Funny enough, I was stranded by Hurricane Milton because Orlando was shut down. They canceled all of my flights. I pushed hard for them to honor my first flight and leave me in Reykjavik for a couple of nights but they said no, because one flight was canceled, both had to be. Instead I had to spend an extra couple of nights in Paris. When I finally got there for my layover they were promoting to extend your layover a couple of nights for free. I was so upset that they didn't let me do that in the first place, haha.

Historians generally agree that at least 42 known assassination attempts or plots were made on Adolf Hitler's life between the 1930s and 1945. These attempts ranged from solitary gunmen and poison plots to complex, high-level military conspiracies, with many failing due to unexpected changes in Hitler’s schedule, faulty equipment, or luck.

Another swing and a miss!

I just have a few things that seem quite confusing which I thought you may possibly help provide some clarity on. I know those on the other end of the spectrum won't touch it so I thought possibly you could.

The last two times trump was going to send Kushner and Witkof, and one of those two time Vance as well, Iran made it clear they would not be meeting with the U.S. The first time they said that they wouldn't even be there and the second time they said they were only there to talk to the Pakistani representatives in the peace talks and had no plans to speak with the U.S. Yet trump planned those trips and didn't cancel them until the last moment.

All along he has contended that Iran was the party most wishing for a deal. "They are dying to make a deal!" On April 17th trump told CBS news Iran had "agreed to everything," including the removal of enriched uranium and ceasing support for proxy groups.

So if all that's true why isn't Iran showing up? If that's true why hasn't a deal already been signed? If Iran is "desperate to make deal" why is it the only people that have planned a trip to negotiate a peace deal between Iran and the U.S. since the first meeting been the U.S.?

And probably the most confusing part of this................

Trump claims that there is so much infighting going on in Iran they themselves don't even know who is running the country.

If that's true why is the U.S. agreeing to and attempting to holding peace talks with Iran? If Iran can't figure out who is in charge of their own country how can this administration know who is running Iran? If what they are saying is true how do they know the people they are negotiating these peace talks with would even have the power and authority to honor such a peace deal if one is agreed upon?

watson will not be a dead horse until he leaves Cleveland. Until then that horse is still breathing.

I guess there is no rule against beating a dead horse.

I am now a Green fan. He might whip everybody in the room. Don't know if I am bigger, better Browns fan by rooting for somebody or against somebody. I will play it safe and do both. Welcome, Green!

It would not surprise me - but I'd like some proof or to hear official channels comment.

Green means no chance of Watson being resigned. Sanders and Green will end up being the only QBs on this team next season if Sanders survives.

Quoted for quadruplfication.

My original intent was a fishing trip.

There is a strain of brown trout there in a lake that once drained into the ocean. The lake is now land locked and the trout are the largest in the world.

In addition it is renowned for Atlantic salmon and arctic char fishing.

Geologically it is raw. Most active volcanoes in the world. Dozens of unique waterfalls and canyons.

This trip is about site seeing with my daughter and grandsons.

NBC News Drops Bombshell Report on Trump War Battle Damage: ‘Far Worse’ Than Trump Team Said

NBC News Drops Bombshell Report on Trump War Battle Damage

NBC News dropped a bombshell report on Saturday that multiple government officials say damage to U.S. military bases was much more extensive than President Donald Trump’s officials have publicly disclosed.

The president is preparing to speak at his first White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) in office on Saturday night, as will frequent press attackers like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and FCC Chair Brendan Carr.

Pentagon reporting has been in the administration’s crosshairs, but a parade of anonymous government sources nevertheless contributed to the reporting by NBC’s Gordon Lubold, Courtney Kube, Mosheh Gains, and Natasha Lebedeva.

The team attributed six sources for their report, which revealed that repairs from the Iran War damage will cost billions:

American military bases and other equipment in the Persian Gulf region suffered extensive damage from Iranian strikes that is far worse than publicly acknowledged and is expected to cost billions of dollars to repair, according to three U.S. officials, two congressional aides and another person familiar with the damage.

The Iranian regime swiftly retaliated after the Trump administration attacked on Feb. 28, hitting dozens of targets across U.S. military bases in seven Middle East countries. Those attacks struck warehouses, command headquarters, aircraft hangars, satellite communications infrastructure, runways, high-end radar systems and dozens of aircraft, according to the U.S. officials and an assessment by the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C.

In the initial days of the war, an Iranian F-5 fighter jet bombed the U.S. base Camp Buehring in Kuwait, despite the base having air defenses, a rare breach that marked the first time an enemy fixed-wing aircraft has struck an American military base in years, according to two of the U.S. officials.

The U.S. bases that came under attack are home to thousands of American troops, and in some cases their families, though they were largely cleared out in the days and hours before the U.S. and Israeli went to war with Iran.

Where things stand
• Trip canceled: President Donald Trump said he no longer plans to send a US delegation to Pakistan this weekend, blaming “infighting” in Iran for derailing potential talks and saying the trip would have been “too much work.” Trump said the cancellation does not mean fighting will resume.

• Stalled peace effort: The White House had hoped to renew peace talks by sending envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad, but Tehran never confirmed plans to meet directly. Iran’s top diplomat has already left Pakistan after talks with mediators.

• In Lebanon: Meanwhile, Israel has launched more deadly strikes on southern Lebanon, according to the country’s health ministry, despite a ceasefire agreement recently extended by three weeks. Iran-backed Hezbollah has fired rockets into northern Israel.

There's nothing better than having a great relationship with your neighbors and not being an azz to them.

I spent a day in Reykjavik a few years back as we got stranded by our airline for about 24 hours while returning from the Middle East. So my time spent there was minimal and didn’t allow for real exploration. I can say it’s the smallest capitol city I’ve ever been to. My buddies and I rented stand up scooters and zoomed around the city to see the sights. Can’t say much about it as there’s not much to see as far as a city goes. I can say it’s one the pricey side. It was also dark still at like 10am. It was November though so their nights are LONG.
My friends have actually gone and spent time in the country visiting the hot springs and such. Their photos were beautiful.

They only seem to focus on mail in ballots before elections. Then if they lose they have set the stage to have a built in excuse to blame it on claiming they are being cheated or the election being stolen. If they win the election you never hear anything from them about the fact they won could be because of cheating by mail in ballots or anyone cheated because they won. Yet the same process was used in all of those elections.

Just look, we're less than seven months away from the mid term elections and suddenly it's a topic of discussion....... again.

Like sand through the hour glass.....

thx

I haven’t been there on land, just the airport on a layover, but was talking about it recently to someone who did. The biggest takeaway they had was to rent a car. The destinations are gorgeous but they aren’t close together. Never looked into it further but there is a strong possibility that will be our next destination in a year or two. This year we are off to Japan.

Who here actually believe the 2020 election was stolen?
