I don't care about their nuclear program. Too bad so sad

Let Israel handle their own problems. They started the war

We can't give it to them. We have the pilots that know how to fly the planes that drop the bunker busters

Iraq & Afghanistan didn't have an air defense either. How did those nation building efforts go? We're heading into a disaster here. Maybe Trump will back down though, like he did on the tariffs. You never know with that guy. He blows back and forth like the wind.

LOL. He needs to consult with Netanyahoo, his boss, before he makes such a decision.

Absolutely. The Israeli government is the scum of the earth. Neten Yahoo can burn in hell.

I never heard of that idiot until now. He's a true moron. If what he said is true, they'd hate every non-muslim country roughly equally. That isn't even remotely close to reality. Israel is enemy A1 and we're enemy A2, even though most of the countries around the world are non-Muslim. Can you add 2+2? How about trying to actually talk to somebody from that part of the world instead of listening to this random ethnocentric idiot?

If you ever talk to somebody from that part of the world, they'll tell you that the main reason why people over there hate us so much is because we do whatever Israel wants and give them massive military and financial aid. Basically, they see us an extension of Israel, by far the most evil country in that part of the globe. Your entire argument is premised on the assumption that we need any dirty work done there whatsoever. If we simply minded our own business, we wouldn't have nearly the problem that we do. Incredible ignorance from the right. Are you one of those wingers that thinks people over there hate us because of our "freedom" and our "Christianity?" Keep drinking the Kool aid.

History has taught us that we won't just "walk away." When Israel tells us to bend over, we merely ask them "how far?"

Let's go to war (once again) in the middle East, for the purpose of a regime change. Just like we did in Afghanistan and Iraq. What could possibly go wrong. Another waste of money and lives. Let's send the Republicans over there to fight since this is something they feel is so important.

Provided. The only way you can't see this is if you're immersing yourself in right-wing Fox echo chamber.

The hypocrisy of the right continues to be laughable. They don't want protesters wearing masks in LA but if they're police - well that's perfectly fine.

What a dumb statement. We've made enemies with many countries across the globe. It doesn't have to be Iran, necessarily.

He literally lies every time he opens his mouth.

Them having one wouldn't be such a big deal if we didn't go out our way to make them hate us.

Well, we're supporting their invasion and threatening to attack Iran. Is that enough for you?

Once again, we do whatever Israel wants. We're literally their slaves. Hopefully the wingers aren't surprised when we eventually get nuked ourselves and/or have another 9/11 or worse. Nobody should be surprised that so many Muslims despise us. But the wingers claim it's because of our "freedom" and "Christianity." Not because of our countless invasions of countries in that part of the world and blind support for Israel's genocide. We're by far the most imperialistic nation in the world.

We could simply stay out of the Middle East and they really wouldn't be a threat to us. When we eventually get nuked or experience another 9/11, you shouldn't be surprised, given our imperialistic and aggressive international policies.

I can guarantee that Clark is more attractive to the average white person than Reese is. That matters because whites are spending a disproportionate amount of money on the products that the athletees are endorsing.

That list is the epitome of anecdotal. First of all, that appears to be international. Many countries are predominantly colored, so that makes it irrelevant right there. I'm talking about the United States, where almost all of the money is held by whites. Secondly, most of the top athletes in revenue sports are black, so you have to look at the endorsements relative to the performance in order to get a good picture of what is going on.

That's a lie. The AI assessment is based upon a variety of the most updated sources of information. To say that there is no white privilege anymore is a complete lie and, basically, just ignorant. It's not anecdotal. The athletes with the highest endorsements are disproportionately white, compared to their performance. There's some subjectivity related to the degree to which it's occurring, but any objective sources of information is going to admit that it at least occurs to some extent. Re: fossil fuel-funded "scientists," it's just consistent with the winger thought process. They decide what they want to believe and then cognitive bias runs the entire show. They reject almost anything coming from a government agency or university (studies by PhD scientists) and instead adopt whatever they like from their fringe winger information sources. The less credible the more they rely on it.

Being elected doesn't give anybody the power to do whatever they want. WOW, that you think it does. Scary. But only if they're Republican, right?

Yah. The AI must be rigged. I'm sure that's the common winger answer. All more reputable sources of info are against the wingers and the only real truth is found in the fringe winger sources like Breitbart, the Blaze and Fox News. Oh...and "scientists" that are funded by the fossil fuel industry.

Here's a simple AI answer. Not tough to look up. Racial disparities exist in athlete endorsement pay, with Black athletes, particularly Black women, often earning less than their white counterparts despite comparable or even superior athletic performance. This disparity is influenced by factors like media representation, brand perceptions, and historical biases, leading to fewer endorsement opportunities and lower valuations for Black athletes. Here's a more detailed look: 1. Limited Opportunities: Media Coverage: White athletes, particularly white women, often receive more media attention and are portrayed in ways that align with traditional beauty standards, making them more appealing to advertisers, according to some sports journalists. Brand Image: Companies may be hesitant to endorse athletes who don't fit their desired image or who might be perceived as controversial, even if those athletes are successful. Stereotyping and Bias: Athletes of color, especially Black women, may face negative stereotypes and biased perceptions that limit their endorsement potential, according to some sports analysts. 2. Lower Endorsement Values: Racial Bias in Valuations: Even when Black athletes secure endorsements, they may receive lower payouts or less favorable terms compared to their white counterparts. Historical Disadvantage: The legacy of racial inequality in sports, including limited access to training, resources, and opportunities, contributes to the current disparities in endorsement pay. 3. Examples and Insights: NIL Deals: While NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals have opened new avenues for college athletes to earn money, data from Opendorse indicates that Black athletes, particularly Black women, still receive a smaller percentage of the total compensation compared to their representation in college sports. Paige Bueckers' Perspective: Even a high-profile white athlete like Paige Bueckers acknowledges the disparity, stating that Black women athletes deserve more media coverage and recognition for their contributions to sports. Hispanic Athletes: Studies have shown that Hispanic athletes may also experience a significant reduction in endorsement earnings compared to their white and Black counterparts. 4. Addressing the Disparities: Challenging Biases: Sports organizations and brands need to actively challenge racial biases and stereotypes in media representation, marketing, and endorsement deals. Promoting Diversity and Inclusion: Companies should prioritize diversity and inclusion in their endorsement strategies, ensuring that athletes of all backgrounds have equal opportunities. Empowering Athletes: Athletes of color can empower themselves by forming their own businesses, advocating for social justice, and leveraging their platforms to create positive change. Media Responsibility: Media outlets have a crucial role to play in promoting diverse athletes, challenging harmful stereotypes, and giving equal coverage to athletes of all backgrounds, says a sports media analyst. By addressing these issues, the sports industry can move towards a more equitable and inclusive environment where athletes are valued and compensated fairly, regardless of their race or gender.
