you all must have missed this part (from NBC news):
WASHINGTON — The Energy Department concluded with "low confidence" that the Covid-19 pandemic "likely" originated from a laboratory leak in Wuhan, China, according to a classified report delivered to key lawmakers on the House and Senate Intelligence committees, two sources with direct knowledge told NBC News.
Key lawmakers on the intelligence committees were briefed last month by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence about the classified report, the sources said.
The news was first reported Sunday by The Wall Street Journal.
However, a source cautioned that the Energy Department's conclusion was not being viewed as hugely significant among the intelligence community because of interagency disagreements about Covid’s origins.
hmmm, wonder why that was mentioned here.
This "confusion" and "low confidence" just makes our "Intelligence Agencies" and Leftist believers look all the more moronic every day to our enemies and anybody with a semblance of a brain

Ok, what is the excuse for the past 24 years then? It has been rising for years. Why, when inflation was low in 2019, was credit card debt the highest on record? If debt increased solely when inflation did, I would agree, but it doesn't.
Are SOME people going into debt buying necessities? For sure. But tons more are going into debt buying things and crap they don't NEED. Cars, phones, trips, etc.
This is a pretty dumb analysis.
Our GOVERNMENT has basically tied all of life (including gov't transfer payments) to having a phone.
You take is just not accurate.
Agree, the crisis resulting from the Biden Admin will lead to consumers eventually trading down, but you don't get it.

Yep, I will give Obama credit...I didn't always agree with him (hardly ever), but he's sharp and he understood the dynamics and by and large did a good job for us.
This Biden cabal...they are dangerous in a way Obama's followers weren't, because we're 10 years further down the line of American decline, and they just don't get it.
Who's writing the teleprompter scripts?

He's on ignore which makes this place palatable, but there is no way this Bill guy isn't some Russian bot or something...
Did he show up like 5 years ago? That would make me feel better about it, then I wouldn't worry about another human being if it really was a Russian disinformation campaign or bot or something

You can't control the navigation of these things once they're launched.
They travel with the wind.
Um, from CNN:
“An advantage of balloons is that they can be steered using onboard computers to take advantage of winds and they can go up and down to a limited degree. This means they can loiter to a limited extent.
“A satellite can’t loiter and so many are needed to criss-cross an area of interest to maintain surveillance,” he said.

yes, your admittedly made up guesstimate should hold much sway in national policy decisions.
Well, it's not totally made up. Calculate Excess deaths in the '20-'22 time-frame, per year relative to the trailing 10-years average deaths per year, and you'll find like 10% "excess" deaths in those years...
But, honest statisticians will note that after growing low-single digits percentages for much of that decade, the 2-3 years prior to COVID saw a deceleration (and I believe on year was actually a contraction) in US deaths, such that the argument would be made that there were more people susceptible to dying from "something" the following three years anyway.
You have to think beyond what you hear on CNN/MSNBC and read in the NYTIMES (which laughably still has a "COVID" count section still...hilarious.

Yes, we'd all rather be arguing with dumbfks than going to dinner parties, eating at great restaurants with friends, skiing some of the best terrain in N America and snowmobiling around Yellowstone. Meanwhile, only a million or so Americans have died. Party on Garth!
Wrong, over three years, many millions more Americans have died than 1m. In fact, upward of 7m Americans have died since Feb, 2020, which is what happens normally.
You seem to have fallen for the Media narrative that labeling a cause of death that probably 80%-90% (my made up guesstimate) would have happened that year from SOMETHING anyway is cause to shut society and ruin EVERYONE'S lives, but there are people that are smarter than that and called out what would happen to our society in real time for what they did.
In the end, Democrats/Liberals response to COVID will lead to far worse total life outcomes than the COVID/Flu virus.

This is what ‘you guys’ have simply never understood about Trump. His negotiation style is to verbally butter up his adversaries while playing hardball with them on the actual terms. Not sure why you don’t get it. Now, I’m not saying it works every time, but it’s clearly his style.
They are clueless people with no hope for understanding how life works.
Trump was/is a total Jack-rabbit but his actions/policies were infinitely better for all of us, as these clowns (and all of us) will unfortunately soon find out.

Hate to ask this question....
But does it really come down to JA just tossing a ball up in the air under pressure (up 17) that becomes an INT and a 50 yard return? Which turned into points.
And then a JA fumble where he didn't recognize the blitz and fumbled and cost the team 7 points?
To me, the issue is the book says to pressure (blitz) JA because he doesn't handle it properly, and that only got more support today.
So we're bashing the team, but JA himself cost them about 70 yards and 14 points today. I'm not bashing, just saying if one guy makes some better decisions, the Team would have looked a lot better.
(I don't blame him for the INT off Beasley's chest when a penalty arguably could have been called).
OL protection and DL pressure need to be addressed.

