Tell me how you deny the DOJ isn't politicized when it hides evidence from a Grand Jury while it systematically tries to go after political opponents.
Tell me how the war in Iran is being run well and how it hasn't slowed the global economy and the economy in the US.
Tell me how DOGE saved Trillions - when in fact it's questionable that it even managed to save the meager billions it has since tried to claim at the end .... while independent reports show that even there very low "savings" is based on a bunch of fake claims.
And tell me how this story and article is not deeply concerning and a political stunt.
Oh ... you can't. Not unless you spout some BS and omit any observable facts.
The DOJ is doing its job. The left is full of corruption and bad players and cannot handle it when real investigation into their crimes is being looked at by real law enforcement.
The economy has slowed due to the war yes. But The Supreme Leader was taken out early on. Iran has said many times death to America and while that might fit your liberal agenda it does not too real Americans and I am glad that he and others have been taken out.
DODE did expose a lot of waste. I think they could have went much much further.
We all saw the riots on college campuses and yes, they were riots and not protests. They were very much antisemitic. Just because you choose to close your eyes does not mean it did not happen.
Your comment about the Waltons made me think of a recent soundbite I heard - it was regarding a UK podcaster who has been doing a lot on how the wealthy essentially have everything stacked in their favor. He has been a huge proponent of some form of wealth tax for the super wealthy ... He made a reply to someone asking him about the popular right wing phrase "wealth redistribution" .... his response was that the current system is all about wealth redistribution and he gave very detailed answer about why that is. And for a comparison - the wealthiest 0.01% (1 in 10,000 people) has grown their net wealth by 40% over the last 25 years. That's a proportion of the total global wealth ...
In 2000 - top 0.01% held about 8% of the world's wealth. 2025 it was about 12%. That's wealth redistribution .... just in a direction that's not the same as most commonly thought of.
And I get that no-one wants to reward the grifters and people who cheat the system (other than those that support Trump maybe) - but there is as much financial burden by the many con-artists raking and profiteering and avoiding taxes etc (Madoff, Enron, Bankman...) - as there are at the bottom taking advantage of 'welfare' ... focussing on only one doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. And trying to use the bad apples as a justification of helping the majority also makes no sense to me.
Seems every year the last 6 years has been a " throwaway " year Or a development year . I mean when was the last time this franchise was picked to win the North ?
WASHINGTON—Explaining his opposition to birth control, Senator Tommy Tuberville said on Tuesday that he opposes contraception and all other words with more than one syllable.
“I see the word ‘contraception’ and that’s a quick ‘no’ for me,” the Alabama lawmaker said. “Don’t know what that means. Won’t look it up.”
Proud of his consistent opposition to polysyllabic words, Tuberville said, “Immigration. Education. Vaccination. No, no, no.”
The senator said, however, that he would continue supporting one-syllable words such as guns and oil, adding, “Short words good. Long words bad.”
Never watched him and I don't place the name. I don't care who wins games for us. Anybody who has seen the guy's game, give us some insights. Our D was not tough enough .on the Bears. Big uglies gotta show up.
Seems to have some juice. A decent chunk of the highlights seem to come unblocked, though, so I'm not sure how much opponents worried about him. We'll see. Looks like he converted from QB to ILB to Edge, so may have some untapped potential still.
And to further muddy the waters Kushner said the talks with Iran that trump said they are not having were ongoing and "robust".
Kushner: US having robust talks with the Iranians, but they’re not ready to make deal we want
18 August 2026, 12:29 am
US special envoy Jared Kushner says conversations between the US and different areas of the Iranian government have probably been more robust than ever, but the two sides have not yet reached an understanding.
I suppose one could say that. I was raised that by omitting the truth made it a lie. But that's when I lived in America and not trumplandia. I have no idea what the new rules are.
Oh and don't forget about all the lies about the Iran war, and listen to this (fromJon Ossoff, the next PoTUS)
.... “Remember, last year, they claimed Iran’s nuclear program had been obliterated? Then, this year, they claimed it posed an imminent nuclear threat? Both times, lies. On day one of the war, listen to this, day one, the president said the war was quote, ‘Ahead of schedule.’ Ahead of schedule. On day four, he declared victory. Today is day 170,” said Ossoff, who is running for reelection this year.
.... “Listen to this, on day nine of the war, the incompetent Pete Hegseth guaranteed Iranian surrender. On day 14, he claimed Iran’s military had been destroyed. On day 40, he said every single objective had been achieved. That was four months ago,” Ossoff added.
So instead of paying attention to the real time incompetence, lies and corruption in the White House - the right wing spin machine is full overdrive about a fringe group of hardcore crazy communists who aren't part of the Democratic party, but with every post they make they try to make it seem like they are.
So you claim the entire population of Gaza celebrated the acts of Hamas in October? Or was it a select minority of the citizens of Gaza you saw? You try to use an election held in 2006 as your excuse? You do realize that Hamas has not allowed an election since then, right? And you do realize that children don't have the right to vote. That means that anyone who was under the age of 18 in 2006 hasn't ever been able to vote.
It's strange that any Christian would try so hard to find excuses to kill innocent people. What part of the Bible did you get that from?
You fail to see innocent people because you refuse to look and don't want to see them.
Supreme Court rejects final Trump appeal of $5 million E. Jean Carroll verdict
Carroll has received the money in the 2023 case, her representatives said.
The Supreme Court on Monday declined a request from President Donald Trump to reconsider its rejection of his appeal in the 2023 E. Jean Carroll case.
The decision means it's the end of the line for Trump's bid to overturn a $5 million jury award to Carroll, which the writer's representatives said was paid in July.
The Court did not explain its decision and there were no noted dissents. No request for a rehearing has been granted since the 1960s.
A jury determined in 2023 that Trump was liable for sexually abusing Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store in the 1990s, and that he defamed her in a 2022 social media post by calling her allegations "a Hoax and a lie" and saying "This woman is not my type!"
In 2024, following a separate trial, Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll for defaming her in 2019 when he denied her allegations of sexual abuse.
Trump, who denies any wrongdoing, is continuing to appeal that judgment with a petition to the justices currently pending. They are expected to decide later this year whether or not to take up the case.
In his appeal, Trump alleges that his 2019 comments about Carroll -- which were later found to be defamatory -- were "official" statements as president and therefore immune from use in a legal case against him.
Stephen Vogt has severely regressed in his pitcher selections.
He keeps pulling bullpen pitchers with 2 outs and the lead and the next pitcher responds by giving up runs.
I think it is more the pitchers inability to come in and get the out.
no one else throws 2 pitchers in (middle innings) 1 inning. He obsseses over matchups too much.
Maybe so. I don't know how often that happens. Maybe it should happen more often. You never know when a games critical inning is going to happen. The don't always come in the late innings.
No one has had their injuries disclosed yet. Monken isn’t talking until he has to. I’m not worried about Carson but I am worried about a couple of the others who limped out.
I’m not sure he was even dismissive of it in terms of he will never be able to do it in an NFL game, I took it more as this game had very few elements of a real NFL game where there will be shifts, coverage disguising, full temper rushing with guys that belong on the league, etc. the HOF game wasn’t just vanilla, it was a hyped practice with a 1/4 of the playbook being ran by 3rd stringers and guys that won’t make a roster.
