Winner winner chicken dinner. They fear-mongered during the campaign and created a problem that largely didn't exist. Why is that, an inquiring MAGA mind may ask? Because, under federal law, a wide variety of criminal convictions already lead to deportation. And those laws have been well-enforced. So this idea that there's 20 million criminal aliens running around is just as dumb as the "eating the dogs and cats" BS during the debates. It just isn't true. So, to hit the quota, ICE is so aggressive that it is rounding up any alien (a policy that I suspect a majority of Americans don't like given the importance of this labor to our economy) and is catching some US citizens in the net.

This is an option I have come to accept as well. For many years, especially under Bush's GWOT, I was in the decidedly liberal camp that criticized the attempt to label Islam a threat for fear of contributing to xenophobia and racism. And there are certainly racist and xenophobic people out there. But that doesn't change the fundamental truth that there are enough Muslims moving to the west who don't respect Western integration and who would decidedly vote to turn western democracies into Islamic theocracies. The term I've seen that does a good job describing how and why liberals turn a blind eye to the very real harm of Islamic ideology (and other toxic states of affairs) is "toxic empathy." That is, allowing for extremely toxic behavior out of fear of being called racist or sexist, or xenophobic or anti-trans... And this conglomeration of toxic states of affairs, from letting anyone and everyone cross the border illegally, to telling every five year old in school that changing their gender might solve all of their problems ECT... Is why millions and millions of people who haven't voted R in their lives saw Trump 2024 as the lesser of two evils.

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.

The thing Cosell touches on at the end of the Hairston assessment is EXACTLY the thing - the disruption to passing offense doesn't come from the DL anymore as much as from the secondary coverage and jamming routes on press. Hairston may not be physically dominant on press, he doesn't have the shock I've seen from an Amos or Thomas, but he can be up there, in the QB field of vision without fear because his recovery speed is ELITE.

If you were a homebuilder, would you be amping up to increase building now? - mortgage rates likely going in the wrong direction (watch long bonds) - labor shortages likely (watch immigration enforcement) - uncertain supply situation (watch tariffs on everything from softwood lumber to nails) - recessionary fears (watch CNBC and read the WSJ) - unstable/stupid governance (watch Trump)

Time for you to mask up! They may even roll out a vaccine just to calm your fears.

You let a corpse run the country on auto pen for 4 years. Leaving a mess of unimaginable proportions. Don’t fear. We will get it fixed despite the opposition flat out saying they have zero desire to see Trump succeed - which would mean America succeeds.

Do you mean Black Monday? There's always concerns with market corrections and it's mostly pushed by people who want the stock market to drop so they can buy low. Also, people who make their living selling gold or other metals benefit off of people's fears of the market tanking. You obviously can't prove our 401k's would be higher if Trump didn't implement tariffs. However, I do think his actions made a lot of people's pockets a lot lighter than it should be right now.

I agree with both of these points although I think the coaching staff likes Ulufoshio and viewed last year as mini red shirt year like they like to do with LBs in their 2nd year. But LB depth still scares me, as does Taron. It's why I like the Hancock pick so much but probably not for this season. I do think Kincaid will rebound but TE is still a concern for me. TE is our best path to pass catchers putting fear in opponents now

My experience in a quite different context with the Saudis. What I'm saying here is "let them fight their own fight" should apply equally to them as to Ukrainians? As to the Baltics, who fear that they are next in Putin's reconquista? We have legitimate U.S. interests in conflicts and conflict avoidance all over the world, and I think this fight - even a proxy battle we're involved in vs. the Houthis - shows that an isolationist America First/no involvement in foreign conflicts is simply naive and dangerous, and that everyone except JD Vance understands that.

It used to be the right that would constantly remind us that we are a constitutional republic, not a pure democracy. This is about the Rule of Law, not about "democracy." Take a poll at various times and the majority would say that we need to eliminate free pro-Palestinian speech, or that we need to ban firearms, or that we shouldn't provide any kind of due process to people illegally here. That's why we have a constitution - a fear of pure democracy.

