President Trump expressed condolences for the slain American troops and predicted there would be more causalities in the coming days. “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends,” he said. “That’s the way it is. Likely be more.”

And I think that many forget the 400 million dollar jet that Qatar gave trump for his use.
and the hundreds of millions of dollars that the UAE sunk into trump crypto
and the 2 billion that MBS gave kushners private equity firm in 2021. When people brought that up afterwards, it was said that kush would not have any role in future US government .
Who was sitting with witkoff at the negotiating table with the Iranians last week-kush was.

And who was lobbying trump to strike Iran-even after they seemed ok with a deal that was better than Obama got.


Why, it was bibi and MBS.

Which Russian expert accused Trump of creating political opportunities?

What risks does US-Israeli operation in Iran pose according to Russia?

Why did Russia urge citizens to leave Iran and Israel?

Russian propagandists have threatened to carry out a horror strike on Europe in response to Iran’s missile attack, as the experts blamed Donald Trump for “unwittingly creating political and psychological opportunities.” On Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed condolences over the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.




The Russian President called the act "a murder committed in cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law”. Speaking about Russia’s next move, Sergey Karnaukhov, a former president and CEO of The Centre for the National Interest, and Dimitri Simes, a former president and CEO of The Centre for the National Interest, highlighted what needs to be done as he blames Europe for “waging war” against Russia.


In the conversation with Vladimir Solovyov on channel Solovyov Live, he said: “Estonia is waging war against us. I think we should give it some thought that Mr Trump unwittingly created political and psychological opportunities for us, he untied our hands for our Supreme Commander in chief to do whatever he finds appropriate to do for the nation’s security.”


The host of the show continued issuing threats to Europe. Mr Solovyov said: “But we see what is happening..the only language Europe understands is the language of force, and only when the force is used against them. They saw that Oreshnik was used twice and decided they are protected in their little house. It’s clearly time to strike their little house.”

The Russian Foreign Ministry had sharply denounced the joint US‑Israeli military operation in Iran the previous day, describing it as “a pre‑planned and unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent UN member state” and a violation of core principles of international law.


The Russian Foreign Ministry claimed that the US and Israel are "covering themselves with an imaginary concern to prevent the Iranians from acquiring nuclear weapons," while in fact their main goal, according to Moscow, is "to destroy the constitutional order and destroy the leadership of a state they do not like, which has refused to submit to forceful dictate and hegemonism."

The foreign ministry also appealed to Russians in Iran and Israel to leave these countries immediately if possible.

^ Scolds someone for predicting the future while predicting the future by citing the past. ^

Can't make it up!

It's the Combine.

They are throwing to guys they don't play with.

I look more at them throwing the ball. Their footwork. Release. Hip turn. Weight transfer. Trajectory of the throw. When they release.

The mechanics of their movement.

Just watching them without uniforms and helmets.

There is so much that goes into the position. It is impossible to have it all figured out. That is why there are so many who do not make it.

Then when they get to the NFL it takes more time. Some guys it takes years and moving around before the lights come on.

Shedeur flashed. He made some big time plays. He also stunk and made some horrible plays. Can he be consistent with the good stuff?

Nobody coming from college is a sure thing. Make your best educated guess and hope you take the right guy.

I know that today you have refused to address any of the valid points I made while continuing to repeat yourself. Part of those responses were nothing but rants and name calling.

I know that today you only wish to talk about the end game and not the crooked road taken to get there. And we still have no idea what the future will look like for Iran. But I'm not surprised you're predicting then end game before it ever happens. There's a lot of that going around.

Nobody here is supporting oppressors. They're supporting that we don't become their next oppressors. They're supporting this administration doesn't use stopping a nuclear weapons program they claimed they obliterated just months ago or stopping the flow of drugs as lies and excuses to overthrow regimes and nation build. You must have forgotten how that whole "Shah of Iran" thing worked out last time we tried this. And forgotten how the entire Iraq ordeal worked out when they tried this same deception by claiming WMD as the excuse. And forgotten about Vietnam.

