Correct, I REALLY don't like Trump, but blaming him on this shouldn't be in the cards. Heck, blaming Biden shouldn't be either. It doesn't matter if you used diplomacy or aggression, Iran was never going to stop pursuing a bomb. Whatever they agreed with they will not honor. They can't be trusted and Netanyahu knows it.

Bet we see all time highs by next week heading into FOMC

Alright, you have one worthy x post now. We need to sign that dude.

Iran's people live under a regime that commits unspeakable atrocities. A large part of Iranian people love the US and many come here and live in Southern California area (LEGALLY) I don't think I have met any short of an MBA. Very intelligent, hard working, friendly people. They just want to be able visit home at some point without fear of retribution for coming here. Obviously Iran is neighbors with Israel and Iranl has been threatening nuclear action for a long time. Trump has shown a strong focus on trying to negotiate with Iran and I think that scares Israel as they ultimately don't trust Iran's regime to ever hold up to an agreement. Israel would rather handle this with military intervention and remove the regime as that is really the only way to long term peace. That is also what the majority of the Iranian people want. But we will see further talks between the US and Iran Sunday, so it's just an interesting and complicated situation. I think Trump really wants to cut a deal as conflict in that region isn't what he wants to see. Israel doesn't want him to cut a deal because if he does they likely won't have the freedom to use force as we saw today. But Israel also can't stand in the way of a deal or sabotage it with it's relationship with the US. Most of these views are from a few Iranians I spoke with today regarding the bombing with family in Iran. So I trust these view points.

I hope it turns out that way. I'm not thrilled over his frame. Obviously DB's don't have to be meat heads, just toothpick legs and small frame as a whole is what concerns me.

1. You put up a couple posts of crime on Twitter, yet no evidence exists that Americans aren't murdering, raping, and robbing at higher rates than the illegals are 2. You doubled down on never being directly impacted 3. Pretty sure your behavior crosses into an addiction, not so sure you can casually go without reposting content, still haven't heard you ever mention why you do it after asking multiple times 4. Cool? 5. Because something happens, doesn't make it what is happening. You and others here have a real tendency of citing singular examples as evidence something is happening. As I said, sharks HAVE bitten people, but I don't think I should be worried about sharks.

It's always insults, bad sentences, and things that can't be proven. Oddly enough, usually in that order.

I don't think people can "hide" a murder charge in the state of Texas. Nor do I think Texas is exactly friendly towards illegals. Yet the Homicide rates for illegals are 26% lower than US born citizens and 61% lower for legal non US born citizens. This isn't a hard exercise. The US has highest murder rate of any G7 country the last 3 years. People who aren't born here don't have the affinity for violence the natives do. Go figure. https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/illegal-immigrant-murderers-texas-2013-2022

I didn't start down the path of talking about my tax liabilities did I? The only insult I ever pointed your way is about your addiction to posting.

The irony of a guy that has the time to repost political X content on a NFL message board 40 times a day saying somebody else doesn't pay taxes. You're either retired, on disability, or unemployed. Regardless of the answer, your welcome.

I expect they will commit crimes at same rate as the national average, yet they don't, it's much lower. The article applies to illegals and it also talks about the legal foreign born citizens. As I have said, the US needs to find a path. What Biden did was wrong, but we will be deploying our military on US citizens as a result of this topic. It has become probably the number one marching order of the right. Once complete, by all means, tell me how your life will be better? The #1 agenda of a political party should offer an improvement on normal peoples everyday life shouldn't it? Is that what we are seeing?

I don't call them illegal alien foreign invaders because that's not what I call them. You can call them whatever you want. I take it from your response they haven't directly impacted you either? I can also post a story about a shark attack or a plane crash. Should we no longer swim in the ocean or fly? It's statistically proven immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than US born citiczens. https://www.nber.org/papers/w31440 I'm not debating they should be here. I'm laughing at you over your outrage for something that you will never feel.