The screen has the DOW at 25,309 so that's probably 5 or 6 years ago. But the point is still relevant. Most people are just speculating on price movements based on sentiment and monetary & interest rate policy and couldn't articulate the rationale for investing in any particular stock except that the share price is going up. Investing through FOMO, fear of missing out.

The other factor, and I'm sorry to bring up hockey, which I know is a dull subject for you, but Terry Pegula is the absolute worst owner in the NHL. He hires inexperienced GMs, and continues to keep an inadequate fella in the role, at least partly because he feels heard by Kevyn Adams. The Bills were dysfunctional before McD and Beane arrived. They have built a strong and competent culture. I fear what would happen should that be gambled away, though I appreciate the concerns of those who question the ceiling on the regime.

Media Makes Jaw-Dropping Admission About Fear of Tariffs As Trump Polls Start to Rise Again Nick Arama Remember how we were told the economy would blow up with President Donald Trump's tariff efforts? But then we saw deals with the U.K. and China. The Trump team was finally able to get China to the table on trade, which is a pretty amazing result. The April inflation number was, again, less than expected, the lowest in four years. Grocery prices also had the biggest decline in five years. Now, the media is admitting something that's patently obvious, at least right now: what we were being told just hasn't come to pass. Axios was out with a story on Thursday titled, "Hard data suggests tariff-driven inflation and recession fears may be overblown." They note that with April numbers in, none of the things warned about have come to pass. Not only are retail sales steady, but even wholesale prices have dropped: https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/05/15/what-media-is-saying-now-about-tariffs-trump-polls-rising-again-n2189138 https://www.axios.com/2025/05/15/tariffs-inflation-recession-data?utm_campaign=editorial&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter .

Funny because trump was trying to spread fear when he was on the campaign trail by claiming the stock market would crash like no one has ever seen before if he wasn't elected. So far he has wiped out over $10,000,000,000,000. In just 3 months. I just hope there is something left or the stock market for Obama to fix!

When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near, to kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be, and I long to be Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind

This is my biggest fear. We’ve fallen into this trap three consecutive years in RD1 and it’s always ended up poorly. If the run on corners happens early, I hope Beane is wise enough to not again draft this years version of WR8 off the board at CB or DE

It wasn't about wearing a mask being a slight inconvenience but just a fear that what makes America great is our individual freedom. I didn't agree with them but I understood where they were coming from. It's why I despise this tariff policy. Why the hell should we give one guy the power to make us pay more for products because he happens to like tariffs and therefore hurts private companies and can kill small businesses. It's antithetical to everything this country is supposed to stand for.

That and there was no fear of getting beat by Daniel Jones.

I will keep you posted and the end result will be a welcome answer either way, ya know? Otherwise as far as PPP is concerned . What else can a sane person do besides wait an see what the future brings. We changed our financials to bonds well before this because of having fears of what might happen. and here we are Lord Have Mercy. I thought you were a non believer my bad. I appreciate it. m

It doesn't depend on anything. Either way, you will make 237 posts tomorrow on how much you hate Trump because that is your primary passion and interest in life. It is all that you have and if he was to be gone tomorrow, you would probably freeze in fear at your desk and have a severe panic attack because you would be thrown off by the sudden giant void in your life.

Summarized - 25 years of Neo con Uni party foreign policy led to Iran today. That one act did more to set back non-proliferation than potentially any single event in modern history, and yet we are told by the same neocons who designed, demanded, and executed it to trust them when it comes to Iran policy. Iraq showed that American intelligence was not to be believed, Libya showed that America and NATO were not to be trusted, and Afghanistan showed that America was not to be feared. These are the fruits of neocon American foreign policy over the last quarter-century. If you want the next twenty-five years to look any different, you’d be well advised to do the opposite of whatever the neocons demand. And right now, they’re demanding war with Iran.

Is there fear with Hurts? I mean it was a nice pitch.

My favorite Tears For Fears song.

Is trump demented or lying thru his teeth again? https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/newsom-fears-trumps-mental-state-35371199 From US Army techniques publication cited above Continental United States Versus Outside the Continental United States 2-4.
