@Coach_Hickey5 The concern trolling over these young men is wild. The discomfort these white men feel watching these young men they make money off of, also get paid is causing such cognitive dissonance. Somehow them leaving school with six figures of money vs. six figures of debt is a problem.
This is devastating. These sorts of incompetent people in decision making positions all over the government, are the micro fractures, that lead to collapse.
Some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s stewardship include a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical amount of shellfish, including $2 million for Alaskan king crab and $6.9 million worth of lobster tail. (Lobster tail is apparently a favorite of Hegseth’s Pentagon—the department spent more than $7.4 million total on the luxury item in March, May, June, and October.)
In other pricey food purchases, the government decided to drop $15.1 million for ribeye steak (again, just in September), $124,000 for ice cream machines, and $139,224 on 272 orders of doughnuts.
Neguse: Where is this company headquartered?
Noem: I don’t know.
Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out.
You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?
@JohnPiper He just quoted the scripture and folks are losing it. I guess we shouldn’t quote that verse anymore? And his one remark couldn’t mean what you all are ascribing to it, because “we all” haven’t been immigrants. Chill.
@SteedHB The desire to try and deny the things that are right in front of our eyes, by applying hidden or implied reasoning is a very strange way of responding to a real life incident. Free Palestine was scrubbed, this wasn’t. Explain that, no need to imply anything.
@julesaintmiss People talking about Oscar not being prime. True enough. But Floyd's most dominant weight was 130 and he's fighting Oscar at 154. No catch weight. Floyd is only a few years younger than Oscar. Gotta respect it.
I'm sorry but this is a fable pro-system tell themselves to avoid responsibility. In truth, the 21st has been a long string of elite catastrophes: failure to stop 9/11, wars sold on lies, 2007/08 financial meltdown, weak recovery, Covid response. Taken together they have fed anti-system politics of right and left.
Thinking Basketball recently released a video on how much easier it is to be an offensive player today. This segment specifically focused on how modern dribblers can push and clear out defenders with an off-arm or shoulder that would have been called offensive fouls in the past.
Of course, players will look far more skilled when allowed to push defenders away to create space for their shots.
Add in today's players given (effectively) one more step than 25+yrs ago, far more palming of the ball allowed, etc and you end up with offensive players looking more skilled.
