  1. If true. Help me understand what’s wrong with that ?
  2. Which one of y’all said Obama didn’t drop any big bombs on the Middle East …. Just drones. He dropped over 100,000 bombs totaling over 25,000 tons. The largest non-nuclear bomb the U.S. used under Obama was the GBU‑43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (“MOAB” or “Mother of All Bombs”), deployed on April 13, 2017 in Afghanistan Key Details Bomb Size & Use: The MOAB weighs nearly 22,000 lb and was dropped from a U.S. Air Force MC‑130 aircraft onto an Islamic State–Khorasan cave complex in Nangarhar Province Effectiveness: Reports stated it killed up to 94 ISIS-K fighters, with no clear civilian casualty evidence Bombing in Arab Countries Even though the MOAB struck in Afghanistan (not an Arab country), Obama’s administration did conduct many heavy airstrikes across Arab-majority nations: 2016 alone saw 26,171 bombs dropped across seven Muslim-majority countries, including Arab nations like Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia, though none were the MOAB The bulk of those munitions — over 24,000 bombs — targeted Iraq and Syria as part of Operation Inherent Resolve
  3. Here is a good one. Transcript provided. First half is John Kirby explaining how they (Iran) won’t be able to use the $ for nefarious things. That we would know what the $ was used for. Second half is after a large withdrawal where they ask John Kirby what the $ was used for and he says I don’t know. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8r4UFvD/ 00:00:00 --> 00:00:03 We'll have visibility, and we'll be able to engage in oversight 00:00:03 --> 00:00:05 about where the money was going 00:00:05 --> 00:00:06 and for what purpose. 00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 If Iran tries to divert the funds, 00:00:09 --> 00:00:12 we'll take action and we'll lock them up again. 00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 And there will be sufficient oversight 00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 to make sure that the request is valid 00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 and that it's going through. 00:00:18 --> 00:00:18 Uh, uh, 00:00:18 --> 00:00:21 vendors who we. Who we and the cutteries can trust 00:00:22 --> 00:00:25 will actually contract for the goods, 00:00:25 --> 00:00:26 the medical equipment, the food, 00:00:26 --> 00:00:29 whatever it is. The regime doesn't get to touch the money. 00:00:29 --> 00:00:32 Peter doesn't go to them. They don't get to the. 00:00:32 --> 00:00:34 They don't get to decide, uh, 00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 ultimate destination. Uh, 00:00:36 --> 00:00:36 and, uh. 00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 And they have no direct access to it. 00:00:38 --> 00:00:39 Um, John 00:00:39 --> 00:00:42 Iran made two transactions 00:00:42 --> 00:00:46 withdrawing from the previously frozen funds in Oman. 00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 What were those transactions for? 00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 I don't have the details on that, Jackie. 00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 You're gonna have to let me get back to you on that.
  4. Creative. Too lazy to do it. Pretend one of those blue haired cry baby videos is below.
  5. Why do some say the hardest thing for a freshmen to adjust for is learning how to get off bottom then ?
  6. So just not one. Got it.
  7. Here’s an enhanced breakdown of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) earnings in U.S. college sports—covering which sports earn the most, and how payouts differ by gender: Sports Receiving the Most NIL Compensation By Sport (Total Compensation) Football: Leads by far—accounts for 45–55% of all NIL moneymarketingbrew.com+15on3.com+15boardroom.tv+15on3.com. Men’s Basketball: Typically second—around 15–21% of the totalnilcertifiedathlete.com+6frontofficesports.com+6athletebrandsnil.com+6. Women’s Basketball: Earns 18–26%, making it the top female-earning sport businessinsider.com. Women’s Volleyball: Takes about 6–8%, sometimes ranking third in number of dealsen.wikipedia.org+15on3.com+15on3.com+15. Other sports (baseball, softball, gymnastics, etc.) share the remainder: Baseball: ~3.6% nypost.com+14frontofficesports.com+14houstonchronicle.com+14. Gymnastics can be highly lucrative per top athlete, even if its total share is smaller . Football & Basketball: Black Dominance in Top Deals Many of the highest-paid NIL stars are Black. For example, three of the top five NIL earners in 2022–23—Bronny James, Shedeur Sanders, and Caleb Williams—are Black and each earned well over $2 millionmarketbeat.com+14researchgate.net+14swishappeal.com+14. Black athletes are overrepresented in these revenue-driving sports (e.g., ~47% of FBS football and ~59% of DI men’s basketball rosters) .
  8. QAnon is not a Christian fundamentalist organization in the formal sense—there is no church hierarchy, doctrine committee, or membership roster like in traditional religious institutions.
