Just make all PI calls a 15 yard penalty and a first down, easy.

Agree. PI is as game-impacting as any penalty. Holing too, but they aren’t often blatantly wrong on those.

Nice story. A positive next chapter in JOK's life.

Me too. All of us do.

Regardless, I couldn't get on this website for a bit today. This is what I got:

US has destroyed only a third of Iran’s missiles, intelligence suggests

Reuters report contradicts Trump’s claims that Tehran’s arsenal has been largely wiped out

The US has only destroyed about a third of Iran’s missile and drone arsenal after a month of its war against Iran which aimed to degrade the country’s ballistic missile capabilities, according to a report by Reuters.

About a third of Tehran’s missiles have been destroyed, and another third was likely to be damaged or buried in underground tunnels and bunkers, the report suggested. A similar assessment was made about the country’s drone arsenal.

The report, based on five people familiar with US intelligence, suggests that while most of Iran’s missiles are immediately inaccessible, the country still has a sizeable stockpile.

That contradicts Donald Trump’s statement on Thursday that Tehran had “very few rockets left” and statements from other US officials that the war has eliminated its ballistic missile capabilities.

Iranian officials see its ballistic missile programme as a key deterrent, particularly given the vast military superiority of the US and Israel, which is within reach of its arsenal and views it as a direct threat.

Iran has used ballistic missiles and drones to devastating effect over the last month, continuing to pound Israel and key energy and public infrastructure in the Gulf, and inflicting huge damage on the global economy.

The US and Israel have said degrading Iran’s ballistic missile capacity is one of the chief aims of the war. IWashington has deployed thousands of more troops to the Middle East in recent days as the administration reportedly mulls a ground operation in Kharg island with the aim of reopening the strait of Hormuz.

Trump said on Thursday: “The problem with the strait is this: Let’s say we do a great job. We say we got 99% [of their missiles]. 1% is unacceptable, because 1% is a missile going into the hull of a ship that cost a billion dollars.”

Israel has made ballistic missile caches and launchers one of the primary targets of its aerial campaign in Iran. It says it has “neutralised” 335 or 70% of Tehran’s missile launchers. Iran has distributed its launchers across the country in an effort to evade Israeli detection and airstrikes.

The number of launches has declined as Israel and the US continue to their bombing campaign, but missiles have still managed to hit Israel and the Gulf as interceptors also run out. Israel, the US and Gulf states have spent billions and expended critical interceptor stocks to block Iranian missile barrages.

A US official, speaking anonymously, suggested that it would be impossible to assess Iran’s missile stockpile as much of it was stored underground. “I don’t know if we’ll ever have an accurate number,” they said.

Iran fired 15 missiles and 11 drones at the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, according to the UAE defence ministry.

The US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, said the vast tunnel network created an extra challenge in destroying Iran’s missile stockpile, but said the US military would continue regardless.

“We are hunting them down methodically, ruthlessly and overwhelmingly, like no other military in the world can do, and the results speak for themselves,” he said earlier this month.

It's possible that a UFO could transport you to their space ship and give you an anal probe too I guess.

Yeah but that was before trump "obliterated" their nuclear program.

So not guilty still means guilty? Can't even come up with enough evidence to get an indictment still means guilty? Got it.

US fighter jet shot down in Iran, search underway for crew

Iran has shot down a U.S. fighter jet, per Iranian media and a source familiar with the incident, and a search and rescue effort is underway to locate two crew.

The big picture: It would be the first time since the beginning of the war that a U.S. jet was downed by enemy fire.
The U.S. military and the White House didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Driving the news: On Friday, Iranian state media published pictures and videos that allegedly show parts of the downed plane and one of the ejection seats.

The photos and videos suggest it is an F-15 fighter jet.
This is breaking news.

Oh, memories......

No, a lack of evidence doesn't mean there wasn't a crime, and I am not speaking in direct relation to this specific topic. Lot's of crime go unresolved due to a lack of evidence. Lot's of people are acquitted due to a lack of evidence.

That doesn't mean a crime didn't happen.

I think the status changed a few years ago. They are full time employees now.


I stand corrected. They are classified as part-time independent contractors.

