Pakistani National with Ties to Iran Charged in Connection with Foiled Plot to Assassinate a Politician or U.S. Government Official

Asif Merchant, also known as Asif Raza Merchant, was indicted yesterday with attempting to commit an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries and murder-for-hire as part of a scheme to assassinate a politician or U.S. government official on U.S. soil. Law enforcement foiled the plot...

I don't know for sure, but it seems we've lost Boilerbabe and Dakota Girl, as well as the well-respected Illinois fan from the previous group ... and I think some others this year. As I approach 80, life is becoming far more valuable.

I was or am hopeful that they have a new moniker on the other site, but you are correct . Hopefully, they will see this and respond. In a blink of the eye, things can change for a lot of people. So many gatherings I took for granted 30 years ago totally unaware of how special those times were and how special they were with family and friends. As I said previously even with the disagreements we share a bond for Purdue and wish for the best and if a poster posts a lot, we get an idea...a perception of that person that lets us know a little about them. Pitbull was another... :(

Colvin and Heide yikes

Colvin is starting to remind me of Anthony Johnson a little bit in terms of his shooting issues. AJ was a fantastic high leveler shooter/scorer in high school up in Chicago and I believe a 4-star top 75 recruit for Painter but he was never able to translate his scoring to high major college competition. His shot, while beautiful, was too slow for the athletes he faced in college and the opponent could recover too easily. Colvin's shot is beautiful but as I watched his summer highlights and early season highlights, his stroke appears to have a lot of little moving part when dialed in which leads to a slower release.

I think he is feeling that in games now where people are recovering faster to him. His mechanics are messed up and have progressively gotten worse since the Ole Miss game. You can tell his misses before the ball leave his hands due to his legs and arms being so out of synch from what his tunned in stroke looks like.

I hope he is able to find his stroke again before the end of the season and uses the offseason the find something that can work and also develop handles to get to a pull up.

I hope he can develop his dribbling as well.

All Five Conference Champs Lost Their First Game In The Playoff

I hope you are kidding! I wouldn’t mind going to 14 teams. So add two more first round games but same number of rounds. I’m sure the big ten and sec would like each of their top rated teams to get the bye

Every team with a first round bye lost. And bear in mind, if B1G champ Oregon plays AAC champ Tulane and SEC champ Georgia plays Sunbelt champ Marshall, that 'warm-up game" would be just as good as a bye, or better. Plus everybody has a shot at it. All five G5 champs would be in the playoff. Just like March Madness.

And this 32-team format doesn't add a week to the schedule. If you end all CCGs and play the first round of 16 games that week, then the second round of 8 games is played the following week then that is the same dates as the first round with the current 12-team format.

And just think of the extravaganza of games for TV. Instead of showing a handful of CCGs followed by an array of totally meaningless bowl games, we'd have dozens of games in an NC playoff. And every conference would cash in on it.

Purdue at Minnesota: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

That was a jaw-dropping beatdown last night-- a scary combination of Illini athleticism and execution, and what had to be the most clueless, inept defense ever by Oregon. Underwood is kind of a wierdo, but his results speak for themselves.

Of course, Oregon will have all that ineptitude worked out by the time Purdue shows up in Eugene later this month.

The Featherheads' psycho, myopic fans take manic depression to amazing levels, and their seething envy of Painter and Purdue makes reading their fan boards a delight!

Pakistan National flys to Iran, then flys into Texas, he is on THE TERROR WATCHLIST, he then gets interviewed by The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and he is GRANTED ENTRY INTO AMERICA

This same man is arrested for plotting to kill Donald Trump and US leaders

“If you're unaware of who this is, his name is Asif Raza Merchant. He is a Pakistani national, and he recently wanted to visit the US.

Now he didn't fly directly from Pakistan. Now first, he went to our good old friends in Tehran. He flew from Pakistan to Iran, spent 4 days there, then flew directly from Tehran to Houston. Now when he got to Houston, he ran into some trouble because Assif here is on the terrorist watch list.

So you can imagine when he showed up, there were some issues.

Luckily, Asif is a very good talker. I mean, he'd have to be because even though he was on the terrorist watch list and was interviewed by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, they decided, uh, no big deal, and gave him special permission to enter the US.

