I wanted to be sure I understood what you meant by soft power- and I will ask directly, do you believe Biden projected soft power to anyone?

What is "soft power"? You need to keep reminding yourself who was president the past 4 years, Biden was harmless to the enemies and feeble with our allies.

I am putting my personal disclaimer on this this thread- this year the officials absolutely screwed us and we're completely incompetent but the past 4 years prior we lost games by our own accord. I think we have lost about one game a season because of terrible officials since Josh got good but this was the first time the officials were the primary problem

I was talking with my college age son today for first time since game and he is just really getting into football and stated the game was boring because you did not know what was happening with the officials. His friends who have no allegiance to the Bills turned it off in the main room when they gave KC the ball on the 4th down because they felt the officials were on the take. They will not be watching the SB either.

The 1619 project admitted it was not history, or factual, but a narrative. At that point it is creative writing and should be treated as such. Unfortunately those who most need the help in history are the least likely to get it

This is awesome, how you got that from what I wrote only proves you are illiterate. Just because you are fun I will ask how am I DEI?

My wife had to deal with this in 2010 when the salaries were frozen for 4 years due to the recession. I was not a teacher at the time but it did effect me. Part of the teacher problem was the union leader was crook who used all the money to enrich his friends instead of fighting for better pay. It took years to get rid of all of them because the idiots that are teacher loved them for fighting "the man". It truly is a pretty good analogy and in the end it made my transition to teaching in 2013 easier because so many teachers were leaving because the union was worthless. https://www.wesh.com/article/orange-county-teachers-union-president-board-of-directors-let-go/4443971

You seem to think the purpose of Trump is to make the best deal for the socialist party of Canada. Trump has a job to make the best deal for Americans first, not to worry about the damage that Trudeau has done to his country. Truly the best thing Trump can do is show Canada that their leader is a feckless loser

Renegotiations means you start over if one side does not agree to maintain the previous agreement. I get you guys don't like the tariffs but to pretend he is violating the treaty when it has a renegotiation window is dumb. If you had a contract and could renegotiate would you not try and get the most money you could?

He put in a 6 year renegotiation into the first deal, he is renegotiating as the deal states. Harris said she would renegotiate if she won also

Not being sarcastic but Stephon Gilmore was flag magnet for us and then he switched teams the flags stopped. Sometimes officials just see what they expect to see for a team.

First question- the grinding dumb ones sometimes outperform the gifted on the final. I currently have a gifted kid who has 45 absences in the first 100 days, all his intellect won't matter if he can't understand the question. As for second part- your belief that the federal government was doing almost anything effectively is where we disagree. I accept a certain amount of hatred from foreigners, especially ones that were profiting off of the dysfunction. Which treaty do you want to discuss in regards to Trump?

Military strikes in Somalia like Obama? Treaties that we uphold but not the other side? Got it.

we agree 80% and I feel that is enough. I will tell you that amongst my students those who work hard and are above average intelligence outperform the lazy gifted kids always.

So I am right and 4th is wrong. I agree with what you say here, but will expand a little further. High level parents don't let their children around low level kids if they can help it. High level parents sacrifice time and money to ensure their kids have the right example and surroundings. The only thing that 4th is correct about is that effort almost always outweighs talent, but talent plus effort will win.

Pax Americana is dead because of Biden, not Trump. Trump has zero wars and Biden could not stop the 3 that happened.

So you think 4th and long is 100% wrong, cool. Your 4th grade insult actually proves my point while showing how immature you are, quite the two for one.

This is true, he made Eric Bienemy a hot head coaching pick for several years and he is not a good coach

I know this is not NFL but this is actually worse than happened to us, which I think is impossible to achieve without it being intentional. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/43661228/heerenveen-robin-van-persie-rails-unthinkable-referee-error

Do you think solar and wind are cheaper? Are you actually this stupid? Whatever government office you work for has to know that neither of those is cheap.

Our offense is fine, even our bad games in the playoffs we scored 27 points. The defense needs one big fatty in the middle like Dexter Lawrence. Jones is passed his prime and not that effective anymore, if we had that our defense would be elite. We could also improve our Safeties but a great D Tackle stops all receivers.

You are talking about innate abilities, and your belief in tabula rasa has been debated and basically proven wrong by any serious look. Mental abilities and physical abilities are the same in that you must be born with certain abilities. Let me ask a straight forward question: do you think a person with an IQ of 90 could handle the workload of a CEO of a fortune 500 company?

I teach basic geometry, but even my topic is too difficult for some. Your belief, extended to its logical conclusion, is that anyone can dunk a basketball if they worked hard enough, which obviously is untrue and only the mentally stunted would make such a claim. You are similarly as stunted

Your sarcasm aside your belief is very damaging to our society in general and education specifically. Your inability to understand the fact that some people are not capable of grasping the complexity of being a surgeon, or a doctor, or even an ATC is why your beliefs lead to unnecessary deaths and problems. Why do you believe something so illogical when we live in a world were 40% of college grads can't be made to understand how a simple loan works?

I am actually curious if you believe this?
