I did read it, and several others as well None of them actually seem to name the role or specifically define the scope other than some hand wringing about him have a leadership role and "overseeing" something. I'm not arguing that it's a good idea, but rather that it's probably not quite what it seems and is more fear mongering.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/los-angeles-ice-raids-spark-protests-fear-outrage-our-community-is-under-attack/ar-AA1GfpRF This doesn't look like America. It looks like fascism.

Curious why domestic abuse isn’t listed on the charges unless it’s because the fearful wife withdrew the claim or statute has passed? Either way, I’m considering just jumping ship and registering independent (well I’m in CA, so NPP). Can’t take the fake outrage over this piece of trash and a laundry list of other things.

I found the language barrier to be intimidating before going to Europe the first time, but my first trip was on a small cruise ship. The cruise aspect with the side excursions booked made me feel more comfortable. I quickly realized my fears were greatly overblown. As one of my sisters said, “You know what I see most of in Europe? Other tourists.” The places we traveled are generally geared to serving us in exchange for our euros. My SIL used to take college kids on trips to Europe for Penn State. She worked with a French lady who splits her time between Paris and NYC and got all the agendas worked out. This lady knows the ropes and we had an amazing trip. I don’t know how much extra that’s cost was on the Paris/Italy trip, but I’d say it was well worth it.

Ok guess I’m in the minority, but I believe if they’re able to protect him I that he can definitely compete for a wildcard. Rodgers numbers last year were decent, especially considering the organization he did it with. Steelers aren’t striking fear into the AFC contenders with this signing, but they could definitely cause some issues within their own division if they can protect.

My fear is too often when these guys sit out, then they finally show and get hurt real quick. So how much will he help if he's hurt and then leaves in the off season anyway.

There should be but logistically it would be really hard to pull off as undocumented immigrant workers would fear being deported. Yup. The illegal immigrants by and large do the jobs that we don't want to and many employers take advantage of paying them under the table (42% of undocumented workers in NYS make below minimum wage). We also wouldn't have enough workers to fill those spots if every illegal alien was suddenly deported. It really should be a multifaceted approach of beefing up border security, increasing punishment on employers that exploit illegal immigrants, and somehow do what @Roundyboutsuggested. It's not going to happen though.

My biggest this if he's not in TC is that he may be in great shape...but won't be in football shape when the season starts. Just from memory I can think of a lot of guys that held out all or a portion of the off-season workouts and TCs theat end up playing with soft tissue injuries during the season. Yes we need him, but we need him healthy and ready to roll. Otherwise, I fear we see his name on the injury report all season long and see a less physical version of him in games.

I suppose that's fair. I just feel like simply stating "Dalvin held out the Offseason" doesn't tell the whole story. For as much vitriol and/or fear of a serious holdout people have towards James's situation and comparisons being made to his brother, implicating a bad influence - Dalvin never held out so much as a single Training Camp practice. Even when he was openly saying he was going to hold out, which James hasn't.

ACTUALLY, I PROBABLY WILL: You Won’t Believe the Media’s Excuse for Trump’s Good Economic Poll Numbers Matt Margolis On Monday, CNN poll analyst Harry Enten delivered a reality check to the Democratic Party. Despite months of nonstop attacks on Donald Trump’s economic policies, the latest polling shows Republicans still hold a clear edge on the issue that matters most to voters, particularly the economy. Enten pointed out that back in November 2023, Republicans led Democrats by 11 points on which party voters trusted more on economic issues. Fast forward to now, and even after Biden loyalists spent a year trying to rewrite the narrative, the GOP still leads by eight points. And it’s not just one poll. In fact, Reuters/Ipsos shows the Republican lead on having the better economic plan has grown from nine points last year to twelve points today. “How is that possible, Democrats?” Enten asked, exasperated. He ran down the list — recession fears, the stock market, tariffs, inflation — and still came up short. The answer, of course, is simple: The American people aren’t buying the left’s economic spin anymore. Remember when they tried to blame Trump for high egg prices — even though those prices started plummeting as soon as he returned to office? Or when they claimed Trump’s tariffs would drive inflation — and inflation dropped instead? The Democrats are losing this argument because real-world results are blowing up their talking points. Enten’s most devastating point, though, wasn’t about polling margins. It was about identity. “They have traditionally been the party of the middle class. No more,” he said bluntly. That’s the real bombshell. Democrats have lost the one thing that used to anchor their brand: the perception that they were the champions of working Americans. That mantle now belongs to Trump and the GOP. Naturally, the Democrats' allies in the media can’t handle this. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/03/you-wont-believe-the-medias-excuse-for-trumps-good-poll-numbers-n4940391

