@FamouslyGarnet @GamecockFB There was nothing Spurrier enjoyed more than beating Georgia. And I enjoyed it with him.

@japan_nobunaga The states are self-governing, soveriegn entities, they are not subdivisions of the Federal government. Each has its own particular history, customs, and laws.

@MichelleDLesley I laughed out loud!

@BCrawford247 I think I saw that work once, but it was farther away than the 4. 😉

@Super70sSports Ah! When football was still football.

Get G.K.Beale's commentary on Revelation. It comes in both a 2 volume academic version and a large single version for general consumption. The academic version is quite dense (and expensive) in the sense that there is significant discussion of language and matters of academic debate. He makes a very clear case in both versions that John's Apocalypse continues the OT prophetic style and fleshes out its content and therefore must be understood within that context. It's a Reformed commentary and the scholarship is amazing.

@WilGunter Depends on who makes up the front line.

@MichelleDLesley I would say that 90% of the social issues we are dealing with today are the result of 3 generations of bad parenting.

The highest recorded temperature in Birmingham, England was 98.6 degrees F on July 19, 2022. The average June high temperature over the last 50 years has been 64-67 degrees F, 68-71 degrees F in July and 67-70 degrees in August. So, you can throw your "it's 95 degrees in Birmingham all the time" right out.
In South Carolina, we had 31 days in 2025 that exceeded your all-time high. There were 10 days that reached or exceeded 100 degrees F which was well below the record of 37 days in 1993.
It's currently 10 pm and the outside temperature is 81 degrees F or 27. 2 degrees C. The high in Birmingham today at midday barely exceeded that. Your Met office has issued an "Extreme high temperature" warning for tomorrow for a high temperature that is barely above a reading we see 3 hours after sunset. Come spend a summer here and you'll understand why there's AC everywhere.

Further devaluation of the dollar by expanding the money supply only hurts everyone. It's a typical scam. Make it look like you're helping people while you actually make the situation worse while also increasing dependence on government hand-outs. It's a vicious circle. The only people who benefit are politicians.

@RoKhanna The only way government gets money is through fees and taxes. This means the wealth that creates that money must be generated from outside of government. Those who wish to destroy wealth are killing the golden goose.

@RealAirPower1 @ustonymc Enterprise and Hornet landed a few punches in that fight as well. Yorktown, while a brave ship with a mighty crew, did not single-handedly turn the tide of the Pacific War.
