  1. so without much info being released, is it safe to assume it's a white male. Most likely suffering from discrimination due to minority preference and rejection from women who only accept dates from alpha men >6 ft tall.
  2. Has anyone confirmed or asked Hegseth if he's lived up to the promise of not having a drink while he's secretary of defense? Or did his title change to secretary of war provide him with a loophole to get out of that promise? Of course, I don't think he's allowed a real reporter to talk to him since he took office.
  3. While I think it was horrific, Bush's team at least wanted to provide their team with legal cover. Trump's team will write an excuse/legal brief well afterwards. "12-4-25 Hegseth can do whatever he needs to do to keep the evil Venezuelan horde and their fentanyl out of America. signed Epstein's mother."
  4. Love how RFK is doing the exact opposite of what he promised in his nomination hearings. And by love I mean hate.
  5. I would avoid going for “max” dividends as those can be risky and they may distribute at the same levels their share price is dropping. SCHD and SPYD are 2 good conservative funds of dividend paying companies. SCHD pays out a little less but they have higher dividend growth over time. SPYD is a decent 4.5% annual yield and low risk. And while their share price could drop with overall market drop, if you mainly care about their dividends, their ongoing share price doesn’t matter. You will keep receiving about the same dividend with a 2-3% annual growth. (I don’t mean 4.5% becomes 7%. 4.5% becomes 4.6% in year 2.)
  6. Late quote bump, but have you thought about trying to make yourself closer to 40 with ~15 years experience? At least on your resume. drop the oldest experience and remove years from your education list. i understand that people are proud of their accomplishments and experience but the name of the game is earning a paycheck not highlighting a server upgrade back in 2002. Don’t flat out lie but don’t broadcast that you’re 50. Make them assume you’re 40. Im 56 and my resume wouldn’t have anything before 2008, which is when I started at one particular company. And when I’m interviewing a candidate, I seriously don’t care about any experience older than 10 years ago. It’s irrelevant for many positions especially individual contributors up to mid level mgrs.
  7. When new head coaches sign a contract with a school, are there constraints that prevent them from immediately fielding or accepting offers from other schools? Like a 1-2 year period that they can’t leave without a massive buyout owed to the school. In other words could someone like a Penn St even go after Kiffin today? (This is an example not saying that is a real possibility.)
  8. Wish this was an open session but word will quickly leak what he says. I want to understand how drug operations were continuing after the videos we’ve seen of the boat becoming very inoperable.
  9. Trump will pardon him and claim the complainers are anti Americans and want drugs in the country.
  10. But we were told that the program, including finances, were never better.
  11. We've learned that a SCOTUS ruling can be overturned. I don't think there is any reason to believe that a President is immune from a bribery charge. Perhaps not while in office but definitely afterwards. Now perhaps the Supreme Court could say otherwise. Did they specifically say that a ex-President couldn't be held accountable via a criminal prosecution after they leave office?
  12. All of his pardons and commutations should be reviewed by the next Dem admin, and decide if there were any illegal activity behind the pardon. If so, the pardon should be considered invalid. And I would argue that any questionable pardon should include jailing the person while it’s quickly adjudicated. overall we need laws defining that a pardon cannot involved any financial benefit for the president or anyone in the administration, either directly or indirectly. Or honesty, I think a judge could rule on this as well.
  13. And the sovereign citizen says this from behind a closed window, refusing to lower it.
  14. Williams had a drop off in production this year (as of now) so he might be discontented at Bama. Only 4 TDs vs 8 last year. He could be promised more targets and $$$ but it could also lead to playing for a 8-4 team and no playoff.
  15. who would have guessed that a country that can build a city overnight can also have questionable safety standards.
  16. Does anyone not believe that Hegseth ordered the military to kill everyone on the Venezuelan boats, including a second strike to take out any survivors? I would actually be surprised if someone demonstrated that Hegseth was told there were survivors and didn't order a second strike.
  17. I don't know if the student reporter was the first to throw "you can't turn a hoe into a housewife" onto Kiffin, but that is going to follow Kiffin at every turn. The best part is that he's now shown that it bothers him so the rest of the SEC is turn it up to an 11. And forget it just being signs at Gameday, he will hear it personally from strangers.
  18. Everyone in the GOP is refusing to comment on the Honduran president pardon (has it actually happened?) They all recognize how preposterous it is that we're killing smugglers but willing to free someone from the top of the drug orgs.
  19. Alina's case to stay as the NJ US Attorney has been rejected by an appeals court. Now it will be up to the Supreme Court to allow her to stay or every case that she touched or authorized is at risk.
  20. Tangentially related: my social media algorithm has locked in that I love watching videos of people arguing their rights to police. The worst (best) are the sovereign citizens who break out printed supreme court cases to educate the police officer on the side of the road why they don't have to produce an ID.
  21. Guarantee that Kash has googled, "How to stand like a man."
  22. top 3? come on man. you can't really say that with a straight face. I will give you top 10. Do you even watch college football? And talent per capita means nothing like I wrote. Hawaii and DC are high up on the per capita lists but it's just playing with stats. Yes, I agree LA produces a lot of talent but there's zero barrier to someone leaving the state. I imagine that many of the NFL players from Louisiana attended LSU or Louisiana Tech but I bet the majority attended school elsewhere.
  23. I struggle to accept the idea that LSU has this mythical edge because they’re the only large program in a state that has talent. I’ve seen a chart floating around that shows NFL players per state capita with LA at the top. Wtf does that even mean. The same chart shows DC is a hotbed of talent but should Georgetown be a top team in D1? yes, I bet that some mommas and daddies want their son to be nearby in BR and all of their relatives can see them play, But this isn’t 1950 where parents and relatives can’t easily travel. Boosters can effectively hand money to parents now to cover the costs. And it’s not like the other SEC school are far away to begin with. finally every coach will remind recruits that Kiffin has a history of walking away from players while he demands loyalty. kiffin will be gone within 5.
  24. Looks like they understood the election consequences but their neighbors didn’t. Thanks for researching.
  25. Small (200 people) Virginia town loses its only health clinic due to Trump budget cuts. CNN link I can’t quickly find the town election results totals but the wider county of 77k went 75-25 Trump. They also recently voted in a Republican for their state rep over a Democrat physician. The Dem lost by 40 points.
