My, oh my, Oh. My! So many snowflake right wing crocodile tears here!😂😂 I miss the old days when I was a Republican. If faced with this situation they would be rejoicing the opportunity to win the NYC mayor's office and would already be working to make it happen. Not anymore. Far right is just as useless as the far left. You've lost your spine and honed your whine while hiding in your own echo chambers pretending somehow, your view is the more intellectual one! Guilty until proven innocent. Brilliant!

UPDATE: ISRAEL v IRAN - Ceasefire reached?
GaryPinC replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Every candidate of any political party makes promises they never keep, Mr. Naive. Iran has a long history of conducting nuclear weapons activities behind the scenes of whatever deal is in place. https://www.iranwatch.org/our-publications/weapon-program-background-report/history-irans-nuclear-program "For years, however, Iran refused to answer the Agency’s increasingly detailed questions and insisted that the allegations were false. In 2011, the IAEA attempted to resolve all of its outstanding questions about Iran’s alleged efforts to pursue nuclear weaponization research, or the “possible military dimensions to Iran’s nuclear program.” In November of that year, it published its findings based on information it had received from IAEA member states, information provided by Iran, and its own investigative efforts. The IAEA judged the allegations of work on nuclear weapons “to be, overall, credible” and “consistent in terms of technical content, individuals and organizations involved, and time frames.” "When the JCPOA was agreed in July 2015, Iran and the IAEA signed a “roadmap” agreement intended again to resolve all of the IAEA’s outstanding questions related to this investigation. In December 2015, the IAEA issued its “Final Assessment,” concluding that Iran had a coordinated nuclear weapon-related program until 2003, and that some weapon-related activities continued through 2009. The report disclosed that Iran did not provide meaningful additional information for most of the 12 outstanding issues in the IAEA’s investigation. To many of the Agency’s questions, Iran offered no new information, made denials without explanation, or gave explanations contradicted by other information. Nonetheless, the IAEA Board of Governors voted unanimously to close the Agency’s investigation." In short, IAEA swallowed its concerns (and Iran never addressed them) for the good of signing JCPOA. That doesn't mean Iran stopped its ambitions. Hid them, probably scaled them down but only the naive believe they stopped. "In 2018, Israeli agents conducted a raid inside Iran and seized a trove of tens of thousands of documents relating to Iran’s past nuclear weapon effort, the so-called “Atomic Archive.” The Atomic Archive revealed Iran’s efforts to build nuclear weapons in much greater detail than was previously known (the AMAD Project). It also revealed the existence of a several sites connected to Iran’s nuclear weapon development effort. In particular, Parchin was home to high explosive test chambers and an underground tunnel site whose purpose might have been the production of uranium metal components for nuclear weapons." This raid was in January 2018, Trump pulled us out of JCPOA in May 2018. I wonder why he did that? Now in 2025 Iran either has or is very close to having hypersonic missiles, safe bet says they're figuring out how to put their theoretical nuclear warhead on it. Where that progress is, probably only Mossad knows. Plenty of European leaders and our democratic leadership have been naive on Iran, so I understand that you are too. The stakes are too high to remain as such, thankfully Mossad has been planning for this a long time. When it comes to humanity and compassion, narcissist Trump is simply a human sh1t stain. But he's handled this situation correctly. -

It's long been time to end the ridiculous charade of appeasing Iran and pretending them to be honored negotiations. Kudos to this administration for being direct, consistent, and true to their word. Let Iran consider that in future dealings and the fact that none of their proxies and allies crawled out of their rat holes to help them. That says it all -

Honestly, I just want to see McD rise to the challenge of coaching a more creative defensive gameplan in the playoffs. Mahomes should not have been allowed to run that sweep right with impunity all game with Rousseau crashing down every time because that's what the system tells him to do. We've seen the growth mindset with the offense, now show it with the defense. Adjust not just to win the regular season but to intellectually and creatively compete with the best coaching minds in the playoffs. -

Great article discussing restrained strength by Trump and Netanyahu: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/how-the-west-got-the-israel-iran-war-so-wrong/ar-AA1HKxB7?cvid=736b41af24c9486c8595b5596289c88c&ocid=hpmsn "In the early days of this overt round of the ongoing Israel-Iran combat, pundits and prognosticators lined up with remarkable confidence to deliver their verdicts: the Middle East was on the brink of a full-blown regional war. From CNN panels to X threads, from Instagram reels to endless political press briefings, the narrative seemed set in stone."....... "Yet here we stand, 12 days later. No Arab nation has joined the fray. The Strait of Hormuz remains open. No ground invasion of Iran has occurred. The oil markets remain remarkably steady. Tehran has neither launched a regional war nor exacted the cataclysmic reprisals so confidently predicted." "This is the paradox many in the West struggle to accept: restrained power can be more humane than endless diplomacy. Especially when that diplomacy serves only to delay the inevitable, embolden aggressors and paralyse allies. So let us say it clearly: what Netanyahu and Trump achieved in these 12 days was not a miracle. It was leadership. It was clarity. It was Churchillian – not in theatrics but in knowing when to act, and when not to. And in doing so, they rewrote the forecasts. No mass war. No Arab uprising. No oil collapse. Israel no longer threatened with elimination by its most powerful nemesis." Full credit to Trump and the Israelis on this one, and thanks for showing some old fashioned leadership against bullies. Now if Trump could realize this approach to Putin... -

