I have been to damn near every National Park and some of them many times.

The 3,000 lost jobs are necessary jobs that serve the function of how they operate.

Parks require maintenance. I have never seen a reference to slavery in a Park. Climate change maybe because there are impacts that can be seen.

What I have seen is information about the history of each Park along with old photos.

If we can spend trillions on interest to our National debt and dump money into a war that is ruining the economy.

I would much rather attend to our country and support what serves us all.

The Parks pay for themselves if they are run correctly. Every previous president has recognized their value and protected them.

Trump signed an executive order scaling back the borders of Bears Ears National Monument by roughly \(85\%\) (losing over \(1\) million acres) and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument by nearly half (losing about \(800,000\) acres). This decision opened these formerly protected lands to potential commercial development, mining, and logging.

Right!? Hard not to chuckle reading through the article.

Keeping him on the roster allows the Browns to file for cap insurance relief for him being out.

Last night was better. Tied at two apiece. We decided to play harder. Better player mix, better defense, fewer turnovers. We had our heads together in the game. Our D needs to limit shots more. We still have a long walk to achieve an improbable series win. Last night the second half was fun to watch.
Do not weaken.

Another problem is the "surprise" budget issue that wasn't planned for. Illness, sure. House repairs, those not covered by insurance, like roof, furnace, major car repairs, larger ticket fixes. We tried to drop some major money on our home before we both retired. Doing that will help the withdrawal number. We have pensions, and other sources we are building slowly. Point of this post is to encourage anticipating a variety of unexpected costs that will demand attention. Most of my friends have stated they want to have one to two million available. I wish everybody luck! We intend to keep investing as long as we can. Comfortable, but not massively flush by any means.

I think Schwartz was overrated, but Rutenberg is an unknown. I like the "scheme," which we're supposedly keeping, but the in game adjustments and moment to moment play calling left me wanting better from Schwartz, and I don't think Rutenberg has had to do that yet. So, we'll see.

Oh, memories........

Trump Says Iran Ceasefire ‘On Life Support’ After Bragging He Has ‘The Best Plan Ever’

President Donald Trump said Monday that the ceasefire with Iran is not in a great place at the moment because he believes Iran’s proposals to end the war have been “unacceptable.”

“It’s unbelievably weak,” Trump said of the ceasefire. “It’s on life support.”

"Life support is not a good thing," he continued. "I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support where the doctor walks in and says, 'Sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living.’”

Speaking before reporters and allies gathered in the Oval Office moments earlier, he boasted about his "plan" to end the war.

“You know, a lot of people said, ‘Well, does he have a plan?' Yeah, of course I do have a plan. I have the best plan ever," Trump said. “I have a plan. It’s a very simple plan.”

Trump then laid out his plan, which is no plan at all: “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”

Trump Rejects New Iran Peace Offer as ‘Totally Unacceptable’

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump and Iran rejected each other’s latest peace proposals to end the 10-week conflict as the two sides struggle to maintain a fragile ceasefire.

“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives,’” Trump said in a social media post. “I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!”

Iran offered to transfer some of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to a third country, but rejected the idea of dismantling its nuclear facilities, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier. Iran disputed the report, according to the country’s semi-official news agency Tasnim.

It was unclear whether the exchange of proposals would offer a path to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Under its latest proposal, Iran would dilute some of its highly enriched uranium and have the rest sent to a third country, the WSJ said, citing people familiar with the response, but it also called for guarantees the transferred uranium would be returned if talks fail and ruled out dismantling its facilities.

Iran’s semi-official news agency Tasnim said the WSJ’s reporting on proposals for handling nuclear material was “not true.” The statement emphasized Iran’s desire for an immediate end to the war, the release of its frozen assets, a lifting of US sanctions on oil sales, an end to the US blockade of the Gulf of Oman, and ultimately Iranian management of the strait. State-run IRIB News added that Tehran rejected Trump’s plan as tantamount to surrender and insisted the US must also pay war damages.

Trump had proposed that Iran permit passage through the Strait of Hormuz and Washington end its blockade on Iranian ports in the next month, with nuclear talks to follow.

Oil rose with the dollar after Trump rejected Iran’s latest proposal. Brent was up about 3.5% to above $104 a barrel, recovering some of last week’s losses. US equity-index futures edged lower as the standoff weighed on risk sentiment.

Iran has been “playing games” with the US and other countries, Trump said in a social media post earlier Sunday. “They will be laughing no longer!”

Trump and his advisers have repeatedly suggested the war is over, even while threatening to escalate attacks if Tehran does not agree to a peace deal. Trump is scheduled to travel to China this week despite the ongoing conflict.

The president has said repeatedly that Iran must not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and claimed as recently as last week that the country had already agreed to give up its nuclear ambitions.

The president did not say in his social media post what the consequences, if any, of his dissatisfaction with Iran’s response would be. In recent weeks, Trump has appeared eager to draw a line under the conflict as he faces rising political pressure to bring down gasoline prices across the US ahead of the November midterm elections, when his fellow Republicans hope to hold on to control of Congress.

