trade would not exist. The black Africans that were sold to the Europeans were basically prisoners of war of the winning African tribe during war. So naturally they are either going to kill them or sell them to the Europeans for money, weapons, supplies what ever. Some of these tribal losers in battle were tortured to death.

The black Africans don't own any slave ships and never forced the Europeans to sail the ships to pick up the black Africans.

There's movies made about the program. It has an international following. It had it's own TV network. When you say "Touchdown Jesus" and "The Golden Dome" everyone know what school you're talking about. None of that can be said for any other program.

Couldn't agree more, that probably means CKG letting a boilermaker go as I think Stephens is safe since he's done a fairly good job recruiting so far. CKG could use another experienced coach to lean on though.

And why would an experienced coach that would be good enough for CKG to lean on come to a sinking ship like Purdue? CKG is a dead coach walking and almost everyone knows that. The only question is how long Bobo the clown lets the misery drag out.

But, wiithout black Africans selling their fellow black Africans into slavery, the transatlantic slave trade wouldn't have existed. It wasn't about race, it was about economics and supply/demand, in this case the SnD was for human labor. No white Europeans went onto African soil and rounded up a group of blacks, put them in shackles and force marched them onto a ship.
Had India or China been in closer proximity to Europe and the US, those two areas would have supplied the slave labor. In fact, much of India, when it was under British rule, used Indian slaves.
Yes, slavery was horrific, but white people aren't the only reason it existed.
