  1. The court didn't rule illegals can't be deported. Just not under then Enemies Act. This ruling appears to be correct given the intent of that Act. The ruling sets some parameters but it won't end deportations.
  2. What's left unanswered is the motivations for American scientific and government experts to lie?
  3. Either a game wrecker DT or a shutdown CB in round 1. Beane and the staff must hit on this pick. Its got to be a day one starter. I think the 2 or 3 stars on both sides of the ball, rather than 5 or 6 above average guys has merit. An example in another sport is the Penguins. Crosby, Malkin, and Latang with dozens of supporting players coming in and going out over 20 years.
  4. I don't think any of that is important. The big picture is China poses a national security threat, has thousands of its citizens in the US spying and stealing IP and technology, has co-oped business and political leaders here through elite capture operations, all with the purpose of replacing America as world power to impose the CCP's system on the world. Not to mention running drugs and trafficking operations into the US with the the clear goal of creating social discourse and division. Why does anyone think we should continue enabling their growth by running huge trade deficits, continue tranfering technology that at the time of their choosing will be used agsinst us, and remain dangerously dependent on China for many critical materials and products? And incredibly, all on terms extremely favorable to them. It's either take the pain of retaking control of the arrangements now under our terms or taking even greater pain and losing our way of life later under their terms. What I don't understand is why political leaders of both parties and presidential adminitrations let this happen. Helping the biggest threat to our country, something clear 20+ years ago, to become stronger.
  5. The Liberals in the U.S. and Canada don't want to let in any white Christians into the country that have the capacity of assimilating into the main culture. They want multi-cultural chaos.
  6. I'm not against letting him out of prison but he shouldn't be allowed to comes back to the US.
  7. Please stop using the pretense you have some higher moral standards than others, including me, to avoid admitting my conclusions about the goal are accurate and correct.
  8. The Dems don't care at all about a non-citizen deported to some foreign prison. But he serves an important purpose. What they care about is using this situation to facilitate the use of the courts to block the ability of the administration to reverse the flow of illegals facilitated under the Biden administration. Clog up the courts with millions of trials and hearings while demanding "due process" to prevent deportations. File millions of individual motions that must be evaluated and ruled on. Everyone knows there just aren't enough resources in the judicial system to process so many individual cases. Grind the system to a halt. That's the game and whatever side of the argument you're on you know it.
  9. I suspect for the moment Trump is only interested in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Ontario, with Toronto and British Columbia, with Vancouver are populated by Chinese Triad gangs running drug and money laundering operations with the consent of the government in Ottawa.
  10. I said it before. Harvard has a $53 billion endowment fund. They have the option of funding their activities independent of grants and subsidies from the US taxpayer. My dad used to say financial independence will buy you a lot of freedom. I think that's true. Harvard should follow that advice and buy freedom to do as they please rather than presenting themselves as a victim of government censorship. A rich victim with the means to support their activities that instead chooses to mooch off the taxpayer while demanding autonomy from any conditions of that funding. Like any financial arrangement, don't like the conditions, don't take the money. Problem solved.
  11. Bernie was at Coachella preaching to the crowd about the hardships that people like them are having to endure. People oppressed by the policies of the current administration, that can spend $700+ on show tickets and thousands more to enjoy a few days of entertainment. Hardships? That's comical. But that's how coastal liberal elites view themselves and the world. Higher prices on essentials like Guacamole sets them off into a panic.
  12. Should I just have said stop the pity party about every little thing and just deal with it and adapt to the situation?
  13. I believe the charges would include "falsifying business records" to hide fraud. Where have we heard that before?
  14. The problem here is the Houthi's are not America's problem. Nothing much of American inbound and outbound ocean freight and commerce flows thru the Red Sea. It's trade between and among Europe and Asia. Let them put together an international task force and get our Navy out of there and deploy our forces to actual strategic missions.
  15. Harvard has a $53 billion endowment fund. They don't need taxpayers money. Problem solved. But the cheapskate intellectual elitists prefer to mooch off the rest of us rather than spend their own cash.
