Who's cutting onions in here?!

To be fair, neither did another single player in the entire league. Victor Wembanyama swept the votes and became the first unanimous victor in the NBA's history of the award.

There have been states which have had mail in voting for years. Oregon voters have long cast their ballots by mail in many types of elections, including for local, state and federal offices. They started doing so in 1987 and have voted exclusively by mail in all elections since 1998. And they're not alone in having a fairly long history with mail in voting. yet you trumpians never had an issue with it until the 2020 elections. When you lose you always claim it's because the other side cheated.

No noticeable voter fraud has been committed.

In the highly contested state of Pennsylvania, Heritage data goes back 30 years and covers 32 elections with over 100 million votes cast and found only 39 cases of voter fraud.

The percentage of fraudulent votes in Arizona over the last 25 years of elections was a minuscule .0000845%, and no election outcome in the U.S. has ever been altered by ballot fraud.

Creative fictional writing is an occupation you may wish to look into. I can tell by your post you have been reading such work from others. Because your imagination is in no way rooted in facts.

Cool story. Since the FBI does it to, we should just allow non-profits to do whatever they want, right?

I guess a good defense for murder is "our militaries do it all the time!


Are they required to under the laws associated with a nonprofit to have certain transparency?
- You betcha.

Did they disclose these actions to donors?
- Heck no.

If everything was on the up and up, why did they mask payments from entities like "Fox Photography" and "Rare Books Warehouse"?
- Great question.


Not really something I care too deeply about, some of the practices and the names on the list seem rather suspicious though.

Great news YTown! Thanks for the update.

The president criticized the court’s decision to strike down his tariff authority and acknowledged a possible ruling against his birthright citizenship policy.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday harshly criticized both liberal and conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, he called Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson a “low IQ person” and rebuked the court’s conservative bloc.

"The Republican Justices don’t stick together, they give the Democrats win after win," he said.

Trump also denounced the court’s 6-3 ruling that he lacks authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, calling the decision a “travesty.”

"Their Tariff decision was an unnecessary and expensive slap in the face to the U.S.A., and a giant victory for its opponents," he stated.

The president also raised concerns about a potential ruling against his effort to end birthright citizenship. Earlier this month, several justices appeared skeptical of the policy, and Trump acknowledged they “probably will” rule against it.

"Certain “Republican” Justices have just gone weak, stupid, and bad, completely violating what they “supposedly” stood for," he said.

This is not the first time Trump has criticized the Supreme Court. In March, Chief Justice John Roberts broadly referenced hostility toward the court, saying, "It's got to stop."

This is the first president in my lifetime who I have seen have such open disdain for the Constitution and openly shows that loyalty to him is something he deems more important.

He also stated, and not for the first time, that no other nation has birthright citizenship. If you guessed that was a lie you would be correct..........

Map: Here are the countries that allow for birthright citizenship

There are more than 30 countries highlighted that have birthright citizenship on this map...

I am planning a trip to visit Iceland for a week.

If anyone has had recent experience it would be helpful.

Anything that may be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Bump.

Still millions of missing files/pages from the Epstein files. Trump allegations all hidden and removed.

Funny how people will believe there is a paedophile sex ring with the Clintons out of a basement of a Pizza joint in Washington DC - or how the Clintons assassinate political rivals .... but when it comes to something that slaps you in the face, a poem about shared secrets and a signature from Donny .... there is disbelief.

Daman -

I think you go way, way overboard -- or you maybe fire from the hip not caring -- way too often. But - this post is dead nuts on the money.

- Iran was not 2 weeks away from a nuke.
- Either we didn't obliterate their capacity 9 months ago - or we lied to go to war. Take your pick. It's actually most probably both.
- Netanyahu definitely played Trump and led us into this war which he has tried to scaremonger us into for 20 years.
- There was no real plan and definitely no exit strategy when Iran didn't instantly capitulate - hence the empty threats and constant ratcheting up of rhetoric which is Trump's only play and he hasn't realized Iran does not care.
- Yes Hegseth is incompetent and has small man syndrome
- Firing the military and intelligence personnel was foolish and short sighted.
- 1000% get your allies on board before you launch an attack they all determine as illegal - and don't insult and demean them constantly when they stick to principals and adhere to international law.

The brilliance behind trump's war with Iran......

1. You can't lose if you don't have specific goals.

2. In order to confuse your enemy you must first confuse yourself.

3. If you don't know what you're doing neither does your enemy.

Just wondering out loud here. If spending money on cow fart capturing assistance for farmers is better than spending on research .... I wonder if the scope of the study actually includes research into the best and most efficient way to capture cow farts? Because who else is going to do it? Industry drives innovation ... but there is no great demand for cow fart capturing services/devices. Spending money helping farmers capture cow farts inefficiently or ineffectively helps no-one in the long run.

Just an idle thought reading the back and forth. Bottom line is I would bet that a miniscule fraction of the budget was anything related to cow farts. But it sure does make a nice headline.

This was a weak draft class for DTs . There is no Dexter Lawrence in the draft

Joke. Sarcasm.

