SCBills

Not sure I agree, as I think the depth of this WR room makes it better than one would believe without a true #1, maybe not even a true #2… but Curtis Samuel and Elijah Moore as your 4/5 is pretty deep. That said.. it’s currently not a room that scares anyone without Josh Allen at QB but this room is better than last years room. Not sure if that’s good or if it’s just sad.

Based on everything I’ve heard from people speculating on what Rousseau has been and analytics show can be, especially on an improved line, I doubt he makes it this year .. but I think he does next year. Im expecting a “breakout” year, in terms of national attention, for Rousseau this year. His analytics numbers show he’s much better than he gets credit for.. mainly due to low sack numbers and playing on a meh DL where he asked to do alot of dirty work.

I’ve seen a few sites listing the Bills as a Top 5 DL entering this year. Thats obviously very dependent upon Sanders, Jackson and Bosa as guys who could potentially join Oliver & Rousseau as high end DL players but the depth, especially once Hoecht & Ogunjobi come off suspension, is Eagles like from last year. They added better CB depth and drafted a RD1 Corner… Safety and Linebacker, mostly the same, but entering training camp healthy. On Offense they were elite on the OL, elite at QB, above average at RB, awaiting Kincaid making a jump to see a similar above average group at TE and then improved at WR. The article referenced seems strange when the Defense has been overhauled to the point we may see 5 new DL heavy in the rotation, a new CB2 and, for all intention.. a new Safety. Aside from going out and getting a player like Garrett or Crosby.. who were never actually available .. the Bills probably did as much as possible to improve the floor and ceiling of a team that made the AFCCG without mortgaging the future to a ridiculous extent.

All homerism aside.. Allen, Dawkins and Brown should be stone cold locks for the Top 100. Not sure how accurately this list represents OL (clearly not well at all) so I don’t know for sure that Dion makes it. Brown is pretty close to elite, if not there already, with greats like Lane Johnson hyping him.. but I don’t know he has the name recognition yet to make this list. Benford and Cook are guys who I was 50/50 on, but Cook made it and obviously has name recognition. Benford’s play warrants it but not sure about name recognition. Allen should be #1 overall but Lamar might get it due to his regular season prowess on a team typically more stacked than what Allen has had.

The absolute state of the Democrat Party in 2025 In fairness, they can get the SSRI youth crowd with useless degrees to come out if they promise they can chant some form of “Death to Israel”

Fwiw.. if we could figure out how to not have them impact the census and influx of federal taxpayer dollars.. I’d be completely fine if states like New York and California want to be sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. Maybe we need to see this on a large scale in certain states, without federal intervention. If it works, I’ll eat my words. What I imagine would happen is urban black folks, legal latinos and rural white folks, after their towns become saturated, will turn on their elected leaders and those with the means to, will do what we’ve been seeing… fleeing for red states.

And then send the bulk of their expendable income back to their families in a different country. So we don’t even get much of an economic benefit, aside from cheap labor which is a double-edged sword.

Trump has 100% lowered my costs. I own a business and this bill is huge for business-owners, specifically in terms of tax cuts and deductions. Also, I drive a lot and gas prices are down. His hand in that, not entirely sure, but gas prices are - in fact - down. Nope, he’s not lowering the deficit. Never thought he would. No President, aside from a Thomas Massie or Rand Paul would do that. We know nothing about how this cuts healthcare beyond those who are able-bodied yet refused to work, go to school or volunteer .. all options, at low requirements, to keep your benefits.

A lot of concern about hypothetical health insurance rates from those who revere Barack Obama as one of the greats.

This is definitely not the line of attack to use. Both sides try it when out of power and both sides soon realize nobody cares. Americans either are incapable and/or don’t want to understand the ramifications of a growing national debt and anytime someone tries to do something about it, we hear sob stories about entitlements being taken away and it becomes short term political suicide.

Mass Deportations are necessary, but nothing id celebrate. Alligator Alcatraz cheer meme’ing is gross. This still needs to happen. You speak about job site raids.. interesting.. do you support remittance taxing? Because yea, they work hard.. they also send most of their money back home while using our services.

