  1. Pope Fetterman will make that call.
  2. 15-0 redshirt. Unbeaten freshman start.
  3. Great call after 7 matches and Nebby wins all the toss ups thus far.
  4. He had a bad outing at the soldier.
  5. The ref is 100% reviewing his own calls!
  6. 2 close matches to start, both going to Nebraska.
  7. Reservoir empty and offline.
  8. It’s a clear distinction like calling someone a genuine asshole. They should’ve got it done before the election though to clear the path for Kamala.
  9. Everybody has a price. Never has a President suggested use of force. Grok - Greenland has never been sold in the sense of a formal transaction where sovereignty was transferred for payment. However, there have been several historical attempts by the United States to purchase Greenland from Denmark: - **1867**: William H. Seward, then U.S. Secretary of State, considered buying Greenland alongside Iceland but did not pursue it after the Alaska purchase met with significant criticism. - **1910**: There were informal discussions, but no formal offer was made. - **1946**: Under President Harry Truman's administration, the U.S. offered Denmark $100 million in gold for Greenland. This offer was made secretly but was rejected by Denmark. This attempt was only widely revealed in 1991 when declassified documents were discovered.[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_the_United_States_to_purchase_Greenland)[](https://apnews.com/article/9d4a8021c3650800fdf6dd5903f68972) - **2019**: President Donald Trump publicly expressed interest in buying Greenland from Denmark, suggesting it was "essentially a large real estate deal." This idea was met with rejection from both Greenland and Denmark, with the Danish Prime Minister calling it "absurd."[](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/08/17/why-denmark-wont-sell-off-greenland/)[](https://www.npr.org/2025/01/07/nx-s1-5251168/trump-greenland) - **2024**: Following Trump's re-election, he again mentioned the idea of U.S. ownership and control over Greenland for national security reasons, but there has been no indication of Greenland or Denmark agreeing to such a sale.[](https://visitgreenland.com/american-interest-in-greenland/)[](https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2025/01/07/heres-when-the-us-acquired-its-territories-and-how-much-they-cost-as-trump-renews-calls-to-take-over-greenland/) Despite these attempts, Greenland remains an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, and its political status has evolved over time toward greater self-governance, though not full independence. The sentiment from Greenlandic leaders has consistently been that Greenland is not for sale and belongs to its people.[](https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/greenland-is-not-sale-its-leader-says-response-trump-2024-12-23/)[]( ) Therefore, while there have been proposals and discussions about selling Greenland, no transaction has ever come to fruition where Greenland was sold to another entity.
  10. Victor Davis Hanson’s analysis are always a good read. He’s a little tough on Kamala, apparently her home is in an evacuation zone.
  11. Ah ha! System was drained back in June!
  12. I doubt you are suggesting that California will not implement any changes after this because it would be futile. So what will have been learned that will result in major changes?
  13. A constant state of disbelief and disappointment.
  14. Yeah that’s funny. Every municipality has their own fire department staffed with volunteers. Risks are averted with hard labor. Keep laughing.
  15. Where I come from, every town has a water tower.
  16. Wasn’t there funding allocated several years ago to build more reservoirs and it didn’t get done?
  17. No, they will outsource it to China.
  18. Jayson Ness with 73 pins and one of the most dramatic title finishes over Daniel Dennis.
  19. If you know how Scott Jennings is making an impact at CNN almost daily, you wouldn’t have to follow the supporting Twitter link.
  20. Or China or Russia is already poised to take it.
  21. Could Nebraska be fighting the flu? It was reported Minnesota was during the holiday. Hopefully both teams have their starters ready to battle on Saturday.
  22. That could happen now with Turo.
  23. Save that. He’s one post from being banned.