Some of us have learned from experience how futile this entire thing may turn out to be. We have learned the possibilities of how much money and loss of life of our brave combat troops this can cost.

No matter how much you wrap it up in the flag, no matter how much you make it sound like we won something before the end is even near, we've seen this movie before and the ending has never looked quite like what you are describing.

I know that today Russia has 2 less allies in the world and many terrorist organizations lost their allies. Who wins? People who love freedom. Who loses? Losers who like people being oppressed.

it occured to me today, that always being one of the smartest guys in the room is more a handicap than blessing… not because smart is bad; because most stupid people don’t know they are stupid. I give you Trump and Company as examples… any idiot but trump czn see this is going bad, veery bad… Trumpdoubles down on stupid.

It's not crying to point out that trump actually made claims about just how many drugs were coming in from Venezuela when this claims were lies. It's not crying to point out that those lies were to cover up trump wanted to make a regime change and get control of their oil. You just call it crying when someone presents facts to you that you don't want to hear and can't refute.

By going after Iran instead of Russia, trump once again picked on the little kid on the playground because he is afraid to take on someone his own size. Your hero is a coward.

Trump said this has been going on since 1989. In case you missed there have been several presidents of both parties since 1989. Not just "Democrats". But don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.

Now you bring "because men can't get pregnant" into it like a good little MAGA.

Now pick up where you left off. I think it was right after you mentioned how the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.....

And now of course you have a fan boy approving if your unhinged rant.

QFT

We tire of winning yet MAGA? This man is pure fascist turd… enjoy that taste in your mouth for the next 2.9 years…

I know what they are saying about Simpson at the combine, but I watched the entire day, then again this morning, then each of them individually on YouTube, it’s there for everyone to open and re-watch.

1) watch the inside slant drill. The announcers were praising Simpson’s release and throws, but he actually rushed them and was high two times. The receivers made him look good by plucking them out of the air. Put them in traffic and in pads and both could have easily been picks if the receivers made misses the pass or bats it further in the air trying to get to them.

1b) Allar was unimpressive in the same drill earlier in the day. He hit the guys perfectly in the hands, but frankly there is no one in front of him and it’s about the easiest throw you can make in this environment.

2) watch the deep outside posts and the go routes, every single pass the receiver had to slow down for Simpsons balls. Again the announcers praised him for his footwork release and pretty placement, but didn’t once bring up the timing aspect.

2b) Now watch Allar. The ball comes out effortlessly and he placement was absolutely perfect for the receivers in stride, despite two of them dropping the ball. This was Allar’s highlight of the weekend and though I don’t put much into the underwear Olympics, it did reiterate what I have seen on film.

3) Out routes is where I think Simpson shined and one of the harder routes to throw. Two throws were on the outside shoulder and I am giving him the benefit of the doubt that is where it was supposed to be. Hard to do, but utilized a lot in the NFL.

What I obviously didn’t get to see is the interviews and their football IQ which will go a long way in convincing a coach and GM they can digest their playbook and run an offense effectively. I’d like to be a fly on the wall for those.

That’s funny. I still don’t think a few on here will understand.

Year…(I think) 5 of kicking the stupid can. In other words, if we keep kicking it… someday I will be right

Caddyshack gif = “well, we’re waiting”

The regime that is an ally of Russia that sponsors terrorist proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc... have been taken out. A drug supplier of a communist party that is an ally of Russia was removed. And all we hear is crying coming from the left. If a Democratic President ever had the guts to make America safer and do something like this, you all would be beating your chest in pride. Oh, wait you only beat your chest in pride when some educated dummy says men can get pregnant. Face it your kind is a joke. It has been exposed. In some America cities middle eastern people are in the streets celebrating that a tyrant that has oppressed people, has been removed and nit wits like Jane Fonda and other idiotic liberals are in the streets crying that their oppressive socialist regimes that they so love was removed so easily by real American strength.

Nobody cried any tears other than your last response.

But what other choice did you have? When someone brings facts to the table you refuse to engage. When someone points out to you actual things trump said and did you have nothing to refute it.

