This is Trump's war now.

He didn’t start it.

He’s tried to make three different deals to end it and been subverted by Schumer and the Dems, the EU and Z.

Exactly how is this Trumps war? Be specific.

Right now though Duke has looked amazing. Tennessee still has to get past Houston and they’re favored but I’d love to see Zakai vs Flagg. That would be a genuine David vs Goliath matchup.

I’m not sure Tennessee has a single player that would start for Duke and that includes Ziegler.

Look at the mock drafts: they all have Proctor and James about Ziegler.

But setting that aside the issue with Duke is their perimeter size: 6’6/6’6/6’7.

They took away any easy looks for Bama and bullied the undersized guards in the paint and on screens.

Anyone can win on a given night, but there’s a reason Duke is rated 3 points higher than any college basketball team in history right now by Ken Pom.

The two teams capable of hanging with them are AU and UF, but neither of them are playing at peak right now IMO.

The only thing I agree with is the last line.

If Z won’t sign a peace deal tomorrow I’d cut supply lines, cut support and walk away while telling Europe in writing that the US will not enter any engagement with Russia relative to the current conflict with Ukraine and any attempt to invoke the NATO charter as a result of them becoming further involved or taking out Putin will require us to exit NATO permanently.

You can buy a Z06 for a base 911 price, and I think a lot of guys will.

That’s exactly the debate I’ve had and while I was hoping to have a backseat, the z06 would be much easier to maintain until a Porsche dealer opens closer to where I live.

I’d also considered the CTS-V / CT5 Blackwing, I’m just not a fan of buying first year GM products until they have the issues worked out and I’m not sure it hits quite the same way as the 911 and Vette.
They’re all misfit toys.

The #1 rule on the island of misfit toys is “if you don’t mind me being a dentist, I won’t mind you having a red nose”.


So they all pretend to accept the other people’s mental illness as long as their quirks don’t get questioned.

LOL. No. Nothing tickles me more than watching dumb fricks in the art world forget, as Michael Jordan said, "Republicans buy shoes too". As a long time artist myself, I can guarantee you I'd fire the frick out of someone I was working with if while on stage, they shite on liberals. I love shitting on libs as much as the next guy but THAT AIN'T THE TIME/PLACE and THAT AIN'T WHY I'M THERE!!!!!

As the great philosopher Lil Jon once said “don’t start no ****, won’t be no ****”.



That actress started a whole lot of **** and now here we are.

Agreed, and there is no way to address this without making it overtly political because the AMA, AAMC and many bar associations have become openly political.

Porsche builds all the 911s in Germany and the price increase will be immediate, should the tariffs hold.

Having shopped for these on and off both new and used since Covid hit I left Porsche off my original list for a reason: those MFers can pretty much get whatever they want for the turbos in particular.

The only vehicles I see on the road that I get a little jealous of are well restored classic cars (which are the coolest vehicles out there IMO, but having dealt with them in the past it’s like being in a bad relationship with a hot social media influencer and not worth the drama) and 911 Turbos.

The turbos I have no defense for other than my lack of want to spend what they can get for them because they’re fast, fun, relatively reliable and bring the sex appeal.

I’d go as far to say anyone backing Waltz should be purged from the admin because they aren’t smart at all.

I just would need to know about the reporters in his phone.

If he’s been heavily in contact with reporters his “mistake” doesn’t look like a mistake at all.

Flynn would be a better pick either way and the response of the war hawks in Congress to this in going after Hegseth rather than Waltz sure makes it look like it was a takedown op.

BMW will not "eat costs".

In the short term they’ve already announced they will.
Car and Driver - BMW will cover short term tariff costs

Keep in mind all their SUVs are already US sourced:

“Zipse was quick to point out one of the biggest advantages BMW has over other – particularly European luxury – automakers. Plant Spartanburg in South Carolina provides production for all of the US market’s BMW SUVs – and much of the rest of the world’s, too.

“The X3 and X5 are huge sellers for the brand, with the X3 being the brand’s best-selling model in 2023. Not bad – especially when you consider the 2023 X3 was the second to last year that specific generation was in production. It sold around 350,000 units.”

BMWBlog: BMW Shielded from Tariffs by US Production

Longer term is TBD, because they just opened a huge production facility in Mexico for the 3 series and M2. As of now they plan to increase prices for those vehicles.

“While BMW has outlined a strategy for its Mexican-built models, it has remained silent on German-produced vehicles—such as certain 3 Series trims, the i4, iX, and other models exported directly from Germany.”

Flynn then?

That would be my pick.

This is NOT why they are doing it. If you don’t understand them you will have a harder time fighting them.

I agree with your take on the blue haired leftist take, but they aren’t really running this show and never have been.

quote:

Pursuant to your “rule and control”, there is a faction - the WEF type - who are riding this multi-cultural train and for the purpose of gaining control of supra-national, unelected bureaucracies like the EU and UN. These are the enemies most to be feared.

These are the people I was referring to because they are the ones setting the agenda and their plan is absolutely to subvert our institutions (check), replace the US population (in process), achieve control (not yet) and replace our government with one world control (see the rest of the entire west).

I don’t think people yet fathom how close we are to seeing them achieve their goals and regardless of anyone’s personal feelings towards them the only two men I see standing between them and their march to victory are Trump and Vance.

I don’t think there are currently 20 republicans who are really MAGA in all of congress, many are just pretending to go along with it to achieve power like we saw with the tea party movement because they know that’s what their base wants right now.
quote:

It doesn't help any of us to pretend that Trump is being serious about acquiring Greenland, Canada, or the Panama Canal.

I think he’s dead serious about Greenland and the Panama Canal.

He views those as pre-reqs for a solid defensive posture in the western hemisphere.

If we can’t switch naval vessels from the Atlantic to the Pacific because our greatest rival controls the canal that’s a massive issue and it makes it impossible to be less interventionist if we have that liability in our strategic defense.

Greenland is rare earth and blocking subs and anything coming out of Europe or Russia.

Canada I don’t get outside of not allowing China to have a presence militarily which apparently they’ve begun to establish, but while we don’t need them as an alliance member, we cannot allow them to be a puppet state for the CHICOMS.

Look, im pretty sure that is what I stated. He’s as tall as he can be. Fast as he can be. Shoots as good as he can. He is what he is and he’s been a badass for us. In other words, he is as good a defender as he can be.

Long athletic guards were his kryptonite all season which is why I cussed as soon as I saw Duke as the #1 seed in our bracket.

We were a 2-seed. So yeah, getting absolutely blown out, dominated from start to finish, and losing by 20 is fricking embarrassing.

The guards were horrible outside of Philon tonight but we played one of the most talented teams in recent CBB history IMO.

The two teams I didn’t think we could handle were Duke and UF and unfortunately we ran into Duke on a bad night.

Tough way to go out, but if we play that team 10 times I don’t think we end up with more than 1-2 wins. They’re just built different.
