Let me be the first to thank the Dems
Posted by Wildcat1996 on 7/10/26 at 11:10 am
for their heartfelt concern and well wishes for Senator McConnell’s health. It was truly touching to read Governor Beshear’s thoughtful and prayerful remarks that clearly came from the heart as they were read on the morning local news in Lexington.

You really have to wonder what was the motivation for Walz to pardon a child sex offender to prevent his deportation.

This is a really prickly topic.
I don't think people that go into aid work do so to exploit the poor. However, if the poor are provided just enough to survive there is little incentive to get out of poverty. Their basic needs are met.
Similar arguments have been made about international aid. By example, no one can create a sustainable business model to produce clothing or shoes in a country like Gambia because international aid agencies dump used materials into their markets. Even if the shoes and clothing are showing a good bit of wear, it is impossible to compete with free.
No one wants to see the poor suffer, but I am not sure these efforts aren't counter productive. I don't have an obvious answer to this problem.

Literally everyone knows the Beach Boys song.. you dont even have to be ancient like me.
The fact that some of y'all think it's some inside joke says a lot about the average level of logical thought and comprehension around here .
The joke isn't about the Beach Boys, it's about a John McCain off the cuff comment at a town hall meeting that went viral when that term actually meant something. And it was used against him in his campaign against Obama.
NBC News
quote:
Republican presidential contender John McCain, known for having a quirky sense of humor, joked about bombing Iran at a campaign appearance this week.
In response to an audience question about military action against Iran, the Arizona senator briefly sang the chorus of the surf-rocker classic “Barbara Ann.”
“That old, eh, that old Beach Boys song, Bomb Iran,” he said in jest Wednesday, chuckling with the crowd. Then, he softly sang to the melody: “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, anyway, ah ...” The audience responded with more laughter.
His quip was prompted by a man in the audience who asked: “How many times do we have to prove that these people are blowing up people now, nevermind if they get a nuclear weapon, when do we send ‘em an airmail message to Tehran?”
The campaign stop was in Murrells Inlet, S.C.
quote:
The episode echoed President Reagan’s 1984 quip at the height of the nuclear arms race when he said: “My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”
Reagan was testing a microphone before his regular Saturday radio address.
The latter of these events sparked an international incident.
Now go enjoy your pudding. You aren't nearly as intelligent or well-read as you think.

lack of relegation in US pro leagues
I would love to see relegation in both college and professional sports. No one loves crapping on the Euros more than I do, but this is something they have right.
Think about college football with this system in-place. You go a couple of seasons without being competitive in the CFP eligible league, someone else gets their shot and you go down to the lower level.

I saw some of this on my Social as well. What the hell is wrong with the American Left? They are actively cheering for a US loss in international competition just so they can claim a "victory" over Trump.
That is some serious brain rot.

Such a foolish thing to do for a business. You may lean red; you may lean blue, but the color of money is green and if you want to keep the doors open you'd better be willing to serve everyone.

This happens in Cuba and Puerto Rico pretty frequently. They always find a way to patch it back together with bubble gum and duct tape.
Reminds me of my time in Haiti and on Eleuthera. Everyone just accepts the fact that the power will work some times and not others. When you can, you run the washer. When you can't, you wait until you can. It's just a way of life in that part of the world.

re: It looks like Trump got Balogun reinstated for the Belgium game
Posted by Wildcat1996 on 7/6/26 at 9:04 am to SelaTiger
Belgians are challenging the decision.
AP News
Let's talk plainly. The Belgians want to win and the eligibility of one of our best players is in question. They challenge, fine.
We want to win, think the call that got his red card was egregious, and want him eligible to play.
What is the real issue here? Why are a collection of Americans lining-up to to defend the disqualification of a US player? Do they think he's a dirty player?
AP News

The Belgian soccer federation wants explanation from FIFA about a decision to let U.S forward Folarin Balogun play at the World Cup despite getting a red card in his previous game.
Belgium takes on the United States later Monday for a spot in the quarterfinals.
The Belgian federation (RBFA) said it has still not received either “FIFA’s decision or any explanation regarding this matter. In these circumstances, it has no choice but to challenge the player’s eligibility for the upcoming match.”
It did not specify where it intends to appeal FIFA’s decision.
U.S. President Donald Trump intervened on behalf of star U.S. forward Balogun, whose red-card suspension was lifted in a decision that allowed him to play against Belgium.
The Belgian federation said it learned through media reports about the FIFA’s move and sent a letter to the governing body requesting a copy of the decision as well as an explanation of the process.

I really can't imagine getting to a space where I cheered against my country because my party doesn't occupy the White House. I wasn't a fan of Obama, but why would I root against the US Olympic Team because he was in office?

Why doesn't anyone ask about the photographer?
I mean, he/she just happens to be on the subway when 20+ dudes in masks board and stand adjacent to a black woman...who makes eye contact with the photographer to pose for a photo op with a bunch of dudes hiding their identity with masks?
And these white supremist types all stand in line hanging on the rail while she comfortably occupies two seats? These guys are the worst racists ever.