So instead you say stupid things like "Go ahead and continue to cry your liberal tears."

It's your trademark. The same trademark many of the MAGA bunch use.

But while you're throwing your tantrum I'll drop one more little tidbit for you to get mad about................

"The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties that often happens in war, but we're doing this, not for now. We're doing this for the future, and it is a noble mission." - Donald Trump

Trump called this war. Wars require an act of congress.

The SCOTUS has already shown you trump's disregard for the rule of law by overturning his "emergency powers act" as an excuse to impose global tariffs. They deemed that action illegal. But no matter what he says, no matter what he does, in response you simply call the other side names for pointing it out.

Same as it ever was.

Every now and then I go to pay for something and think damn.

Going to Five Guys for a double cheeseburger and a milk shake. Good lord over $20.

Healthcare is unreal.

I have Medicare Advantage with UHC. I went and had some epidurals in my back. Over $30k. I didn't pay that but still.

I guess when you get old it is always the same. My father would turn in his grave if he knew what people pay for "bottled water."

When I was a teen and made $3.00 an hour I thought it was good money.

Back in the day if you made $30k a year and you were 30 years old. You were doing well.

That's what I was implying about Allar. He once was projected to be a top 5 pick but then injuries derailed that. He lost valuable game experience so that put him behind in his development. He's healthy now, supposedly, so he has some ground to make up. He still has that potential and that's why I compared him to Allen. He will need time but the physical tools are there.

You are going to be critical of anything done so who really cares about your opinion anyways. Flexing American muscle and taking out enemies that make ouir country safer on the world stage is always a good thing. Go ahead and continue to cry your liberal tears.

My 1st car was a 72 Grand Prix. Paid $300. This ild guy ran a red light at about 50 MPH in a 25 MPH zone, hitting my tank of a car hard enough to rip the transmission off the engne, and broke the frame. My 2nd was a 1971 Grand Prix that I paid $350 for. Made payments on that one.

You would have a hard time finding a junker for that today.

Pentagon to cut ties with Columbia, Yale, Brown and others Hegseth accuses of 'wokeness'

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon will forbid members of the military from attending Columbia, Yale, Brown and other universities starting next school year amid a campaign to cut ties with institutions that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called “factories of anti-American resentment.”

Hegseth announced the policy in a video posted to social media on Friday, three weeks after he said the military was cutting ties with Harvard University. Without citing evidence, Hegseth said the universities have become “breeding grounds of toxic indoctrination” that undermine military values.

“For decades, the Ivy League and similar institutions have gorged themselves on a trust fund of American taxpayer dollars, only to become factories of anti-American resentment and military disdain,” he said. “They’ve replaced the study of victory and pragmatic realism with the promotion of wokeness and weakness.”

Hegseth said the ban applies to Columbia, Princeton, Brown, Yale, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and “many others” without elaborating. He called for “complete and immediate cancellation of all Department of War attendance,” though it was not clear how broadly it would be applied.

A message seeking further details was not immediately answered by the Pentagon.

As of Friday, Columbia, Brown, MIT and Harvard were still listed as eligible institutions in a Pentagon database for its Tuition Assistance program, which covers the full cost of tuition for active-duty personnel. Harvard had 39 participants in 2023, according to the most recent data, while Columbia had nine and MIT had two.

The earlier action against Harvard aims to block members of the military from attending graduate-level professional military education, fellowships and certificate programs, according to a statement released at the time. There are still questions about whether it applies to programs such as Harvard’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program.

Harvard has offered a series of professional development programs and a small number of degree programs tailored to the Pentagon. Last year, it created a new master’s degree in public administration for active-duty military members and veterans. Hegseth earned a master’s degree from Harvard but symbolically returned his diploma in a 2022 Fox News segment.

The military offers its officers a variety of opportunities to get graduate-level education, both at war colleges run by the military as well as civilian institutions like Harvard.

