  1. I've been around since Moses, and I've seen so many "peace" agreements announced - then dashed, faded or crushed away. What's different this time? Seems it's really down to what POTUS has added to (or over) the mix. Anyone care to speculate on what types of inducements were offered both the Israelis and Hamas to make this a different type of peace? I haven't seen any compelling offerings from the parties which might offer insight into the ingredients of this new dawn for Gaza.
  2. Lovely. Part of the sadness I feel about asinine comments like these, is that they are driven by the stereotype of Charlie Kirk, and not the facts. All you have to do is watch a few of the clips from his "encounters" and you discover he was none of the nasty things he's being called right now. The level of ignorance-fueled hate is, as always, unbelievable - but expected from the left.
  3. Of course, there's Biden's false claims. Just posting for balance, of course: https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/19/politics/fact-check-biden-pennsylvania-campaign-swing
  4. Radio traffic posted on X:

    That about sums it up. He built the team, then screwed the pooch (supposedly). Something needs to change at RB (list current issues here).
  6. https://notthebee.com/article/the-supreme-court-allows-trumps-trans-ban-to-take-effect-immediately This may well be really hard on the Navy.
  7. Interesting interaction between Whitmer and POTUS this evening, with a gift from Trump?: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/macomb-county/2025/04/29/donald-trump-selfridge-air-national-guard-base-retiring-fighter-jets-macomb-county-michigan/83332234007/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJ-VKVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFWRzNlUGtoS2lNOXJ1UkRjAR4U2ZwfOo_-YOo6KhCTIxANZ1qOtgugbUamFhqUfYAiiQlwfKN5wCApyHBkVQ_aem_hOGZv8sA4ZhAwrbCXOxQig
  8. Sounds like a good time to buy. LOL PS: I'm going to buy some shares this afternoon, might wait until tomorrow.

    LOL, the guys from Pease had their shtick (sts), and that was it.

    This season continues to be interesting, looking forward to more a more competitive season. This just in, both Ferrari's have DQ'd
  11. I believe the statute or code/law does not specify how a pardon may be signaled/codified by the President. Apparently, both Obama and Trump I used the auto-pen on a number of occasions, including the signing of Bills. So WTF - anything goes?
  12. Actually, it's a good time to buy!

  14. Sorry to just throw this in here, but here's what the RAF is getting up to: RAF facing pilot shortage after diversity scheme backfires
  15. And yet, to me, this is clearly what was planned for. Interesting, that not one of Trumps world-wide detractors has thought this a plausible scenario. And the EU is seen in a huge group picture, now pledging to take care of the situation.
  16. The full video has been posted in this article from NYPost. Trump let Zelinski have both barrels: https://nypost.com/2025/02/28/us-news/trump-says-zelensky-disrespected-the-united-states-of-america-after-heated-oval-office-clash/
  17. There aren't any actual controls inside one of these things, right? Oh, and apparently this is an actual mission (of some kind). Katy Perry, Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez heading to space with Blue Origin’s historic all-women mission https://nypost.com/2025/02/27/us-news/katy-perry-gayle-king-lauren-sanchez-going-to-space-with-blue-origins-all-women-mission/
  18. You may have missed it. Tax cuts do not have to be a zero sum gain. Tax reductions (if structured correctly) result in increased revenue. So no, we're not thinking about giving up toys in order to provide tax relief of some kind to the masses.
  19. I absolutely know two people who have not logged-in/engaged with their Federal workplace for months (maybe longer). All due to a lack of supervision. Remember, POTUS and crew are trying to shake things up, not gently approach from six-o'clock.
  20. The thing on my mind is Keir Starmer deploying UK boots on the ground in Ukraine (as he's suggested he will do). Will we keep our precious blood out of that and let the UK loose there?
  21. Thank you! I am looking for a Labrador like that, which I can use for hunting pheasants later this year.
  22. It sounds like you know what it will look like (in Gaza) under the Trump management of Gaza. Can you please share with us, what it looks like to you (bases, troops, bulldozers or hotels, just what?)

    I thought I had read where she was not recovered until 24 hours after the other crew was recovered (thus the delay)?
  24. et voilà ! Mexico president makes deal with Trump to pause tariffs for a month, put 10K troops on border
  25. Yes, most folks don't understand that Trump is using these as a leverage for negotiations. I'll argue in that vein (sts) that it is working so far, he has reactions from everybody who's been "tariffed." Otherwise he would be like the previous POTUS, who sat there with hi d*ck in his hand, doing nothing.
