@Espngreeny I Never comment but Fortenbaugh "Dallas got pant's" funniest line all week, actually laughed out loud and only Greeny did too on the panel. BTW Dan O. is the best analyst on ESPN. AND Kirk H. said what Everyone is thinking, Notre Dame's schedule is embarrassing (Again this year)!
@JustRockContent Maybe it's my old ears but they, even Dave, sound great! Whichever period one prefers (Dave or Sammy), I've always felt that Eddie's guitar sounds like he's playing p*ssed off when Dave was in the band.....sounds that way here to me, that guitar is just Screamin!!🎸🔊🎶
@jasonwhitlock Get Ryan Clark off TV! He's Wrong Again! He's not an Analyst He's an Activist!!!
He's an embarrassment (if that's even possible) for ESPN! He can sit at his desk write about flag football in his fancy suits!
@Realrclark25 Does ESPN have No Standards for their on air personnel? Get Ryan Clark OFF the TV!! He's absolutely NOT objective, he's proven it multiple times. But this, accusing Law Enforcement On Air BEFORE knowing all the facts is beyond reckless. Get rid of this guy!!
@RepMarkGreen Agree with you completely, but didn't China object to a Taiwan patch on Maverick's jacket that was subsequently removed? I still haven't seen the movie due to that...
@ReyaLovenlight Thank you! That was soooo freakin' hot&erotic! My old GF would get horny and do that, not to me of course😮😜. But now I think about the hotel security watching those hallway cams with their pants around their knees!
Take Them At Their Words
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, at the UN in New York, just bluntly threatened individual American officials with violence: “I say frankly to the American statesmen, who are now managing the genocide in Palestine, that we do not welcome (an) expansion of the war in the region. But if the genocide in Gaza continues, they will not be spared from this fire.” (Emphasis added.)
I don’t think Mr. Amir-Abdollahian would come into our country to issue such a direct threat to American leaders had the Biden administration not assigned Robert Malley to reboot the atrocious but then-inert Iran Deal, had it not lifted oil export sanctions--resulting in a multibillion-dollar windfall to Tehran, had it not tried to ransom American hostages from Iran at $1.2 billion a captive, had it not restored hundreds of millions of dollars in support to the West Bank and Gaza, had it not allowed U.S. aid and remittance dollars to Lebanon to seep into Hezbollah coffers, had it not dropped past American declarations that the Houthis were a terrorist organization, and had it not ignored rather than retaliated for dozens of attacks on US forces in Syria and Iraq by Iranian surrogates.
We should also take at his word one Ghazi Hamad.
He’s a high official in Hamas and one of their PR megaphones. And in an October 24 Lebanese television interview, Hamad boasted: “We must teach Israel a lesson…and we will do this again and again. The Al Aqsa Flood [the October 7 attack] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth…It is Israel, not us. We are the victims of the occupation…On Oct. 7, on Oct. 10, on October one-millionth, everything we do is justified…”
Hamad was quite clear on the motivation for his envisioned million more murder sprees: “The existence of Israel is what causes all that pain, blood and tears.”
So Hamad is promising more beheading, executions, rape, and mutilation. I don’t think Hamad—apparently waging endless jihad against Israeli civilians from a safe distance in Beirut—got the message about the much-heralded American “two-state solution” of mutual co-existence.
In other words, Hamad has no problem adhering to the Hamas-charter agenda of wiping out Israel: “Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country because it constitutes a security, military, and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nations, and must be finished.”
So is this final solution to Israel the “from the river to the sea” envisioned by our campus activists?
Our Turkish NATO ally Recep Tayyip Erdogan, at a huge public rally, praised the Hamas mass murderers as “freedom fighters.” He declared the Israeli response to the Hamas apparat a “massacre,” and threatened to send the Turkish army to Gaza and to hit Israel with a swarm of missiles and bombs--or as he put it, his military can “come at any night unexpectedly.” (He issued the same sort of surprise aerial threat not long ago to NATO member Greece.)
Such is our Turkish NATO ally. It has the largest military of the alliance aside from the U.S., is home to a huge American air base at Incirlik that is reportedly still-equipped with nuclear weapons, has collaterally bombed Kurdish civilians in Syria and Iraq, and for the last half-century has propped up the permanent Turkish occupation of northern Cyprus that drove 150,000-200,000 Greeks from their homes. And, amid his denunciations of Israeli “genocide” and “massacre,” the moralist and former Obama conduit to Middle East, Erdogan sometimes talks about how an earlier Turkish generation dealt with the Armenians–as a matter of pride rather than shame.
Remember that all of these creepy leaders have at one time or another been (or currently are) recipients of U.S. cash, but are comfortably far away. Now they are buoyed by, and voicing sentiments identical to, their thousands of spiritual kindred on our own campuses.