Oh rest assured, 100% of the fear distribution is with the mousy prey. You have entered a lion’s den that is the history of political philosophy. This is well within my PURRRview. I FEEL I KNow a very significant amount on this topic. And my legendary posting stamina can render you CATatonic. I don’t KNEAD to massage your ego, either, as your predictable fate was of your own volition. So now hear ME OUt: 1. This is the consensus opinion of credible academic historians, based on all sorts of well-researched evidence. You’re overruling them?? 2. There are many versions of socialism, but all with one common denominator: workers owning the means of production. I reject your rejection. 3. Yes, branding, which is quite distinct from ACTUALLY BEING. 4. No, that was a reference to the fact that the Nazis quickly moved to crush all political opposition soon after taking control. Hitler offered no approach to socialism (see: point #2). He governed in accordance with fascism. I’m sure some of his early supporters who wanted socialism also liked his ultranationalism, calls for a strong centralized government, and hatred of Jews. None of that, however, are necessary features of socialism. Again…I know plenty of actual card-carrying DSA members. They all seem to be anti-nationalists, federalists, and humanists of some type. << Narrator: Kay carefully licks the backs of her hands, saunters over to a corner of her bedroom, curls up in a curious ball, and proceeds to sleep for the next eighteen hours. >>

Not really "follies" more like Biden administration corruption. Another Huge Biden Scandal Is About to Blow Up Matt Margolis Another Biden scandal is blowing up—this time in East Palestine, Ohio. Newly uncovered emails reveal that the Biden administration knew cancer-causing toxins may have been released into the community following a catastrophic train derailment, even as officials publicly claimed everything was under control. The disaster began on Feb. 3, 2023, when a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed and burst into flames near the small Ohio town. Among the wreckage were five railcars filled with vinyl chloride—a highly flammable, cancer-causing chemical. Fearing an explosion, authorities ordered evacuations and carried out a so-called “controlled release,” sending a toxic plume into the air and blanketing the area in chemicals the Biden administration knew would pose serious long-term health risks, but the Biden White House nevertheless assured residents they were safe, downplaying the risks and stonewalling concerns in what now looks like a blatant cover-up. “The occurrence of a cancer-cluster in EP [East Palestine] is not zero,” FEMA recovery leader James McPherson wrote in a March 29, 2024 email to other public health officials—more than a year after the toxic train derailment rocked the community. “As you all are aware, the first 48 hours of the fire created a really toxic plume.” The Biden administration infamously refused to provide federal assistance for the environmental disaster… until after President Trump announced his plan to visit East Palestine. A week after the disaster, FEMA’s website did not list it as a disaster and Joe Biden had made no declaration either. In fact, a local TikToker accused the Biden administration of coving up the horrors of the train derailment. “It is so much worse than what the media is telling any of us,” she said. “I’m getting reports from people that are down there right now, that they’re literally seeing schools of fish floating down streams, rivers, f—ing dead.” The Biden administration may have hoped the people of East Palestine would quietly suffer and eventually forget—but they won’t, and neither will the Trump administration. This scandal, like so many others from the Biden years, is not going to be buried under a pile of bureaucratic emails and government spin. The truth will come out. From the toxic chemical plume to the deliberate public deception, every bit of it will be exposed. The American people deserve answers, and under Trump’s leadership, they’re going to get them. Accountability is coming. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/01/another-huge-biden-scandal-is-blowing-up-n4940344

I saw him and Ian Hunter at the Agora Ballroom in the early 80's... got lucky as they were running out of room, put some tables 12' from the stage... and they escorted me and some chick I had met the same day up there... mindblowing.

Aww, look a retired nurse crying on a message board about Pride Month. They can’t handle the chaos drowning them, so they cling to tired distractions like a security blanket. Acting like being gay is some new threat, while ignoring Trump and Epstein’s well-documented crimes or Trump rolling out the red carpet for the Tate brothers. Truth is their kryptonite. They blame the border, but Trump is letting pedophiles and notorious drug cartels cross unchecked. They refuse to face reality. Pride Month isn’t the problem ignorance and fear are.

