From the reports I have seen the situation has been under some control thanks to the military. They have used razor wire at some illegal crossing points and not letting people through. Strange how well a barrier works after the dems kept saying it they don’t. It just shows how much democrats support an invasion of illegals. Unfortunately thousands and thousands of them are still getting in. We need more military on the border using any means and force neccesary to secure and close the border. I am surprised Biden hasn’t pulled the few that are there if they are doing good. They want all the illegals they can get to cross and are fighting an order they can’t mass release people in the US.

Do you know that more Americans view Biden like the photo I posted than the other? Last I saw over 60% of the people didn’t feel Biden was mentally competent to hold office. Also, you do realize this is a board where people share their opinions and not everyone is going to have the same opinion? That does not make anyone a troll. Perhaps you should add a disclaimer on the Politics board that says “Everyone is welcome as long as you have the same opinion as the few regular posters.” That way everyone can visit their safe place and not have to deal with reality. You can ban me if you don’t like my opinion. I don’t plan to waste much time here. If you look at my post from a couple days ago I explained why.

Detroit usually struggles on their west coast trips. Hopefully they can give a little payback to Seattle this weekend.

This is more like it...

You are right. I do live in a very dark place. It hasn’t been that way for long, only since corrupt dementia Joe Biden took over. What is sad is that the policies and actions of Biden and his party have jeopardized the safety of my family and every American in the US. I stopped by a gun shop today to get ammunition. It was so busy that people had to wait outside. One good thing and probably the only good thing about Biden is he is a great gun salesman.

I can see not much has changed in this forum. There are still a lot of blind followers of a political party feeding off of bad information or misinformation and ignoring reality. There’s nothing you can do for those people because they live in their own fantasyland. There is no point in arguing or debating taking guns away because it will never happen. And yes millions of people own firearms for self protection. They are walking next to you on the street or in a store everyday. I’m sure you all have heard the saying “take a knife to a gun fight” and if that is what you prefer to do then that’s up to you. If you don’t know how to use a firearm or are frightened by one then you shouldn’t have one and that goes for everyone. As for someone taking your gun away and shooting you with it as a reason people should not have a firearm, well that isn’t even a consideration. Yes ,it can happen and has happened, even to police and soldiers in battle but its unlikely. You can ignore the invasion of the southern border but that won’t fix the problem. It’s one of the worst security issues the US has ever faced and it was done intentionally by this administration. I do believe that the majority of these people coming in are not here to be good people. They bring drugs, crime and violent crimes. As long as it doesn’t happen to you then it doesn’t matter. I hate it happening to anyone and we need to border secured and Biden and Mayorcus will forever be known by this failure, like Carter is for Iran. This situation is unexceptable for even a third world country but that’s where we are headed under the current failed administration.

Tigers had so many chances last night and couldn’t make it happen. Time for a little redemption today.

What you are missing is that the vast majority of people carry a firearm to protect themselves and their family and not to be that good guy with a gun. A persons ability to protect themselves and their family is more important than ever with the failure of the Biden administration to protect our borders. Thanks to Biden or whoever is running that disaster in the White House, more and more people will be carrying firearms so you better get used to it when you are in public. Its going to get a lot worse real soon too.

Bringing Short and Ibanez up and leaving Kriedler at Toledo doesn't make sense. They sent Kriedler down because of his stats but he was only playing once in while. It would seem like it would be best to get him regular work to see if he will sink or swim. Having him as a regular for a few weeks isnt going to jeopardize a playoff run for this team.

You guys have short memories. Remember when all we heard about from democrats and some peeps here about how the "Trump" wall was a waste of money, its racist and it doesn't work? I guess not. Years ago Biden, Schumer and a lot of other dems said we need a wall built. When Trump does it they are against it. This is a big part of the problem in politics today and its hurting our country. When one side does something good the other side will condemn it just because the idea came from the other side. Now that Biden is constructing some of the wall its OK. I'm glad they are doing it and should put up as much as possible. There are a lot of security issues on the southern border and it needs to be secured.

