  1. If this is election interference, the Democrat produced fake dossier should end the entire Democrat Party.
  2. Terrible. A peace deal would mean Israel loses the war and Hamas remains in power. Israel already said they won't stop until it's finished.
  3. You don't have to wonder if you read the article, there's an excuse for every price as not being based on the Presidency.

    Neighbors barking dogs

    I texted my neighbor a few months ago, as their two small dogs barking was excessive when I can hear it multiple times a day every day from inside my house with all doors and windows closed.. I got a response. Not sure if it helped, maybe a little. Need to talk to the neighbor on the other side who has two Marmaduke sized dogs, not that size matters with barking. I'm just going to say it, I hate dogs!
  7. It's group think, similar to fantasy football where the majority rank and draft based on everyone else's draft (adp) before them.
  8. I think some people cannot emotionally handle voting for Trump even if logically they think they should.
  9. Yea, you're right, but even without abortion I have a hard time seeing any slightly liberal woman in suburbia ever voting Donald Trump.

    Why don't Dogs get CTE?

    Maybe they do and the research post-mortem hasn't been done to look for it.
  11. White suburban women already largely voted Biden over Trump last election. The rest are likely staunch conservatives who vote Trump again.

    *** NBA Thread 2023-24 ***

    Rudy Gobert will miss tonight's playoff game for the Minnesota Timberwolves because of the birth of a son. Same guy touching microphones during Covid who was the first Covid case that shut down the NBA. https://www.si.com/nba/timberwolves/news/timberwolves-rudy-gobert-out-for-game-2-against-nuggets I guess him and his wife never heard of being induced early, c-section, or planning a pregnancy not to coincide with the NBA playoffs.

    Is there any advice on maximizing odds and payouts when deciding how many horses to bet and what exactly to bet (exacta, exacta box, exacta box with 3 horses, trifecta box)?

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/nypd-release-video-showing-professional-025331163.html NYPD release video showing professional 'protest consultant' at Columbia University Fithian is a professional "protest consultant" who has been arrested over 80 times, Laura Ingraham of "The Ingraham Angle" said on her show Tuesday night. Fithian has reportedly participated in protests on climate change, Occupy Wall Street, and now, the Free Palestine movement. After midnight Tuesday, Fithian was seen on video instructing a mob of anti-Israel agitators as they took over an academic building at Columbia University. In one video clip, protesters were seen carrying a table, while in the background, Fithian could be heard saying, "I can’t help with that. You guys can help with that." In another clip, the mob was seen attaching a piece of furniture to the door of a building, while Fithian tells people with cameras to move back. During "The Ingraham Angle" on Tuesday evening, Ingraham spoke with Ira Stoll, the founder and editor of theeditors.com, about Fithian and what she gets out of helping to train the new generation of activists. "Some of the people involved are being paid money," Stoll said, explaining he authored an article for The Wall Street Journal recently about how these groups are advertising for fellows to be paid $3,000 to work eight hours a week for three months, on campuses across the U.S. "Some of the people who have been quite prominently in these protests have been paid fellows with hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Soros Open Society Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. "So, there’s big money behind these protests," Stoll added. He also spoke about how many of the people at the anti-Israel protests taking place at campuses like Columbia University are the same people who attend Black Lives Matter protests, as well as anti-Trump protests. "It’s the same people out protesting. I’ve seen them," Stoll said. "They just like to protest." He compared it to people who go out on weekends to play sports or go to religious services. "This is an activity for these people, and until the revolution is accomplished, they’re not going to stop, or else until they are in jail," he said.

    Columbia University President is MUSLIM And a woman. No wonder she allowed this to go this far. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minouche_Shafik Shafik was born in Alexandria, Egypt, to Muslim parents who were both educators.[7] Her father was a scientist and wealthy landowner.[8][9] As a child, she went to Schutz American School. When she was four, the Egyptian government nationalized (brought into public ownership) her father's property[10] and the family moved to Savannah, Georgia in the mid-1960s, then to Miami and Raleigh, North Carolina.[11] It seems the faculty at Columbia are an even bigger problem than the president: Her actions in ordering the arrests were criticised by the American Association of University Professors, PEN America, president Serene Jones of Union Theological Seminary, and the Columbia College Student Council.[37][38][39] Faculty denounced what it called an "unprecedented assault on student rights".[2] Hundreds of Columbia professors staged a walkout and signed onto an open letter criticizing her handling of the demonstrations.

    Whoever is the President of Columbia University they have completely failed at any sort of leadership by not putting a stop to this situation. All they have to do is call the police. edit: the President could also threaten suspensions and follow through on it.

    It's called Embryology and it should be taught as early as possible in every state. Fascinating stuff.

    Worstest And Bestist Songs By A Band

    Photograph and Too Late for Love are my favorites. I just saw Def Leppard at an outdoor concert last summer. They're still really good. Motley Crue is not good live today as I also saw them at the same concert.

    whoa, karma, that guy is such a d-bag and probably the player I've most hated because he was a dirty player.

    What Do You Think Ruined The NBA ?

    The announcers gushing over routine plays. Last night Lebron made a bounce pass to Hachimura from the free throw line to the front of the rim. I could make that pass. The announcer acted like only Lebron could make that play. The other thing I can't stand is the commercial breaks, the repeated stupid Google Pixel phone commercials and the Wing Stop terrible rap / Jenga commercial is so damn focking annoying. Otherwise, I like the NBA and the premise of this thread question is leading and not agreed to by me.
