The Russians claimed to had Hitler’s skullcap for years (there were rumors Brezhnev used it as an ashtray). Then DNA tech came along, and it turned out to be a female in her 30’s.


Eva Braun was 33 when she died.
In addition to a Weber Kettle for charcoal grilling, I have a Cookshack electric smoker. The Cookshack makes surprisingly good smoked Pork Ribs, and smoked Boston Butts. Not quite as good as smoked with charcoal, but pretty dang good, much easier and more forgiving.

re: 900 year prophecy on the Pope

I thought Pope Francis was supposed to be Peter the Roman.



I think that is right. I think people are trying to twist this Malachi prophecy at this point.


Pope Francis wasn't named Peter either before, or after, becoming Pope (although all Popes have the Peter association). Pope Francis was Argentinian. He was ethnically Italian, but his ancestors were from northern Italy, not Rome. All Popes could be considered as Peter, and being Roman, since they live in the Vatican. Why would the prophecy choose to identify Pope Francis as "Peter the Roman"?

I hope she's right about that.


So am I, but if she's tried in New York, I'm afraid a jury there wouldn't convict her even with a videotaped confession.

You're not. Not only was he fired, his boss was also fired for not supervising him properly.

Cotton Eyed Joe? Seems like a good nickname for him.

Some of you are way too comfortable with the SOS potentially being able to just revoke legal residency status on the basis of political speech alone.


Wasn't he present at, and facilitated, protests that took over University buildings, and disrupted the ability of other students to attend class? That alone goes past political speech.

I searched again just now, and found the same image. It wasn't the second image in my search, it was below about a dozen images that weren't her (I searched on my phone). Not bad looking based on that image. You have to question anyone Mayorkas would appoint to an Immigration job, he was a waste of oxygen.

Mahmoud Kahlil Immigration Judge

It looks like Mahmoud Kahlil ended up with a favorable immigration judge in Louisiana.

Louisiana Immigration Judge

Jamee Comans, she was appointed in 2021, so Biden's AG, Mayorkas, appointed her. Oddly, Google won't respond to searches for a photo of her, or her political affiliation.

Not a popular take, but the talent of even our starters took a sharp downturn over the last 4 or 5 years. You could blame it on a lot of possible factors. The relentless drain of early entries to the NFL draft, extra competition from Kirby for the same type of elite players, NIL allowing many schools to basically buy players rather than establishing relationships to recruit, etc. (yes, I know we play the NIL game, too, but NIL really diminished one of Saban's strengths).

Marshall Pritchett is out for the remainder of Spring Practice with an injury (knee?). Hopefully, he'll be ready to go by Fall Practice. Sort of thin at TE for this Spring even before Pritchett got hurt. I think Josh Cuevas and Jay Lindsey are now the only scholarship TEs left for Spring

re: So did Hitler really die during WWII?

Posted by Tupelo on 3/31/25 at 4:48 pm
I have read that the Soviets recovered Hitler's body from the burn pit outside his bunker. Stalin kept this discovery secret to screw with foreign intelligence agencies. He was buried in the Soviet Union, dug up periodically, and relocated several times over the years. There wasn't much left in the way of remains to begin with, and eventually they were totally destroyed.

Hitler was in terrible health, and probably wouldn't have lived very long after the war, anyway. He had Parkinson's like symptoms and looked like a frail old man.

Does this lead you to believe that our NSA shouldn't execute a meeting of the minds of the USA leadership to decide if we should bomb civilians in the poorest country in the Middle East?

No, not in the least. The Houthis are a threat to international shipping, including US shipping, and are a very worthy target. They deserved what they got and more.



Or maybe one of them snuck JG's phone number into one of Waltz's contacts?

I wouldn't rule it out. It's certainly possible.



Or maybe Waltz is just a dumbass and added JG by mistake rather than JX?

Possible, but that hasn't been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.



Or maybe Waltz wanted to embarrass Trump, and Trump allowed him to?

That's not very likely at all.



Waltz was indeed, the Counter-Intelligence lead of Dick Cheney's staff. Crazy how he landed this position and Trump is allowing his ineptness to cloud the leadership team.

It hasn't been determined how the most rabid anti-Trump journalist was added to the chat. That was quite the coincidence that of all people he was the person added.

Signal Messaging Creator

Posted by Tupelo on 3/27/25 at 9:59 am
I stumbled across something interesting on Wikipedia today. The creator of the Signal Messaging Service, and the Signal Protocol it uses, is Matthew Rosenfeld, AKA Moxie Marlinespike. He was formerly head of security at Twitter, among a bunch of other technology ventures. He's probably incredibly rich, I haven't checked his net worth. He's also a hardcore anarchist.
Someone else who's been in the news lately, Katherine Maher, CEO of NPR, was chair of the Signal Foundation prior to being at NPR.

Absolutely, Goldberg should receive a visit from the FBI, have his residence searched, phones seized, etc. The full colonoscopy.
Hegseth wasn't the one who added the journalist to the chat, was he? Why blame him unless you just have an ax to grind?