  9. All Catholics are in that bucket boss.
  10. And ended it apparently. Funny how that works.
  11. Go back and look. I bad mouthed his age long before his Iowa commitment. I stand by my comment. He can vote and serve in the military as a junior in high school and there is something wrong with that.
  12. Who can vote and serve in the military already. I remember the psu faithful trashing Bartlett’s wife a little while back. That was classy.
  13. Got a better way to get more illegals out quickly?
  14. Overall, Muslim perpetrators are responsible for more terrorist attacks and fatalities globally, but Catholic extremists are extremely rare and account for a negligible share. Here’s a detailed breakdown: Global Perspective In a comprehensive dataset of 151,583 terrorist events (global, up to 2021), groups identified as Muslim-affiliated(i.e., Islamist) were responsible for 51% of attacks and 69% of deaths From 1979 to 2021, at least 48,000 Islamist terrorist attacks occurred worldwide—mainly in Muslim-majority countries—resulting in over 210,000 fatalities Catholic-driven terrorism (or Christian extremist attacks) make up only a minuscule fraction of these global numbers—no comparative statistics exist, and no large-scale Catholic extremist group operates comparably to Islamist or secular factions.
  15. How many of these are at the top? In the U.S. (as a sample), the National Center for Education Statistics counted for 2020: 189,692 professors 162,095 associate professors 166,543 assistant professors 96,627 instructors 44,670 lecturers 164,720 other full-time faculty — totals to roughly 824,000 full-time faculty

  17. Don’t ceasefire’s always occur this way? The Armistice that ended fighting in World War I was signed at 5:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918, in a railway carriage in the Compiègne Forest of France. The ceasefire was scheduled to take effect six hours later, at 11:00 a.m. Central European Time—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month". Despite the agreement, fighting continued during those final hours. Some commanders, particularly in the American forces under General John J. Pershing, chose to press on with offensives until the last moment. This decision led to significant casualties on the war's final day. Estimates suggest that approximately 11,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or went missing on November 11, 1918. Of these, around 2,750 were killed.militarytimes.com+3history.blog.gov.uk+3legionmagazine.com+3militarytimes.comcwgc.org Notable among the last casualties were: Henry Gunther (USA): Killed at 10:59 a.m., just one minute before the armistice took effect, making him the last American—and possibly the last Allied—soldier to die in the war. George Lawrence Price (Canada): Shot by a sniper at 10:58 a.m., he is recognized as the last British Empire soldier killed in action during the war. Augustin Trébuchon (France): Killed at 10:45 a.m. while delivering a message to his unit. His death was officially recorded as occurring on November 10 to avoid the embarrassment of acknowledging combat deaths after the armistice was signed. These final casualties underscore the tragic reality that, even with peace agreed upon, the war's toll continued up to its very last moments. ww2 too When was the ceasefire agreed upon? May 7, 1945 – At 02:41 am CE(S)T in Reims, France, Germany’s Chief-of-Staff, Col. Gen. Jodl, signed an unconditional surrender covering all fronts—land, sea, and air—under Eisenhower’s supervisiondefense.gov+15theguardian.com+15cmohs.org+15. May 8, 1945 – A second, diplomatic signing took place in Berlin at 22:43 pm CET, led by Field Marshal Keitel, to placate Soviet demands theguardian.com. When did it take effect? The armistice came into force at 23:01 CET on May 8, 1945,
  18. Obama bombed 7 countries that we know of. How may forever wars did you accuse him of starting?
  19. Soooo. I’m supposed to understand Iowa will pay millions for athletes via some elaborate poaching scheme but they won’t buy a few plane tickets (for the best recruit ever) or get one of the Iowa wrestlers to house one of them or simply rent an apartment in Iowa city for a few k a month. got it. Ok.
  20. We have all said or heard the quote “parents are the worst”. As it pertains to kids sports. Now it’s not historically true that there is $0 money in sports for kids ….. I.e. the statistical probability to make the nba or mlb or nfl or whatever is very small. That is true. But the awful parents were a thing trying to get their kids to that level of impossible. Nil. Colleges paying $$$ etc is going to make that phrase 10000x worse because the $ available now is statistically much higher than the past. i am not arguing don’t pay the kids but we don’t even grasp yet how bad this will get
  21. Bassett will not pop for peds. That’s my prediction.
  22. Next thing you’re going to try to get me to believe your real name isn’t scourge. I’m gullible, but not that gullible.
  23. Do you ever take a break boss? Do the gremlins that are running around inside your head ever stop?
