I will give you credit and you alone. I didn’t see any other Democrats on here denounce him. As to the party leaders the get zero credit from me. Only after his numbers slipped to the point where it was doubtful he would beat Collins did they change their tune. It’s my opinion that this happened now so they can replace him before the deadline for him to dropout. None of the leaders of either party do what’s right. Their only concern is winning.

"The bell-ringing event comes as renewed scrutiny surrounds Trump's personal finances. Last week's 927-page financial disclosure filing revealed that brokers acting for Trump executed more than 21,000 stock trades over the past year, a total that surpasses the known trading activity of every prior president during their time in office."

So...

They made 21,000 trades on his his behalf? and?

Ai/algo stock buying in real time is a thing and has been a thing several years.

now, do Nancy Pelosi

or people in congress

Some people still think all 42,319 instances of payouts and corruption are all so they can "keep their ears to the ground". Some people aren't really that smart though.

Agree with that. We also have more new blood to work our way through and a season without great expectations. Berry didn't want to do anything foolish in front of that.

And Oober, you're right, in essence Watson is the short-term QB. Can't cut him and the room would be way to crowded if we signed anyone else. If we trade Gabriel or Sanders, that could be a possibility.

It takes two to argue. But pretend you weren't just as much a part of it as I was. the weakness has been on your part. You seem to be unaware of how arch and I have sparred and how he only posts here in his feeble attempt to attack me but that's okay. I don't expect you to understand something you have no realization of.


Yes your pretentious act to dismiss how much more severe many infractions are by NFL players was hard for you to step up to the plate and admit. Of how I was right all along that in the grand scheme of things it pales in comparison to many NFL players actions. But you finally managed to do it.


You've been ignoring exactly that for days now.

We don't want communists running these institutions. It's a good job King Trump will remove them. They should count themselves lucky if they are allowed to stay in the county5

What Donovan Mitchell's $273M contract extension means for Cavs future, LeBron pursuit - CBS Sports
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/donovan-mitchell-contract-extension-cavaliers-lebron-pusuit/
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Donovan Mitchell agreed to a four-year, $273 million contract extension on Tuesday that includes a player option for the 2030-31 season and a trade kicker that would ensure he remains at 35% of the cap if dealt.

It's a massive commitment from the Cavs, but one they felt they had to get done to remain a top contender in the East. Despite another disappointing postseason exit, this time getting swept in the Eastern Conference Finals by the eventual champion New York Knicks, the Cavaliers have shown no desire to want to blow things up. Mitchell made clear after that series that he wanted to be back in Cleveland, saying he had "unfinished business" with the Cavaliers, and one day into the official start of the league year, he made clear that he meant it by putting pen to paper on a massive new extension.

Mitchell's extension is the first domino to fall in what the Cavaliers hope is an offseason that finally pushes them over the top -- with LeBron James' return looming as the potential final piece to the puzzle. The last three Eastern Conference champions (two of whom won the Finals) did so a year after losing in the conference finals. Cleveland is hoping its patience is rewarded as the Celtics, Pacers and Knicks were to extend that streak to four in a row in 2026-27. There's still more work to do, but with Mitchell locked up the Cavs can start fully planning for the future.


What Mitchell's extension means for LeBron's possible return
The entire league is awaiting word of what LeBron James will do as he changes teams for a fourth time. The Sixers are in the hunt after trading for Jaylen Brown last week, and there are intriguing options in Golden State and Miami. But the expectation has been growing that LeBron will be coming home for a third and final stint in Cleveland.

So, what does the Mitchell signing mean for James' potential return? Financially, nothing.

Mitchell's new deal won't kick in until 2027-28 and has no impact on the Cavs' cap situation for the 2026-27 season. Should James Harden sign a new deal before LeBron's decision is announced, that would signal The King is going elsewhere, but Mitchell's new contract will have no bearing on James' ability to sign in Cleveland.

That said, Mitchell inking his extension now takes away any concern James may have had that his farewell season back home could be hijacked in any way by a contract dispute or potential trade saga involving Mitchell. Mitchell would've been able to become a free agent next summer, and had he not signed an extension, there could've been some real drama about the Cavs' future that would distract from LeBron's return.

Now the path is cleared for James to come to Cleveland without any concern that he wouldn't be the main topic of conversation or that this Cavs team will look different in late February than it does now due to a Mitchell trade.

With the USA out I have to root for Spain. Chattanooga hosted the Spanish team during the several weeks when they played in Atlanta. It created a lot of local excitement, so Go Spain!

-=SMH=- So tired of winning. . . .

Rough week, neh?

There are a couple households in my neighborhood that are explosives enthusiasts and ply their trade most major holidays.

There was a pretty good storm that came through during peak fireworks hours. I swear the moment the last raindrop hit the ground they were already lighting fuses again.

They must mean US, normal citizens who see no way out of our current nightmare. We are blessed with a Commander in Chief who "jokes"/ uses sarcasm when talking about the Medal of Honor-- he has no clue about honor, virtue, nobility...... we need to pray for him and our country- we were blessed with another MAINLY peaceful 4th of July. Lord help us to stop killing each other in Middle East. Pray for leaders who act "for the people" and the common good- thanks to all who serve our country in many different areas. Happy 4th July weekend to all- yes, including our President. Peace.

