That's the reason all of the P4 coaches want the 9 game Redshirt. An FCS player catches your eye in a game or on film, watch him for 6-8 games, then convince him to early enter into the transfer portal and sit himself the rest of the season. Now instead of getting a 1-2 yr loaner from an FCS school you have a 2-3 year player.

end sanctuary City status

The last numbers I can find is 2023 where sanctuary cities collectively received over $1.5 Billion in Federal funding due to that status, not including additional monies through various other programs. No city is going to stop being a sanctuary city until that funding dries up, and courts have already sided with the cities that the 10th amendment prevents the Fed from restricting or ending those programs due to non-compliance with federal immigration policies and orders.

We must protect the sexual predators, those committing fraud, and those running from their extradition orders because we use their numbers during the census to keep our population up for monetary and political gain. I will continue to only see them as being brown and say nothing further as to why DHS has a list they are going after because my party only see color and sex, not the individual. Recent videos cast us as the aggressor and I need to write this appeal to make myself look sincere before public opinion can be swayed to the other side and before the Fed has a clear reason for coming in and establishing order. Word vomit that says nothing.

My argument isn't that certain elements you presented weren't true. My argument is that my BS meter starts going off on a story when truth is bent from the get go on articles that would appear to have no bearing on the incident in question. Her occupation other than as a school employee has no bearing on the situation, so why is it given falsely by all (or at least the majority of the articles). The location of the school being in a shared parking lot with several foreign owned businesses would give credence as to why DHS may be present. Why do the articles and witness testimony make it sound like it's not, or present it as being a standalone parking lot just for the school? That is intentional to make the story even more sensational, because rightfully so a SPED school parking is somewhere DHS shouldn't be ethically, but that's not the whole story, and it's given in part with very clear intent.

I cannot accept the parts that may be true on face value when several components are being intentionally skewed. If you lie about the occupation, have an entire section on why DHS shouldn't be there leaving out crucial details as to why they very well could be in the area...either the reporting is half assed, or sensationalized. Either way it doesn't pass the smell test. Dig deeper into more of these stories and this isn't the only one. People are being radicalized on both sides with half truths and maybes.

Allegedly. Unless you have seen photos which her and her mother, and the bystanders claiming her innocence have yet to do.

Not defending the DHS/ICE agents, but that's three items you prefaced as fact that are either false or at the very least being framed as fact without evidence due to prejudice.

ETA: Hard to take accounts and articles as whole truth when initials 'facts' are quite easily found to be false or at the very least intentionally framed in a way to be misleading.

AI makes my meal plan and helps me with my monthly running routines. :dunno: Meal plan based on budget, calorie & protein goals, and even makes me a shopping list and will run the numbers at each of the stores local to me based off the price to see which is the cheapest. I won't use it for anything business related or for anything creative, but my meal plan, shopping list, and run planning it has been awesome.

Moving him to a spot where he can be detained and receive medical care. Between the mob and DHS agents is not where you want to treat someone for their safety and the safety of the medics.

Cool, remove title IX and make one team for all sports. If a woman is good enough to make the basketball, track, golf, tennis, etc. then more power to them. Make set sex sports club programs.

Seems like it's always someone from Iberia, Vermillion, or St Martinville anytime YPD posts an arrest. Acadia is one you don't see too often. Can definitely tell they weren't from the area, that Circle K isn't near busy enough to have significant cash on hand, and it's only like 1 mile to city hall and a straight shot. I guess they thought it would have cash because it's close to Sabal Palms, but the people that live there don't go to a Circle K, nor do they pay cash.

checks and balances have their place in our government

Right...executive and legislative do things that they believe have precedent due to legal standing and interpretation of the constitution, the judicial then rules. Often lower courts where a favorable outcome by the plaintiff is utilized and if the opinion has high enough favorability amongst a portion of the public you will see a push by tMSM that "Court rules XYZ is unconstitutional". That decision is then moved up to higher courts until eventually tSCOTUS rules. If that ruling is different than the ruling of the lower court tMSM will either prop it up as rogue justices or ignore it completely. If tSCOTUS agrees with the lower court on certain elements tMSM will go all out on how unconstitutional the executive or legislative is being without much if any nuance to explain the ruling. We live in a world that lives in 140 words and 15-30 sec clips, so the side that thinks there are no checks and balances gets up in arms and uses the news cycle to fortify their opinion as opposed to having a nuanced approach and looking at the information objectively. This cycle continues for years and we have an entire side that thinks they are living through an authoritarian era and anyone who opposes them is a literal Nazi.

TLDR because not able to absorb more than 140 characters...the checks and balances are still very much in tact.

I think if Ole Miss can have success on first down and utilize their hurry up, they will wear down the freaks on Miami DL

Part of Miami's strength on the DL is their depth and how they can utilize that depth. If Ole Miss goes hurry up, then they cannot sub. A methodical drive keeping the same guys on the field against Miami can work. If you are going hurry up and subbing though Miami has a ton of depth and the pieces can be moved all along the line depending on the situation. Miamis ESV scheme and lagnose is very, very difficult and efficient if the DC can identify his talent and put them in position. OSU did move the ball later in the game, but that was because of elite players making elite plays. Ole Miss has the players to do the same, but if Miami's offense is being efficient. Not great, just efficient. Then Ole Miss will have to have their playmakers making elite plays. That Miami defense is playing at that level currently.

re: Has social media made women crazier than they already are?

Posted by AwesomeSauce on 1/8/26 at 8:44 am to 4x4tiger

I think the progressives have done a good job appealing to the nurturing side of women, as well as supporting the 'men are inherently bad' sentiment. Let's be honest there are some absolutely shitty men in the country, and most women have encountered one that has had a negative impact on their lives or on someone they love's life.

Widowed woman killed leaving behind 3 children during ICE protest. The headline has already stirred the intended emotions in the target audience.

Trump administration continues to separate children from their families as they seek asylum from drug lords and violence. The real story is this is done to catch child traffickers and as such during the Obama administration his border strength was how many children he saved from that. The headline drives, and brings out the intended response.

It's not all women, but I think the reason women are the predominant voice and audience of the progressive front is that they have found a way to embrace and enrage that base with intentionally worded and postured headlines and messages that allow them to play smoke and mirrors with the facts. I also believe that the social media, instant satisfaction culture leads to a lot of people not looking beyond the instant message and researching before directing their emotions. If you do that enough the reaction is instant, doesn't require facts, and only grows the disdain for the opposing side with every headline.

I don't blame women. Their nurturing is God given and is truly special. A lot of their disdain for men is well earned, and honestly we speak of other cultures, but men have had a culture problem for a long time that we blame on bad apples, but that doesn't keep those poisoned or hurt by such to see the tree that bore the fruit as anything other than one that produces bad fruit. I blame those who have taken advantage of these emotions. The ones who manipulate for power, for glory, for control. If anything I pity those that have been weaponized by the powerful on both sides with half truths and whole lies. We are no different than any culture in history. Social media just may have sped up our breaking point.
