  1. Past hour
  2. Great essay. Agree pretty much word for word.
  3. I think a distinction that is being missed here is the difference between cooperating with, and being thankful for (as it pertains in the other thread) for law enforcement engagement, vs military troops engaging in law enforcement in American cities. Military policing Americans has always been a no no. It’s a big reason for the revolution that started our nation. And it is not what is being agreed to here. DC, while appreciating and encouraging the assistance of law enforcement agencies, is also suing the administration over the use of military troops policing our citizens. Can’t undo what has been done, so I’m assuming they are suing for the sake of it not becoming the norm, which it seems to be creeping toward.
  4. The same people who fabricated Russia gate and said the laptop was Russian disinformation. The corporation isn't even debatable.
  5. I have no evidence and neither do you. Circumstantially the left is on way thinner ice. No matter what happens at this point I don't trust anything that the left had their hands on in an organization that has proven itself corrupt.
  6. Socialism is the clown prince of economic systems. All are equal, but as history has shown, some are more equal than others. That's just the way it is because privilege and power has its rewards. That is anti socialist but it is how the socialist world works. mspart
  7. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-black-voters-gains-results-1982939 President-elect Donald Trump won more Black voters than any Republican candidate was able to do in nearly fifty years, an analyst said Friday. CNN's Harry Enten looked at different demographics in the 2024 election, finding big gains for the GOP candidate compared to previous election cycles. Trump's voter base remained white and working-class people, but the rise in the number of other groups, including Black, Hispanic and first-time voters allowed him a pathway to the White House. "The breadth of the improvement Donald Trump had... holy Toledo!" he said on CNN News Central. They voted for him in greater numbers than ever before. mspart
  8. Woke liberals can’t handle capitalism and hate anyone that can. It’s why they want socialism and its handouts.
  9. I'm for equal opportunity. mspart

  12. Today
  13. Anyone else seeing the Chase Sapphire Reserve ad on their screen now?
  14. I talk with him regularly, work with him occasionally, and see what he is doing on a day to day basis. But if talking smack on an anonymous message board based on what a loud mouth entertainment promoter with a long standing beef with him says makes you feel better about yourself……feel free.
  15. Exactly. Cleaning up the city is setting a troubling precedent? Reducing violent crime is setting a troubling precedent? Having residents feel safer is setting a troubling precedent? How much more in the tank can you be. it is obvious the Ds and the press are against clean and safe cities. mspart
  16. I'm not getting where you are going with this. mspart
  17. What features of the CSR do you use? If you aren't using the lounge perk at all, a downgrade to the Sapphire Preferred might be in order. You keep the really good travel insurance perks (primary car rental insurance, etc) and ability to transfer to partners for a much more reasonable annual fee. The easiest premium travel card to get your annual fee back on, or justify to yourself anyway, is the Capital One Venture X which has a $395 annual fee offset by a $300 credit for travel booked through their portal and a 10,000 point anniversary bonus. Transfer partners domestically are not nearly as good as Chase though. If you live next to a hub for an airline, you might consider the premium card offering for that airline. Oh and last, my BIL gets in just under the line on the annual fee increase for the CSR. If you do as well, you can check out which of the new coupons you can actually use and decide for sure next year.
  18. The problem is that the cartels or similar organizations aren't like you think. It's not like they have some vast command structures, or membership cards or whatever. A lot of their smuggling and logistics are done by people who are independent contractors and don't know who is really hiring them. If they get caught, who cares, they were expendable. They can't give useful information, since they aren't actually members of the cartels or know anything. So wiping them out doesn't do much. Also the way the cartels operate isn't like what's on TV. This is a business to them and they understand the reality of it. So if they lose shipments, people get arrested or whatever, they know that happens. It's the cost of doing business, because for every shipment that gets found, dozens more are successful. I'll give you a fun example. I used to live in a very rural small town that happened to have a major interstate highway going through it. My dad worked in the local government and was close to the county attorneys office. One day they had arrested some Colombian national for having some significant weight of something. They set the guy's bail at like 50 or 100k or something like that. The county attorney comes in bragging that they'll nail this guy. Meanwhile an attorney showed up to post bail, and the CA said something like, he'll be back for that money. My dad knew better and explained they'd never see that guy again, because 100k was like couch cushion change to them, and it was worth paying to get their guy back so he couldn't say anything to anyone. The local yokels believed they'd get a major conviction and all they got was a forfeited bond. It's not like the movies or TV where if you get caught z the cartels will just murder you. That might happen if you steal from them or something, but mostly they are concerned with money, and killing somebody who can make money for them is counterproductive usually.
  19. “Oscar De La Hoya is Elon Musk compared to Tito Ortiz. Tito Ortiz is one of the dumbest creatures walking the face of the Earth right now. If you take all living things and put them in a barrel, Tito is the dumbest out of everything.”
  20. In his 2025 campaign for President, Republican 47 promised to "to clean up the mess at Harvard and Columbia." 47 was referring to the unrest prevalent not just at Harvard and Columbia, but on college campuses throughout country. Students and faculty alike were engaged in protests, demonstrations, and strikes related to issues such as the Gaza, civil rights, discrimination, and women’s rights. In one 2024 campaign speech, 47 declared that many leftist campus movements had transcended legitimate protest, with the actions of "ANTIFA, radi­cals and filthy speech advocates" having become more to do "with riot­ing, with anarchy" than "academic freedom." He blamed university administrators and faculty, who "press their particular value judgments" on students, for "a leadership gap and a morality and decency gap" on campus, and suggested a code of conduct be imposed on faculty to "force them to serve as examples of good behavior and decency."
  21. Jax made it sound like they have been training for months I do not think he ever needed surgery after the Davino match.
  22. Robideau has to be the most underrated kid out of the 2025/2026 class. Only losses in the last two years are to Shaw 2 super 32's ago and PJ and has 2 wins over Melvin and Joy.
  23. Actually, mspart is right. ONLY conservatives should take advantage of tax loopholes, exemptions and credits. Liberals should all voluntarily pay extra taxes.
  24. More wokester talk with no action. Step up or shut up
  25. Still fighting that hypocrisy, I see.
