@schadjoe It is like saying "The Miami Dolphins are my favorite team." That is incorrect. The Miami Dolphins is ONE team. This, "The Miami Dolphins is my favorite team" is correct, even though it sounds wrong.
3 Things on Iran Deal:
1) The ultimate goal is unachievable. Almost none of us wants to do anymore Middle East nation building. So uprooting the demoniacs in Tehran was never happening this round. Not because we couldn't do it, we could've probably done it in 30 days or less, but because (just like in Afghanistan and Iraq) it's what comes next -- filling the power vacuum in a heavily sectarian foreign/Muslim country -- that almost none of us wants to relive. I certainly don't want my enlisted son-in-law risking never seeing his children again for a deployment protecting a sandlot in Iran. Or my son drafted into such a prolonged conflict. Doubt I'm alone.
2) Because of how much the Iranian Regime has been decimated to at least some significant degree, this was already going to be more successful than any previous Iran Deals. Sight details unseen. That's even before we get to Trump's track record on deal-making compared to his predecessors.
3) That all being said, there are risks to this as well. Precisely because they are the demoniacs our talking points claim, you cannot negotiate in good faith with such fiends. Therefore, whatever the actual terms happen to be is not nearly as relevant as our willingness to enforce them. These demoniacs will most assuredly test us in that regard. We've plucked a lot of weeds out of the lawn over there. It's looking much greener than it was before after our military mowed it. But weeds are pesky things, and tend to come back. We're probably going to have to mow the lawn over there again. And maybe again, and again. But I think we all prefer repeating Operation Midnight Hammer to Operation Enduring Persian Freedom.
@PoupartNFL Hey, Alain! Does Ewers have a shot at starting in '26 over Willis if he out performs him? Or does the money preordain that Willis will be the guy this season?
America is unironically the greatest civilization to ever exist.
On every axis.
And it’s worth celebrating with all the zeal and love of this old Coca Cola commercial 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

There is an existential threat out there… one that could hit our biggest industries, weaken our military, and change the balance of power overnight. And almost nobody is talking about it. I’m going to tell you what it is.
Everyone loves a hero.
The Great Depression has one: FDR.
We’re told his New Deal policies saved America.
Economist Don Boudreaux says that’s a myth.
Here’s what actually did:
Japan just had the fewest babies born in any year on record. Not since the war. Not since the 1918 flu. Since records began in 1899.
705,809 births, the tenth annual record low in a row, and they're now down 30% in a decade. More than two deaths for every birth. The population shrank by almost 900,000 people in twelve months.
This is what a demographic spiral looks like in real time. Fewer young people now means fewer parents in twenty years, which means fewer births in thirty. Recovery requires reversing a trend that has been running for half a century.

Great Eared Nightjar
With its dragon-like appearance and huge ear tufts, this bird looks almost mythical.
It relies on incredible camouflage to stay hidden during the day and silently hunts insects under the cover of darkness.
