I was surprised you posted it. I know you usually check stuff out.

I always get my best information from lesbian, washed up, ex-reality stars whose only claim to fame is trying to get obese people with no willpower to lose a few pounds. Hormuz has been formally recognized as an international free navigational waterway since the UN Agreement in 1982.

Last year, La Porte lost their DC to Shadow Creek. Now, LP’s All District Edge/OLB Caden Watson transferred to Shadow Creek. Was curious why he wasn’t in DCTF mag. Now, I know why.

About time. I talked about this route weeks ago. Good job.

Crossword puzzles and Sudoku. 😁

Israel is technologically advanced compared to Iran. But, numbers & sheer geographical area make a full-blown invasion of Iran by Israel a losing proposition--and the Israeli's know it. In addition, the Abraham Accords would be shredded, and the region would be thrown into chaos because the Arab/Muslim States would never accept an invasion strictly by Israel. They tolerate it when the U.S. does it because of common interests and needs. But, that doesn't mean they like it any better. For perspective, at the height of the operations in Iraq in 2007, the U.S. had about 170,000 military personnel deployed in country. That's the size of Israel's entire active manpower, and only leaves call up reserves for home defense against Hezbollah and Hamas--who would both take the opportunity to hammer Israel for all they're worth. Iran is over 250% bigger in geographical land mass than Iraq. No. U.S. boots on the ground will be required if boots are utilized. And you can kiss off the Gulf States helping. They won't lift a finger other than in defense, and allowing the U.S. to stage. NATO? Europeans? Ha! Riiiigggghhhttt...

No problem. I’ll add you to the ‘Don’t have a clue/political hack list.’ Oh snap! You were already there.

I'd stick with predicting elections, or something different. You've been wrong on this one from the very beginning.

Iran has over 600,000 active soldiers--not counting Hezbollah, or Hamas. Israel has around 170,000--of which all can't mobilize without leaving the home state of Israel open to attack. Come again?

Give those columns some more of the little blue pill to stiffen ‘em up.

Wow! Chinese steel?

I won’t lie. I shop for certain items at Walmart. Not groceries. Typically, things like birdseed, fake Advil, shampoo, soap, fake Lysol, and stuff like that. Sometimes, I purchase car stuff. I double-check AutoZone to make sure my veteran’s discount won’t beat Walmart’s price. Basically, I buy stuff that is disposable, or I don’t expect to last long anyway. Some people live in an area where Walmart is their only grocery store around.

I think it’s a little of both. The ‘big boys’ may have originally eaten some of the tariffs. Then, they finally had to raise prices. So, we paid at least some of the tariffs via higher prices. I remember Walmart finally having to raise their prices on a lot of their goods since they get a bunch from China, and other foreign countries. As an aside, I spent a great deal of my youth in Bentonville, AR because my mom grew up there, and half my family still lives in the area. Sam Walton never stocked a foreign product in his original store. Everything was American made or grown. He’s probably turning over in his grave nowadays.

Sounds good to me as well. Of course, the companies that are lowering prices back down to ‘near pre-tariff levels’ are using their big, fat tariff rebate checks they received—that we payed for—to lower their currently raised prices on a small number of select items. Good marketing for them though. Just something to remember.
