    Helldivers 2

    Kirk's killer from what we know, avid gun enthusiast, family upbringing, it bends more right so far in my humble opinion.

    Well, except for the fact that he murdered a public voice that espoused conservative values. Please square this for me?

    I mean, I think women should have the right to do what they want with their body? The right to life movement is not on moral grounds, it's on religious grounds. We are supposed to have clear separation of church and state.  So now we are seeing rights taken away for religious reasons right? 

    When does life begin?

    Thank you for being a voice of reason.

     

    There are exactly four teams we should "worry"  about.

     

    KC, BAL, Philly and Cincinnati.

     

    That leaves 27 teams that, in general, can kiss our ass any given Sunday. The Jets are one of them.

     

    Can they win? Sure. Should they win? No.

    Most importantly, I appreciate this post and generally agree, on paper.

     

    But, I'm a believer of "any given sunday" and therefore I'm rolling with "one game at a time".

    I acknowledge your perspective. But from my perspective Trump's agenda is restoring civil and social order in the U.S. Its the liberal establishment that has caused disarray and chaos. They care about 3 things. Trans rights, supporting illegal immigrants, coddling criminals. What else do they stand for? As for Trump I'm no fan but the alternative is worse.  

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The thing is, you can't simply point to Trump and his failings. You have to bring a better alternative, and the left hasn't done that for over a decade.

    There's no place that is bereft of all crime. But if there is such a spate of crime in Chicago that would warrant a heavy handed federal and military deployment, shouldn't those resources be focused on the areas with the highest crime?

     

    If the presence of soldiers deters crime, wouldn't you want them stationed in the places where crime is most likely to occur?

     

    Here are the 12 month totals of homicides and homicide rates of some Chicago neighborhoods:

    • Washington Park: 12 homicides (Rate of 92.3 out of 100k people)
    • West Garfield Park: 15 homicides (88.2)
    • East Garfield Park: 15 (75)
    • Greater Grand Crossing: 23 (74.2)
    • North Lawndale: 24 (68.6)
    • West Pullman: 15 (57.7)
    • Riverdale: 4 (57.1)
    • Englewood: 13 (54.2)
    • Humboldt Park: 19 (35.2)
    • Near West Side: 19 (27.9)
    • Near North Side: 13 (12.4)
    • Near South Side: 3 (10.3)
    • Lower West Side: 3 (8.8)
    • The Loop: 2 (4.8)
    • Lincoln Park: 2 (2.9)
    • Lakeview: 1 (1)

    If you were to organize the deployment of these resources, how would you deploy them based on these homicide rates?

     

    If you see a bunch of Feds standing around the Bean in broad daylight, that might tell you something about the real intent here.

    Possibly. I could also argue that a focus might be the safety of those out shopping, dining, etc.

     

    Obviously the areas with the heaviest gang on gang crime would have the highest crime. Not diminishing the concern in those areas, but the focus might be to protect the safety of the tourist and high traffic areas.

    A good way to evaluate whether or not the whole National Guard thing is actually about crime is to see if they focus their deployment on neighborhoods like Lawndale, Garfield Park, and Englewood. 
     

    If instead, they deploy to places like the Loop, River North, or Old Town, it’s because the real purpose is a show of force against perceived enemies, not combating crime. 
    Which option do we think they will choose? 


    Are you ok? You might want to go touch some grass buddy. You seem to have an unhealthy relationship with this site. 

    I've experienced gang activity in the Loop, River North and Old Town, especially late at night.

    Okay, so if it was bad when Obama did it, it then follows it’s bad Trump is doing it?

    I don't think I said it was "bad", but rather "par". And maybe most importantly, not "new"

    Who said it was bad? Hopefully trumps aim is a bit better.

    but but but the innocent people on this boat

    Killing innocent people at random is bad, actually 

    I generally agree. Do you think someone on this boat was innocent?

    They’re certainly a problem. Do you support the President of Peace invading other nations to stop them?

    This is hardly new.

     

    How many people did Obama dronestrike? According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a total of 563 strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen, killing between 2,581 and 4,013 people, including 384 to 807 civilians. The Council on Foreign Relations reports 542 drone strikes, with an estimated 3,797 total deaths, including 324 civilians. The Obama administration's official figures, released in 2016, claim 473 strikes in non-war zones killed between 2,372 and 2,581 combatants and 64 to 116 civilians, though these numbers are criticized as undercounts by human rights groups.

    Let me see if I have this right.  Since Biden, the worst president in the history of America, everybody says so, the demented guy who didn't know what day it was didn't release the Epstien files.  So now its okay for President Trump who claimed at least to be draining the swamp is ok to do the same?  Who's the bigger man on the issue.  Neither one evidently.

     

    President Biden never moved sexual predator Maxwell to a minimum security work release prison after her talking to his attorneys.  Does this bother you at all?  Even just a little?

     

    Drain the swamp. Release the info and let the chips fall where they may.

     

    And come on man, the democrats didn't want to release it cuz many democrats and big time democrat donors are on the list too.  It's not complicated.

     

     

    I have no hypocrisy on the Epstein files. I wanted them released 15 yrs ago. The reasons for not releasing them must be bad, really bad (or is it good, really good?).

    Josh had the benefit of 3 TOs and 3 short fields to work with.  Your defense was good enough to get you the 2 seed in the playoffs.  Lamar played with out his #1 wr and his #2 wr didnt play in the 4th qtr.  He really did that with a literal practice squad call up as his #1 wr.  

    Not butt hurt at all its all a part of the process 

    Then the Ravens need to do better this year. Quit making stupid choices.
