Hoping Ben and Amy get this all straightened out. If people are really this invested, they should give to the go fund me account for him. mspart

Everyone has their faults. But it does seem incongruous to repeatedly invoke your attachment to Christianity and not really adhere to its basic fundamentals. But we all struggle to live as we know we should live. Hopefully they will get this figured out. mspart

Nobody should get a 5th season in college sports. You get four. Is there a new grade level in college I am unaware of? freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, and then what? There is no other "then what". There are 4 years of eligibility. Starocci should not have been allowed to compete last year in my humble opinion. You guys can't make me believe it should be otherwise. You can criticize me for my position but you can't make me believe that for a very short period of time, people deserved a 5th year when no one else does outside of that time frame. It's a ridiculous concept. mspart

That is pretty gross really. Jerks that don't pick up after themselves. mspart

Here's another from U of Washington's Cliff Mass https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/ Below-Normal Wildfire Year so Far Even with a relatively dry spring, cumulative wildfire acreage in Washington State is currently below normal. You read that right, below normal. Interestingly, the dry condition may have even contributed to the modest wildfire totals so far this year. To start, consider the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) acres burned statistics for Washington State (below). This year is very low...the second lowest since 2015. The whole article is good. Dr. Mass believes global warming exists. He does not buy into the hysteria surrounding it. mspart

Yeah, in RVs world, ND is exempt from all global warming. Global doesn't mean everywhere, only where they think they can make a case. mspart

https://jonathanturley.org/2025/06/27/ice-ice-baby-denver-city-council-ends-car-theft-tracking-system-to-protect-illegal-immigrants/#more-233209 I hope the whole city council gets their cars stolen. I hope all the city cars and trucks get stolen. This is eggregious. The voting public will hopefully right this wrong headed decision. The Denver City Council has voted unanimously to shutter a highly successful anti-theft auto license plate tracking system. The system was not closed due to concerns about privacy or finances. It was shut down because Democratic members believed that ICE could use the data to deport illegals. In May, the council refused to renew the $666,000 contract with Flock for camera monitors around 70 Denver intersections to screen for car theft. That system resulted in the recovery of 170 stolen cars and 300 arrests. It is also credited with key evidence in the investigation of hit-and-run and murder cases. However, it could also be used to assist ICE, and that is all that matters. Councilman Kevin Flynn explained it is all about Trump’s election: “We know that it can help solve crime. But I think since maybe Jan. 20 of this year, those concerns are greatly heightened and have a new reality about them.” Ridiculous. mspart

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/supreme-court-rules-nationwide-injunctions-trump-birthright-citizenship/story?id=123034189 Supreme Court, in birthright citizenship case, limits judges' power to block Trump's policies nationwide The Supreme Court on Friday granted a partial stay of nationwide injunctions issued by district judges against President Donald Trump's executive order to effectively end birthright citizenship. The 6-3 opinion came from Justice Amy Coney Barrett. The court's three liberal justices dissented. The court, however, said it was not deciding whether the executive order from Trump was constitutional, rather focusing on whether a single judge has the authority to issue universal injunctions. "Government’s applications for partial stays of the preliminary injunctions are granted, but only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue," the opinion read. Federal district court judges just got Nancy Kerrigan'ed. This doesn't stop legal challenges, but district courts cannot wholesale stop executive action on a nationwide scale. mspart R-GFE7-ECS-25-039.docx

Sounds like a winner. mspart

What does this mean for Taylor at OSU? mspart

The Federal government is already involved via title IX. So they have to right to say this cannot be done. And why does that have to be? Because there are many out there that proclaim that trans women are women and should be able to do and go anywhere all women can do and go. Will it only be important when a major injury happens? No it is important now and needs to be addressed. mspart

But they are not allowed to. mspart

Nice back pedaling. By saying you don't want anyone to do anything about it, you support it. You don't want the government to say this is wrong, because it is not a big enough thing to go after. Yet you admit that men have advantage and that equates to possible injuries to women, and opportunities not realized by women because a man beat them. And you support that by your live and let live mentality. You are trying to have it both ways and that is not possible. mspart

