racial injustice from colonial enslavement and early statehood through Reconstruction

How does any of this correlate to Illinois?
In colonial times this was the northwest territory and nothing but a few frontier forts and trappers. How many slaveholders lived in Illinois and how many enslaved people ever lived within the borders of the state? I would venture less than 1,000. And besides sending assholes to Washington that wanted vengeance upon the southern states or troops that enforced it, Illinois had jack squat involvement in Reconstruction.

Does Profar's suspension keep him out of the WBC or can he still play? If he's able to play and still feeling a bit of the juice that Dutch team might make it to knockouts.
I know he said when ST opened that he wasn't thrilled with potentially being a DH, but this is a bit extreme to avoid it.

If Israel can’t defend itself and accomplish it’s goals without the help of the U.S.

They can, but that defense would center around the use of nuclear weapons, first against Iran and then likely other countries who would declare war on Israel for putting nukes on target in Iran.

At a minimum you would end up with a total disruption of the world's petroleum supply with the middle eastern fields, refineries, and ports either shut down or destroyed.

You would also put thousands of US troops at risk of retaliatory strikes at our bases in that part of the world and also the loss of the use of those bases afterwards.
SOCOM assets are probably already there or will be soon.

Anything more than that will depend on how long it takes to eradicate the missile threat to the surrounding countries, permanently destroy the radical cleric leadership network, and neuter or flip the military and IRGC.

I think once that happens, and a friendly resistance is identified, the next steps will be to provide weapons for the Iranians to take measures into their own hands and form a popular uprising to complete the regime change. I see boots on the ground to protect the weapon supply drops and make sure they get into the correct hands.
My totally uneducated guess is that you'll be fine.

So far the biggest incident in Cyprus has been a drone strike at the RAF Akrotiri base, southwest of Limassol. I really don't see it getting hit again because that might actually bring the Brits into the conflict from an offensive standpoint.

If you aren't scared of heights they have tours that allow you to climb Sydney Harbour Bridge

Didn't he retire like 8 yrs ago?

He did, or at least was going into semi-retirement. Then his wife died in a car accident and while he never went back full time he didn't step away as much as he had planned on.

So all the players begin the season with 0 stickers on their helmet for game 1?

Yep. Didn't realize it but was listening to the start of OSU/Texas on SXM this past season and the announcer made a comment that the sticker start fresh each season and every helmet was clean as the game started.

For our Bulldog folk here, when did UGA quit doing the bone stickers? At one time there were white bones for on the field accomplishments and black bones for academic accomplishments.

Cher had two kids.

One just got arrested prowling around a prep school, the other decided she was a man and chopped her tits off.
Last night there was a strike package of B-1 bombers, hardly the stealthiest bomber in the arsenal. I take that to mean that the concerns about SAMs are rapidly going away. Another couple of days and the air situation may reach a point that, outside of the most hardened targets, JDAMs can do the job and the need for cruise missiles will drop drastically.

As mentioned, the Patriot/THAAD shortage isn't a new item. Hopefully the continued destruction of the missile launchers will reduce the need for the anti missile ordinance.
That's one way to get the team do get their running in and not have them complain.

Seriously that's really cool.
Cool story, and potentially true. We know about the beeper bombs. Yesterday they said Mossad had tapped the Iranian military landlines, hospital CCTV systems, and the prayer app.

However, everything I have seen said that the CIA/US intel tracked Khamenei and Mossad tracked the others.

Four (4) ballistic missiles have struck the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72 as reported by Aljazeera at 14:50 GMT, US denies at 15:05 GMT

Ballistic missiles aren't very good at hitting moving targets. Given that a carrier has to be underway and turned into the wind during flight operations, the chances of one, much less four, ballistic missiles hitting it are slim to none.
I'm wondering if the 5th Fleet HQ building in Bahrain hasn't been evacuated completely as was first said.

I doubt that Iran could hit any of our ships, and it was reported yesterday that none of our planes had been brought down.

They blew up the Chicken Man in Philly last night...

I was reading at different points today that Mossad had tapped into the Iranian military landlines, had access to hospital CCTV footage, and had hacked a prayer reminder app and was sending messages to the military and civilian population with it.
I'm waiting for a federal judge to say the administration has to bring him back to life and rebuild his compound.
They misunderstood the translation of the Quran. They are actually promised 72 Virginians. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Lee, Jackson, and a bunch of their buddies are getting their arse kicking boots ready.