As soon as Damar's uncle said that they had to administer CPR AGAIN at the hospital, I think that people SHOULD be concerned if he's still under after over 24 hours. This is out of concern for Damar and medical experience probably has nothing so do with it IMHO
They just said this was not the case, he was resuscitated just the once on the field, at least that's the latest I've heard

This thread is embarrassing.
The guy had 83 catches, like double (season-adjusted) what anyone will have as "the #2" this year, yet he had a bad season last year.
Just ridiculous. Stop with the inane comments about this our that...players (especially those making tough yards over the middle) get hurt, and the ones ACTUALLY PRODUCING deserve our respect.
This team has not replaced Beasley's production this year, simple fact...

I don't think supporting Ukraine to this extent was the original plan. If I remember correctly, the Biden administration offered to pull Zelensky out of Kyiv and set up a government-in-exile when Ukraine inevitably fell to the Russians. Based on the poor performance of the Ukrainian military in 2014, there was little expectation that they would have much success against the much larger and better-resourced Russian military.
But after Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, Ukraine changed it's military posture from a post-Soviet strategy to one aspiring to NATO standards. The goal was to better adhere to how Western militaries worked (valuing the lives of the soldier, delegation of control to NCO's in the field, advanced Western weaponry, etc.) instead of continuing the Russian model of meat grinders and a kleptocratic military leadership, which had clearly failed.
What we didn't realize was how successful they had been. I think if we had known, we may have provided them more arms prior to the invasion. But we thought this was basically the same army that got its ass handed to it 6 years prior and had basically no chance of winning. Instead, they surprised the world and repelled the initial invasion in the north on their own, though they still struggled in the east and south. Once it became apparent that the individual Ukrainian units were far superior to their Russian counterparts, the question became: what support do they need to actually win this thing (or at the least, get back to the 2014 borders via truce)?
In the end, a Ukrainian defeat of the Russian army aligns with the United States' global strategic goals and diminishes the powers of those who wish to take the global hegemony away from us and put it in the hands of the China-Russia-Iran (and maybe India?) axis. For just a fraction of our budget and none of our blood, that seems a worthy investment to me.
Thank you for the thoughtful reply.
There actually (as I recall) was really no military defense of Crimea at all, Russia just rolled in their Men in Black and annexed the territory. Don't think a shot was fired. They also infiltrated other Men in Black into those Eastern sections of Ukraine back then too...
Now, to your point, no doubt over the ensuing 6-7 years, Ukraine realized they had to beef up their defenses, and they had.
I'll acknowledge that at the beginning of this current conflict, Russia's aims were grander (Kyiv, Regime Change) such that the Ukraine/US response had to flex accordingly, so I get that. But that was essentially over after a few months, whereby Russia focused on the Eastern sections that had really been in conflict/occupied over the last 8 years anyway.
So, what's changed from "give them Russian-leaning Crimea 8 years ago, fine" to "at all costs defend the Eastern Russian-leaning sections of Ukraine - back to original borders" strategy?
I think there's something a lot bigger going on, that we're not being told about. Starting with COVID (there are 4,000,000 cities and towns in the world, and COVID came out of the one with China's bioweapons lab? Uh huh), now the re-alignment along "Energy & Natural Resources" of Russia, China, Middle East and even India, and now a picture begins to emerge.
There's a Global East vs. West war going on that is probably just getting going, started by the Leftist Western Civilization self-weakening around eco-Green energy production concerns which left their societies weak and susceptible.
The interesting part...our MAD system was probably centered around conflict with one nation. I wonder if we've contemplated Nuclear war against a bloc of like-minded nations?

Wrong. More Russian occupation is more pain. Winning is good.
Putin is being beaten down and that's just a good thing. He can't help people win elections here now. Love that.
Perhaps you don't realize this, but that was the argument for the Vietnam War.
We assuage conflict on this planet everywhere almost every day (I'm told)...why we are blasting Billions of Dollars, but more importantly hundreds of thousands of lives, over some regions near Russia when Obama simply let them annex Crimea, HAS to be perplexing even to a Biden lover like you, no?

The annual federal deficit has also fallen, from $3.1 trillion for fiscal 2020 to $1.4 trillion for fiscal 2022.
More low-knowledge Leftist nonsense.
Idiotically spendint $2-$3T on "COVID Testing & Vaccines", and then Not spending that money, is not any kind of Fiscal restraint.
This country will be in a world of hurt in 3 months and the moronic Libs have no clue about it.
