    Von Miller faces felony arrest in Buffalo

     

    Breaking news this morning that Buffalo Bills EDGE rusher Von Miller is facing felony arrest after being accused of straight up robbing the Buffalo Bills of more than $17 million dollars this season. Several sources confirm that Miller, 34 plans to continue his theft of team funds for the foreseeable future. We reached out to Miller's representatives however they did not immediately respond. More on this story as it develops. 

    Cute, but the untold side of the story is Brandon being convinced to buy magic beans. (No pun intended...)

    Nah. I know it’s a bad joke but he didn’t do that. Might be your cute little way of saying Bibi didn’t fund Hamas. Which he did. But sheep will sheep. 

    No one is denying (at least not in this forum that I've seen) that Is real was at least a participant in getting funding to Hamas to keep things at a status quo.

     

    My joke was more about some of your other ill-informed, antisemitic whacko conspiracy nonsense.

    splain.  i wouldn't dare misinterpret.

    Assuming you don't know that Ismail Haniyeh is the leader of Hamas 

     

    The implication being that she was plagiarizing him/parroting his ideas when refusing to condemn antisemitism outright when delivering her testimony before Congress.

     

    I'm funny because she's a racist and and academic fraud.

     

    Of course, you may be as well which could be why the joke was lost on you. ;)

    Nonsense.

    The Israelis are not firing missiles at non combatants from non belligerent nations, nor firing cruise missiles at Yemen, but those actions may be forthcoming, hopefully.

    The Houthis are not capable of cutting off ships going to to Israel if that attempted action is confronted.

    The Houthis are committing an act of war that has been confronted many times over the years, which is disrupting shipping in international waters.

    There is no Israeli quid pro quo to this.

    It needs to be dealt with immediately. 

    You're wasting your keystrokes.

     

    He'll probably retort with something about BIbi secretly funding the Houthi rebels.

    Agree on the size. I heard great things about Wing Nutz…very disappointing. They were like turkey legs and the sauce didn’t penetrate the wing. Bigger isn’t always better as long as their high quality. 

    I've tried Wingnutz twice. 

     

    First time was at their location on the boulevard and I loved them.

     

    2nd time a group of us went to the brewery they operate in, and they were kinda terrible. Not sure I could articulate exactly why, but one thing that stood out was how they were served; a flat tray which caused the grease to pool around them. Unappetizing to say the least.

    This Houthi thing.

     

    While cooperating nations have announced joint support in protecting Red Sea-Bab el Mandeb Strait-Gulf of Aden shipping, I'm afraid we need to go a step further.  This silly named operation "Prosperity Guardian" is an ill conceived plan that begs for more aggression from Iranian proxies.

     

    The concept is to provide an umbrella coverage of commercial shipping in those international waters. Already, commercial shippers have re-routed ships around Africa to avoid this, and are bearing 3x insurance costs. Long term the additional 3-4 weeks to sail these unplanned distances will obliterate shipping schedules and result in supply chain issues.

     

    Militarily, the strategy makes no sense.

    This past weekend, if sources are to be believed, the US Navy destroyed 14 Iranian drones launched from Yemen. The cost of those drones is about $20k/per. The cost of the missiles used to destroy them is about $2.5 million per.

     

    The proper choice is obvious, and goes back to the age old military strategy of "shoot the Indian, not the arrow."

    (cultural sensitivities acknowledged).

     

    The point is that with the carrier Eisenhower repositioned much closer to, or in, the Gulf of Aden, it is time to use the US Navy to do what it is in existence for, which is to protect shipping.

     

    If the US has the intel to determine where these drones/cruise/ballistic missiles are being launched from in Yemen, it is time to go ashore and demolish those sites.

    I am not a fan of this administration at all, but another weekend of wasting US taxpayer's money is not justified.

    Time to go "feet dry," as we used to say. 

    It's probably a matter of optics and not giving the impression of widening the conflict. 

     

    Not sure I agree with that approach but I understand the motivation to hang back (assuming my take is correct).

     

    I'd be shocked if we didn't know the exact location of every launch site. I'm with you in that I'd prefer we put that Intel to good use.

    Is Diggs done?

    I realize that Diggs did literally say "It's not (because of) me."

     

    But when listening to the press conference and gathering the full context of what he was talking about, to me it sounded like what he meant was "My lack of production in recent games is not for lack of effort on my part - it's because defenses are doing a good job".

     

    "(Opposing defenses) have been doing a good job. For me personally, I've been trying, bro. I promise you, I've been trying. It's not because of me, you know what I'm saying? Teams are doing a good job. We've just got to continue to make plays and I guess spread the ball around. We've been winning so far. You know, in a perfect world I want the ball. I want to have success. But at the end of the day, if we're winning games that's what I got to tip my hat to. But I'm still chasing greatness each and every day. It's not because I don't want it. I promise you that. I want to still continue to play at a high level. But I've got to play within the scheme and 'be me with us'. We've got a slogan - or some words to live by, 'Be you with us'. I'm going to still be me. I'm not going to stop. But hopefully we get some things rolling."

     

    If you focus solely on the statement "It's not because of me" by itself and ignore the rest of everything he says around those five words, you would think that he's putting blame elsewhere and not holding himself accountable. But again, if you listen to the full conversation that he's having with the media and have a better understanding of the context around "It's not because of me" you realize that he's talking about his effort and dedication and giving credit to opposing defenses. That's it.

     

    I like Tim Graham but what he did was total BS.

    Half agree.

     

    It's BS, but I don't care for TG. ;)

    Last night, the news was reporting that the women and children in Gaza have by far suffered the most injuries and death from the actions of Israel. No one asks the question of why that might be. Why the discrepancy compared to men? 
     

    So either Hamas psychos are surrounding themselves with women and children to maximize their casualties and/or most of the men are underground in the tunnels. 

    Or it's basic statistics.

     

    Given any population of people, "women and children" make up about 65-75%. 

     

    As a group, they'll account for the most of just about anything from tooth decay to civilian casualties.

     

    Hell, reduce it just to "women" and you'll still have a majority.
