I've been using this brand of Melatonin for years and it's some of the best sleep I've had in my life. Happy to see JA17 endorsing a product that I actually use.

His ears finally caught a stiff breeze and he's been in the stratosphere since....

I am serious when I ask you this question: how many legal immigrants? I know at least 100 and they are primarily Latino with some Europeans. Legal immigrants act different than illegal immigrants, it doesnt have to be racial profiling, legal immigrants are not hanging out at home Depot waiting for work, legal immigrants are not driving around without any version of ID, legal immigrants are not committing crimes at a high rate. The fact that you believe that legal and illegal immigrants all act the same way is crazy.

So many jokes here... Steelers fans are dying off though. I don't know if I've met a Steelers fan under 30. For living in NC that's quite exceptional. Every die hard or fringe Steelers fan is over 35 here. The remnants of the holdover of the fans who's parents had the Steel curtain and went through he Bettis, Big Ben years who saw glory. I'm tired of people saying the Steelers travel well. They don't travel, they're already there! Pittsburgh is a very spread out city that enveloped the entire region that died off and sent transplants packing. I wish there was metric for air traffic to debunk this. The only caveat to fans traveling somewhere relates to location/temperature. Someone in Minnesota, Buffalo, New England, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, or a colder climate is going to be a lot more apt to spend the money and fly south for a good game with warm weather than someone from New Orleans or Houston saying "hey, I can't wait to go to Minnesota for the Saints @ Vikings in December and we can check out [checks notes] the Mall of America and Walker Museum, and have great Minnesota food¹" The cowboys fans always pack stadiums full because... Nevermind. Too many "insensitive" jokes can be made. Like, literally, the only people who like the cowboys are dumb as *****. ¹Minnesota doesn't have unique food.

he did the directv red zone. Hanson does NFL Network

+1. "Evabody funny...now he funny, too." 🤨

What they started doing 2 years ago pissed a lot of people off. In October they would send an e-mail to all season tickets requiring that they start paying for next year's tickets IN OCTOBER. The current season was still going on and they still had a lot of home games left to play in the current season and they were already asking for money for the following season. It wasn't popular with the season ticket holders at all.

Funny thing is that Newton's shoulder injuries started from a car accident not the football field.

And remember that on the trans pride flag the light blue represents boys and the pink represents girls. But please remember that they aren't trying to sexualize children you bigots.

It's not a puzzle why the Jets are doing this and it is not because they will make money selling the tickets on the secondary market. The odds of them making money is the same as the odds of the Jets having a realistic shot at the playoffs this December. It has to be the Jets are having trouble getting people to renew their season tickets (not surprisingly) and they are offering an enticement that not only encourages the renewal of seasons for the 2025 season but also for the 2026 season.

This is where I'm at. There might be a temporary pause, be it of days, months, or even a few years. But now Iran looks at the world and sees a regional Air Force that can dominate its skies and that actually has dominated its skies in a matter of hours. They also look at everyone leaving North Korea alone. And the Ukrainians wishing they hadn't given up their nukes. If the regime survives this episode, the best path to long-term security is a nuke. Peace through strength, as "they" say.

More please! From @NellieBowles in @TheFP: “[A]ll the pro-Palestinian protests have turned pro-Iran, with folks taking to the streets waving the flag of the Islamic Republic. The American left never knew what to do with the Iranian feminist dissidents, since everyone knows those women love their subjugation. They are marching through the streets for the regime, their progressive brothers. Iran, out of the blue, posted a suggestive videos showing a man’s fingers tenderly stroking a small but thick nuke.” The ideological cognitive dissonance on the left is rarely explored by legacy media and of course the AOCs et al never give interviews which are even mildly difficult so while it is obvious to outsiders it isn’t obvious to the people within “the movement.” But marching for the leading state-sponsor of terror and a regime that enable the Syrian genocide while conducting 46 years of terrorist plots and killing more than 1,000 American military over that period is the most mind-bending turn yet. The Democratic Party’s capture by these cadres will be hard for the party to escape.

I’m with you. Panicked? No. Concerned? You betcha.

Of course Kim identifies with watching Josh allen. He is extremely talented much like cam. He's one of the best quarterbacks in the league of course you want to see yourself like that. Anytime I'm throwing the football in the backyard with someone I identify as Josh ***** Allen He's entertaining because he's so goofy, but he offers no greater insight. I'm sure that there are 100 quarterbacks he would use to leverage his name. And he does the same shaft slob job on half a dozen other quarterbacks, most notably Lamar Jackson.