@AMACforAmerica @RepMattGaetz Gaetz, you may have good intentions but you caused a +3 week trainwreck for no good reason and with no plan. Republicans will lose votes on the next election due to this boneheaded stunt. I hope you lose your reelection.
Suddenly after three years, a number of angry former Trump appointees—some on the prompt of potential or real book promotions, or in anger about firings, or their own legal exposure—are replaying all the supposedly atrocious things Trump said in private to them between 2017-21. If, in fact, they are accurate, then by all means they were certainly atrocious things to have said even in private—and should never have been spoken by a president. But what is mysterious about their outrage are three other considerations that we hear nothing about from such now quite public critics:
1) Is there not a difference between atrocious bluster in private and public, methodical weaponization and destruction of our institutions?
Can such critics at least say they deplore the weaponization of the FBI (e.g., the contracting of old Twitter to suppress the news, the admitted lying under oath of its interim director Andrew McCabe, the convenient “amnesia” on 245 occasions of James Comey while under oath, and the bureau’s current fixation with parents at school board meetings, traditional Catholics and pro-life activists)?
Or the corruption of our intelligence officials who were knee-deep in the fraud of “51 former intelligence authorities" who willingly lied, on the prompt of the current secretary of state, about a laptop—deliberately so to influence a presidential debate and election?
Or the entire collusion hoax that was hatched by the Clinton campaign, with help from the FBI, DOJ, and CIA?
Or consider two of our top intelligence officials who lied admittedly under oath, such as Brennan and Clapper? Does not all that pose a danger to democracy?
Or the politicalization of the DOJ that was ready to exempt, save a brave dissenting judge, Hunter Biden and by extension the Biden clan from real legal jeopardy. Was it not wrong in 2020 for retired 4-stars officers to attack in venomous terms and publicly their commander-in-chief? If not so, why then is there a statute at all in the uniform code of military justice prohibiting just that?
2) As far as “dangers to the democracy”, cannot some at least cite the radical changes in voting laws done in key states in 2020 under the guise of Covid, or the infusion of $419 million by Mark Zuckerberg to appropriate the work of registrars and voting officials in key states?
Or the “cabal” and “conspiracy” to ensure the Biden 2020 victory as boasted about in stunning detail by liberal Time writer Molly Ball?
Who tried to cancel student loans without a vote of congress, or drained a great deal of the strategic petroleum reserve solely to boost approval before the midterms?
Or the 2016 leftwing effort to pressure the electors not to vote according to their constitutional responsibilities and instead throw the election to Clinton?
Can't they at least cite the 120-days of looting, riot, arson, attacks on law enforcement, and deaths that were largely exempt from punishment—violence that included an attempt to storm the White House grounds to get at a president, and the torching of a police precinct, federal courthouse, and iconic DC church?
Or cannot they deplore the 2015-17 macabre threats to Trump’s person by celebrities (beheading, shooting, stabbing, incineration, blowing up, etc.)?
What actually had Trump done in his first moments in office when DC rioters went berserk during the inauguration and Madonna screamed about blowing up the White House?
What had he done in his first few days that prompted ex-Pentagon lawyer Rosa Brooks to write in Foreign Policy (“3 Ways to Get Rid of President Trump Before 2020”) an outline of how to destroy his presidency before it started by either the 25th Amendment, impeachment—or a military coup (cf. also the later August 2020 pre-election letter of retired officers Nagl and Yingling, calling on Gen. Milley to intervene following the election with the 82nd Airborne to remove Trump from office).
What had he done in his first few months in office in earn 58 House members voting to impeach him?
3) Who injured the country and the lives of its people more, the 4-years of Donald Trump or the 2.5 years of Joe Biden?
Who engineered the exempt crossing of 8-million illegal entrants that will have repercussions for decades? Who has been largely silent about nearly 100,000 annual fentanyl deaths and the direct role of an open border in them?
Who engineered the disastrous and deadly flight from Kabul, timed for the narcissistic public stunt of a cheap 20th-anniversary triumph celebration of 9/11—according to The Washington Post?
Who called the accidental killing of 10 civilians during the Kabul mess a “righteous strike”, or phoned his PLA counterpart to warn about his own commander in chief, or unlawfully hijacked the chain of command?
Who spiked fuel prices, interest rates, and inflation that have caused untold misery to millions of Americans?
Who is silent about the destruction of the criminal code in our major cities that has helped unleash an unprecedented crime wave?
That list of current catastrophes that go unnoticed could be expanded.
So yes, if these recent accusations about crude and cruel Trump private conversations are true, then let us all deplore what Donald Trump said in private to his closest aides and appointees.
But let us also consider that those who voice these expressions of outrage seem to stay silent about the concrete damage to our institutions and country that was neither rhetorical nor spontaneous—but all too real and planned.