The conflict has killed thousands of people across the Middle East and upended oil and gas markets, with soaring fuel prices piling pressure on governments and consumers worldwide.

Here’s more related to the war:

Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest oil company, warned it would take several months for the market to return to normal even if the Strait of Hormuz reopened immediately.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes that he would like to end US financial support for Israel’s military over the next decade. The US currently provides Israel with $3.8 billion a year in military assistance under a 10-year agreement originally negotiated by the Obama administration that lasts through 2028.

Despite the ceasefire in place since April 8, a drone strike briefly set a cargo vessel ablaze off Qatar in the Persian Gulf, marking the latest shipping attack in the region. The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait both said they had intercepted hostile drones.

I agree. Carson was on the NFL radar.

My sister and her boys loved Iceland! She's been twice and is itching to go back.

Bobby was old school all the way.

His players loved him.

You were expected to conduct yourself like a professional.

No clubhouse music allowed. Wear headsets so you don't infringe on others. No kids in the locker room. Not all kids behave well.

Show up on time and play your ass off. Dress was sports coats and collared shirts.

He kept everything inside the locker room. And he supported his players like they were his own kids.

I will always remember him on the top step cheering his players on. He was all baseball.

Sad day in Braves land.

I just realized , that is " Tugboat " we traded !

Since their current problem child QB is on the last year of his contract they are going to need someone to come in and fill that role on the roster.

Maybe you can tell me what crimes they have been convicted of and how many felony counts they were found guilty of? I can show you 34 felony counts trump was convicted on. Let me guess. The fact trump was convicted on 34 felony counts is the fault of the democrats, right? Tell me how it was those evil dems who convicted him and not a jury. Or how it wasn't a jury who found he was libel for sexually assaulting a woman? Let me guess, you have a list of excuses for that one too? Tell me how every election trump or republicans win isn't rigged but every time a democrat wins an election you people claim it was rigged?

Or maybe you can explain this one though I know you will ignore it and just post more BS.... After Trump ordered the bombing on Iran's nuclear facilities in June of 2025 he proclaimed that they, "obliterated Iran's nuclear program setting it back several years if not decades." Then just eight months later he claimed that Iran was less than a month away from having a nuclear weapon. So which of those two times was he lying?

And let's not forget this one. On April 18th, 2026, President Trump claimed Iran "agreed to everything" in negotiations, including removing enriched uranium, ceasing proxy support, and keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.

Once again you prove that every accusation you make is just a confession. Do you call the fact I pointed out that trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts "hate"? Do you call me pointing out that trump made two opposite claims about Iran's nuclear program one of which has to be a lie hate? Because that's usually what you call it when we presented with the facts.

You have TDS. Trump devotion syndrome. No matter what he does, no matter what he says, no matter how many times he lies to you, you remain devoted to him.

I do know some of the very things and false statements they were making made it to the right wing media and were heavily repeated on social media. And it wouldn't surprise me if some of them didn't make their way the board by those that seem to think randos on X is legitimate news. But honestly I think most of that is nothing more than trolling the board. Surely such posters aren't stupid enough to believe that BS.

From the archives. We've been promoting buying American for decades now.....

History dictates those percentages, not me. I just posted the numbers. I would recommend that if you try gambling based on your "feelings" or claim that proven statistics make no difference when you wager, you may not wish to gamble. But hey, it's your money.

Do you really believe that when Tom Brady and Brock Purdy were drafted that the teams who drafted them thought the odds of them becoming the players they became were high? If so, why did they wait so long while leaving them on the board to draft them? They took long shot fliers on them.

I on the other hand actually believe there is a role for Green right away. Not a starter right away if ever, but certainly a way to be a major contributor to the offense. Even me saying that is ignoring the odds but it's far more realistic than him ever being the Browns starter unless it's forced due to injuries.

Come on man. Can it happen? Yes it can. But claiming decades of data doesn't matter is not a thing. Well I guess it is to some who wish to ignore it.

They say that time heals all wounds ... and in come ways that's true. Different wounds heal differently. This one is going to take all the time it wants.

Interesting update:

Just yesterday, Jerome Powell announced that he would not step down before his term expires.
He also noted that he'd be staying on as a ranking board member for the foreseeable future.


It would seem that there is at least one person in the 202 who is willing to honor the commitment he made to The American Public.

Imagine that: the FED Chair stood up for principle and tradition, and said "no" to unrelenting pressure from the Executive Branch. Moreover, he actually committed himself to continue serving the public's interest after his term expires.

Dude just raised a massive "One Gun Salute" ...and thrust it straight in 47's eye... in front of the entire U.S.
"I'm still here... and I'll still be around."

Guts.
Principle.
Integrity.


In case you missed it:
Jerome Powell is a Donald Trump appointment.

This wouldn't have happened if people hadn't elected a music artist as president.

I made the distinction between the two.

Way more information to make a mock than predict a new season.
