From the article:
The incoming president of Panama has vowed to make big changes to help alleviate the U.S. border crisis.
President-elect Jose Raul Mulino vowed to shut down a crucial migration gap through Panama that has been used by more than 500,000 migrants over the last year, signaling a shift in the country's policy as the U.S. continues to battle a crisis at its southern border, according to a report from Voice of America.
democrats are probably calling this election interference.
Maybe, but they will definitely spin this as an election year win at the border for the Biden administration when he has literally done nothing to help matters at the border.

Why should they support the State of Isreal?
Aside from the religious implications, (since not everyone is a Jew or a Christian), there are many reasons for the United States to support Israel. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. It has been a partner to U.S. security and intelligence efforts for decades. Almost as many Jews live in the U.S. as in Israel, so personal connections are plentiful. It may very well be the most important ally the U.S. has.

FYI there are more white people on welfare than any other race. Maybe that will change your mind about helping the poor.
FYI:
Whites are 59% of the population, but use 43% of welfare programs .7288
Hispanics are 19% of the population, but use 26% of welfare programs 1.3684
Blacks are 13% of the population, but use 23% of welfare programs 1.7692
Your claim is grossly misleading. The black population uses welfare almost 2.5 times more than the white population and 1.29 times more than Hispanics.
I think if someone truly needs a governmental assistance program that is unable to work, then they should have access to it. I think children should be fed. That's not what is happening though...

Is this true percentage-wise (per capita)? Or just raw numbers?

I think this is a recording being made during the Mar-A-Lago raid showing proof of the coordination.
Tell me which part refers to the raid on Mar-a-lago specifically.

Not yet, anyway.
If you can't see that there has been a strong effort to create gender dysphoria amongst young folks AND try to keep it from parents in many instances, you're not paying attention.
You may not care about this, but it's ridiculous to ridicule those that do.
There is an agenda behind this, no doubt about it, like bullets pointed out earlier, it's just a name change...for now.
And it was only very recently that girls were allowed to join the "boy scouts", they have been allowed to join certain other groups that weren't available to girls at the time.
It's the frog in the slow boil.
Yep.
But as a whole, I've been pretty disenchanted with the Boy Scouts organization for a long time.

In the 1975 song "Welcome to The Machine" by Pink Floyd, Roger Waters refers to the Boy Scouts as "scouting for boys". Prophetic? LOL.
He’s actually referring to an actual book entitled “Scouting for Boys” written in 1908 by a British Army officer thought to have begun the scouting movement. Waters was probably using this line to show that the kid had a normal life before becoming a musician and a part of the machine (the music industry). An excellent song. One of many by Pink Floyd.

There is undeniable irony and hypocrisy in the fact that Trump has the unwavering support of conservative republicans across the country who've pushed legislation that makes it much more difficult to access her on pornhub.

No doubt they spend a lot of time training and competing but cheerleading would not exist without football. Even the schools that don’t have football and still have cheerleading are supported institutionally by the schools that do have football. Cheerleading is part of the “football game day experience”
No real argument there including band, drill team, twirlers, flag corps, etc. - except - at least for cheerleading (I can't speak on the others), all the uniforms, matching work out clothes for camp (5 outfits), many travel expenses, and other things are not paid for by the district. It's the parents who foot the bill.

You are 100% correct, but I think wanting to be a cheerleader or drill team member is more about being on the sidelines on Friday nights than to compete in competitions.... I may wrong... IDK. Never was a cheerleader or drill team member lol.
Well, I got a whole house full of 1 football player that played in college, 2 cheerleaders one of whom cheered in college. Football games are super important for the cheerleaders, but I would say 80% of their efforts (and my money) went to competitions.

What a great day for America. The presumptive nominee for the Republican Party (you know, the party of conservative Christian Values) is being testified about.
1. You know… getting spanked by a porn star, being a two-pump chump, (all while cheating on his then-wife and future First Lady… who coincidentally is a nude model, herself)… and the world laughs.
2. Once again, I can’t tell which party is more ignorant… the ones who blindly follow a godless old fool or the Biden Supporters.
1. Kinda brings us back to the good ole days of Bill Clinton... Lol!
2. They're both extremely ignorant, so you have a lesser of two evils situation. Pick the ones that won't tip so far left that we have to let dogs and cats vote. Pick the ones who don't have a She/He/It in a cabinet spot with no credentials to just check a box. And let's try and drag this country out of the ditch while we're at it, so our kids can afford to raise a family. Finally, let's start drilling for every oil resource available. I know you don't like the guy, but do what you KNOW gives us a better shot at those issues listed above (among many others). Don't even have to tell anyone you did it. Vote for Trump and move on. It'll be fun...

And also basketball and track. Basketball had losing records 6 out of the last 10 years. Everything is normal there. Volleyball has had horrible years before and so has softball. Probably should make the title: “what happened to Jasper baseball and girls basketball”
Here's the real thread title: "So this is one more crappy topic to throw around until football returns - PLEASE HURRY!"

As long as little Timmy or whoever gets to run into that field on Friday nights, the 25% isn't going anywhere. If football folded... no more cheerleaders, drill teams, band would surlily dwindle. I say that cause outside of football the cheerleaders may cheer at a few basketball games, same goes for the drill team, bands I believe do a little more like competitions.
Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but drill team and cheerleaders have competitions too - many of them - and camp.

I can name several 2 sport stars just this past season. All with scholarship offers in both sports.
Now one may be a bigger star in one sport over the other but they still remain stars in both sports.
2 sports stars still exist.
Agreed. 100%

What makes this silly. I have a cousin that is a retired D1 head coach that played professionally and coached in the NFL Europe league that will tell you same.
It's pretty self-evident that an injury can hurt a player's recruiting stock.

That’s right. A dozen kids get gunned down in Chicago every weekend and they don’t even blink. A Republican puts down a dangerous dog that’s attacking livestock and they FLIP OUT. CNN is having a stroke right now.
All I heard is the dog killed chickens. How was it also dangerous? I missed that part.

Protections now include sexual orientation. You can't discriminate based on race, religion, disability, nationality and sexual orientation. Who would want the legal right to discriminate against gay people? Evil people.
Who would want the legal right for a woman to have to dress out and compete against a biological male with a penis and testicles? It has nothing to do with discriminating against gays. It has everything to do with fairness and respect and safety towards girls/women. It's the "transgender" part that's an issue. Isn't it discrimination against girls who aren't allowed to compete solely against other girls? They're being forced to not only compete in a co-ed league, but to get naked in front of biological males without any choice in the matter. Normalcy is being discriminated against.

If it was actually a chicken killer, i have zero problem with putting down. if she's lying to make what she did more acceptable, that's a different issue. If it actually was a chicken killer, then she's a moron for putting it in her book. If it wasn't, she's a bad person for shooting the dog. She could've easily given away the dog, but based on her writings she REAALLLLY didn't like the dog. That said, I kinda doubt that 20 years ago she was thinking about her actions preventing her from receiving the VP nom.
Like I said, I don't really care, but I'm still trying to figure out why someone wouldn't just give the freaking dog away... If it's dangerous, bit a kid, has injuries and needs to be put down, terminally ill, etc, shoot it (or put it to sleep if you want). If it likes the taste of chicken - give it away. WHY NOT???
