The FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have consistently identified white supremacist, Christian extremists, and anti-government extremists as the most significant domestic terrorism threats in the United States. While these ideologies are often associated with Christian nationalism, the agencies have not specifically labeled "Christian extremists" as the primary threat.hsgac.senate.gov+1hsgac.senate.gov+1 Key Findings from Federal Assessments FBI and DHS Threat Assessments: Reports from 2021 and 2022 highlight that racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, particularly white supremacists, pose the most persistent and lethal threat. These assessments also note an increase in violence from anti-government or anti-authority extremists, including militia groups and anarchists. hstoday.us+1files.gao.gov+1files.gao.gov+3fbi.gov+3whitehouse.gov+3 Senate Homeland Security Report (2022): An investigation found that the FBI and DHS had not effectively tracked or reported data on domestic terrorism, despite requirements from a 2019 law. The report emphasized that white supremacist and anti-government violence are the most significant terrorist threats facing the nation. hsgac.senate.gov+1hsgac.senate.gov+1 FBI Director's Statement (2020): FBI Director Christopher Wray stated that the agency's top priority is preventing terrorist attacks, from any place, by any actor. He noted that the nature of the threat posed by terrorism—both international and domestic—continues to evolve, with domestic violent extremists being a significant concern. fbi.gov Understanding the Threat Landscape Christian extremist groups like the Army of God have been involved in violent acts, such as anti-abortion terrorism, they represent a segment of the broader domestic terrorism landscape. The FBI and DHS focus on a range of ideologies, including white supremacy, anti-government sentiments, and other extremist beliefs, when assessing threats.en.wikipedia.orghsgac.senate.gov

Is he also an antisemite now? Suddenly there was a big switch among the MAGA right. Despite Trump supporting Israel, there's a lot of "Isreal controls the United States," talking points suddenly(well, since Oct 7th 2 years ago).

I have two very close relatives. One is 25 years in the FBI. My Uncle had long hair, he was a hippy, kinda a stoner. But he shaved his head and got a hat like Walter White had in breaking bad. He looked JUST like him. He was traveling with my Aunt in their RV and they stopped in New Mexico and he looked just like Walter White with the Gotee and hate, shaved head. So he took a couple pictures and posted them. His son called and made him take those down because they were glorifying a drug dealer and would reflect badly upon him. Not long after that, he re-posted a meme with Ellison from Minnesota and Tlalib and Omar(both of whom had 72% or more in their races) and quoted Bin Laden about how "we will take America down from the inside." Now...I don't like Tlaib or Omar all that much(Ellison was a good, reasonable man IMO). And then his own personal post, "Just like Bin Laden promised, they're taken them down from the inside. How are we allowing this to happen. The other one was in the Navy 20 years and very high ranking, he talked about approving Afghan interpreters getting Temporary Protected Status...(which we're taking away and sending them back to get slaughtered)... He never said how much say he had, but he just talked about a few guys YEARS later and how they helped(he was in Intelligence, he wasn't on the ground so far as we know). But he agreed and he liked it. Yes, I think Muslims are a bigger threat in the Middle East due to a number of issues, partially how the US has used them, how they've been to War, how they've interfered, but mostly... they come from theocratic Countries. I've found that Muslims in the United States are just happy to be here.. And the statistics bear it out, the Christians IN AMERICA are far-far more likely to want to take down the Country or commit acts of terror.

Also...this; https://www.reuters.com/sports/report-uncs-rj-davis-uscs-juju-watkins-have-most-nil-deals-2025-04-02/?utm_source=chatgpt.com JuJu Watkins has been hyped up like Clark. So the most NIL are a black woman from USC and a black CBB from NC.

