“Until Elon Musk and Donald Trump came on the scene, America never turned its back on our veterans and their families.

I can’t believe you said this.

I know but but Biden.  SMH.

Yep, tears them up every time. I didn’t even research this young man. The left lives for drama even if they have to create it. My statement still stands.

A spokesperson for the Trump administration also told ProPublica that the "notion that this single office is responsible for preventing terrorism is not only incorrect, it's ignorant.”

Yep. The ignorant thinking part sounds about right…

 

Personally, I think an A/B high school grad could definitely do a better job than Mayorkas or Kamala (border czar). They both set the bar very low.

Astros last 11 series….9 wins, 2 ties. Man, just think about when we get our pitchers back lol

What a great shutout!!  Astros take the series from a great Chicago club.

Hey now I still have a good record there this year! 😂 

but agreed about McCullers… I rather wait and see how responds after that poor outing. 
 

Cubs fans travel extremely well.. haven’t been to a Astros vs Cubs game since NL days so kind of forgot about it. Was shocked by it, after the back to back home run the icebox went from home stadium to visiting stadium quickly… 

Seems most games I attended when in the N.L. were against the Braves. I thought there were more Braves fans than Astors. My work use to give us tickets, so there was no preference. I did get to see Maddux pitch…..phenomenal.

Back to the Stros….what a difference a pitcher can make….😃

Google his name.  He is the best that was available.  I assume he completed basic training, served  his country or has a strong back ground in this line of work.  
 

Your thread.

McCullers would have a 3-0 count and throw a slider for ball 4. That pissed me off.

 22 year old Thomas Fugate, the “lawn boy and Model U.N. kid” overseeing terrorism prevention at DHS.  The president selected a kid of overseeing the government’s main hub for terrorism prevention.

His work experience includes lawn care, working part time as a clerk at HEB and internship at the Heritage Foundation.  I feel safe already.   Only hires the best of the best. 

Link please on the kid. First I’ve heard.

I fear none of those. Why are you panicking? Those terror organizations have been around. 
 

Maybe if the kid had bartender on his resume, he’d be qualified.

What terrorists?

McCullers should have stayed out today. smh

3 1/3, 8 runs, 7 hits, 4 BB and a HBP. Also gave up a total of 17 bases in that 1/3 of the 4th inning. 

He wasn’t on at all. Threw like 13 straight balls while walking in a run. Should have pulled him after the back-to-back. 

Peńa out today with sore ribs from HBP.

This is why Biden appointed so many judges just before he left office….or was HE responsible? Autopen???? Appointments have to have paperwork somewhere.

Are they going to use/retool the existing facilities in Kentucky when they were still American owned? (Before the Chinese bought them in 2016).

I assume everyone knew China bought GE Appliance Division in 2016.

GE is multi-faceted. They are into oil and gas too. I did not know China bought the appliance division. I have a GE mini fridge that is 30 years old and still running strong. Keeps my drinks nice and cold.

Pitching on both sides was great and our bullpen has done a big turn around and really done good.  Phillies pitching was really good.  Because of that we couldn't support our starters with runs.  Keep it up.

Mariners lose 10-1 playing Twins so we 6 1/2 up

Always the best games when one swing of the bat can be the difference between winning and losing…..every inning.

🧹  Phillies finally score 1 run in 3 games. Cam Smith with the game winning hit. Brown with 9 Ks.

Astros win 2-1.

Concerning this commie mayor wannabe:  

 

I don’t believe that any naturalized citizen should hold “ANY” public office…..anywhere.

But, but Biden. You’re always going to get that. Deal with it. Grow up and realize that whatever mess we are in didn’t start in January. Democrats….always drawing lines.

Astros going for the sweep of the Phillies right now with Brown on the mound. Starts off the game with a K.

Why is this important?  NY City just nominated a muslim communist as their Democratic nominee.  Heck, though, this ought to make some on this site giddy as heck!  LOL!!  Anyway, the take over in Europe is almost complete.  Again, these people DO NOT come to assimilate -- they come to take over!  But, back to NY City, one positive is that only 22% of registered voters voted.  So, by November, they need to get that up for ANY opposing candidate!

You know he has AOC backing. Communists already rule NY. It’s the muslim part they need to worry about. Democrats don’t care as long as they are getting a paycheck. 

Medicaid funding planned parenthood? Supreme Court says NO!

If you didn't watch the news briefing this morning, a lot of information was shared.  Here are the cliff notes.....

1.  The leak about the bombing being unsuccessful was a low confidence report and was wrong.

2.  A team of researchers have been studying and watching via satellite the construction of the Fordow since 2009, along with intelligence on the ground. They determined that they did not have a weapon that could penetrate it.

3. A team of scientist (PHD's) designed the Bunker buster bombs. At one time it was stated that team was using the majority of the "super computers" making the bomb.  They were sent in a particular order all timed differently and each bomb had a specific job to do.

4. The mission was a huge success and Iran's nuclear program is toast.........

I’m no expert, but we could have used the MOAB (daisy cutter) to hit the entrances and still do massive damage….like the caves where we thought Bin Laden may have been hiding. This would have set them back for years, but we used higher tech bombs that could burrow deep and then exploding. People who deny that these bombs were effective are simply wanting it to be so.

That is a tough one for me.  This is a tragedy on both sides.  Two kids lost their life,. One parent has to deal with never being able to see their son again. The other has to deal with seeing their Son probably spend the rest of his life in jail, or a significant portion of it in jail. Then also deal with the self guilt (admitted or not) that they raised a murderer. 

I can't begin to imagine the pain in either case. 

You’re so right. One family is dealing with a dead son. I know that feeling all too well. The loss of a child has to be the most challenging thing to bear. It will never go away, but time helps heal. The other family is having to deal with their son murdering a young man. I understand wanting to defend his actions, but to blame the dead victim is beyond my comprehension.  We all have to be held accountable for our own actions. If not, justice can never be served and none of us are safe.
