Nächster Oranje-Wahnsinn!: Niederlande-Fans nehmen

How did the USMNT do in Copa America, on home soil? 😗 -
And the DNC effort to get Dr.Oz the nomination, instead of someone sane and reasonable, with a less creepy smile, was intense. If he was prepared to donate to ActBlue, one of the largest funding sources for DNC candidates, I am willing to wager that he would have no compunction registering R to mess with the GOP primary.

So, Sean O’Brien, president of the Teamsters Union, was a platform speaker at the Republican National Convention. Could the DNC be losing a part of the union vote? Could the unions of the working class people, the manufacturing and transportation industries, be realising that the Democrat Party does not have their best interests at heart?

For a start, I believe the Posse Comitatus Act provides that action by any regular military forces on US soil is strictly forbidden without the express approval of Congress, so that order would constitute a knowing breach of Presidential authority and therefore be an illegal order. And inciting a private citizen to carry out an assassination attempt by political rhetoric doesn’t pass the “official” act test, so a fail on that one, too. In addition, the fake outrage over the presidential immunity ruling is simply more far-left mis- and disinformation, designed to scare the voting public into believing that it gives the President carte blanche to do whatever they want without fear of recourse, when all it does is codify what was inherently understood for the past 250 years, before Biden’s DOJ tried turning the country into a banana republic with their lawfare against a political rival. It’s just nonsense.

And Luke Shaw in for Kieran Trippier is the one change on the team sheet! -

Swap Trippier for Shaw. Keep the rest. if it’s going pear-shaped, substitute earlier. -

We need to go back to the separation of news and opinion. We need to go back to the reporting of what has happened and what is happening and away from the what “might happen if” ramblings. We need to go back to getting the reporting done right, with facts and testimony to support it, rather than getting the reporting done first and let the facts wander along later. We need to stop thinking that late night comedians are reliable news sources. Most of all, as all of the above is as likely to happen as a Hillary Clinton presidency, we need to stop listening to one side of the story.

Although the tackle didn’t affect the shot that Kane got away, it was high, studs-up and made contact, so I think the decision was the correct one. Regardless of the penalty, Simons’ first goal was fantastic, and Watkins’ last minute winner was almost as good. Sunday will be a fascinating contest. Spain will be the overwhelming favourites. But anyone who saw their match against France will know they faded badly in the second half, so this could be a lot tighter than people think, especially with England’s habit of leaving it as late as humanly possible to score. Should be fun. -
The closer we get to Kamala Harris getting the keys to the White House, the more I wish DJT would bring Tulsi Gabbard onto his team to remind people exactly why she got less than 1% support in the 2020 Democrat Primary race before she withdrew. it was evident from the start that she was the DNC’s preferred pick for 2020 and they have done everything they can to get their DEI-friendly pick into the Oval Office any which way they can. She would make a senile, frail and failing Joe Biden look competent. The USA would not survive a President Harris.

And yet there is no outrage from the gun legislation lobby. It’s just business as usual, nothing to see here. It’s not the existing gun legislation failing to protect the citizenry. It’s just another holiday weekend in Chicago. The silence is deafening. Because they (the Democrat mayor, council and the gun legislation lobby) know that they do not want to address the root causes of the ongoing violence. To do so would cost them politically, in resistance from the populace to change, in the resistance to the populace to reducing/removing the social and welfare programs that have rendered employment income unnecessary and in the acknowledgement that additional firearm legislation is merely a dog-whistle for getting votes and would have no measurable impact on the death toll. In short, they would lose control. They would lose power. And that, to them, is unconscionable.
