  1. The Primer minister of Greenland is ready to discuss terms with Trump. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-denmark-greenland-military-b2677960.html https://www.reuters.com/world/greenland-leader-says-everyone-should-respect-islands-wish-independence-2025-01-10/ Not saying there will be a sale, but there will be an understanding. Probably access to stuff we don't already have access to. Probably on a lease type situation like I discussed earlier. mspart
  2. You mean the chaos of the Aghanistan pullout that we were told went wonderfully and was a great success? Or are you speaking of the sieve of a border that we were told repeatedly that it was locked down or under control, only in the last years to be told it was not under control and needed an immigration bill to fix? Or are you talking about the inflation that was transitory before it wasn't and has hit consumers hard? Or is it the chaos of being told we' ll have to pay for student loans that we did not take out because those that did were not responsible only to have the SCOTUS say no and then Biden trying again only to be told NO again and then trying again? Or are you talking about the heckofa job for North Carolina in the wake of the hurricane that wasn't a heckofa job, an event that had FEMA not going to homes with Trump signs in their yard? Not really sure what chaos you are speaking of. mspart
  3. As long as Student IDs state if you are a US citizen or no, I would see no reason they shouldn't be accepted. But there is no air of gubment authority to them, so that may be why. As for Tribal ID, I have no idea why they would not be accepted. I know that GA made numerous forms of ID acceptable. This is an easy thing to do, but there seems to be a lack of will to do it by certain groups.
  4. Who would you blame? The guy without his house now? Who are we going to blame when we entrust the gooberment to fight fires and they don't. Who do we blame for insufficient water supply? Come on, I'm waiting. I can't wait for your response. mspart
  5. So it is therefore is not worth thinking about, talking about, or investigating. Yes you are a wealth of practical experience. mspart
  6. Correct. Cut spending to that which is absolutely necessary. Fire prevention and fighting is necessary. Eight years ago the voters approved billions for water recovery. That did not happen. You excuse malfeasance as if it was not a decision made by voted in to keep the people safe. But it is exactly their decisions that led to no water in the hydrants and the fuel that allowed the fire to get out of control with 0% containment for days. Who else should be faulted? This happened in Seattle some years ago. It got cold and the roads iced up. City busses were sliding down the steep hills that rival San Francisco. Many cars were also damaged as a result. All because the mayor said not salt on the roads. Zero, nada. Why? Because Mr. Ecology didn't want to unbalance the Puget Sound with too much salt. Next election he was outta there. Another fool came in. But they salt the roads now. Hopefully the good people of CA can make the necessary changes to get this situation changed for the better. mspart
  7. This is probably true. But I think grappling is enogh different than wrestling for this to be debateable. Grapplers don't care if they are on their back. They use submission. Wrestling does not and they do not teach counters to submissions. So the basics are similar but the rest is different. mspart
  8. Lack of preparedness? Thanks for your expert analysis. That is what everyone on here is saying. What a load you are. And why were they unprepared? Because the politicians voted in to keep the people safe were derelict in their duty. LA mayor reduced LA fire department budget. Proposition 1 provided for funding reservoirs years ago and nothing has come of it. The state has actively reduced the ability to store water. They have not cleared the fire fuel from the forests and wilderness as they were warned to do . They have been warned for years about this lack of preparedness, yet they did nothing to get better prepared abut actively did things to go the opposite direction. You can't stop a fire coming but there is knowledge out there on how to mitigate its effects and actively fight it effectively. But these were ignored for more important funding initiatives. mspart
  9. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyvy4q82l9o MPs vote against Tory call for new grooming gangs inquiry https://humanrightsvoices.org/victim-voices/british-girls-raped-by-muslim-gangs-on-industrial-scale/?y=2015 Nearly 400 British girls as young as eleven are believed to have been sexually exploited by Muslim rape gangs in Oxfordshire over the past 15 years, according to a chilling new report. It charges local officials with repeatedly ignoring the abuse due to a "culture of denial." So who is it that is not into stopping this kind of thing? We have something similar in the US where 159 D reps voted against sending illegals back to their home country when they commit crimes in the US. What in the world is all this craziness about? mspart