In fairness, the overwhelming majority are not violent. I certainly think we need clear laws in place and clear enforcement in place. My brother has been with ICE for almost 20 years so we talk about this stuff a lot. But at the end of the day no immigrant has ever directly impacted me. If 100% of them were deported tomorrow absolutely zero things in my life would change. I wouldn't even be aware it happened. We can talk about how they don't pay into taxes, how my tax money pays for them in many instances, how they access our health care and education and all that stuff but still, never directly felt one thing. I severely doubt many here have and if so I would love to hear how that occurred. My tax money has been wasted on so much crap that will never be real to me I hardly can point to them and say, now that is it. That is the straw that just broke the camels back. That Mexican guy who doesn't speak English and wants to work on a farm for $6 an hour. Hell, he's probably contributing to a cheaper avocado and I eat a lot of those. So maybe it's a break even.

This series is taking me back to the early 90’s enjoyment of the game. Indiana is a lot of fun, play as a team, underdog role, small market.

Be careful, who is posting things nobody pays attention to when you’re gone?

If you weren’t being antagonistic then you have my apologies. It wouldn’t shock me if a group of some kind took advantage of the circumstances after it was under way. Both sides have some crazies and the US isn’t short on enemies. I don’t think it was initially coordinated in what we saw and that was primarily what my reaction was based on. My intentions also weren’t to lecture you. I’m stunned how different SoCal is to anywhere else I have been. It’s not liberals or even the weather, it’s the mix of people here.

Your excitement to throw points on the board based on a conservative politician doing conservative politician things outside the context of what we even discussed is not overly exciting to engage with. But I'm sure you will layer on multiple responses here. Most likely unanswered, unless I get some free time. Have at it.

On my Birthday I’m going to honor those that sacrificed by doing things that give me attention. But it will be about them. Not me. Even though it’s my birthday. It’s not about me. I promise. Go troops!

Sure I am, let me know at the end of the year how my form was

You might get the opportunity to be right or it might be nothing. Be sure it let us know.

He's going to have injury issues. He was hurt at Kentucky his senior year. Very small frame, said to be a fairly physical tackler. I just don't see the durability here. Time will tell.

Sort of like bringing manufacturing back to the US and paying 3x what robots can do

No I have never saw the left use government to reduce the rights of minorities, females, white men, or any other group based on age, sex, or color. None of the examples you gave or your perceived injustices fall into those categories. Cancel culture is not the same thing as telling a women what she must do with her unborn child or redistricting areas and voter law to make it harder for poor and minorities to vote. Limiting gay rights, etc. These things are not the same as calling you a Putin lover. The fact that you don’t see that distinction is, fascinating. But not really.

I was very harsh in that response and I'm sorry about that. I have a lot of good friends who are religious, most my family is, most people I know are. I don't care that they pick that path and never disparage it as it's very personal to them. To answer your question of course it is needed but morality comes from a lot of places. If you require religion to provide it or think that is the only path to it I think that is a mistake (not saying you feel this way). I have met completely immoral people who believe in god or say they do (without showing any indication that is the case). Who use religion to manipulate or pursue self fulfilling agendas (sound like anybody we know?). I see very limited connectivity between somebody who is moral and somebody who says they're religious. Some are, some aren't. I generally accept all of them. Even the immoral ones as who am I to judge how they arrive at such a place. You can only hope they improve as people. All of this aligns more with the left even if I don't fully identify with them. I never saw the left as trying to limit who people were or minimize others. They try and impose the acceptance of people on the fringe of society and the right doesn't want that. Religion often tells them not to or at least the interpretation they have of it does. Which I often think is just a justifiable way to be a bigoted.

Do you think I care what religion is imposing it's views onto people or that Christianity aligns in its bigotry with other religions bigotry? I don't attempt to keep up with what ridiculous concepts people follow as a result of them feeling hopeless, needing morality, needing purpose, or just needing to know what happens when the lights go out. It's all the same level of BS to me regardless of who it is. I care when ANY religion imposes it's views onto society in the form of laws. As we have seen with concepts like abortion. Just as I'm sure you care a great deal when other people impose things onto you that your book says is wrong like homosexuality.
