I have a friend who knows a professional gambler. This gambler says that he sees members of the team at the casino after midnight many nights. I have no idea whether it's true or not but, it seems to explain some of what happened this year. What I can't figure out is if that is true and I know about it, Jay surely knows about it. Either he thought it wouldn't affect their play or he thought they're adults and can do what they want with their free time. If my head were on the chopping block, I would consider life360-ing every player on the team and have someone watching their every move or make them live in a dorm or something. I'm not going down because some 19 year olds are trying to act like regular kids. If you want to go to the casino and your stats suck, you're off the team. You made your choice

Again, I don't know if that's even true and I'm certainly not running the top amateur baseball program so Jay could probably convince me differently. Just an observation from the outside.

But I had the same feeling about BK. If I were the AD and I found out he wasn't at practice 100% of the time, vacationing during the season, not talking to recruits, I would have had someone watching his every move and I would have disciplined him for not doing his job. Oh, you don't like being treated like this by your boss? Then do your job or walk but I'm not going down because you decided to soft retire. You're going to get the job done or you're going to hate your job so bad that you quit. Someone is probably going to say no coach is going to work for someone like that yet they do it all the time. Coaches are egomaniacs and love the challenge/expectations/attention. I think setting a standard says something positive about the institution, not something negative.

My overall point is, if it is true and it did affect their product on the field, that's incredibly disappointing coming from Jay. Having said that, there's not a another coach in america I would rather have to turn things around

He's accomplished some important things that previous presidents have either ignored, made worse or did very little about. Like the border or the middle east or tariffs.

I'm wrestling with things like certain people still walking around free 1.5 years into his presidency: Bidens, Clintons, 2020 election fraudsters, USAID fraudsters (not the small time people like the Somalians, the handlers above them), J6, russiagate, Barry, Soros, Fauci, etc. I know those things are not 100% under his control but they are largely under his control. There are still 2.5 years so maybe something will be done but the fact there appears to be no movement or mostly just lip service makes me have doubts that anything will happen and that is causing me to grow increasingly disappointed.

My point is he's mostly corrected things that can be undone. He hasn't handled things that are permanent or lasting, like incarcerating the largest fish. It looks to me like precisely zero big fish have been affected in the slightest which means when he's gone, all the problems come flooding back. He's been able to exert influence over the effects but not the causes.

I saw your idiotic post in another thread where you said the US created this problem. It's compulsive for you, isn't it? To just say stupid things.

How did the US create Islamic terrorism? Are you about to say something customarily stupid like "If we would just leave them alone they would leave us alone?" Why don't you just add that those poor dirt farmers are just upset about the inequalities in life and they're just looking for jobs and access to water.

The US is causing this disruption

Yes, the US invented Islamic terrorism, back 900 years ago. It's an amazing feat actually given that the US didn't exist as a country but, somehow the founding fathers pulled it off.

You can try to spin it

Spin what you fraud. Spin that the worst people on the planet are trying to get a nuclear weapon? Spin that Russia and China were getting a foothold in proxy regions, including the western hemisphere and we FINALLY have a president with a brain who can combat them on a global scale?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Honestly, I have never, NEVER come across a person who was as wrong as you are on basically every topic you comment on. It's astonishing. It's got to be some kind of world record - most wrong person ever.

Africa - still in the stone ages and killing/driving out about the only productive people in S. Africa

Europe - perhaps the most precipitous crash and burn in history

Asia - 3rd world countries except for Japan and S. Korea. Indians bathe in rivers of raw sewerage and crocs.

Australia - run by people who are perhaps more idiotic than their European cousins

Canada - enough said

S. America - 3rd world countries run by warlords or cartels who consistently squander incredible resources

How do you know there isn't one? Are you in the Pentagon every day getting briefed by the highest levels of the military? No

Oh let's just let the Muslims have free reign over there. Did you know they broke a deal?

quote:

---

Stop letting Israel drag us into crap

:lol: You think Israel is the cause of Muslims attacking us?

Israel and the US have the same enemy and Israel is our best ally in an extremely complicated region. It behooves us to work with them.

what’s the long term fallout for Americans all over the Middle East and worldwide?

Genius, there's already "fallout." How do you think we got involved to begin with

Does nothing for Americans here. But keep cheering on more waste in money and lives

Oh just let the Islamic terrorists who want to destroy you and your family and your country have free reign over there in the ME. That's a great idea.

So this has been floating around and yet the Clintons haven't sued O'Keefe or suicided Prager. Interesting

O'Keefe, who's been doing this for at least a decade, never lost a court case, has uncovered bombshell after bombshell, but he totally made this up. Exposed by an anonymous rando on the internet.

Why would he make this up? Everyone knows Clinton is guilty as hell. He would be risking everything to make up something that's already public knowledge.

refuted by the DOJ

Again, probably not the most reliable organization on this particular topic. What Prager said is totally believable and the DOJ doesn't look exactly squeaky clean.

Wait, what? You think the Epstein saga is a conspiracy? Like, what parts?

quote:

frivolous lawsuits

---

How do you know they're frivolous? You don't.

quote:

---

filed by hookers who were of age when they associated with Epstein

So you're saying you have proof that in all the years Epstein/Maxwell were operating, they NEVER trafficked anyone who was a minor? That seems EXCEEDINGLY hard to believe and very naive

We know of three actual underaged victims.

Oh so there were some. ONLY 3?

Cannabalism? Devil worship? Ritual sacrifice? Small children snatched off the street? There have been zero credible reports of any of that

Ehhh. That's not exactly true. But you do you

You're calling pedo rape "off a cliff"??

quote:

---

Ped believes it because it turns him on and HE WANTS IT TO BE TRUE

I can't speak for that individual but I know there are good people all over the country who are deeply concerned about this issue. Not to mention that people who get a glimpse past the redactions come out changed people. And why are powerful people being taken down as we speak if it's so nothingburger like you say?

Trafficking is a major, major problem in our country. Hell, there was just a thread today or yesterday about yet another person getting arrested. Hundreds of thousands of children lost by the Biden administration. But then people get all hard skeptical over the Epstein story. "Conspiracy"

refuses to accept that it's transparently bullshite

Prager's story? DOJ response? Epstein saga? What are you referring to?
