Cue the Dems to use this to compare Trump to Mao, Stalin and/or Hitler.

Good thread. I'm enjoying reading it. I just recently rewatched Hitler on AMC. I'll watch anything about Hitler or WWII. Fascinating.

That "video" is scenes from the movie Vision Quest.

After requesting the Browns trade him so he could go elsewhere to win a Super Bowl, the Browns on Sunday agreed to terms with Garrett on an four-year, $160 million extension through 2030 worth $40 million a year, including $123.5 million in guarantees.

Is one of these igotworms? I don't know who is who with all the name changes.

Fair enough.

I don't understand why the Titans are not expected to take a QB. They should draft a QB #1 overall. They need a great franchise quarterback and they're not getting one drafting a defensive pass rusher or Travis Hunter.

SpaceX at the request of Trump and direction of Elon Musk launched to return our astronauts that were stranded in space during the Biden administration.

https://nypost.com/2025/03/15/us-news/columbia-anti-israel-protester-mahmoud-khalil-had-hatred-for-jewish-state-ex-classmate/ Detained anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil seethed with hatred for the Jewish state, according to a former classmate who told The Post he was an “insidious” presence at Columbia University. The female graduate student, who is Jewish, said she even dropped a class they took together last fall at the Ivy’s famed School of International and Public Affairs because he made her feel so “uncomfortable” — and her formal complaints to the college fell on deaf ears. “It would almost be easier if he were some terrifying looking man who threatened to punch people in the face, but he wasn’t,” she said. “He was very soft-spoken and careful with his words, which almost made him seem more insidious, because it was so intentional – he was never being hyperbolic, he was very clear. He was never joking.” “You know, he wears polos,” she continued. “It’s not like you meet him and are scared that he’s going to beat you up. To me, it was scary how he was so clearly extreme and so unshakeable in his worldview, which is a very scary worldview, in my opinion.” Khalil’s laptop especially freaked her out. It strategically sported one sticker – a map of Israel and Palestine with the Jewish state completely blacked out as if it was wiped off the face of the Earth, she recalled. “It was just so clear that the thing driving him most in life is destroying Israel and everyone within it and anyone who supports it, and probably all Jews … That to me was scary, that something could consume you like that,” the first-year student said. Khalil, 30, also routinely boasted in class that he headed the Students for Justice in Palestine movement at Columbia and “didn’t love Jews.” He was a frequent no-show to class, which centered on Israeli politics, the student recalled. And when he did attend lectures, he disrespectfully interrupted his professor, who is Israeli. “Everything about Israel was illegitimate; everything about Zionism was illegitimate because, in his mind, it’s like a farce and a fallacy to think otherwise,” she said. And Khalil routinely “targeted” Jewish students in a WhatsApp group chat the class shared, she added. “Once or twice a week, he would just go in [the group chat] and basically instigate crazy claims that were just very antisemitic and really inflammatory, and would get into fights with people,” she said. Reading directly from the chat, she recounted, “One day a Jewish student had said, ‘I’m disturbed by the normalization of the insane amount of antisemitism spewed in this chat in the last few months. Disappointed and shameful.’ To that, Mahmoud said, ‘Thank you. This is exactly what some are trying to do so hard in this conversation: Conflate Judaism and Zionism, so it’s easier for them to shut down any criticism of the colonial, genocidal state of Israel.’ The student said it was such erratic behavior that drove her to drop the class — although she didn’t dare confront him. “I just didn’t want to become a target of his,” she said. The student, however, anonymously filed two Title VI complaints with Columbia administrators about his antisemitic rants within the group chat — but nothing ever came of them, she said. Following the bloodshed and the start of the Israel-Hamas war, Khalil became a driving force behind many of the anti-Israel protests, organizing takeovers and building encampments that plagued Columbia for more than a year, and he is now the poster boy for President Donald Trump’s crackdown on antisemitic college protesters. Khalil was grabbed by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents March 8 at his Columbia-owned apartment building and later transferred to a detention facility in Louisiana, where he faces deportation. The student said that after she learned the news of his detention it “literally felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders.” “All week, I have felt safer on campus and like I have a pep in my step,” she said. “I used to feel so much anxiety, but I literally feel safer now. “I really do think this country is probably safer without him here, like I don’t know how he got a green card,” she said. “He seems very much like he hates America and everything it stands for, and I think he’s done a lot to cause harm and violence here, and I could see him doing more.” She also believes the university should have held Khalil accountable for his Jew-hating ways. “There have been so many reports filed against him,” she claimed. “He was not in compliance with academic standards. They bent over backwards to not expel him, and I think if they would have followed their own rules, we would not be here now.” Khalil — a Syrian-born Palestinian who is also a citizen of Algeria — fled to Lebanon at 18 after a civil war broke out in Syria to pursue an undergraduate degree in computer science at the Lebanese American University in Beirut.

Why do you hate America?

For a second I thought you actually thought Adonai Mitchell was going to have a good 2025 season. haha. Good post!

I love that Drew Lock balled out and the Giants won and lost the chance at the #1 overall pick.

I had a choice between Journey Frontiers cassette tape or the newer Journey Raised on Radio which had just come out at the time, 1986. Thought the Raised on Radio would have more good songs. Not sure if I made the right choice. The song in the first post is a great song.

They should dust these documents for fingerprints.

Tim says it doesn't cost the govt anything to have illegals here and the illegals actually help the US and we couldn't function without them.

We might want to deport or arrest sympathizers of these Hamas supporters too.

Well you are wrong then.

I was maybe 7 pounds heavier at my last Doctor appt and my doctor brings up how great Ozempic works and how so many of his patients and family members take it. It suppresses appetite. I can eat less and/or better without Ozempic. It's an injection once a week and expensive. I'm thinking the makers of Ozempic hire really good Pharmaceutical reps who are pushing doctors hard to prescribe it.

Why would domestic liquor producers be hurt? This actually helps them. Your statement doesn’t make sense.

It’s clear Trump has clearly thought about these tariffs and knows exactly what he’s doing. proof: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/adjusting-imports-of-aluminum-into-the-united-states/

Well something needs to be done when they don't follow federal law.

The fundraiser for Mangione's legal defense has collected over $720,000.

I delete all texts and all call history.

I thought you said we pay more because of tariffs. So, if Canada puts tariffs on us they will pay more by that logic and only hurt themselves. Refute that logic.
