The alternative is do nothing. That helps no one. Guardsmen know the risks when they sign up.

Wrong. The alternative is to beef up real law enforcement with a concerted effort to lower crime. More police/ detectives/ State Troopers.
And as far as the alternative helping no one, I think that those Guardsman who got shot would disagree.
If they are there to put down riots or to guard or keep buildings safe, then I would agree that they are needed. But anybody who did not see this tragedy happening months ago is pretty blind.
Yes, if they are there, they need to be armed. But here's the thing...they never should have been there in the first place. As soon as they were sent, I said to my son, who is in the National Guard, that Trump is just making them targets. Then this happens. The Guard is not trained to do urban policing. Having them there serves very little purpose, except to mildly suppress any street crime in their immediate patrol area. DC is full of criminals and far left extremists. Combine this with the current political climate, and it makes standing around on corners to fracking' dangerous.
There are two ways to look at this:
1. What you posted is true - can't evaluate the head coach due to lack of talent.
2. The lack of talent is just cover for KM being a bad coach.

Impossible to know yet, but next year will say a lot about not only his coaching ability, as well as his drive to shape the team to his will.
I've known many gamblers over the years, and one thing will always be true:
they always tell you when they win, and they never tell you when they lose.

And they will still tip better than the people coming in for the game.

Reasons Kiffin would leave LSU:
1. He is let go b/c he isn't winning.
2. He retires.
3. Involved in a scandal big enough to get him fired.


The NFL? You know, he wants a crack at it again.

Even Oliver Stone said that Sutherland's character was completely made up.

It just occurred to me that she is probably looking for someone with a hairless chest, and just went a little overboard.
Agreed...they both have fake hair.
My thoughts are that not every Boy Scout troop is woke and it really depends on where it is located. My son is still in college, but he acheived Eagle Scout, joined the Army National Gaurd (in Georgia). He got deployed to the North Sanai desert for a year right after all the shite started in Isreal. He's back at Kennesaw State now.

First, RIP Jimmy Cliff ( favorite song- Sitting In Limbo)
I am a big fan of British ska, 1978-1990:
The Specials (kings of British ska IMO)
UB 40
Madness
English Beat

I also like Burning Spear and the Mighy Mighty Boss Tones.
My first cousin lost his 9 yr. old daughter in the Camp Mystic floods this past summer. His older daughter survived. He's also an LSU grad.

He will probably will lose the Jewish vote.
Go talk to any veteran state trooper about what he has seen on the highways over the years, and I think that you might change your mind.
The Vikings were the best team in the NFL that year. They just could not prove it that day.

The things that you mention are a direct result of capitalism. The worst parts of capitalism, but capitalism none the less.

The implication of orders being unlawful are seditious.

Not in this case. A federal judge has already ruled that Trump's deployment of the National Guard to DC violates federal law.
Oh, and in before "but, but it's a Biden judge..."
