  1. Odds that Gomez wrestles for Michigan this year? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Because you refuse to listen to what I’ve said elsewhere on this topic, multiple times: We are sending them NOS stuff slated for destruction. It was replaced multiple times before it made its way to UKR. Also, Israel can handle Iran. Chinese troops were/are trained by Russians, and if they are smart, they are taking a long, hard look at their levels of readiness. Because if Russia is who you look yo to train your force, you have real problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Again: return per dollar sent. What you showed is that blue states get more money; I’m arguing that they don’t get ENOUGH and that red states get TOO MUCH aid as it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/27/kurt-volker-the-full-transcript-215868/ Search “three” in that transcript. Same here: https://www.dailysignal.com/2017/12/04/ukraine-beginning-look-lot-like-christmas-lot-less-like-russia/amp/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. It's actually pretty concerning how many times ol' Doug MacGregor has been featured on pro-Russian media, either in writing or actively participating. I have to wonder if he's a registered foreign agent. https://www.rt.com/news/574936-macgregor-ukraine-war-chances/ https://www.rt.com/russia/560893-former-pentagon-adviser-russian-offensive/ https://www.polygraph.info/a/fact-check-how-russia-uses-retired-us-colonel-s-ukraine-misinformation-for-domestic-propaganda-/6972765.html
  6. Man, for as many times as that dude has videos announcing the end of Ukraine, it's really weird how much progress they've made in pushing Russia back towards their own borders. Also, Doughlas MacGregor regularly appears on RT, a Russian state-run media outlet that has what I'll call a very shake relationship with the truth. Here are some of the titles that Stephen Gardner has produced on his YouTube page: "Ukraine is collapsing". "Ukraine is collapsing". Another video with the same title. "Ukraine is DOOMED". "Ukraine will be DESTROYED".
  7. A Ukrainian soldier died once every 3 days from Russian fire during 2017 until the full-fledged invasion in early 2022. That's a higher death rate than we had in Afghanistan in 20 years there.
  8. Are you being willfully ignorant here? Like, are you really this naive? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I really hope not. I hope he comes to the NLWC but doesn't wrestle for Penn State. If he wants to train with Cael, Varner and Snyder, great. He's good friends with Kerkvliet and would make him better.
  10. I’d be fine if Gable moved to Evanston to get his MBA, while wrestling for the Wildcats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I really hope he stays at Minnesota. That program needs some good news. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Yet less than a lot of red states with fewer military bases. They literally get less back per dollar sent than ~45 other states. That’s the point. So, again, CA gets less federal funding per capita than many red southern states despite having many more federal installations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I read the transcript. Multiple times, in fact. First time, a long time ago. She said “Eff the EU” because they weren’t doing a damn thing. No sanctions, no military aid, nothing. What do you think she meant? The US has a vested interest in…US interests. As well as the mutual interests of other countries in the area, such as Poland, which not only hosts quite a few US troops but also shares a border with both Russia and Belarus.

  14. So, CA has more military bases than almost all of the poorer red states, yet still comes out with a lot less federal funding? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. If you’re going to say it was “proven” to be incorrect, show us. Show me proof. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. A fabrication of the Kremlin, amplified by the CCP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. 1) Your source is an account called TrumpsCards. 2) The leak was done by Russia. You’re amplifying whatever perspective Russia is trying to put out here. Congrats, Comrade. 3) What exactly do you think indicates that the US is responsible for Russia invading Ukraine. I’ll make it easy, as this happened in 2014 and it was news AFTER Russia invaded…in 2014. Here’s a link to the transcript. Quote anything that you think indicates the US had anything to do with it. I’ve read it, and I’m not sure what you think is “there”. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957.amp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  19. You might want to read the article, note that it’s from 2017, and wonder what tax policy/law has been passed since then. Also, the first three paragraphs: WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican leaders have spent months promoting the myth that red low-tax states are subsidizing blue high-tax states because of the deduction for state and local taxes. An Associated Press Fact Check finds it’s actually the other way around. High-tax, traditionally Democratic states (blue), subsidize low-tax, traditionally Republican states (red) — in a big way. Republicans are trying to eliminate the deduction as part of the sweeping tax package working its way through Congress. They added back a deduction for up to $10,000 in property taxes, in a concession to Republicans from high-tax states such as New York and New Jersey. California Republicans are pushing to extend the deduction to local income taxes, too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. Please cite a source. Nothing I’ve found suggests anything higher than 0.70. https://smartasset.com/data-studies/states-most-dependent-on-the-federal-government-2022 https://wallethub.com/edu/states-most-least-dependent-on-the-federal-government/2700 https://www.moneygeek.com/living/states-most-reliant-federal-government/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Are you honestly suggesting that Florida’s state tax policy has anything to do with FEDERAL taxes in California? We have reached a new level here. You cannot be helped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. That dude sucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. If California contributes $300 and gets $195 back, and Mississippi contributes $50 and gets $130 back, please explain how my “blue states fund red states” stance is wrong. Where do you think that money for Mississippi comes from? Hint: Those are the actual ratios of contributions vs returns for those two states. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. You think the average Floridian is working cane fields? Really? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