Battery life is another big issue. First there is the disposal. What are they going to do with all the bad batteries? Then there is the cost of a new battery and disposal of the old one. I have no idea what a battery replacement costs but I have heard its going to be very expensive. Numbers I've heard -and no idea if they are correct - is $6,000 to $12,000.

The 50k number I used is a little less than my new truck cost. I was lucky to be able to get one. Similar used trucks with up to 100k miles were still in the 40s. Nothing is cheap right now. I don't know how EV will go over. I still think the majority of people will avoid them and auto mfg that are going to mainly all EVs will be in trouble. A lot of things will have to change to make EVs practical and I don't see that happening for a very long time. They are probably good for around town driving but taking a long trip would be a problem.

It looks like the border wall does work after all. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-administration-to-finish-portion-of-trump-s-border-wall-following-pressure-from-democrat/ar-AA104Erf

I agree with you. How or why is this happening? That's why myself and many others say that passing new laws will not do any good until they figure out how to manage and implement what they have. What good is it to have a law or process that nobody adheres to.

Actually that seems pretty low. A $50k car or truck is more of the average if it isn't higher. A $50k loan at 3.5% is over $900 a month for 60 months. As for houses and mortgages its even worse. There's still plenty of $200k to $350k house available (in my area) but a $500k to $600k price range and higher is more common. A 30 year mortgage for $500k @ 6% gives the borrower a payment of almost $3000 a month. I used to complain about a $1000 a month payment.

The Ferrari produces more downforce than the Bulls. I think Charlie will be the guy to beat going into the weekend. It would help his strategy if contacted Bottas to see if he could do his bowling ball impression and take out both Bulls in turn 1 of the first lap.

Tire management is something Lewis has been good at his entire career. Of all the current drivers I think Alonso the best at it. Alonso is getting on in years but he is still a great driver. If he would have managed his career better and been with better teams he would be one of the all time greats. I think he still is but he doesnt have the results he could of had. Charlie shouldn't beat himself up too bad since there's a very fine line between driving on the edge and out of control. As great as Senna was he was in the same position more than once.

I'm glad they brought Clemens back. That will help save Harold's arm so they have enough pitchers to make it to October.

No bail is a democrat policy is NY. It was first signed by Cuomo before he was caught being a sexual predator. It allows many violent offenders to walk free while awaiting trial. This is getting more common among democrat's in office. Gascon is doing the same thing in LA. At least the people in San Francisco seen the light and recalled the liberal DA who was soft on crime. The guy who attacked Zelden after Kathy Hochul who is his political opponent and current NY governor told her supporters to show up Zelden's campaign stops and called him dangerous. Based on what democrats accuse Trump of doing on January 6, Hochul should be guilty too. When will the hearings and impeachment start in NY?

I've said many times on here that democrats and their policies are why people are in danger and feel the need to arm themselves. I don't think it was mentioned on here because the attacker was one of the guys on your team but Lee Zelden was attacked during a campaign stop. The attacker was arrested and taken to jail but a soon released even though he is being charged with a felony. Yes, its a felony to attack a sitting congressman. The attacker is violent and a danger but democrat policies lets him roam free and endanger the public. You can ignore it all you want but the fact remains that democrats and their policies are dangerous to the country and its citizens. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/us-rep-lee-zeldin-attacked-stage-new-york-campaign-event-witnesses-say-rcna39493 https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/22/politics/lee-zeldin-attack-suspect/index.html

They might as well since they are in the back anyway.

De Vries had a nice run in the Merc in first practice. He was a little more than a half second off Russell. Not bad for little to no time in the car and about where Lewis is with George in session 1. The Brits will still bang their drum that Lewis is the GOAT though.

This is impossible because Joe himself said Covid is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Its another rough week for Joe. He said he had cancer a couple days ago because of an oil slick and now covid. Polling numbers are worse than ever but the good thing is he can't remember a thing about any of it.

Nope. The current batch of democrats is the biggest threat there is to our country and democracy.