Re: ICE, and why is it a good thing. What don’t you understand about the majority of us who voted for Trump, doing so, with the explicit hope that he would pendulum swing on illegal immigration from the last 4 years. Do you have any idea how important of an issue the Biden Administration has made this for so many of us who previously, never really focused much on this topic? It was so over the top, so brazen, such a betrayal to American citizens that we celebrate efforts to take this country back from those who come here to commit crimes and leech off a system we pay into with every paycheck. From politicians who welcome them to cook census numbers to protect themselves against their own political failures. Its not perfect, we already discussed this, but no large scale effort is.. and this one, for the future of America, and American ideals, is one that’s worth it.

I won’t dismiss this entirely, but Safety is the main driver of what I listed. Even Atlanta, a blue city, is incredibly pro-police. Ever since the BLM riots, this city has poured money into policing, both in Midtown and in Buckhead - who threatened to secede from Atlanta and form its own municipality if pro-police reforms weren’t enacted. Brian Kemp and Democrat leaders, together, have worked to make Atlanta a safe area to raise a family. There are areas that aren’t great.. but that’s kind of how it goes down south. The R/D leadership alike protect those who want to be protected and in the small number of areas that reject policing .. they make sure it doesn’t spread into areas that welcome it.

From my experience, owning a business that deals with a lot of transplants to NC, SC and GA.. this is the case. Relatively cheaper housing, as opposed to NY/NJ, is usually a pleasant addition to their move, but it’s primarily due to: -Politics -Safety -Better place to start a family -Weather -Culture

Who is we? Because you don’t seem to have any issue with brown people coming over and doing these jobs. Should I understand your post correctly as to mean “white people” should strive for better jobs? I mean, that’s the true position of elitist libs, but just asking for you to clarify.

Hes criticized Trump plenty. Not everyone on Fox is a Hannity style sycophant.

Guy Benson is typically pretty clear eyed in his takes. Good post.

I spend a good bit of time in Greenville, SC. When I last had an apartment downtown, it was a 2 bedroom/2 bath at 3kish per month. Sure, it’s not Upper East Side rent, but $36k per year requires you to be making good money.. especially when salaries in the south are typically lower, in relation, to Manhattan. Affordable is relative.. but there’s this thought amongst northern liberals that souther states are growing so rapidly because we’re paying $1500 per month rent in cities down here. That’s not happening unless you want a one bedroom in the suburbs.

People aren’t fleeing Atlanta. It’s expensive in Buckhead and Midtown. Blue city in a red state seem to do fine. People aren’t fleeing Dallas. People aren’t fleeing Nashville. People aren’t fleeing Miami. People aren’t fleeing Charlotte and Raleigh. Mid-size South Carolina cities like Greenville and Charleston are exploding. A downtown 2 bedroom apartment in Greenville, SC and Charleston, SC is between $2,800-$3,600 per month.

Why is everyone leaving California? Why did San Francisco have recalls? Why are Chicagoans warning New Yorkers about Mamdami? Why did NYC struggle with being a sanctuary state so much when Southern states started bussing migrants up north? Do you believe Ilhan Omar style politics are good for this country? These are all cracks beginning to show, in part, due to migration and lack of assimilation of people who do not hold American values. Warped higher education, along two generations struggling to hold stake in a capitalist society, being the other. Illegal immigration is not the entire issue, but it’s the accelerant. And you’re seeing the results blue city in blue state by blue city in blue state. The evidence is right in front of you as people flee these states for more traditional Americana in Texas, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida.

Do you think illegal immigrants should have taxpayer funded healthcare benefits and we should have no work requirements for able-bodied Americans who leech off the system? Of course hospitals have an ethical duty to treat anyone, for any reason, regardless of economic or national status, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

I don’t defend every single deportation. I wish there were a better way, but this is where we are. The stories you linked sound incredibly murky and not, at all, along the lines of “ICE is deporting American Citizens”… typically every-time a story like this arises, (as seems to be the case in your link) it’s due to the children going with their illegal parents in the deportation process. There are two choices. Destroy our country by opening it up to criminals and welfare recipients in order to feel morally superior when it comes to a small number of individual cases that we might wish could be handled differently OR acknowledge it’s not perfect but America needs an identity and borders, while having a main priority of protecting and helping its own citizens. You clearly prefer the first option. But there’s nothing morally superior when inner cities have social services, schools and hospitals overrun, while taxpayers field the burden and unnecessary murders, rapes, drunk driving accidents and drug overdoses plague this country so you can feel better about yourself.

I do, because I’m not a hyperventilating crazy person.

Democrats stop viewing every Mexican as illegal challenge, impossible.