Just like Clase and Ortiz, prop bets and/or micro bets could be a huge problem

Man Upset As Someone Calls Him On Device Specifically Designed For People To Call Him On

P.S. Sounds like me at times. lol

When it arrives, just start in on it at the correct dosage. Feel free to eat up the other stuff as well; some folks take in as much as 20g per day when doing a fast load saturation. If you're over 200 lbs, you could be taking 5-10 grams per day just fine, but I'm currently 240 lbs and still only do 5g, for now.

Then why O why is the republican led congress allowing it?

Can't wait to hear their excuse for this.

Federal prosecutors are continuing to dismiss charges initially brought against people in Minnesota for allegedly assaulting federal officers during the winter.

WCCO dug through court filings and identified at least 18 people whose cases are now dropped. A federal judge officially dismissed the charges for 15 of them; three are pending a judge's approval after prosecutors filed motions to dismiss the charges. At least 17 cases are still pending, with judges denying defense dismissal motions in several of them.

Richard Painter, a legal expert with the University of Minnesota and former chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, said that it's clear to him that federal prosecutors brought several cases forward without sufficient evidence.

"It appears that the United States Attorney's Office in Minnesota is bringing some weak cases against protestors," Painter said, adding that he believes that there was pressure from the Trump administration to charge people.

According to court records, defense and government attorneys alike asked for case dismissals for a variety of reasons.

Juan Carlos Rodriguez Romero was accused in December of ramming into ICE vehicles in St. Paul, prompting an ICE agent to fire his weapon, hitting no one. On June 8, United States Attorney Daniel Rosen signed off on a dismissal motion based in part because prosecutors "thoroughly reassessed the evidence" and concluded that they were not confident that they could obtain and sustain a conviction against Rodriguez Romero.

In January, ICE leadership acknowledged that ICE agent Christian Castro may have lied under oath about what happened the night he shot Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in north Minneapolis. This led to the assault charges against Sosa-Celis and another man being dropped; Castro is now facing charges in Hennepin County for the shooting and for falsely reporting a crime.

Just a week after that incident, federal officers said Paul Johnson violently resisted arrest in north Minneapolis. On Thursday, Rosen signed a motion to dismiss the charges against Johnson. The U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota acknowledged issues raised by Johnson and his legal team, including allegations that agents shackled him to a bed at HCMC without access to his phone for days.

"Based on newly received discovery, the government intends to pursue an investigation into allegations raised in Mr. Johnson's filings; therefore the interests of justice support dismissal of this case," Rosen's motion reads in Johnson's case.

In the more than 30 cases WCCO reviewed, one name appeared across a variety of different cases. HSI Special Agent Richard Berger submitted sworn affidavits prompting probable cause for the arrest of Johnson and nine others, whose charges were ultimately dismissed. Berger submitted affidavits in at least 12 cases that are still ongoing.

In a hearing in Gillian Etherington's case in April, which is still ongoing, U.S. District Court Magistrate David Schultz said that he became "concerned with the veracity" of multiple affidavits related to federal officer assault cases that came from Berger. Schultz said that in multiple instances, Berger "did not have any personal knowledge of the events described in the affidavits that he has submitted to this court as sworn affidavits."

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security ignored questions from WCCO about whether there has been an internal review of incident reports or legal filings. The spokesperson instead provided a statement describing Johnson, who prosecutors are dropping the federal case against, as an "anti-ICE rioter."

U.S. prosecutors in Minnesota on Tuesday announced charges against 15 people they say conspired to "violently oppose immigration law enforcement," though Rosen failed to describe a single example of injuries to federal agents when repeatedly questioned.

When asked what makes the latest slate of indictments different than other cases that have been dropped, Rosen said he doesn't think any cases have "failed in any way."

"Read the indictment and you'll understand the magnitude of this case," Rosen said. "You watch how this case plays out, you watch how the evidence plays out and the evidence will prove it all out."

They have same dudes running same systems. OTAs aren't going to make or break their season.

I've addressed are they just supposed to let them already. No they aren't. But we both know that there are other choices than simply carpet bombing civilian neighborhoods which is choosing to intentionally wipe out tens of thousands of innocent civilian lives. I'm not opposing Israel taking actions to protect themselves. I'm pointing out that first of all Netanyahu playing The Boy Who Cried wolf for three decades trying everything he can to get a partner to invade Iran combined with making the choice to defend his nation by intentionally slaughtering all of those civilians is not justifiable by you or anyone else. Nobody forced him to make that decision.

You totally dismissed that point as well as Israel being Iran's neighbor and how they already have nuclear weapons. When you combine that with Netanyahu's war cries which he has been espousing for decades now it only makes sense that Iran would want to be able to respond in kind should the need arise.

That doesn't mean I want them to have a nuclear weapon. It simply means I understand why they want one. None of that means I'm against Israel defending themselves. But look at some of the comments you have made in describing Iran as terrorists. One of those points was slaughtering their own innocent civilians. I'm not sure how you can justify when someone else does it for them.