  16. Because China's economy is already cracking, there is no other market that will be willing to take the US bound products, dumping won't be tolerated, an outcome where millions of workers will be unemployed will be threat to the regime. I don't see the world answering the call from Xi to join China against America. Selling treasuries is more a mechanism of funding the defense of their currency than a retaliation. And even if it is, when push comes to shove Treasury or the Fed will enter the market and buy up the paper. The dollar is still the reserve and trade settlement currency and the advantages of that are a strong weapon. The danger is this provokes an attack on Tiawan. And creates a recession here. But it's not like there won't ever be another recession in forever. An obvious problem is the lead time for bringing back industries. And the costs. But what's the cost of doing nothing and letting China take control of the world and impose CCP like control over it? Isn't saving democracy worth some sacrifice and temporary inconvenience? And if it becomes a hot war waiting until their military capabilities exceed ours would be foolish.
  17. China didn't attack? Tell that to Taiwan, Vietnam, and Phillipines when it comes to aggressive actions in the South China Sea. And sure US citizens benefited from trade with China. But that benefit was not distributed equally. Ask workers that lost their jobs, businesses that went under, and residents of thousands of small towns and cities turned into ghost towns. Most of the benefit went to US based multinational corporations, the government that found an eager buyer for Treasury paper, and political and social elites paid millions to advocate for China through a program the CCP calls elite capture. One danger is decades of offshoring industrial capacity has left industries essential to national defense, like ship building a critical weakness. There won't be any great mobilization of civilian industry to convert to defense production like during WW2 because there’s not much left to convert. Our exposure is frightening. But most American have no stomach for any battle. They're perfectly happy buying over-priced iPhones, cheap consumer goods, and low quality, throw away, item like appliances with short service lives. When China gets powerful enough to overtake the US all this will go away in an instant. The administration has decided to take them on now, on our terms, rather than wait for the fight later on their terms. And make no mistake they intend to dominate the world. Under their political and social system. Curious how the posters crying about protecting democracy are so eager to side with China to give ours away.
  18. What's funny is these fringe nutjobs might actually believe they're some kind of heroes rather than simply losers damaging some other liberals electric car.
  19. Those Islamic sharia law countries like the UK and France don't like you making fun of people.
  20. He ran a 4.5 40 and benched 225 24 times at this year's draft combine.
  21. 25+ years of US administrations and corporations supporting and enabling China's growth makes it difficult to summarize in a few sentences the threat all of that has created for America. But what is clear is our leadership has ignored those threats which leaves us vulnerable. It looks like the strategy is to take them on now, on our terms, rather than put it off to the point its on their terms. At the same time this threatens what some call globalist interests. What I simply say are multinational corporations. Simply, Trump needs to dismantle their world order which has supported China's growth. I believe Trump will be successful but not without a lot of pain. If you're paying attention you will know that China's economy is not is such great shape. I wouldn't be so sure hundreds of millions of suddenly unemployed and exploited Chinese workers pissed off at the CCP is going to be so easy to handle.
  22. Agree or disagree with the tariffs, Trump clearly telegraphed his intentions and provided investors with enough lead time to act. So anybody licking their wounds from losing part of their 401/IRA had ample warning to adjust their investments by selling and parking the proceeds in cash to ride it out or by adding some downside insurance, to hedge, to mitigate the risk of loss. If they did nothing it's their own fault they lost money. That said, I expect nobody wants to hear that message.
  23. I've read some opinion pieces that suggest the tariffs are about dismantling the current global order, which now favors China more than the US, on our terms rather than theirs. What I don't get about the strategy is then why involve the rest of our trading partners in the dispute? Here's a link to one: https://blog.exitgroup.us/p/deglobalization-is-over-determined
  24. It doesn't matter what I want and frankly I don't see how you're response has anything to do with my comments about China and the Fed. Are you confused or something? You go off on some MAGA rant that is unrelated to, well anything. Exactly what economic "theory" are you proposing we follow? After some inspection of the situation, my conclusion is these tariffs are misplaced anger. China and other developing countries that ship "cheap" goods into the US are not the villain. Its the doings of American and multi-national corporations that moved their operations out of the US in pursuit of cheap labor, lax environmental standard, and favorable business rules and regulations. Trump should be targeted CEO's of those corporations, not leaders of our trading partners. And instead of looking to extend his corporate tax breaks they should be threatening them with windfall profits taxes if they don't get on board with moving some operations back to the US. Using Apple as an example, they sell an iPhone that costs about $25 to manufacture and charge customers $1,000. Tax their profits at 90%, let their stock crash, and investors revolt, and see the CEO's big pay package crash in flames. That will produce the desired actions and decisions in a couple minutes.