Lets START by remembering these are ESTIMATED deals. We found out after Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark, the greatest women's CBB player of all-time was making less than the "Bayou Barbi." Now, my issue with this list; You're taking a YouTube video that is ranking the 10 BEST players in the NFL draft. Look at the ranking of the 10 BEST every year...and then look at the Mock Drafts. You'll have as many as 4-5 QBs going in the top 10 picks. BEST and Most important are very different... but this guys list is also just AWFUL. This is just a lazy list off ChatGTP but who are going to be the highest paid? 1-QBs from the The top programs(or at least the most well funded program...UT is the #1 Athletic Dept in the Country in Revenue). LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Miami, Tennessee, Clemson...the typical powerhouses. 2-The BEST of the BEST at other positions. And when I say these are just estimates, I know Kayden Proctor, the LT from Alabama is at LEAST in the top 10. You remember what Matt Rhule said about the poor QB play at Nebraska? "If you want me to go out and get a good QB, I'm going to need at least 2M or he's going to go somewhere else." Nico Iamaleava is a clown. He tried to force Tennessee into paying him more and ended up stuck in the portal and I think he ended up at UCLA. And this list by the time the draft comes will DRASTICALLY change. Sanders was high on this list last year. Right behind Travis Hunter. This list is bad as Nussmeier is the favorite to go #1 as Arch Manning is expected back and is leaves off the QB from South Carolina...Lanoris Sellers or something like that...a Jalen Hurts type QB with a better arm(as a College QB). But Miami has UGA transfer Beck. Drew Allar at PSU has been one of the top prospects since HS. Clemson QB Cade Klubik Arch Manning since he was one of the most highly pursued QB in CFB History... THOSE are going to be the guys who get the most NIL money. It was Caleb Williams two years ago. That you think this is about a social media following... I mean, I don't know if you're a CFB fan, but that's ridiculous. No...I don't. I think it's a ridiculous question, but again, that's a NICHE sport, but...what Women have dominated endorsement deals for the last 20 years? The Williams Sisters and Simone Billes. So...I guess I do know the answer. Yes. They would. Who was the top paid Women's athlete 3 years ago? The year Caitlyn Clark, the VASTLY superior Basketball player but less attractive athlete or Angel Reese? Angel Reese...she was making 1.5M despite the fact she is...so bad at anything but rebounding. Dunne is a COMMPLETE outlier. Lets go to last year; So #1 QB from the MANNING Family. #2 Black QB from the Sanders family(but also from Colorado which doesn't have the money the top programs have). #3-The first non-QB. Travis Hunter. Why? Because he was the best player in CFB last year. #4-The starting QB for Texas. #5-the #1 overall pick in the NBA draft and one of the most hyped Basketball prospects in years(domestically, Wemby was up there with LeBron in the last 20 years). #6-Black QB from Alabama #7-Black QB from Miami #8-AsianQB from Oregon #9-Samoan QB from UT...who cost himself money. #10-Carson Beck...who was lured away by Miami(who has the largest NIL collective). #11-1st Rd draft pick Jaxson Dart #12-Drew Allar QB PSU-The #3 overall recruit and a top 5 projected draft pick #13 Garrett Nussmeier QB LSU and the projected TOP PICK in the draft. This should be obviously by now. This year... who are the top? Manning remains #1(3rd straight year). Beck, who'd led UGA to SEC Title Games and the CFB playoffs took the money from Miami Jeremiah Smith, a FRESHMEN last year at WR DJ Lagway, a guy who sat behind Graham Mertz last year LaNorris Sellers, another FRESHMEN who is in the top 5. So #3, #4, #5 are black. If you really don't think this is a meritocracy... you're living in the past. This isn't the 1960s Alabama team refusing to play Black CBs. This is a multi-billion dollar industry. These programs...and the people running it WANT TO WNI. You're going to see this change year to year. Why was Carter Starocci and Gable Stevenson the highest paid Wrestlers? BECAUSE THEY WERE THE BEST(well...Gable ended up losing, but you get the point).

It's not obvious to me. It's obvious to me that POSITION and marketability plays a role. People tried to do this with Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark, suggesting Clark got paid because she was a "pretty white girl." Someone then pointed out that'd be like saying Larry Bird got deals because of his good looks. But even then, that'd make more sense as it was Boston in the 1980s. No, sports is a meritocracy now. It's just like the NFL. Running Backs aren't making less because they're primarily black, they're being paid less because the position has become undervalued. These schools want to keep the best players. If Jerimiah Smith, a guy who'd probably be a top 3 WR in the NFL RIGHT NOW...wasn't good, he wouldn't be getting ~5M in NIL. But he's a freak WR. He's like a mix of Julio Jones and Calvin Johnson. The ONE area I can't speak with as much confidence would be Women's niche sports. We all know why Livvy Dunne getsa paid. Are there Black Gymnasts who are as attractive and as high profile that aren't? I don't know. I know Simone Billes and Serena Williams made a massive amount of money in endorsements(and continue to).

Do you lack the ability to pick up on ALL context? Go back and read the thread, what post did I agree with? Explain to me where I made ANY inference that there was ANYTHING wrong with that? Why are you the only one that needs every position explained?

Cool. I don't know what you're babbling about today, but you still...shockingly couldn't answer the question. Who said; Just asking who ever made this claim... You guys sure like the "liberals say...." and then...kinda make up your own little theories, don't ya?

Yeah, 95 to 106 is 11 pounds. I know that Math can get difficult, but...not 9 pounds. And that's over 10% of his body weight. That's a BIG difference. That's a 150 having to Wrestle ~170. You asked me on another thread why I cared so much about a cease-fire. Why do YOU care so much about a kid being held back a year so he's ready to compete or MORE ready to compete given everything that's at stake for some of these kids? Live changing NIL money. Just 200K at 19 years old is tens of millions if invested right by retirement age. You have an odd metric for "deplorable."

You were part of a thread in which I was literally arguing they should have used more MOPs if they were not certain they could stop and completely destroy Iran nuclear facilities with this strike. So again, you have to be...just comically stupid or asking this question as a precursor to another question. There's not a chance this is a sincere question. So just get to it already. This is like the 5th time you've asked something I've addressed probably 20-25 times, including in conversations WITH YOU.

