Its would have been wiser to pursue 3 or 4 $5M mid-tier FA's given how much help the Bears need. Not to be rude but based on Tremaine's no-show performance so far with Chicago maybe the problem with Frazier's defense was they were only playing with 10 defenders?

The Bills experienced a great start last year and with their huge scoring surge the Dolphins are playing like they're this season's September champ. But what matters is being the best team in January. Should be lots of hype this week and what looks like the game of the week at the stadium next Sunday.

Objectively in times of war I don't think anyone is ever too concerned about the legal status of the conflict and reality is they're not going to be expelled by what's left of the Ukranian military absent direct NATO/US involvement in combat operations. And that's not likely. That's just how it looks and all the wishful thinking and cheerleading is not going to supply what is needed to remove the occupiers which is effective combat soldiers.

I'm left wondering how Gary states Russians didn't care about Crimea before 2014 knowing that Crimea was part of Russia until Soviet Premier Kruschev, an ethnic Ukranian, issued a decree transfering it to Ukraine?

I've seen forecasts of oil prices to $150 and continuing pressure on food costs so inflation might stick around. Watch money supply numbers as its still mostly a game of more money chasing fewer goods.

Such a system of laissez-faire capitalism is purely theoretical. Under such a system you'd also need to eliminate subsidies, protectionism, tariffs, government bailouts, tax credits and subsidies provided to business from the government. In reality the government interferes by providing support and opposition to many things involving both labor and capital. I've seen our current system described as Crony Capitalism. A search returned the following description: Crony capitalism is a term that describes an economic system in which individuals and businesses with political connections and influence are favored over others in ways that undermine fair competition and economic efficiency. Some examples of crony capitalism are: Giving tax breaks, grants, subsidies, or other forms of government assistance to certain businesses or industries that have close ties with politicians or bureaucrats. Awarding contracts, licenses, permits, or quotas to favored firms or individuals without a transparent and competitive bidding process. Protecting domestic producers from foreign competition by imposing tariffs, quotas, or other trade barriers that benefit the cronies. Granting monopolies or oligopolies to certain firms or sectors that can charge higher prices and earn higher profits without fear of new entrants or rivals. Bailing out failing or inefficient businesses or banks that are deemed “too big to fail” or “too connected to fail” by using public funds or guarantees. Crony capitalism is often seen as a form of corruption that erodes public trust and confidence in the government and the market. It also distorts the allocation of resources and creates inefficiencies and inequalities in the economy. Crony capitalism can hinder innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth by creating barriers to entry and reducing incentives for improvement. Crony capitalism can also undermine democracy and the rule of law by allowing powerful interests to influence policies and regulations that serve their own interests rather than the public good.

It would add another level of comedic tragedy to the sad state of our national politics if he somehow managed to win the 2024 election! Pardoned himself, got all these prosecutors charged, tried, and convicted for one thing or another then shipped off to Leavenworth for 20 years. Think of the entertainment value of that? We could start another 20 or 30 topics. Now that would be funny.

Menendez is an ameratuer hustler by Washington standards that should have hired Hunter and given "the big guy" his 10% to guarantee protection so the DOJ and FBI would look the other way. Taking goods and physical items vs. laundered cash is a rookie mistake.

Blow up the deep state and produce the chaos necessary to eliminate the cesspool of corruption.

I acknowledge your support for that but that commitment doesn't apply to those in the halls of power.

The difference is self-proclaimed Liberals have no concern for crimes against citizens but they have an obsession for prosecuting perceived or real crimes against the government. They go crazy over anyone that challenges the legitimacy or actions of the authority of big government because deep down they're tyrants but they won't admit that to us or themselves. They claim to abhor violence but have nary an unkind word for the tactics and methods employed by their foot soldiers in the streets by BLM and Antifa. They've moved so far left in their views that from that off the charts relative reference point they think moderates are extremists that pose a danger to the system when in truth they're the danger. its all quite an interesting mind-game.

This isn't rocket science. Physical resources for supporting asylum seekers have been exhausted and cities are reaching the breaking point. Declare a state of emergency and shut down the border.

Brand's become a real nsusance to the authorities and he neeeds to be silenced.