  10. Tell us you understand how wildland firefighting works without telling us you understand how wildland firefighting works. Since you are an expert in pointing to a lack of experts, what, in your expert opinion, went wrong here? mspart
  11. Nuff said. mspart
  12. Sources please. mspart
  13. I just posted an article on this where the Chicago city council council money to people crossing he southern border. It explained that part of them are Venezuelans. They are illegal aliens in our country entered from the southern border. Are you really that stupid that you can't see this? mspart
  14. This has what to do with fighting the CA fires going on right now? Absolutely nothing. But it has been a go to for RV for years. It holds no water just like the new CA reservoirs do not hold water because they have not been built although allocated. I think you just like to hear yourself type. mspart
  15. Grappling is different than wrestling isn't it. Jones may be better in grappling which has submission techniques. mspart
  16. That is what Karelin thought too. He didn't like the outcome. mspart
  17. yeah I agree. 2028 is a ways off but wouldn't that be something? He would establish himself as the real GOAT, not that he isn't now. mspart
  18. Heavy metal - oh yeah. mspart
  19. I am not a fan of taking over Greenland, but an arrangement like what we have with Cuba in Guantanamo seems doable. Perhaps a lease plus a percentage of minerals extracted minus shipping lane and defense safeguards. mspart
  20. Yes, that is what they are arguing. They paint themselves into a corner and don't realize it. No one buys these stupid explanations anymore. mspart
  21. I would think an arrangement could be made where we have access to the benefits of Greenland for a lease arrangement. Make that a 500 year lease. That should cover up until Armeggedon at least I would think, if the USA is still around. Or the great nuclear waste predicted in Mad Max and Wall-e. mspart
  22. Responded and corrected. mspart
  23. So now hiding your eyes is sufficient argument to support your position. You don't need to be so silly Trip and Crusty. Chicago has been complaining about illegals coming into their city as has NYC. Why would these cities, that are sanctuary cities, spend so much on migrants? Use your collective brains. Perhaps a few are legal but most are illegal. https://news.wttw.com/2024/04/19/city-council-votes-30-18-spend-70m-more-care-migrants-chicago The Chicago City Council on Friday voted 30-18 to spend an additional $70 million to house, feed and care for the migrants sent to Chicago from the southern border after another impassioned debate that once again exposed the racial fault lines dividing Chicago. In a separate vote, the City Council unanimously agreed to accept $48 million in federal and state grants to care for the migrants, who are in the country legally after requesting asylum. Most arrived in Chicago on buses paid for by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, as part of an effort to damage President Joe Biden’s chances for reelection and divide Democratic voters. Officials expect it will cost an additional $321 million through the end of 2024 to care for the migrants. The City Council and the Cook County Board of Commissioners have approved plans to contribute $70 million each, and state lawmakers are expected to set aside $182 million as part of the state’s budget for the next fiscal year. More than 39,600 people, many fleeing violence and economic collapse in Venezuela, have made their way to Chicago since August 2022. That has strained the city’s social safety net, ballooned the city’s budget shortfall and exacerbated tension between Chicago’s Black and Latino communities. How do we know they are illegals? It is in the news. Stop lying to yourselves and others. Open your eyes and see what is happening. This is why Trump was voted in again. Because people decided what they were being told was lies and they searched for something better. You guys are classic: mspart
  24. Talk about spin. No self awareness whatsoever. mspart
  25. Incorrect. My observation stands. You don't care about the gulf yet took the time (how much is immaterial) to find two articles about it. But you took zero time to find articles that bolster your opinion regarding the things you do care about, Panama and Greenland. That is not tangential. You are the one that posted it and then said you don't care about it. I just observed it. mspart