Campuses across the Ivy League have been a favorite target of President Donald Trump, who accuses them of becoming overrun by “woke” ideology. His administration has cut billions of dollars in research funding and attempted a number of other sanctions against the universities, often as part of investigations into allegations that officials tolerated antisemitism on campus.

Hegseth’s announcement is a rebuke to universities that had appeared to have reached a truce with the administration in recent months. Columbia and Brown were among the earliest universities to sign deals with the White House, agreeing to a range of demands in order to have their federal funding restored.

Harvard is fighting back against such demands, alleging in lawsuits that the government is illegally retaliating against the university for rebuffing its ideological views. Last summer, Trump said he was days away from reaching a deal with Harvard, but negotiations appear to have fallen apart. Earlier this month, Trump said Harvard must pay $1 billion to the government as part of any deal, twice what he had previously demanded.

Murica! Freedumb!

These colleges and universities must be teaching black history.

Prospects college production is often misleading.

Once in the NFL all that goes out the window.

The trick is projecting young college players into the pros. What traits, characteristics, leadership and drive will make them professionals.

Once in a while a player comes out of college and has the full package. They look ready and are ready. Players like Andrew Luck and a few others.

Most of the time it is projection and risk. Like Lamar, Allen, Baker and most others.

Simpson, Allar, Nussmeier, and maybe even Mendoza are guys you evaluate and hope you are right in your assessment.

Allar could develop. He has the physical part. It remains to be seen if he has all the rest.

Simpson is a different case. His history at Alabama was sit and wait. He hung there and waited to get his chance. He was ready. He played well.

He got hurt. He took pills that caused weight loss. He numbers suffered.

At the Combine you could see he put the weight back on. He was impressive. Yes, he has limited starts but he was there for four years.

You check him out completely and decide what you think.

It is up to the Browns to find their guy. I don't care where he comes from or where he was drafted.

"Died like a dog!"

The motto of the Kristi Noem fan club.

Cuba, yet another weak target that is not capable of striking us back. I never actually thought that being a bully by picking on the little kids would be seen as a sign of strength but here we are.

The fact trump is playing bully to the little kids is not and has never scared the big kids. So now we implement regime changes in every "enemy" when it makes their "citizens happy"?

When does honesty factor into any of this? Trump claimed this was about Iran's nuclear weapons program when it is clearly obvious this was about regime change. Something republicans used to be against. You know, regime changes, installing governments and nation building? Only those on the fringe such as war hawks and those involved in the military industrial complex supported such actions because it served their own self interest.

I would just like to remind you that it was Ike who warned us about this. And Ike was also a Republican.

And speaking of Venezuela and honesty. Trump claimed that was to stop the flow of illegal drugs. Do you have any idea what a small fraction of drugs entering the U.S was coming from Venezuela? When you look at the facts about that, that too was a false premise for a regime change.................

Get the Facts: Is Venezuela a primary drug trafficker to the United States?

https://www.kcra.com/article/venezuela-drug-trafficking-cocaine-fentanyl/69676930

Let's face it, trump's goal is to attack and control how nations that are weak and vulnerable run their government's and he will lie about that end game every time.

Picking on the little kids has and will never make the big kids afraid of you. If you take an honest look at it, trump is trying to get Ukraine to reward Putin for attacking them by giving up part of it's country to one of our strongest enemies. That's another thing. Wannabe strong mean actually respect other leaders who they admire and want to be like. Thus the continued leash and support trump gives to Putin.

This dude is the GOAT Trump impersonator.

Russia and China are a different level than Iran. These moves made by the US does send a clear message to our enemies. Iran is a ally of Russia and this move definitely sent them a message that the US and the West is not playing any longer and we are strong. No apologies coming from the WH anymore. We are not weak and should not act weak. You have called Trump a bully and he is; the US should be. He is the leader of the free world and some of these countries need to remember our capabilities. Most of the citizens of Iran and the middle east are rejoicing what happened yesterday. Just like the majority of the citizens of Venezuela rejoiced a few months ago. Another enemy of the US Cuba is close to falling after that action. It has been a really good couple month for our country.
