Rubio Fires All Overseas USAID Staff U.S. Secretary of State / National Security Advisor, Marco Rubio, and Director of National Intelligence ODNI Tulsi Gabbard continue making background moves well worth noticing. Secretary Marco Rubio has moved forward with instructions to fire all overseas USAID staff. WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered U.S. embassies around the world Tuesday to move ahead with a directive to fire all remaining staffers with the U.S. Agency for International Development. He said the State Department will take over USAID’s foreign assistance programs by Monday. A federal judge had temporarily blocked an executive order by President Donald Trump for mass firings at multiple federal agencies, including the State Department, and plaintiffs say Rubio’s reorganization plan appears to violate that court injunction. The Trump administration says the plan was already underway when the president issued the order, so there’s no possible violation. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston has yet to make a determination. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said Tuesday that Rubio’s directive “wasn’t a surprise.” https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/06/11/the-duo-strike-again-rubio-fires-all-overseas-usaid-staff-gabbard-appears-to-have-nabbed-another-one/

lol this song is naughty.sup Tuco 🙂 always good to read You! I hope the bills win the Lombardi this year. we are getting too old for this waiting around chit. 🙂 now you are making me cry. Oh My an eagles cover Brilliant xo

You're never going to please everybody and that's been the nature of the process for as long as I've been alive. And before that and after I'm dead. So quit complaining like the practice of providing special interests perks and favors was suddenly invented and inserted into legislation starting in 2025.

There are exceptions. Green and Lofton could still run late in their NFL careers. Nature favors the lithe track-build. Flutie and Owens claims are conjecture. Some Tik-tok 35 yard dash with a laser pointer on a tripod being sold as a measuring device doesn't convince me that Owens runs a 4.4 at age 50. That's why I referenced the infamous NFL veteran combine. Legit times. Finding an NFL veteran without your stipulations is not the norm. There is a reason that Marquise Goodwin refused to play with any minor injury while with the Bills when he was training for the Olympics. All of those inevitable "minor" muscle and joint injuries you get in the NFL compound and add ticks to those track times. And of course, Usain Bolt is an irrelevant comp because he didn't play a contact sport. And 4.22 would have been a couple lost steps for him. By 2020 Tre White had already lost a step in coverage. And that was prior to the injuries. Go back and watch him trying to run with the Rams last year. Brutal.

Yeah, but that means that you SPENT, $500!😁

Over my head I hear music in the air Over my head I hear music Over my head it's loud and clear It's going to my head Music, music, I hear music Music, I hear music, music Music oh oh oh lord Music over my head Kings X

Parrino is the second reporter to say the Bills drafted two corners in round 1 and 6, completely ignoring Jordan Hancock. Does this mean he’s been getting most of his time at safety? Or are they not counting nickel CB?

hard to believe it was possible, but ratings actually dropped from last season---by a whopping 20%. how long will ABC/ESPN/Fox hang in there with this?

Why is this in a tax bill and how is this allowed via the reconciliation process?

you are simply providing a math equation. in his last year in Buffalo, for instance, Davis would have had over 1500 yards with 160 targets. Last year McConkey would have had 2300 yards, Jameson Williams would have had 2750! so, yes, I agree that 160 targets X 8.21 yards per target = 1313 yards. not a point worth making

If you dont have Josh Mahomes Lamar or Burrow the ability for sustained success is quite difficult year in year out. From a purely macro view I illustrated over a decade period they had at most 8-9 equals or better in terms of regular season winning and accomplishments. I get everyone in todays world is SB or bust, but winning consistently does matter a lot because eventually things swing your way. KC pre Mahomes from 2010-2017 won 3 division crowns & made the playoffs five of the eight seasons up to 2018... but had just one playoff win. People viewed them as a pretty good team that was successful but lacked a QB (sorry Alex Smith) to get them to that next level. Part of that was because they would lose to teams with better QBs come playoff time. Dallas isn't much different, Dak is a solid QB but no one is confusing him for being top 5 in the league and if they are thank the media for that. The basic premise of being a good team should be consistent success over a long period of time. Over the last decade Dallas has demonstrated that to level greater then SF, but everyone just looks at the SB piece. Dallas has probably done more right then wrong, but yes their owner interferes because of his ego and the QB is not a world beater either so like every team not running Josh or Mahomes out there they are flawed and need luck come playoff time. Truthfully the best organization in football is the Eagles because they have been winning for decades with Lurie and throwing good QBs, bad QBs, various head coaches etc.. no matter they draft well, invest in their roster, constantly try for good coaches, and most importantly the owner writes checks but otherwise stays the heck out of it. There is 100% a major truth if Jerry Jones would shutup and just write the checks the Cowboys would probably have made a SB or two by now.

Sorry. Thought it was the AB thread. That's one down the list. 🙁

There's some market inefficiencies to take advantage of here. First, let's set the stage: In 2018, the salary cap was 177M. In 2025, its 279M. In 2018, one of the best RB's of his era, Todd Gurley, who was second in MVP voting signed a massive extension. That extension was 4 years for 57M. An AAV of of $14M. 21M guaranteed at signing (with more guarantees later if he made the team). A record setting contract. Those numbers, TODAY, would make him the 4th highest paid running back in the league. So when we are talking about a Cook extension, and how that fits in the salary cap, just remember, he is asking for a little more than 2018 Todd Gurley money with a $100M more in salary cap space. Now, of course, other contracts have been inflated. QBs make more than ever. WR's make more than ever. Odell Beckham set the WR market in 2018. He signed a 5 year, 95M deal, with 18M AAV and 41M in GTD. in 2025, that would make him tied for the 20th highest paid WR, right next to Christian Kirk (who inked his deal in 2022). The guarantees are even close, with Kirk getting $37M over 4 years of his deal. So what conclusions can we draw from this? Nothing that we didn't already know. The NFL at large has decided that running backs aren't valuable and that WR's are crazy valuable. However, I would argue that this points to a strategy to take advantage of NFL decision-making at large. In a league where there is 1 winner and 31 losers, you don't want to follow the pack. I suggest the Bills SHOULD meet Cook in the middle if he would take $15M AAV. We don't have a WR worth $30M. We aren't sure we ever will, and we aren't sure that we would pay them even if we did. I would also suggest the Bills should NEVER pay a WR anything ever. There is no point in playing in a market where JAGs or good players are having their value this inflated. I don't know where the WR carousel ends, but I don't want to be on it when it does.

All jokes aside, what an absolute tragic epitaph to what would have been a HoF career.

Based on their actions the Democrats believe illegal immigrant sex offenders, murderers, rapists, human traffickers, drug dealers, and gang members are above the law because their actions are inhibiting Federal law enforcement from apprehending them and proceeding with deportation. And these riots are simply bad optics. Do they really believe this is a winning strategy for 2026 and beyond? Think about how utterly irrational their position is here. Do they really expect to gain any political capital or support outside of the fringe left that is already in the fold? A sensible approach would be to concede these "bad actors" need to be apprehended and removed then proceed with adopting a common sense position on the migrant issue that will move the debate towards the political middle where a compromise can be achieved.

Keon at RB. He'll be able to scoot through holes that develop well after the snap. Every carry is a draw play. Every true draw play catches the opposition thinking the whistle had already been blown. 🤔😁

I need THREE Tickets!!!😁

This has nothing to do with what you posted and what I followed up with.. but since you brought it up, Saleh was one of the most clueless NFL HC's since Hue Jackson. Jets had to let him go as he was drowning in his own incompetence.

I think Ingram may very well start the season as CB2.