FBI agent Elvis Chan ducked one House subpoena request to re-appear to testify about his alleged activity in coordinating censorship efforts between the FBI and Facebook on the Hunter Biden laptop. As records procured by the House Committee show, his previous claims of having no involvement have been proven false as he appears to have lied about meetings he participated in with the Facebook censorship team. So lying to Congress. A second subpoena has been issued requesting his appearance. Once again, I'll say the intriguing part of this entire influence peddling operation is not how much cash the Biden's squeezed out of their clients but the how, who, what, and why of the people surrounding them running interference and obstructing the truth. What's their angle? Money under the table? Perks? Cheery assignments? Or just plain old stupid ideologists? I mean, if they're not getting their 10% too how stupid are they?

I saw a simple explanation of what's going on here. The extremists on the left have taken people that belong in mental institutions and put them into positions of authority in academia and government. The reason why logic and reason cannot be used to discuss or resolve anything is because the old adage has become the truth and the inmates are really running the asylums now!

Crimes against citizens, no problem. Crimes against the government. Death to you!

You should ask Antifa and BLM that question. It seems to have worked for them.

I stopped reading after the first sentence because it's a lie. along with being a belly splitting laughter. The "Deep State's" only concern is maintaining and growing its power and the rule of law is a minor nuisance that can be twisted at its convenience.

Much of what you say I can agree with regarding the MSM but I think we need to timeline-out the progression in their reporting on any particular story or point of contention from ignoring an issue to acknowledging an issue. Such as the border "crisis" example. I don't think spending a year+ proclaiming it wasn't a problem, claiming others were making a big deal over nothing, spreading the message crisis, what crisis?, and then slowly transforming their views as more and more Democratic officials pushed back and felt direct pain, then the media does a couple stories suggesting all is not hearts and flowers a year and a half into millions pouring into the country unimpeded by immigration while being flown all over the country and not pushing back on the administration with hard questions or concerns doesn't equate to the media "covering" the story.

The economy is about to fall off a cliff and deteriorate into the 2024 election. Everyone is getting super pissed and have had enough of the open border. Gas prices are rising. The markets are going to be unstable. And the job market is going to cool dramatically. Credit card debt is as high as it ever was and its not a sign of affluence. GDP revisions coming next week probably won't look too good. The proxy war in Ukraine is going to be viewed as another big, expense policy flop. Internationally, we're losing support and credibility with each passing day. But yeah, the Democrat have it locked up.

What I haven't seen anywhere in the MSM yet are references to this statement by the Polish PM communicating a surprising about-face by one of the most ardent supporters of Ukraine. With an election coming and popularity for war support falling compounded by Ukrainian grain flooding the Polish market the politics have changed dramatically.

I'm not playing the dirtiest pig in the mud hole game. Go ahead, name other sleezy characters. We can discuss them elsewhere. Garland is compromised by politics, the law is an afterthought. As for the special prosecutor, better late than never? But after obstructing investigators like those at the IRS, letting the statute of limitations run out on the most serious charges, and burying evidence like the infamous laptop, what's the point? It's just for show to set up a public facade for getting them to believe Hunter hasn't been protected, or as we've discussed on the board on other topics, being above the law. Which he most certainly has been protected by dad's employees at DOJ and FBI. At the end of the day Joe Biden is protecting Joe Biden.

Hunter is suing a guy that released the e-mails and other items on the laptop claiming invasion of privacy. And all along the media and the President's supporters have been claiming the contents of the laptop were created in some intelligence facility in Moscow. And it's all a Russian psych-op. The shop owner, the people on those e-mails, anyone believing it was real, Russian agents and spreaders of disinformation. All subject to censorship. But how can you sue somebody for invading your privacy when what was published wasn't your property and you've been claiming its all fictitious? By filing a lawsuit Hunter's saying those 51 IC chaps that signed that letter saying it was a Russian operation are natural born liars and the stuff is really his. Which contradicts the story they've been telling. Its wasn't the Russians after all. Who'd have guessed that? So everyone peddling the establishment narrative about a fake laptop is guilty of spreading disinformation or misinformation and why aren't the social media sites marking posts claiming the laptop is the product of Russian agents being brought down, censored, or having warning, this in disinformation added to those posts? One lie begets more lies.

How about some of our enlightened and morally superior liberal posters advocating for open borders and supporting the administration's all are welcome policy hosting 3 or 4 families in their residence? I want to see real and personal conviction and commitment to the cause. Now's your chance to shame the rest of us with deeds rather than your empty words.

This is the guy leading the prosecution of people for misdemeanor trespassing being held without bail or trail for two years lying his ass off in front of Congress and then heading home for the evening rather than some Federal penitentiary. Using the cognitive impairment defense. Slimy weasel.
