  1. State of New York: What about this doctor? Can I listen to her?
  2. Dam. One mistake. Oops. Out of how many? Oh well. If only you losers didn’t acknowledge the same “small numbers” of those killed by illegals like Laken Riley maybe I’d care about this one clerical error with the same fake vigor as you. Maybe if you maintained the same integrity standards you’ll hold this one off to - while immediately calling the administration as evil - apply that to the illegals committing violent crimes in this country. I’m sure there are more they’ll figure it out. They’ll get this guy illegal or not back here. Laken Riley will not be coming back.
  3. The same people crying about tariffs.
  4. So the latest ruling tonight from President District Court Judge isn’t even based in law - he just says it appears racist to want to remove TPS for Venezuelans here …. That’s it’s a terrible burden they’ll have to endure if deported. Remember - they want to do this because they desperately want “Trump to defy the Courts” headlines.
  5. Go Ukraine! For the democacy!
  6. That’s what I think too and why if I’m the Giants and those are the first 2 picks, that’s what I’d do. I guess I didn’t clarify that in the post. But my thinking is no team wants to say definitively what he’s going to be right now. Mine was primarily CB.
  7. But why oh why do these tariffs exist on us? Good thing the Old Media, like Old Europe, is dead.
  8. U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld touched a nerve in Europe this week, dividing the continent into what he called "old Europe" and "new Europe." Reaction from France and Germany -- which Rumsfeld put squarely in the "old" category -- was swift and harsh. But the U.S. official's underlying point cannot be denied. On Iraq, divisions in Europe appear to run deep, with the main fault line falling between NATO's "older" European members and its new ones. Prague, 24 January 2003 (RFE/RL) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld this week put his finger on an uncomfortable division in Europe with his comment that the continent could be broken into "old" and "new" categories -- at least with respect to its thinking on Iraq. Rumsfeld, responding to a reporter's question on 22 January about "European" opposition to the use of force in Iraq, said the reporter meant France and Germany, which were part of "old" Europe. He contrasted them with the vitality of the "new" Europe -- made up in large part of NATO's new, formerly communist, inductees. "You're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't. I think that's 'old Europe.' If you look at the entire NATO Europe today, the center of gravity is shifting to the East. And there are a lot of new members. And if you just take the list of all the members of NATO and all of those who have been invited in recently -- what is it, 26, something like that? [But] you're right. Germany has been a problem, and France has been a problem. https://www.rferl.org/amp/1102012.html
  9. That was 25 years ago. And you were probably only 1 at the time, but Western Europe was not as “helpful” as you seem to think. It got to the point Donald Rumsfeld was essentially saying - to heck with Old (Western) Europe - the future is New Eastern Europe - former Soviet bloc territory. Bc the Old Europe was not so eager to help. We had to play World Police in Afghanistan. Which, fine. We will defend FREEDOM (not democracy) around the world. Western Europe no longer values FREEDOM. They are the Fascists now. They are not our friends. They are friends with the globalists statists. They do NOTHING for us. If your policies don’t start with “how can we provide more freedom and more individual freedoms” then gtfo.
  10. Putin, Ukraine, France, Britain, Romania - all f***ing suck and are not worth our time. They are banana republics.
  11. EXPLAINED: How The Lawfare Against Marine Le Pen Led to Her Prison Sentence and Politics Ban. A French court convicted Marine Le Pen, leader of the populist National Rally (RN) party, on March 31, 2025, of “embezzling” European Parliament funds—but make no mistake, the move was nothing short of politically orchestrated lawfare. Prosecutors alleged that from 2004 to 2017, during her time as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), Le Pen and 24 co-defendants funneled over €3 million (~$3.2 million) earmarked for assistants to support their Brussels-based parliamentary work into party operations in France. For this, she received a four-year prison term—two years suspended, two under house arrest—a $108,000 fine, and a five-year ban from public office, slamming the door on a projected 2027 presidential election triumph. To be clear, RN doesn’t deny Le Pen’s assistants performed RN work. They argue that, as the leader of a national movement, advancing the RN platform she was elected on was a perfectly legitimate part of their work—particularly when it comes to fighting European Union overreach into national affairs. “Parliamentary assistants do not work for the Parliament. They are political assistants to elected officials, political by definition,” she argued at trial. “Their role is to assist us in our political work, which is inseparable from our mandate as elected representatives.” Such work is commonplace, even standard, among MEPs’ assistants, and the fact that Le Pen is being singled out is a dead giveaway of bias from a judiciary in lockstep with France’s liberal elite and the EU she’s vowed to defy. Even if you accept that Le Pen violated some technical, selectively enforced interpretation of the European Parliament’s rules around assistants, the 56-year-old’s sentence is clearly disproportionate. Contrast the iron fist used against her with Christine Lagarde’s velvet-glove treatment. In 2016, Lagarde, then France’s finance minister—later head of the International Monetary Fund, and now the head of the European Central Bank—was convicted of negligence over a €404 million (~$428 million) payout to businessman Bernard Tapie. The court ruled her guilty but handed down no punishment at all—no fine, no jail, no ban. She sailed into one of Europe’s top jobs without consequence. The EU playbook is clear: when populists like Le Pen and Georgescu surge, the EU doesn’t seek to defeat them at the ballot box; it shuts them out. Americans should be thankful similar partisan efforts to stop Donald Trump from standing last November failed, but they should be wary of the way Europe is normalizing such behavior. https://thenationalpulse.com/2025/03/31/explained-how-the-lawfare-against-marine-le-pen-led-to-her-prison-sentence-and-politics-ban/
  12. With the 3rd pick in the draft, the New York Football Giants select CB/WR/best player in the draft Travis Hunter, Colorado. QB will wait till day 2. And if this were a trade draft, we’d be taking calls - and we would look to trade back and draft Sanders later in round 1. We can’t pass up Hunter here. Stack elite talent - at least if drafting one doesn’t pan out, we need to make the roster as attractive as possible for a vet QB that may be on the move in a trade. We shall see. The Patriots and @section122 are on the clock.
