Oh man, you all are getting expert level analysis on foreign policy from a basketball forum. If only I was this good at analyzing the Heat.

Probably Syria and Lebanon, but maybe Saudi Arabia too.

FYI. I can't stand both Trump and Biden with most Democrats and Republicans to boot. They are all crooks looking to get their sheep enraged to do their dirty work for them! There are a few good ones in both parties who actually do their job sometimes.



Politicians work for the big money in the end. They wouldn't spend billions lobbying if that's not the case. And this derangement syndrome is just a play word they use to deflect. Most people ik and I work with are intelligent n know whoever is in charge, it doesn't really matter. You are best to just adapt n take advantage of the charging laws n taxes. The wind blows one direction one day and the other the next day


I agree 100%. Some people just need to assimilate and live life. I just cannot stand extremists and will call them out.

I am saying the study your linked tweet is talking about is disinformation and does nothing to benefit anyone. If you disagree with the fact check I linked, lmk. But like I said, I tried to find as non-biased of a source as I could.


Fair enough I’m not one to say every source is real or legitimate.

However these are the numbers on Red Cross which is rather reliable source:

•After weeks without any aid able to enter, Gaza faces a critical risk of famine.
•470,000 people in Gaza face starvation – that's 22% of the population.
•More than 52,000 people have died and at least 118,000 have been injured in Gaza.
•The healthcare system is on the edge of collapse.
90% of the population has been forced to flee their homes.
•Families of those held hostage in Gaza remain caught between hope and despair as they desperately await news of their loved ones.

https://www.redcross.org.uk/stories/disasters-and-emergencies/world/whats-happening-in-gaza-humanitarian-crisis-grows



All the better reason for them to deny allowing Hamas run their country.

In 2022, 1175 rockets were fired from Hamas militants at Israel from Palestine.
12,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel between October 7th and late December 2023.

Basically, Gaza fires missiles indiscriminately at anything moving. Much different than at least trying to miss civilians with Hamas using them as human shields.

This is from one of the guys leading the GHF to help
feed Gazans. Our international aid system is broken. I am sure it’s not just Gaza and Bosnia where people profit and that there are plenty of stories like this all over the world if you dig deeper. No accountability for international aid.

Supreme Court in Trump v CASA just severely restricted lower court judges ability to issue universal injunctions. With the court only able to provide relief to the specific plaintiffs. Amy Comey Barrett roasted Kentanji Brown Jackson in ACB’s majority ruling:

Lol read an article on espn and theyre discussing all the empty seats in group stage at the club world cup, and theyre trying to use that as a measurement of what to expect next year on the real world cup…


That is some weak writing.. no one but the small leagues liked the idea of the club world cup. Inter miami has already won 21.7 million which would take 71 MLS titles consecutively to collect.

For the most part the big teams have played some stars but mostly reserves.

And there is just soccer fatigue. Offseasons are there for a reason wnd youre asking players to play another add on tournament that just finished their league seasons and tournaments, PSG being the busiest team in this tournament..

That was extremely weak and unprofessional by ACB who just 2 days ago was on MAGA’s **** list but all she had to do is tickle their balls a little to be back on the good side.

ACB is just pandering.

And i agree with the supreme courts decision about lower court judges powers. If only past presidents had that ruling done then, who knows what state we would be in right now.

Birthright citizenship is a little complicated to me. I see the argument republicans are making of it but it is way more complexed than this child cant be granted citizenship if the parents illegally migrated here.

I don’t think ACB cares about MAGA or even the birthright citizenship question. I don’t see anywhere in the ruling she addressed the constitutionality of birthright citizenship. I think she is a strict adherent to the legal branch as constructed in the constitution and precedent and she roasted KBJ for not doing her research on it. I am not a fan of a lot of ACB rulings, but at least she has some premise of a legal foundation to stand on.

If judges like KBJ were to take over this country, it would be tyranny of the judiciary. Overstepped boundaries and double standards every where you look. Just look at her positions on the Alabama voter rights case and the Maine Censure Case one ruling she said minority rights matter even if it doesn’t affect the outcome of the election and in the other she opposed court intervention because the vote would have made no impact on the outcome of the vote. There are a ton of her rulings that ignore her own precedent. She deserved to get roasted by ACB and I think we are going to see her get called out by her colleagues on the Supreme Court more.

It's not complicated at all. They are US citizens. Though MAGA is preparing to strip them of their rights just like they did to women.

MAGA is definitely fighting this case, but if the judicial process decides to rule in favor of MAGA, is that a violation of the constitutional rights or the rights of human beings?

Last night was one of the most fun cards of UFC. There were too many high level moments than you normally get..

It was important for the UFC to have such a night and quickly put Jones behind them.

Learned to love these viral gotcha moments because it shows how useless they are, country doesn’t believe in facts anymore, all in our own vibe-based realities and politics only just a little more than a medium to air out our grievances about people we don’t like too much

No my friend. Saudi Arabia is not a part of the Abraham Accords. They have attached some conditions on what must be done to join. Which we may see this year.

Unless I missed something....honestly not sure how we got here with the Penn swim team. Trump administration clearly in the right here....I will respect anyone's wishes to be identified how they want (provided I'm told), but Lia Thomas being allowed to compete against girls was....an interesting decision.
