Smuggling and Human Trafficking? That is illegal. Why haven't those governors been prosecuted under smuggling and human trafficking laws? Are you suggesting that all these people should stay put in FL and TX? Who is going to make them do that? They all sign papers saying they want to go to these northern paradises of inclusion, tolerance, and sanctuary. And they don't have to pay to get there. Pretty sweet deal really. You know that this business of asylum is a bastardization of the immigration laws. It is just a way to allow more people into the country that should not be here but for their mostly bogus asylum claims. And why should TX have to keep them all when there are self proclaimed sanctuary cities where they harbor humans that are not illegal? You guys want it both ways. You want almost unlimited immigration and none for sanctuary cities. It doesn't work that way. You must, as sentient beings, recognize that. mspart

Actually, gun laws have been passed at least here in WA in the last session. No more selling of semi auto rifles and many handguns, magazines limited to 10 or less rounds. With all the gun laws in the country, why is there an increase is gun crime? No relaxing of gun laws here. Perhaps you also know gun crime is increasing here. mspart

Yes, Mayor Adams sounded unhinged. He trumpeted that NYC is sanctuary city, but I guess that was as long as all them people stayed out of NYC. He's crying about 10k people a month and they can't keep up with it? Cry me a river. He asked for this and he is getting it and now thinks it isn't fair. Hey genius!! The policy is wrong and you are recognizing it without calling it out. Change the policy and control the flood of illegal immigration and the problem will be mostly solved. mspart

It would be easy to find people to say all kinds of things. The fact of the matter is that a black guy wrote this. Would other black professors or not professors push back? Yes. Would American Indian professors push back? Yes. Would any professor of any race push back? Yes. Does that make them right or wrong? I remember the situation where the anthropology professor in a debate with Riley Gaines said that there would be no way to tell if a person was male or female by the bones they left behind. The room laughed out loud and the professor protested saying that they were a prof and knows this stuff and they don't. And they laughed more. You can read about and watch video here: https://www.foxnews.com/media/audience-laughs-professor-telling-riley-gaines-difference-male-female-bone-structure The show BONES was based on being able to tell from bone structure if the murder victim was male or female. And not a few months after the incident, a dig found bones hundreds of years old and they were identified as female because of the bone structure. So could a professor be wrong? mspart

I have had a few arguments with Ban over the past several days, but I fail to see where his high powered math is wrong here. His math computations are correct. Perhaps he should pull out his Fourier transforms and really wow us. mspart

Answering with a question is not an answer. Answer the question please. mspart

What we are talking about happened during the depression as a way to increase prices. My dad witnessed this as a kid. He wondered why farmers were digging up their crops while people were starving. Fortunately nowadays, we don't have that as much as we did during the 1930s, the starving paradigm that is. mspart

This is what it says: Do you agree with this statement, or disagree? If agree, give reasoning. If disagree, give reasoning. mspart

Good to hear! mspart

Agreed, he owes us nothing. But if he is going to be in, he needs to be all in. Barring injury of course, of which we have no information. Best of luck to Parris, I hope he makes a statement in Belgrade. mspart

Unless there is an injury, I find this weird. Gable had to get WWE permission, I assume, to train and go to US Nationals and then Final X. So then why the pull out at kind of the last minute? Injury? At least injury would be acceptable as an excuse. Some contract thing with WWE? Inexcusable. mspart

How so Plasi? mspart

What books about the Holocaust and what was watered down in the AP African American studies classes? Just saying these things does not make them true? The list is interesting with the #1 book being blatantly sexual if the watered down description is accurate. I would like to see a substantiation for why the books you claim are ok on the list are not allowed in school libraries since you seem to know all about them. Again, not saying you are wrong, but would like to see some evidence about your assertions. mspart

Yes, how is he doing and how did he get in a situation where he could get shot? Unlucky accident like a driveby shooting? mspart

The cone of silence is a classic gag. mspart

Maxwell Smart: Get Smart was one of the greatest tv shows of all time. mspart

If he wins, that would be a nice selling point on top of his Olympic win. I think WWE should be encouraging this stuff this year and next. mspart

Yoikes!! mspart

There is that!. But this does not just apply to $1M homes. mspart

Coming to a neighborhood near you!! mspart

Yes, indeed. Friends with boats are much better than owning one!! mspart

Oh yes, the empty vault. Geraldo should be excoriated for that at every opportunity!! mspart

Current inflation doesn't help those who still make the same money as they did in 2021. In fact it is worse on them because the prices just keep rising with inflation and they have to choose and do without as a result. The fact that inflation is slowing down is good, but the overall effect on prices won't be reversed. $5.41 for diesel around here. That's up almost a dollar since January. Of course we now in WA have a cap and trade tax on carbon fuel types so we now have the highest gas/diesel prices in the country. Now it is taking effect on the natural gas prices and the state won't let the local utility provide a line item on the bill to explain that. Another example of open government. mspart

I don't own a boat!! Money evaporates with those things. mspart

I would love to make that. I have two briskets leftover. I'm getting hungry, except for the Fair food I ate yesterday. But I'm getting there. Since this is a thread on smoking, and I don't know what sousing is, can you explain please? That looks soooooo good! mspart