Either way I don't really blame the refs. The NFL has too many subjective rules that have to be made in real, split second time. They do fine with the codified rules. They usually get that right. The subjective rules are always going to be a problem. Just part of being human. You can see the exact same thing, but from one angle you see it one way, from another angle you see it another way.

The biggest rule change I would like to see is pass interference rules. I don't think every one needs to be a spot foul and automatic 1st down. I think they need to have blatant intererence and incidental intererence with a lesser penalty.

I'm not sure what she could have done that she didn't try to do. She tried and failed to get indictments and convictions of Trumps perceived enemies. I don't think anyone else he puts in the role will be any more successful..

I mean you gotta have some evidence in order to get those indictments and convictions. Doesn't appear they have that evidence.. Wouldn't that suggest there wasn't a crime?

Facts don't matter... Trump is Hateful and MAGA eats it up

Trump fires Pam Bondi as US attorney general, White House official says

WASHINGTON, April 2 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has removed Attorney General Pam Bondi from her post, a White House official said on Thursday, following mounting frustration with her performance, including her handling of investigative files ‌related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump had also reportedly grown frustrated that Bondi was not moving quickly enough ‌to prosecute critics and adversaries who he wanted to face criminal charges.

In a social media post, Trump praised Bondi as a "Great American Patriot and a loyal friend" and said she will ​move to a job in the private sector. Trump said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer, will lead the Justice Department in the interim.

Pam Bondi fired as U.S. attorney general
President Trump dismissed Pam Bondi from her role as the nation’s top law enforcement official following ongoing negative publicity and controversy over DOJ investigations. Social media and officials responded with mixed takes while Bondi called her tenure an 'honor of a lifetime.'

Why did Trump fire Attorney General Pam Bondi?
During her tenure as the top U.S. law enforcement official, Bondi was a combative champion of Trump’s agenda and dismantled the Justice Department’s longstanding tradition of independence from the White House in its investigations.

But it was repeated criticism over the Epstein files, including from Trump allies and some Republican lawmakers, that came ‌to dominate her tenure. Bondi was accused of covering ⁠up or mismanaging the release of records on the DOJ’s sex trafficking investigations into Epstein, a financier who cultivated ties with an array of wealthy and powerful figures.

POLITICAL HEADACHE

The issue created political headaches for Trump and drew renewed scrutiny ⁠of his past friendship with Epstein, which he has said ended decades ago.

Her ouster could lead to a shake-up in strategy at the Justice Department and potentially a renewed push to deploy the U.S. legal system against Trump’s targets.

Bondi is the second senior Trump official to be ousted recently. Trump removed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi ​Noem ​on March 5 following criticism of her management of the agency and Trump’s immigration ​agenda.

Bondi, a former Republican state attorney general in Florida, ‌said she worked on restoring the Justice Department’s focus on violent crime and rebuilding trust with Trump’s supporters after federal prosecutors twice criminally charged Trump during his years out of power.

Bondi also faced criticism over the removal of dozens of career prosecutors who worked on investigations disfavored by Trump, with critics accusing her of abandoning the DOJ’s traditional focus on even-handed justice.

Bondi defended the rollout of the Epstein files, saying the Trump administration had been more transparent on the issue than previous presidents and that DOJ lawyers worked on a compressed timeline to review reams of material.

SPARRING WITH LAWMAKERS

During a ‌combative hearing before a House of Representatives panel in January, Bondi responded to criticism ​with political attacks directed at lawmakers. She refused to apologize or look at Epstein victims ​and their relatives who attended the proceedings.

Bondi early last year played ​into fevered speculation about the Epstein files, saying a client list was on her desk for review. But after ‌an initial release included material that had largely already been ​public, the DOJ and FBI declared in ​July that the case was closed and that no further disclosures were warranted.

The move prompted an eruption of criticism and eventually a bipartisan law passed in November requiring the Justice Department to release nearly all of its files.

The release of roughly 3 million pages of ​records still did not quell the controversy, as lawmakers ‌criticized redactions in the files and the disclosure of the identities of some Epstein victims.

I think there is 2

And the Fanboys go gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble.

There's only one possible reason to try and challenge this, something for that stood in place for all those other presidents since Nixon.

Records, multi million dollars jets, anything really. Its just not fair!
