  1. I appreciate the replay, gonna take me a while to delve through all that info!
  2. did not say that.. I thnk sometimes CNN hits stuff right on the head when they report News...not talking head garbage. Same with Fox..when they are delivering the News... I think it is closer to "fair and balanced" ..again not the crap Fox and Friends or other talking heads Hannity, Lemon. Scarborough, Carlson...all junk and all one sided opinion guys... In terms of print, yes the Post and Times certainly lean one way...the Journal another...and i think it pretty easy to spot when "opinion" is being mixed in the "news"
  3. That is the mistake I make more than any other..too much salt..you figure I would learn my lesson by now!!!!!
  4. See Joe, I agree on the NATO spending..as do most rational people. But to start a trade war and infuriate our allies I just do not see as a solution. We are soon to be the "enemy of our enemy" for all nations... I just don't see the long game here. And much like in Rhinos post, i enjoy your perspectives and understand there can be a difference of opinion, but when we get to deep state stuff and the "domestic enemies" in the intelligence communities and all that stuff, people like me just lose respect for the argument. see, this just loses me...so only "true" news comes from fringe sites? There is no honest reporting in all the land?
  5. to address your first paragraph.. I liked this take fro Pro Isreal think take Washinton Institute http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/view/the-next-mideast-explosion I do agree that ISIS has certainly been beaten back, a process starter under Obama and continued under Trump. Having said that, i think, as always, that region is still a quagmire for the US, no worse, or better, under Trump. In terms of the "fake News" what am I missing? I saw the 38north story over the weekend..not saying this facetiously but what is fake about it? I mean when the WSJ is reporting on it, is that fake news? Does a Murdoch owned property report fake news as well? https://www.wsj.com/articles/north-korea-expands-key-missile-manufacturing-plant-1530486907 In terms of your paragraph on allies.. I just do not follow. Load me up some non"deep state" stuff..and lets even say what you post is correct...that is worth the destruction of the American economy?
  6. l'll bite Joe. I might agree with you a bit on the immigration piece..have my concerns but also see the Trump administration plan and view..outside of the wall. I despise the way Trump talks about immigrants, but I think the system is a mess and needs fixing. But I am struggling to see how we are better off with either allies or enemies....why do you think we are? Any specific cases where you think we are better?
  7. you missed the best part of the article The name of this reported bill is the “United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act”—or “FART.”
  8. Maybe not, but even the Mooch opined over the weekend smart money has started moving to the sidelines. I know I made a fairly substantial hedge bet in March on a 15% drop in the Dow when he first announced these tariffs. The tax cut and resultant pop in earnings coupled with Trump's approach to tariffs put a scare in me. I am still long with the majority of my money but wanted some downside protection in the face of a major selloff. Let's hope we don't get there, but I am getting scared.
  9. I like Risto..i just have a feeling those first round picks are not getting picked by the Sabres..1 of the yes, but I think the other two are used in trades. But then again, we have seen that movie before, so maybe TPegs is okay with waiting ...
  10. Ads have not been on the podcast/on demand side..and have not noticed anything in app in regards to ads. I have listened live a few times, and it seemed like maybe ads would pop up there not on the radion side..but i could be wrong on that. And i think this does come down to money..but not just in that way. Entercom I am sure just wanted one app to maintain instead of each of their owned stations have their own app. For instance, WEEI in Boston just did the exact same thing. BTW, Entercom/CBS own radio.com as well.
  11. This whole trade came to Bergland being a Swede. Trade not made if a Swede is not included. BTW @JohnC , i be drinking two beers at the opener now!
  12. I 100% agree with that..but the option to download is nice. While it still does not stay at the exact spot, i have noticed it does not go all the way back to the beginning. My one question is how to delete episodes. There is a setting to auto delete played episodes, but I have some in there I will never play. Any help appreciated
  13. That's what it says...proves its all a chemical reaction and adds no flavor..but we all love the look of it and it is great for the eyes and anticipation! Thats why I get a kick out of him saying the smoke ring is a sign of "great flavor" . I love almost all his stuff, but he and Meathead differ on this ..and I love Meathead
  14. https://amazingribs.com/more-technique-and-science/more-cooking-science/mythbusting-smoke-ring-no-smoke-necessary Interesting read. I like watching Raichlin, and he always gushes about the "gorgeous smoke ring" ..
  15. You just implying I am older than the hills?? What was great is that it mounted into a “slide rack” ( someone help me out, what were those things called?) so you could easily take out/in to keep in trunk. Slide mount maybe?
  16. i am a bit hung over and its already 100 out..so watching the France-Argentina match..very entertaining game. Amazing to think how close Argentina was to being eliminated
  17. woohoo..summer is SO awesome. so glad i will not be outside for another 24 hours!!!!!i We all know going outside is overrated anyway!!!
  18. Dicks are like CVS..they keep opening up more stores and i never see anyone in the ones that are open already. Their are two Dick stores within 5 miles of this one..always empty. BTW, saw Bruce at Stony Point mall Christmas shopping about 4 years ago...he actually might live in Richmond now.
  19. Cause to get, ya gotta give. Way to much smoke here for no fire. Of course I want him to develop, doesn’t mean I won’t include him in a deal to get better. He needs time to develop, So too will the asset coming back. Might be just me, but I trust GMJB judgement over GMTM at the moment. Here is the bet.. if Nylander not part of the deal I will drink two Genny’s at the home opener. What you wanna bet?
  20. confirming there are fatalities, but not numbers.
  21. Pioneer Super Tuner..we had to move to Grand Island from the Love Canal in the summer of my junior year in high school..i wanted to finish my last year at LaSalle, so had to buy a car on my own(see first car thread)..Mom and Pops got me this and a pair of Sparkomatics Tri Axle speakers as they felt sorry for me. Had that thing for like 10 years! And man, i still think those Sparkomatics( KMart bran for those that do not know) were every bit as good as the Jensens...and for like 1/3 price!
  22. I buy as much as possible. Yes its more expensive, and i cant point to any study to confirm...but i just think there has to be something in the "regular" food supply that has given rise to food allergies and other conditions like ADD. BTW, i am pretty damn sure Walmart and just about every single grocery store now carries all kind or organic produce. Only thing I do not buy consistently "organic" is beef.