https://komonews.com/news/nation-world/americas-top-general-says-strike-on-irans-nuclear-bunker-was-15-years-in-the-making-fordo-gen-dan-caine-defense-secretary-pete-hegseth-united-states-military-operation-midnight-hammer-iran-nuclear-weapons America's top general says strike on Iran's nuclear bunker was 15 years in the making Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters Thursday morning that "Operation Midnight Hammer," the strikes against Iranian nuclear sites, was the culmination of 15 years of intense work by the American military. And Caine said the bunker-buster bombs used in the attack were tailor-made to destroy Iran's deeply buried Fordo enrichment facility. “In 2009, a Defense Threat Reduction Agency officer was brought into a vault at an undisclosed location and briefed on something going on in Iran,” said Caine, standing alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for a media briefing on last weekend’s U.S. strikes. Caine said the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, or DTRA, houses the world's leading experts on deeply buried underground targets. And the Joint Chiefs chairman offered extraordinary detail of how U.S. forces had spent years preparing for the possibility of dropping bombs on the Fordo site. Caine said they decided to strike a pair of ventilation shafts as the primary point of entry to Fordo. The general said the Iranians attempted to cover the shafts with concrete caps in the days before the U.S. strikes. But Caine said that didn’t do much to slow the 30,000-pound GBU-57 bombs dropped by B-2 stealth bombers. “The planners had to account for this. They accounted for everything. The cap was forcibly removed by the first weapon, and the main shaft was uncovered,” Caine said. “Weapons two, three, four, five were tasked to enter the main shaft, move down into the complex at greater than 1,000 feet per second, and explode in the mission space. Weapon No. 6 was designed ... as a flex weapon to allow us to cover if one of the preceding jets or one of the preceding weapons did not work.” Caine said they decided to strike a pair of ventilation shafts as the primary point of entry to Fordo. The general said the Iranians attempted to cover the shafts with concrete caps in the days before the U.S. strikes. But Caine said that didn’t do much to slow the 30,000-pound GBU-57 bombs dropped by B-2 stealth bombers. “The planners had to account for this. They accounted for everything. The cap was forcibly removed by the first weapon, and the main shaft was uncovered,” Caine said. “Weapons two, three, four, five were tasked to enter the main shaft, move down into the complex at greater than 1,000 feet per second, and explode in the mission space. Weapon No. 6 was designed ... as a flex weapon to allow us to cover if one of the preceding jets or one of the preceding weapons did not work.” The GBU-57 bombs were developed because those officers realized the U.S. didn’t have a weapon capable of destroying Fordo. The U.S. military worked with the defense industry, tacticians and scientists to develop the bombs and test them over and over. Caine said the weapons development resulted from supercomputer-intensive modeling and simulation and hundreds of real-world test shots. This is a good article and describes the 15 year effort of a few folks that concentrated on this fordow target. The bombs were specifically made fort the target. Fascinating. Good read. msaprt

The real issue here is that a liberal won a seat on WI supreme court and she along with the others denied the Ds the ability to redraw district maps for the 2026 election. That is the core argument here. RV was convinced that this new liberal court would right all the wrongs perpetrated on the Ds. I just found this result refreshing. mspart

"who said men don't have an advantage in most sports?" RV your question reveals that you are saying that men have an advantage in most sports. That is how that deconstructs. That being the case, why is it your position that we should not stop men from competing against women in most sports? Then why allow them to compete. Because it is such a small issue? Shouldn't it not be done because of what you just said, that men have the advantage? I could deconstruct your statement further to say - men have an advantage in most sports and that is why there are mens and womens sports because they are for men and the other is for women. This is also what you are saying. So why do you support men competing with women? It doesn't matter how many do it or whatever, it is wrong and you have now admitted that it is wrong and your position that this is not an issue that we need to be concerned about is wrong. When under 15 can completely destroy adult professional women in soccer, there is no question to this topic. It is not a strawman, it demonstrates the fallacy of those accepting men (trans women) competing with women saying they are women too because they say they are women. There are plenty of people that have said Trans Women are women. There is not even a question about that. mspart

True. In my 4 years in Hawaii, I became enamored of Polynesian life and culture. I think it is fascinating. They were quite a fierce people, incredible navigationalists and seafarers. I really found it very cool their traditions etc. I found a book by King David Kalakaua called The legends and Myths of Hawai'i. Fascinating book regarding life and culture and traditions of Hawaii, and by extension Tahiti and Samoa. I have friends from NZ that said Hawaii life has a lot of Maori in it. Apparently the language is very similar. mspart

Specifically palestinians against Israel. Saying he wants global intifada is a global violent uprising against Israel. You don't get much more anti-semitic than that. He can try to back talk that all he wants, but that is what he said. He can cry crocodile tears for being called an anti-semite. But he used the words and he is not apologizing for it. Tough to see it any other way. mspart