The biggest problem potentially emerging with Stefanski may be his inability to develop and sustain a talented QB. We'll see how this year plays out. McDermott can easily pass him if he can just take this team and defense to the next level. -

They started 5 QB's in 2023, just Baker in 2020. Really he made the playoffs with 6 different QB's. 2020 really stood out the most, fresh off the Hue Jackson 3-36-1, 1/2 season Greggo then the lost year of human buffoon Freddie Kitchens. Beating down Pittsburgh then giving KC a handful. That was an impressive turnaround. -
If he is convicted of a felony, bye-bye withholding status. It is amazing though, the amount of vitriol and vindictiveness this administration is displaying toward a man who is due his day in court. Sad they can't just shut up and let the system work first. Guilty until proven innocent. Yay Trump! This should be interesting as he was pulled over there in TN with like 7 undocumented men in the vehicle. No charges were brought. Not sure how that's ballooned to thousands now. MAGA fake news. His wife brought domestic violence charges against him a few years ago but withdrew them after they went to counseling and worked things out, she said. But something about this guy most definitely doesn't add up. His brother has been a citizen for many years, Garcia is married to a citizen and yet he never bothered to get a green card. His brother has also remained silent throughout this. This case is good for demonstrating this administration's hostility and personal vindictiveness/lack of respect for the legal system but Garcia is not a guy you want to hang your hat on as a poster child.

Sorry I'm a bit late seeing this comment, I was wondering what you've seen and how you know this about him hating and it being his call? -
Your opinion is steeped in ignorance. The situation conforms to the law, it's just that there's more legal options than you would prefer. Here's another example: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/iranian-woman-who-has-lived-in-us-for-47-years-taken-by-ice-while-gardening/ar-AA1Hxggc?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=e3a0033ecfa94b92ab824d48d80a4079&ei=26 Way to go ICEholes! Take the easy way to filling that quota rather than work harder to find and kick out the criminal immigrants who truly need to go.

It's also a grey area of the law utilized in complicated situations such as this. He was given a second chance 14 years ago if he met the conditions to check in every year and live a clean life, to be allowed to stay in the country. He made the right choices and ICE honored the agreement until this administration's ICE decided they needed to fill their quota and could point to his past. Well within their rights but that doesn't make it the correct decision. I definitely commend ICE for going after too many violent criminals the dumb ass Biden administration let in. This is not one of them and is just one example of ICE filling quotas so the administration can brag how many criminals they removed. How about they focus on the people that truly need removed even if it means lower numbers deported? You forgot: 3) finding a grey area that the judges, ICE and person can agree on. That's where we were with the former green card veteran who has lived here since 7 years old, made some mistakes and got his life straightened back out. Then our new administration's leadership changed the playing field Let's hope so, and I do hope they will. I also hope ICE will narrow their focus to the immigrant criminals everyone would like to see removed instead of removing productive members of society just because they have an excuse to do so. There can be humanity in administering the laws and I think most Americans would want to be in that space.

?? There's no visa status since he moved to this country at 7 years old. He was a former green card holder who made mistakes after his serving his country, served his time, lost his card in 2009 after crimes and a prison term, but was given deferred action status if he stayed clean and sober and checked in every year which he was doing for 14 years. A family to look after, and by all accounts recently ICE simply decided to end his deferred status and gave him the option to self deport before they kicked him out. Gotta meet that Trump quota for kicking criminals out. Traffic tickets, crimes no matter how long ago and even after fully prosecuted/resolved it doesn't matter. All ICE could do was cite his criminal past and ignore the fact that he's lived a clean life since then as they required him to do to maintain deferred status. Worked a job, paid his taxes, raised a family. Who's ultimately responsible for the situation? He is and he knows it. He blames no one, but was shocked yet resigned that he must go back to Korea and probably not be allowed to come back and visit his family again. Classy and an optimist who is grateful for the privileges he has enjoyed in his life here. But if you or anyone doesn't have the conscience to realize this is wrong and not what this country is about, that's on you. This NPR article does a better job of quoting his story then the rest: https://www.npr.org/2025/06/24/g-s1-74036/trump-ice-self-deportation-army-veteran-hawaii?utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews&utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=facebook.com

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/06/24/us-army-purple-heart-veteran-forced-self-deport-hawaii/ After 48 years in the United States, decorated Army veteran Sae Joon Park left his life and family in Hawaii on Monday, not knowing when he’ll see them again.... Park was honorably discharged and returned to his then-home in Los Angeles, where he suffered from severe PTSD. He turned to marijuana to cope with nightmares and sensitivity to loud noises and moved to Hawaii in 1995 for a better lifestyle. But he became addicted to crack cocaine and struggled for years to get clean. “Drugs had a big control throughout my life and that’s what eventually got me into trouble with the law and everything,” he said. In 2009, he was convicted for drug and bail offenses and served two and a half years in prison. When he was released, ICE agents detained him and revoked his green card. He fought deportation in court and as a Purple Heart veteran was allowed to stay in the U.S. under deferred action, as long as he checked in each year and stayed clean and sober. “These last 14 years have been great, like really proud of myself, proud of my kids, how I’ve been acting and how I’ve been living my life,” he said. But this month, officials ended his deferred action status and told him he had to leave the country or be detained and forcibly deported. He was given an ankle monitor and three weeks to handle his affairs. He and his family were in shock. “People were saying ‘You took two bullets for this country. Like you’re more American than most of the Americans living in America,’” he said. Way to go ICEholes.
