@stick1817 @NavyLookout How did that happen? I saw a LOT of NZ men lined up outside police stations on the news one evening, all waiting to comply with the edict of a 32-year-old chick pm telling all the men to turn in their awful rifles after some psycho mass shooting. Looked like full compliance. Sad
English

@NavyLookout This is all perfectly understandable once you realize that New Zealand has completely run out of men.

@NavyLookout Just look at her. why would you let her be a captain of anything?
English

@vtchakarova Go show that "spirit" in Ukraine and take Germany, Holland, Denmark, Belgium, Italy and Poland with you...a d go k!l some Russians. We got this one. Thx.

@qwilpen @bigfinish Just saw this beauty on The Odessa File and looked her up. So sad, her death and then her husband only hours after her funeral. He must've been devastated. Where is her biography that you mention?
English

@bigfinish A wonderful lovely person. With a wicked sense of humour and that laugh. Such a huge loss so young. Raise a glass. Listen to her Biography, and enjoy .

@trustedstar1 @SMHatLibs Exactly, at least the leftists have the courage of their convictions.

@Enigma16035 @nflrums Richardson was an immature 1st rd millionaire; got injured first season and was done. Harris has 4400 yds in four seasons. But he brought that Bama orthopedic curse with him. I was amazed he stayed healthy in college. Unfair, inaccurate comparison.

@fab2086109511 @FlagAndFire You don't even understand what I said. I said she and others are being used as Trump photo op. Guardsmen have no authority and certainly no expertise to do anything. They are there so Trump can tell us he's "sending in 'troops'." Without martial law, military has no authority.
English

@jackmcdavid6 @FlagAndFire You are a bitter hateful person John and are just as responsible for the death of this young woman as the shooter is. Pray that you and your family will feel the pain that her family is feeling.
English

@Fran34646943 @fab2086109511 @FlagAndFire People need to work on your reading comprehension. I'm sorry for her and family. My ONLY POINT was that Trump's sticking these amateur "troops" with zero legal training in pest hole cities for a couple months, WITHOUT Martial Law authority, it accomplished nothing.
English

@shannonrwatts @Fran34646943 These were legal, law abiding, Dutch citizens whose ancestors had been there for centuries who were being snatched. Of course, they'd also be murdered in mass. Here, people by the millions are here illegally and need to simply return to their HOME COUNTRY. Dishonest comparison

@kiraincongress Europe can't make up their minds where to take their extra long lunches or to use bathroom before or after lunch. Europe has atrophied; too many wars and too many decades of US security blanket. Putin knew Europe was finished after 30 yrs of atrophy after Cold War.
English

@kiraincongress But that's only because US pols were fighting new kind of war only fought in west: "police actions," where you don't try to win but only manage the fighting. We never invaded N. Viet and idiot Bush had no plan in Afgh but engage in "nation building." Rus has no such restrictions.

@wmoreorless @Alejandro947174 @dailydabber4 @Nats2024 @sleuthin @stoolpresidente And notice Pete Carroll, instead of arguing to get a couple ticks back on clock from when player wouldn't get off his player, is apparently perfectly okay to let the next play (whether a hail mary or field goal attempt) be the last play...which guarantees defeat, needing 10-pts.
English

@Alejandro947174 @dailydabber4 @Nats2024 @sleuthin @stoolpresidente There's a running clock when you kick the field goal. Game over. Anyone who believes raiders were trying to win the game should have their heads examined.
English

@Nats2024 @Alejandro947174 @dailydabber4 @sleuthin @stoolpresidente Not with four ticks. 46- yarder always takes four seconds. Four ticks, in this scenario, takes clock to "O0," game over. No onside kick allowed if scoring play (TD or FG) takes clock to zero.
English

@Corndogdreams @dailydabber4 @Nats2024 @sleuthin @stoolpresidente But four ticks ends game. No inside kick if field goal takes clock to "00:00."
Pete never even argued for seconds back on clock to allow for inside kick after a successful field goal.
English

@dailydabber4 @Nats2024 @sleuthin @stoolpresidente Multiple examples of 46+ yarder field goals only burning 4. Dead ball on clean kicking recovery on onside or receiving team touch live ball chance to return for TD
English

@Nats2024 @jcorrrr @sleuthin @stoolpresidente No fg over 20-25 yds has ever taken just 3 sec. It's always 4 beyond that, and this is 40+. The key is Pete not arguing for seconds back. There were 7-8 sec when DB had been on him for a sec. Xtra secs needed for onside + hail mary. Pete says nada and accepts f'g as last play.
English

Sorry idiot but they had a chance with the FG if could be done in less than 4 seconds. Either way whatever score they could make had to be done in 3 seconds, FG is more likely. Maybe 0.1% to 0% but still more likely. FG same as TD, they needed onside kick score either way. FG was 100% the right and only idiots think otherwise. And bigger idiots think it was “rigged” like nobody was betting other side!
English

@DavidWinter1962 @BowesChay Holds the line? It was supposed to be over in early spring '22. He's got N. Kor and others there. No one that should be fighting Russia is fighting them. We're all in bleachers with knees knocking. Only Ukr standing tall against odds. West will pay if Ukr falls. And I hope we pay
English

There’s a grim poetic justice in watching the West’s bloated, neocon-warped deep-state juggernaut—bankrolled by billionaire oligarchs and steered by the morally bankrupt—get slowly bled dry by what the pundits love to call “a gas station with nukes.” A country that supposedly sent half-trained mobiks armed with Mosin rifles and shovels, that scavenged chips from washing machines and refrigerators to keep its missiles flying, and yet, three years in, still holds the line and dictates the pace of the war.
The irony is exquisite: trillions of dollars, decades of NATO expansion, an endless conveyor belt of wonder-weapons, and the combined economic might of the West… stalemated by a nation we were assured would collapse in weeks. Hubris doesn’t just get punished—it gets humiliated in slow motion.