What I think SHOULD happen? As an ardent non-interventionist, I would have Iran agree to a JCPOA v2.0 crafted by the IAEA. In return, the international community would lift all economic sanctions on Iran, agree to a permanent ceasefire, and impose a worldwide BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction) policy against Israel if Israel does not oblige. I would also open up all channels of cultural communication with Iran as part of the deal, which would essentially be a “Trojan horse” strategy to foment internal dissent and revolution via secular humanist principles. Consider these additional questions as you assess this topic: 1. Who do you trust the most among Trump, Netanyahu, Khamenei, and the IAEA? My answer: easily the IAEA. Not even close. 2. Is Iran a rational actor or an irrational one? My answer: a rational one, believe it or not. Their observed behavior has remained consistent with a country fully aware of and completely invested in its self-preservation. A “rational actor,” as defined in this instance, understands that the single use of a nuclear weapon against Israel would equate to its own instant annihilation. Modern world history has taught us that possession of nuclear weapons equate to protection from American imperialism. Become Russia or North Korea and not Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, etc… 3. What is motivating the United States government in this conflict? My answer: the MIC, AIPAC, powerful individual oligarchs like Miriam Adelson, and (sadly) many Christian fundamentalists. 4. What is motivating Israel in this conflict? My answer: a quest for regional hegemony so that a Greater Israel (including Gaza, the West Bank, all of Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, southwest Syria, and southern Lebanon) can be constructed with minimal resistance. 5. Why did Israel attack Iran just days before the latest scheduled peace talks in Oman? My answer: to sabotage the peace talks. 6. Why was Trump insistent that Iran not have a nuclear energy program for civilian purposes? My answer: typical “Art of the Deal” stupidity. 7. What are the prospects for de-escalation? My answer: Frighteningly poor. The world leaders involved all appear to be sociopaths, in the clinical DSM-5 sense of the word. Tribalism is deeply entrenched and the dehumanization process is highly advanced. Iran just struck an Israeli hospital, for bleep’s sake, which I interpreted as an “oopsie!” response to all 36 of the hospitals Israel has targeted in Gaza since 10/7/23.

I strongly disagree. Israel started a preemptive war with the intention of destroying Iranian nuclear capability. If you think the Iranians, to the extent the regime survives this, won't do anything they can to get a nuke after this episode, then I have a bridge to sell you. Obviously any sort of nuclear accord that involves the survival of Fordow isn't acceptable to the Israelis. Netanyahu has been saying for years that Iran is weeks away from a nuke. So for him to justify the expense and domestic loss incurred as a result of this, Fordow--the epicenter of the Iranian nuke program--has to go. They can't take anything less. That's a corner. They can't finish this without kinetic US help. They don't have kinetic US help. The way out of the corner is kinetic US help.

Rather than paint themselves into a corner Isreal has cleverly manipulated the situation by placing pressure and focus on the US to become directly involved in the conflict. Publicly placing responsibility for the fate of the world exposed to the potential of Iranian nuclear weapons that don't exist at present. Playing us like a puppet. My view is stay out and leave them to sink or swim. This nonsensical world cop thing aside it's their fight not ours.

I don't see it that way at all. Israel was completely aware of the Natanz and Fordow facilities prior to their action. I read a detailed report of what it would take and the suggested efficacy of the US' Massive Ordnance Penetrator months ago, which isn't a guarantee. Either way, the Israelis have prosecuted this action with incredible skill and I doubt there have been any surprises other than Iranian incompetence since it began.

Israel painted itself into a corner. This has to end with, at the very least, Fordow destroyed. The Israelis can't do it from the air alone. So, it's either boots on the ground (which probably will require US "transportation" services at the very least) or the US bunker buster. So now Israel really needs US help to get this thing to a somewhat reasonable conclusion. Trump bought some time for negotiations but, realistically, it's going to be hard for Iran to agree to anything with Israeli jets over Tehran, and Netanyahu is going to struggle to agree to anything that doesn't involve the Iranian nuclear program physically destroyed.

Only 27 pages of Trumps lie, in 6 years???? I thought this should be like 100o pages If anyone actually listened to the dummy mouthpieces of the DumbNC

Back to the thread subject. The "two weeks" thing from Trump is getting a lot of attention by a poster in this thread. I won't comment in those threads, but...... I heard a couple days ago from an Israeli military expert who claimed that Israel could probable keep up its Air Force strikes for about :two weeks more." The next day Trump throws out the same number.

I was dying to know jojofromjerz thoughts on the Iran conflict. Thanks homey!

Or maybe play for a SB contender?

Shai’s game is a Jordan light with his ability to score in the midrange and get to the rim. Then Williams has some Pippen vibes at times. But OKC just isn’t very likable. I love this Pacers team. They really blew a huge upset chance with the game 4 loss. But here we are. They can still do it. Tall task, it seems like both teams defenses are feeding off the home crowd. I think Pacers have led for something like 3 minutes on the road the whole series? It’s been a great series though. This level of defense is 90’s like and so enjoyable. I hope the Pacers can pull it out. TJ McConnell has been insanely impressive. Siakem as well. Toppin has really helped when he’s been on. OKC just looked asleep tonight. They feed off those fans. It’s a home series it seems. I expect them to close it out. Congrats to the Pacers either way. Can’t wait for game 7!

Um......Cam's a clown