They actually gave him what's known as special public benefit parole, which is a privilege reserved for people whose visits are so beneficial to the American people that their history doesn't matter.

Whatever he said he was doing here must have been f**king spectacular or at least the FBI thought so. So even though Assif was on the terrorist watch list, they let him in.

He gave him special parole. Although that didn't work out too well because yesterday, Assif was arrested. Now what do you think he was arrested for? (Go ahead and pause the video and put it in the comments.) Asif was arrested for plotting with Iran to murder Donald Trump and 35 other government officials.

Who could have seen that coming? Who could have guessed? Pakistani national who is on the terrorist watch list flies from Pakistan to Tehran, Iran, spends 4 days there, and then flies directly to the US. He is picked up, fingerprinted, and released even though he's on the f**king terrorist watch list. Yeah.

That ain't suspicious.”

Again he was arrested for assassination plot in United States

It’s stories like this, where the FBI has these people IN THEIR CUSTODY and releases them into America, that you know there are much sinister agendas going on then we’re being told

Now we have 3 major events in one day…. We all know what’s going on

Right. Abolish all CCGs and expand the playoff to 32 teams. Give a guaranteed spot to each P4 and G5 conference champ, but teams are seeded by their ranking and not by being a conf champ. Four brackets with four #1 seeds, four #2 seeds, etc, just like March Madness. The 2 or 3 G5 conf champs who aren't ranked in the top 32 would displace the #32, #31, #30 whatever ranked teams.

Tweak the brackets to avoid repeat matchups and to spread out the Big Ten and SEC teams as much as possible. No more Oregon-Ohio St repeat games unless they reach the Final Four.

Conference championship games are now meaningless. The losers of the Big Ten CCG and the SEC CCG ended up with easier pathways to the NC than the CCG winners did.

The CFP should never have been expanded to 12 teams and conferences like the mountain whatever, pac 12 and acc should never have been given automatic seeds. The overall seeding was terrible!

I don’t mind the top rated from 5 conferences if they are the top 5 rated, forget about conference championship games. And the seeds should be based on ratings just like in basketball. You could have multiple teams from same conference as 1 seeds in basketball, why can’t we do that here?

you need to discriminate, otherwise you can't discern and separate as fine as needed many times to understand and see the differences. Without discrimination you will see the world as only black and white and none of the shades in-between. Here is a good book written by a brilliant man who has actively sought understanding instead of being told what to think.

What I was saying was that IU had a good season. Give them some props.

They got blown out by ND. Several other teams also go blown out. Was Tennessee deserving? They also got blown away as did Oregon. People here are quick to rag on IU, basically because they are IU.

What I’m really saying is they made the playoffs include too many teams, and several teams were not deserving. And the decision for automatic bids needs to be reassessed.

A better number would have been 8 teams. If it were 8 teams and no automatic berths, it would have a lot better representation of today’s college football.

And yes, if it were only 8 teams, I would not have selected IU. Yes, they had a nice year. But they were no where close to being one of the top 10 teams in college football this year. And in saying that, neither was Alabama or SMu

I think most would say that the 12 that made it “deserved” it. Maybe 1-2 outliers in there. Some could argue SMU. Very few will argue Indiana didn’t deserve it. What people argue is they didn’t take the 12 best teams. The only conference champion I questioned was clemson. The other 4 were ranked in the top 12. I think Boise State was better than Indiana, their only loss was a close game against Oregon and they held on to PSU until the 4th quarter whereas those two teams would have smoked indiana like ND and OSU did. Arizona state was questioned but they won some good games down the stretch and had a close game against Texas.

So my only main gripes was clemson getting in and giving byes to conference champs. I don’t mind the top rated from 5 conferences if they are the top 5 rated, forget about conference championship games. And the seeds should be based on ratings just like in basketball. You could have multiple teams from same conference as 1 seeds in basketball, why can’t we do that here? Otherwise I thought the rating committee did great.

If they could change it I think the quad wins like basketball would make this more competitive but I don’t think they necessarily got that wrong, that is really an opinion that the vast majority may not agree with.