Ah yes, the adults are back - the ones who brought us record deficits, reality show politics, and policy via tweet. Spare us the fantasy novel about Guatemalan antelopes and ‘God-fearing patriots.’ What you’re describing isn’t leadership, it’s a culture war tantrum dressed up as governance. If this is what ‘adults’ look like, it’s no wonder the country’s exhausted.

Law is another that I fear for. Depositions that take young lawyers all day can be written in 3 minutes by AI. Including deep research into past cases!

My fear is he pulls a Wyatt Teller of the 1st round on us. The talent is so obvious watching him play. He's not schemed open. Not sure if Brady's even capable of that. It's the fluidity of his routes that account for his above average YAC as he's already turning up field when catching it.

You do. Or to be more precise - you and morons like you. For the past 4 years under Sleepy Joe Biden, aided and abetted by a disgraceful activist media, the entire planet - not just the great citizens of the USA - has witnessed the attempted dismantling and mismanagement of everything sacred from the nuclear family to bastardisation of the populace by way of unfettered migration to the undermining of potential for young women to dream big in sports to responsible spending of taxpayers hard earned money. And a million other things. Thanks to DT47, those days are now a thing of the past. No more bureaucratic-controlled Biden autopens or huge grants for the research of transgender behaviour of Guatemalan antelopes. It's game over for those who endorsed colossal Democrat stupidity, contempt of God-fearing American patriots and epic waste. And Elon Musk has played his part in draining the swamp. Strap yourselves in lefty morons - the adults are back in charge!

London calling to the faraway towns Now war is declared, and battle come down London calling to the underworld Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls London calling, now don't look to us Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust London calling, see we ain't got no swing Except for the ring of that truncheon thing The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin Engines stop running, but I have no fear 'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

I think Musk is a bit feared by leaders of varied potent factions around the world.

I feel a need to be reassured by the board. I get a creeping fear - which can only be based on some weird, deep-seated prejudice -- that Cole Bishop may well lack the toughness to be an NFL strong safety. Maybe he looks a little bit too much like a choirboy. Maybe he is too handsome and I am secretly jealous. I am 100% rooting for him. I know he has the height, weight and speed. But I look at him and think "likely to be scheme sound." No, please! I want to look at him and say "geez, I would sure hate to be a running back and see that animal flying downhill at me. Snot flying, drool dripping, that dude is going to wreck someone." I want to think - wide receiver over the middle? Not worried about it, Bishop will get there and lay the MoFo out. They may complete one, but it will be VERY expensive for them. Tell me I am stupid, a hater or just off base. I really liked the pick when they made it, I am hoping he grows into a silent assassin on the back-end. Even if he is scheme sound too (and I know he wasn't always that last year either). Let's go Cole - cheering for you, and want to feel stupid for doubting you. I may have to buy a Bishop jersey just to exorcise my doubts. Thoughts?

This is awesome. The Left’s definition of fascism is spot on: Why does this matter? Because Verhoeven, shaped by his experiences under wartime occupation in the Netherlands, developed a deep aversion to any political structure that emphasized order, unity, or collective identity. To him, fascism was not defined by race or tradition, but by the concentration of power itself. Whether from Left or Right, religious or secular, nationalist or globalist, any strong central authority represented a threat. This kind of liberalism projects fascism onto any system that imposes limits, expects discipline, or demands allegiance to something higher than personal autonomy. It cannot distinguish between spiritual order and state tyranny, between hierarchy and oppression. For Verhoeven, the blending of media, military, and state power already signaled the return of what he feared most.

Very well said boater, good on 'ya. I fear too many of us live with Survivor's Guilt. It's punishing.

Amidst the beer, BBQ, and good holiday humor, today should also be one of somber reflection, if even briefly. For, this day, we humbly honor The Fallen: those who have given their lives--in battle and beyond--to this nation. Their deaths echo across lost futures, devastated families, loved ones, and friends, eternally mournful. But now they're just weathered dog tags, hard tears, and faded flowers, laid across wistful graves. So I'll paraphrase Lincoln and suggest it must be we, the living, who solemnly pay tribute to their service and sacrifice, or, I fear, they will just drift from our memory. Therefore I ask, most respectively: please take a few moments this day, bow your heads, and pray for our lost brothers-and-sisters-in-arms, and those bereaved. V/r, DSK

Notice where the cult operates - they can’t acknowledge a single red flag. To do so would shatter the illusion they’ve been fed. Admitting even a sliver of truth risks unraveling the entire web of lies, fear, and identity they’ve built their loyalty on.
