So I'm wondering. Did prescription drug costs also go down IMMEDIATELY? Did the Ukraine war end in 24 hours? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm not sure what to think. Most of the metrics are troubling. I thought he looked good for 3 games

Bump for Finding.

True. The 30 year is at 5.1% as I write this. Borrowing costs have gone up ... a lot. https://www.ft.com/content/c2dd8918-d6c1-4c60-b0d8-4959e287b11a The 30-year Treasury yield rose 0.11 percentage points to 5.096 per cent in evening trading in New York, the highest level since late 2023, as the price of the bonds fell. It extended its rise to 5.12 per cent after the bill passed the House of Representatives by a single vote, up more than 0.2 percentage points this week.

⬆️ Finding active this morning, but not in any of the numerous "we were duped into thinking Biden was mentally fit" threads... I wonder why? 😂

5 pages. But many have left this venue. I don't update it. on the other side my follow list is I think 4 pages. It's a style I like by choosing who I wish to read and I receive notifications of posts. if it is a topic of interest I'll read it I don't have time for nonsense or posters that annoy me.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bond-market-jitters-rise-on-narrative-shift-from-positive-tariff-news-to-mounting-us-debt-crisis-080046279.html The 30-year Treasury yield (^TYX) is now trading at its highest level since 2007, climbing above 5.1% following a weak Treasury auction and renewed fiscal concerns. The latest leg higher came early Thursday after the House approved President Trump’s sweeping tax reform package, reigniting investor anxiety over the country's worsening fiscal trajectory.

I am very proud of my little Bills Fan in NC. We are approaching singularity here, in which all conversations may be with himself and only himself! Keep on blocking, keep on talking to yourself. You are a winner!

I like how this too is being blamed on Biden. Is there a statute of limitations on Biden blaming, or does it basically continued forever?

This is a small problem in the grand scheme of things, but I am glad it is being addressed

The party of “cutting debt” cheering on a bill that adds $20 trillion to the deficit through 2035? Interesting.

So, shockingly, the bill that passed is a whole lot worse than anyone expected. Yes, worse. Budget busting, complexity-increasing, special interest-favoring. This is what they do when they have the power to do whatever they want. They become the parody of the Party of the Wealthy and special interests. Eric, buddy, weirdly no mention of No Tax on Social Security! I wonder why.

The Democrat party is the party of the modern day Nazi

Every subsequent failed attempt to get a WR1 in the draft are honest mistakes compared to passing on AJ Brown, DK Metcalf and Terry McCLaurin in the 2019 draft and choosing Cody Ford instead. They've been chasing ever since. Beane has struggled to find an elite pass rushing DE but at least in that instance he has the excuse of having to deal with the rigidity of McDermott's scheme. The amount of DE's who check all of the boxes to satisfy the wants of the McDefense are limited. If you insist on 6'6" 270 pound DE's with 34" arms you gotta' be willing to keep throwing numbers at it and take on day 3 risks like they did in Carolina with Greg Hardy. And perhaps McDermott hasn't been willing to allow Beane to go that far. But you aren't getting an Aidan Hutchinson with the 28th pick. Beane has no such excuse at WR. Those are unmitigated whiffs.

$40,000 SALT deduction. AYFKM? Subsidy for California and NY residents. And who pays $40,000 in state and local taxes? People with a lot of income. We call them "rich."

Well, he didn't say "where".

The guy definitely had a big personality. And seemed to be quite the character. (Can’t say the same for Pegula who I could not imagine being any blander) The Colts have always been a pretty solid franchise. Except for their GM Ballard who pretty much sucks. As for 65 being too young to go. You live fast and hard your whole life, you are very lucky to get near 65. Opioid addiction will mess you up.

Your mental approach and belief is more impactful than "reality". Being proven by advanced neuroscience.

Here's the law in asylum cases: to be granted asylum or refugee status (they're the same thing, it just depends where you apply) you have to show that there's a good chance you'd be persecuted (think: killed, beaten, thrown in jail and severely mistreated without process) based on your race. There's always a question here: are they trying to drive you off your land so they can benefit from having the land? Or are they trying to throw you off the land because you're white? This is typically a case-by-case thing. Sometimes they just want the land or your stuff, and they'd do the same thing if you were, say, a South Asian/Indian ancestry land owner. The offensive thing here is that Trump has declared that basically every Boer farmer is being persecuted because he's white. He shortcut the analysis, but only for white people.

Correct. He’s not very quick or explosive…massively overrated—and overdrafted—because of his college helmet and his father… So far…

Nothing except the guy you mentioned would be worse. Trump has made America into a roque nation, an untrustworthy, volatile nation, a nation closer to Russia than once friends. Fixing the world's financial mess and the US financial mess did not need to be threatening to ex friends to ex partners to US democracy, to basic rights inside the US border unless the new rule of US oligarchs is the primary direction. Yeah to fixing the border, yeah for reducing illegal drug availability, yeah for shutting down woke, boo for ingoring courts, for trampling rights, for threatening friends, for insulting half the world, for the tariff wars, for coziness to dictators, for appointing idiots to head administration, for using Musk for Doge for not representing all Americans, and for not being truthful.