Ohio State Lands 4-Star Offensive Lineman Jimmy Kalis
Kalis, a top-ranked recruit from Pennsylvania, commits to the Buckeyes' 2027 class.

Ohio State football has secured a commitment from 4-star offensive tackle Jimmy Kalis for its 2027 recruiting class. Kalis, a standout at Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, is ranked as the No. 30 offensive tackle and No. 308 overall recruit in the nation according to 247Sports.

Why it matters
Landing a highly-touted offensive line prospect like Kalis is a major recruiting win for Ohio State, which has built a reputation for developing elite talent on the offensive line. Kalis' commitment further bolsters the Buckeyes' 2027 class and keeps them competitive in recruiting against other top programs.

The details
Kalis, listed at 6-foot-6 and 280 pounds, announced his commitment via Rivals' YouTube channel, with fireworks going off in his backyard as he broke the news. In addition to Ohio State, he held offers from schools like Texas and Georgia. Kalis was the starting left tackle for Central Catholic High School in 2025, helping the Vikings to a 13-2 record.

Kalis announced his commitment on April 17, 2026.

I wonder when Travis Bazzana will get called up.

He is 23 and the first pick. He is on the clock.

Shocking to me that the Braves lead MLB in era. Three starters are in rehab.

They lead MLB in hits, runs scored, Xtra base hits, run differential +55 and era.

Stunning.

Since this is a SCOTUS thread I thought I would just post this here. I'm wondering how anyone who espouses this kind of BS over the public airwaves could ever be an impartial juror on the SCOTUS?.............

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America

He said values in the Declaration of Independence have "fallen out of favor."

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Wednesday delivered a televised broadside against progressivism, a political philosophy he described as an existential threat to America and the principles that founded it 250 years ago.

“Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government,” Thomas said in a speech at the University of Texas Austin Law School pegged to the nation’s upcoming milestone birthday.

A spirit of “cynicism, rejection, hostility and animus” toward America -- by Americans -- has taken hold, Thomas said in remarks carried live on CSPAN.

Thomas, the Supreme Court’s senior conservative member, spoke broadly, not referencing specific contemporary events or political figures to make his case. But his comments come at a critical time for the sharply divided country and the Court.

He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans -- a trend perpetrated, he argued, by “intellectuals” and the nation’s colleges and universities.

Thomas also said he believes many people no longer believe “all men are created equal” and deserving of “unalienable rights” protected by a limited government.

“[Progressivism] holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government,” he said. “It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.”

The 77-year-old justice was appointed by Republican President George H.W. Bush in 1991 and is one of the longest-serving justices in history. He is a staunch conservative and has been a reliable vote in favor of the Trump administration's positions in cases.

Thomas said Washington has been overrun by elected and appointed officials who lack commitment to “righteous cause, to traditional morality, to national defense, to free enterprise, to religious piety or to the original meaning of the Constitution.”

“They recast themselves as Institutionalists, pragmatists or thoughtful moderates, all as a way of justifying their failures to themselves, their consciences, and their country,” he said.

Thomas called on Americans to stand up for their principles and endure personal "sacrifices," if necessary, to preserve the nation's democracy.

“In my view, we must find in ourselves that same level of courage that the signers of the Declaration have so that we can do for our future what they did for theirs,” he said.

I heard. The part you missed is the blockade is to stop ships leaving that have met Irans requirements...like being just ships that paid tolls or are friendly to the regime. We are simply meeting their blockade on one end of the strait with one of ours on the other. They aren't going to be in control of which ships enter and exit the strait.

We stop when they stop.

Welcome aboard, Preacher1. We are all trying to keep the faith. Browns need all the help they can find! LOL Bard

For many years to come!

Good for you! I'll toke to your sobriety tonight. 👊

.

I believe the Browns feel that with this defense if they can have an improved offense they can contend in the AFC North. They need to finish the Oline rebuild and find some more weapons at receiver and hope that either Sanders can take a leap in his development or Watson somehow returns to 2020 form. If neither happens and the team gets off to another bad start to the season, I expect Garrett to get traded at the trade deadline. Many experts are saying the 2027 draft class has potential to be one of the best draft classes of all time. I do not see the Browns trading him before then because this draft class is not seen like that. There will be 3 receivers maybe more that will have a higher draft grade than Carnell Tate. Let's face it if Arch Manning were coming out this year, he would be #1 overall before Mendoza. Dante Moore will also be rated very high at QB and a few other QBs are viewed as 1st round talents at this time. That class is being viewed as being deep at the marquee positions QB, WR, and DE.

Mice hate peppermint and also ammonia will deter them (smells to them like cat pee)

I remember when I liked in Michigan. I must haver been 9 or 10. We got a mouse in, and set a trap. We caught it pretty quick. My mom couldn't take it out, so guess who had to do it. lol Never saw another though. We set further traps, but never had them go offf, or had the bait disappear.

I just had problems logging on...finally shut down the putter went threw the entire log on process again..it worked..!
