I read somewhere ( don't recall where..) K Costner has become a bit of a college football fan and contacted Kiffin about coming to an LSU game. Also as mentioned earlier, Kiffin and Costner are friends.. So you know the rest...

SA needs to spend that money on an army and arms to go in there and take all of the Houthi's rats out and be done with that problem.
Its my understanding the Saudi's don't want an effective fighting force because they are fearful of the possibility of that same force kicking the Saudi family to the curb...

Every day. I tell my wife , my daughter, my son and my grandkids. I’m 60 and have had health problems the last couple years. The last thing I want them to remember is I told them “ I love you “
This... I am not a "touchy feely" kinda guy but at 68 I am not taking for granted they know how I feel..
beside that, I want my messaging to override what the outside world may be telling them..

IMO.. While he is not wrong.. IMO he is not totally right either...
I think if the need to intervene militarily was really there, then a leader would have made a convincing case to the American Public... That was never done.
One of Trump's problems is this.. he tends to just say "trust me, we had to do it." Thats not good enough for the American Public...
So if the Iranian military action is justified (not getting into that question here..) then Trump should have made the case for it in the beginning...

...For the times, they are a-changing
As a soon to be 68 year old LSU fan its difficult to explain the truth of this and how deeply it resonates on so many levels..
I was a child when the Bear stalked the sidelines in Tiger Stadium... man it feels like the sun setting on an era...
So its with heartfelt and fervent passion I say one more time... Bama Sucks!
:lol: :cheers:

The most important distinction is that being a great executive for one era doesn't automatically mean you're building a great team for the next era.
On the other hand... Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I think SP had more to do with their draft success than Loomis. Its beginning to look like Loomis hiring Peyton was just dumb luck and it made him look better than he is.

Catholics are Christians, just in case you are not aware, the Catholic Church was the first Christian Church and was for centuries.
While I know the Catholic Church's official stance is it started in the 1st Century after the day of Pentecost, the truth is all churches will trace their roots to the same time. Most historian agree the Catholic Church as an institution began with the Edit of Milan on Feb 13, 313 AD.

Your point is well made. Any form of doctrinal purity is absolutely not sustainable in real life... not with your spouse, kids, friends.. anything...
this type of binary/zero nuance thinking is a form of political suicide...

Seeing their dad make ones head explode or the guts blown out..... nope, not traumatizing at all.
Good Grief....
I am 67 years old and I have never met a child over the age of 4 that did not understand the basic principle of protecting yours and those around you... Having both my parents entire family from the country where pigs were slaughtered, Squirrels were skinned, Deer were gutted and dressed, Chickens were raised to have their necks rung, plucked and prepped for dinner.. I have never met anyone at any age (male or female) that ever communicated in word or deed anything indicating that life was "traumatizing"...
