Lie #1 bites the Dust....

Harris was a DEI hire. Biden considered only black women to serve as his VP.


Harris agreed that the Border Wall should be built.

So he selected a black woman. Whites men have been selecting only white for decades. It’s called diversity for a reason. Harris is still no less qualified than the predecessors. More qualified than others even.

So did Chump with a repub House and Senate. Ain’t no wall built is it.

After this election win for Chump, and the repubs regained control of the senate and congress, I have yet heard if any wall being built.

She only started saying to build the wall when the people around her said it was polling the best. She has zero real thoughts. Same for the no tax on tips thing. Trump said it, people loved it and she was like "oh yea I have an idea." She's a moron.

Anyone else just not watching our games anymore?

sounds like a cover for CIA, but glad you have come in from the cold.
That's the extreme heat in Saudi Arabia. Where I lived (Dhahran) had the world's highest dew point, 108F. Nothing like being out windsurfing on an over 100F day and sailing into a fog bank! The first year I lived there my thermometer hit 100F every day from late February to the beginning of October. I always laugh when someone in the US says how hot it is, as I doubt they know what real hot weather is, 120+F, or what 100% or near humidity is like for a month (August) with the temperature over 100F. That was the month to take vacation if you could.

The Jacobsen injury was a big curveball here. I also think that Painter was taking a multi-year view on this.
That multiyear view started with Trey getting a lot of minutes last year. Imagine if Trey was just now starting to get some comfort. I pointed out such last year when Trey was at the four and the experience it would provide when Zach was gone.

Yea but she was qualified or something. Remember when Biden said that Republicans wanted to put blacks back in chains? I can't remember if that was against Romney or not. But then they want the lady who purposely kept inmates over their sentences for free labor😂 You really can't make this stuff up.

I just don’t understand why we went into this season with our situation at the 5. Painter’s been watching these guys for years, how would he not see the gaps for this year and reach into the portal? He was willing to at the 3 last year.
Maybe...and this is a guess like all of us make....Matt doesn't believe the game performance mirrors what he sees in practice and believes some experience and confidence will provide what he needs? The 3 spot was much more a blaring issue than the 5 this year. In the FDU debacle, it was very noticeable that a 3 that could handle the ball and defend...especially handle the ball was needed. The D additive just allowed a smidgen of rest for Braden. THAT was crucial. Many on here believe that just a simple switch to Trey eliminates the 5 concerns and so I believe that 3 was much more of a concern than the current 5...and remember with some experience what many thought Daniel could do...and losing him was not expected either. FWIW, Matt has said he thought he had the best front line in the country a few weeks ago.

I wouldn't call Chump, Hitler but I would say that his rhetoric is out the playbook of fascism. Just look how he wants to control the media. Faux News was State run, propaganda television when he was president the last time and will be again. To answer your question, being called a Marxist is not a good thing but that's how y'all see Harris. And Chump being a fascist is how I see Chump.
Actually Fox was the most unbiased channel of any. Where CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC were all about 90% negative, Fox ran around 50/50. So who did nothing but listen to the propaganda? Now Ginger Psaki wants to silence the media that isn't cable news. So who is the fascist?

Rick Scott's economic snapshot!

Even those tuned in and aware of how bad things were...and ARE might think things are now worse than imagined. If on any heart medicine, take it to prepare yourself for the horrible task at hand!

Wait, I thought the dems lost the election because citizens didn't understand how good the economy is? Something is just not adding up.

I was an active duty US Army officer for 28 years. Your suggestion of a SECDEF with extensive combat experience may sound like the appropriate credentials, but that experience does not bring the right set of skills to the table.

There is a vast transition going in military munitions. Lloyd Austin predicted that Russian tanks would overrun Kiev in two days, but Javelin missiles that were carried and fired by single soldiers took out virtually every tank with ease (link). Tanks are now essentially obsolete. Ditto armoured personnel carriers.

The same is true of aircraft carriers. They are obsolete. China, Russia and Iran all have "carrier killer" hypersonic missiles that can destroy them. They fly at Mach 5 (a bullet from a rifle flies at Mach 3) and while our carriers have anti-missile missiles that can intercept them, when fired in swarms at a carrier several are certain to get through. FYI, DOD opened a hypersonic missile lab at Purdue last year (link).

Fighter jets are also obsolete. Modern surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles can easily take them out.

We need a SECDEF who understands that the future of warfare will be drones, fire-and-forget missiles, a sub-surface Navy, AI-piloted aircraft, the much-ridiculed Reagan Star Wars and ground troops who are not massed together in clusters.

Superb post, one of the best I have ever read on this forum.

Trump has said he wants the US to have an iron dome. Bravo for that.

Thank you for your years of service to this great nation!

Alabama -2.5

I can’t bet against my Boilers although I have some doubts tonight. Anyway, I played over Nelson 11.5, over Sears 19.5, over Fletcher 13.5, I’ve been hot on the player props, those are my picks. Let’s go Purdue, had a buddy tell me to come over for the Tyson/Paul fight, told him I’ll see him after the Purdue game.
Which site do you play player props?

Braden's TO's are going to be high all year. I'm not sure there is a player in the country that will have the ball in their hands and be asked to do as much as Smith this year. I can live with most of his TO's (tho he is prone to about 1 dumb one a game) as long as his ATO continues to be nearly 2.5 to 1. That is an elite ratio.

Pretty much agree - also like Painter said - you live with some of those that are "basketball" plays (in his view), but you can't have the ones like the back-court violation and the one hitting Loyer when he wasn't looking.

Has to be at his best tonight for the Boilers to have a good shot to prevail, IMO.

Well does Hegseth understand all of that?
Well, he has a Bronze Star Medal and a Combat Infantryman Badge, plus a Master of Public Policy degree from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. So he sounds like he's got some military experience and some brains. Let's hope he also has the insight to stop building target practice tanks, sitting duck aircraft carriers and clay pigeon F-35s.

To me, that is worse than what the Biden admin did because the repubs were yapping this, build the big beautiful wall that and did nothing.

If she was qualified then she failed miserably as being named the border czar by Biden. She never even visited the border. I would think that’s insubordination of what your boss assigned her to do. She did nothing.
We can argue all day if Harris did a good job or not as VP. But what is not debatable is whether her credentials was worthy being selected as VP. Then label her as a DEI hire is disingenuous. I personally think that Harris was blindsided by the powers that be in the Biden admin, including Biden himself to tab Harris as the so-called border czar. I don't that was a task that she wanted.

Secondly, you can't ever expect a democrat regime to be aggressive as the border. However, Obama did actually deported more folks than any president.

Thirdly, the repubs has always "talked" about being tough with the border. However, in 2017 when the repubs had control of the WH, Senate, and Congress and absolutely did nothing. To me, that is worse than what the Biden admin did because the repubs were yapping this, build the big beautiful wall that and did nothing.