Read the thread. Read the last 2-3 pages. I've been SO abundantly clear on this, it's not a "valid question," it's a stupid game you're trying to play. You'd have to be Scout/Jimmy-level stupid to not understand at this point.

Yeah, no, I get that. I'm saying if you push back, they can't deny you and they're certainly not going to deny you in a high profile case that's on ESPN. I worked in health care for a period of time. I understand how corrupt it is. They still can't just deny a legitimate claim... So whereas I understand they may deny treatment for normal people from time to time, they need to have a valid reason for denying a transplant as Askren is certainly going to have the resources to challenge the Insurance company.

Why do I care? THIS is the extent of what I said about it; And gee...lets think. Why would I possibly care about a cease-fire as opposed to escalating the conflict? Man...you got me. Just...silly, huh?

Wonderful. Do you have any point or are you just going to keep asking stupid questions like "do you think Iran should have Nuclear weapons?" As for the asinine and pedantic, argue with Trump; https://x.com/i/status/1937486228229697823

Yeah...that is is a simple question. When you change a word and ask of out nowhere "6-12 hours in prolonged," I didn't know what you were asking. But yes, by definition...it is prolonged. Do you know what "prolonged" means? So I said...with no political bend to it, that I find it odd we're saying we're going to have set a cease-fire so you can launch off another attack...and then Trump said the same thing. So again...what are you even arguing? The definition of words? AGAIN...some of you really need to figure out what the hell you're even arguing. You also just asked if I thought we should allow Iran a Nuclear Weapon...and you're asking ME about MY reading comprehension?

Oh Christ... I've posted probably 50 times about what I thought about the bombing and of Iran. If you're still asking this stupid ass question, it's rhetorical or to set up another stupid question, so...please just get to it.

Cool. Lets play that fun little game... Trump said Obama, Biden and Harris would end up bombing Iran because they don't possess his negotiating skills. Trump-Ends up being the only one to bomb Iran after pulling out of an agreement with Iran and not being able use his negotiating skills.

In prolonged what? What are you asking me?

... yeah, that'd just be more proof that pulling out of the JCPOA was... a bad decision. But that's why it makes sense to scout. It's basically logical dyslexia. Why did they drop out in 2018? Scout-Iran wasn't following the agreement. His evidence... 'you're naive if you don't believe it. Scout-Iran was months away from a Nuclear weapon. His evidence.. the exact same group that said they were abiding by the agreement in 2018. Why does he believe them in 2025 but not 2018? -He never believes Government agencies. -When pointed out it's not a Government agency... I think he just makes fun of people who plow snow...for some reason.

Right Wingers last 4 years- there wouldn't be any war with Trump Right Wingers Today- It's a good thing Trump was there to bomb Iran! You're like a hacky 80s comedian. "Black Guys talk like this...white guys sound like this." That's...always been abundantly clear. You may be shocked to learn nobody on here has visited recently... though it's on my bucket list for a tourist destination. But based on the early reporting, it sounds as if they do. The main one. The one we used 12 MOPs on.

I agree. SOME need to work on both. The people arguing the Country that's so close to Nuclear Weapons that it's imperative we bomb them while also arguing...they need a prolonged period for a cease fire because they have "iPhone in caves," are definitely struggling with both reading comprehension and deductive reasoning.

Yeah...he had that hip done, that would have been a few hundred K...or you pay 1600 a month for your family. I'd be shocked if he didn't. And of course, it has to be medically relevant, I was just listing reasons it could be denied and... it being experimental or low risk was the only plausible one I could find. The rest, he takes care of himself, he's got the resources to follow up on a post-transplant regiment, he has a support system. Basically, without knowing any of the details, you can check off the majority of reasons they could decline. So medically necessary, experimental are the two I don't know about...BUT, his wife certainly made it seem necessary.

I don't know...I didn't see anyone say such a thing. Do you know who you're arguing with here?

What is the argument now? Which Religion is more dangerous and prone to fundamentalists attacks? This can't be a real discussion. Domestically-Christian Fundamentalists Globally-Muslim Fundamentalists This shouldn't even be a discussion. This is a predominately Christian Nation, ergo, you have MANY times more "Christians" who commit acts of terror. Globally...even though there are more Christians, there are MANY times more fundamentalist Muslims and they pose a far bigger threat. As for the videos of who is more insufferable, someone praying to Trump or crying to Trump or some...self diagnosed "neurodivergent" person crying... they're both impossible to watch and equally ridiculous.

Yeah, I understand that. But in a case that's this high profile...really in any case in which someone needs a transplant, you have people at the Hospital who will help you with the Insurance. For lesser things...even medications, they will deny, but this is on ESPN. I'm not expecting purity from Insurance companies, I'm expecting pragmatism. And I would think Ben's wife and all the people around him would be pressing and looking for questions. He has Dana White in his corner. So it's making wonder if they're using a legitimate reason to deny the claim.
