So you yourself prove that your statement that "Trump does not know his ass from a hole in the ground " was childishly foolish since you applaud a major 'long overdue' policy.

The WH says "A recent study recognized Canada’s heightened domestic production of fentanyl, and its growing footprint within international narcotics distribution." I don't know if that is true, but if so, Canada needs to do something about it quickly.

I did not favor pardons for those who assaulted police officers. Possibly it is in the same spirit as Lincoln's pardoning of dozens of Confederate soldiers. Or possibly Trump feels that none of them received fair trials because the feds covered up information - such as the extent of FBI involvement in Jan 6 and the coverup of Pelosi's admitted failure to secure the security that Trump offered. I am hopeful Trump will be able to release the covered up info on Jan 6 if it has not been destroyed. Aren't you?

Stopping them at the border is very difficult and very expensive. Canada, and especially Mexico, need to stop the illegals and the druggies from getting to the border.

With both NAFTA and USMCA, Canada has played the US for suckers for decades. They freely sell goods to the US but when they buy goods and supplies, they favor Canadian companies and ignore US providers. I have personal experience with this. I worked for a defense contractor in metro Detroit. I tried to do business with the Canadian military but was told "We are happy with our Canadian suppliers." When I told them that this violated NAFTA, they called me back a couple of days later and said "OK, you can bid on the contract, but just because you're the low bidder doesn't mean that you'll be awarded the contract."

I'm sorry it's hard and expensive. But it's not their responsibility to stop people from come into our country. Trump said he was going to take care of that.

Btw, who decides they're doing enough? I guess you'll just take trumps word for it.

Explain how the greatest trade deal in the history of the world, one that trump clearly and emphatically took credit for, allows our two largest trading partners to take advantage of us. Doesn't sound like such a great deal.

It's because Young sees all the professional intel on Tulsi Gabbard and decided to express his values and conscience. That is confusing when a guy acknowledges reality and won't bend to Trump sycophants.

And now he'll join in some statement that all is well, and again there will be another vivid example to all that Trump doesn't know what he's doing. Gabbard is a big fan of Edward Snowden and Bassar Assad for crissakes. There apparently is a limit, even for those that want to get elected in a Trump-believing primary.

Been a while, but found the following and it may have been as simple as Stutzman's better understanding of the crisis at the border which for years I've had a concern.

"Young's victory is significant for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

CNN reports that McConnell's super PAC, as well as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, pumped money into the Indiana race in a bid to defeat Stutzman, who McConnell fears is a second coming of Cruz, and another threat to his authority.

Stutzman has been a leader of the Tea Party in the House since he joined Congress."

"Young introduced himself to voters with his service in the military. Stutzman described himself as a small business owner.

Both men said they would repeal the Affordable Care Act. Both anti-abortion conservatives expressed a commitment to protecting the unborn.

Stutzman says the U.S. should build a wall on the country's border with Mexico.

"I believe that we have other issues just besides economic issues at the border," Stutzman said. "We have human trafficking, we have drug trafficking problems, and all of these are hitting our country in a dramatic way. I believe we have to know who's coming in and out of this country."

When asked if he agrees, Young didn't answer directly.

"It's going to take an amalgam of different factors I learned from my time in the U.S. Marine Corps, but it is essential during a time of war that we continue to keep that southern border safe from terrorists coming in," he said.

When asked about the country's spending on defense, both point to conservative budgets. Stutzman says he'd make sure military spending is as its highest point. Young says he'd support additional funding for next-generation equipment.

Both men claimed victory in the debate. Whose message resonates with voters remains to be seen on May 3."

Stevenson leaving really hurt us. Now she plays 12 minutes a game on an 11-11 Stanford team. Of course it is Stanford so there is more that came with her transfer than just basketball. That said, I am glad to see some better play from this team the past two games. Only 11 turnovers against Wisconsin. I didn't expect that. Nice.
Click to expand...

She seems to really love Stanford. Her fit at some place like Purdue was always a bit odd considering she seems to be from an affluent family living in a major metropolitan area. Her coming to Purdue of all places seemed a bit off and you could tell she was never a cultural *fit* with us. So it's not really that surprising that she'd leave for a place like Stanford. If she does transfer it's not going to be back to us, that's for sure.

But again - if I was puzzled by the fit and I'm in no way associated with the program, then KG probably should've been as well and pursuing a non-fit like that ultimately comes back to the coach who chose to recruit her. Again - all things lead back to the HC - is it completely fair? Maybe not. But that's why they make the big bucks.

He's resigning because he's going to lose the election. He's been PM for 9 years.

Depends on how we want to look at "good win." Is it a resume-building win? No. But after the last 6 weeks, beating a team 40+ spots above you in the NET is a definite step in the right direction.

I'm happy for the team. Losing by 30+ night after night has to take a toll. Sometimes you just need something--anything--positive. The team's been much more competitive since the debacle at Illinois. I hope they keep it going.

The February schedule is comparatively manageable. At this point, they just have to build whatever they can over the last 1/3 of the season.
Click to expand...
Agreed on the team needing something positive to happen and you could argue we actually saw that in the nebraska game. This team lost some fight and spirit I think because of the brutal schedule and we saw big margin losses to teams that probably aren't 20+ points better than us.

This is just you speaking for yourself. I believe you're on the record saying similar things about gays and lesbians.........that they gave a mental disorder. It obviously follows than you feel the same about the trans community. Religious minorities are not your bag. I guess you're ok with color as long as they are MAGA. Those attitudes correlate with a '50s version of women but who knows.
Click to expand...
I have no idea what you said or why you said it. However, due to your confusion I'll attempt to clear your mind. Gays, lesbians, tranny's and even those that act like cats and such are "abnormal" and do a mental disorder. I'm unsure what you call a religious minority to help you with that and those that are intelligent whether colored or not are okay, and....I can correlate the shootings in Chicago with abortions in New York which the Pearson Product Correlation Moment would show.

Not caring about feelings is not a good thing.

The idea that how you get to a goal doesn't matter as long as you get to that goal is a principle we usually reject.

There's nothing inherently good about "old school." Plenty of good things and bad things are "old school."

I've never seen a good leader in my time in the military and that started in 92 and ended in 20 who was the kind of thin skinned hypocritical ass Knight was. They may have gotten "results" but it was at the cost of the people they led and ultimately a lot of them just got worse as they aged until they ended up just like Knight.

You can get results being like Keady or Painter. Firm, but fair. Kind but demanding. Not requiring things they didn't give a damn about holding themselves accountable to like Knight was.

There's nothing about Knight worthy of emulation or respect IMO. He's mostly forgotten now and that's a good thing.

J6 Bombshell: Trump Didn't Just Offer Military to Protect Capitol, He Ordered It but Was Disobeyed

Bob, I've said it before and apparently I have to say it again....when are you going to put Jan 6 in your rearview mirror? I realize it's your Pearl Harbor and 9/11 wrapped into one, but it's only Feb 3rd. You've got 4 more years of Trump and if you and Kat are this bent out of shape already, I'm worried you might end up in the loony bin. sitting in a corner muttering "Jan 6th, Trump, Jan 6th, Trump, Jan 6th, Trump".

Every time you you try to spread your disinformation about it, I'll point out your lies........which is the only way you can deal with the fact that you have backpedaled and caved on your mantra that you get what you deserve if you attack the police. In this case, freedom.

TKR is such a fantastic talent. I don't think he gets the attention he's earned. Part of it is because of how outstanding Braden is, stealing some of that attention. Trey is such a treat to watch, especially on the offensive end.
