This is a great example of why there's no military in the world that can even come close to the United States. Our ability to project power to any part of the planet is unmatched.

This issue with the SAVE act and Thune is outrageous. I will vote every republican out, there needs to be a nationwide primary, kick them all out. This gets even 70% of democrats support and this flaccid loser won't even allow a vote. What the hell are we voting for?

"bad bunny", "lady gaga", and a long list of talentless hacks have Grammys, but the greatest voice in the history of rock and roll doesn't. The Grammys are shit.

The suck ups for the NFL and Belichick are still trying to do what they have done all along, regarding the proven cheating Belichick did to influence the outcomes of games. Per Grok, The full story of Spygate is one of the most infamous controversies in NFL history, centering on the New England Patriots under head coach Bill Belichick in 2007.The IncidentOn September 9, 2007 (Week 1 of the season), during a game against the New York Jets at Giants Stadium, a Patriots video assistant named Matt Estrella was caught videotaping the Jets' defensive coaches' hand signals from an unauthorized on-field/sideline location. This violated NFL rules prohibiting the use of video equipment to record opponents' signals in real time for potential in-game advantage (though scouting signals in general was allowed, the method and location were banned). Jets head coach Eric Mangini (a former Belichick assistant) had reportedly warned the Patriots not to do it against his team and alerted NFL security, leading to the camera being confiscated. NFL Investigation and PunishmentCommissioner Roger Goodell launched a swift investigation. The Patriots turned over additional tapes and notes (six from late 2006 and 2007 preseason, per Goodell). Belichick claimed he believed the taping was permissible under his interpretation of the rules (he said it was for later review, not real-time use), but Goodell rejected this.On September 13, 2007, the NFL imposed historic penalties:Bill Belichick fined $500,000 (the league maximum for a coach). Patriots organization fined $250,000. Forfeiture of the Patriots' first-round draft pick in 2008 (a severe penalty, as it impacted future roster building). Goodell described it as a "calculated and deliberate attempt" to circumvent rules promoting fair play. The league destroyed the tapes (with Goodell's approval), citing they were consistent with the Patriots' explanation and showed no widespread advantage. This destruction fueled ongoing controversy, as critics (including U.S. Senator Arlen Specter) argued it prevented full transparency and suggested a cover-up to protect the league's image and the Patriots (a flagship franchise).Belichick accepted responsibility, apologized for the embarrassment, and the team continued its season, finishing 16-0 in the regular season (the first since the 1972 Dolphins) before losing Super Bowl XLII to the New York Giants.Broader Allegations and ControversiesGoodell later told Specter (in a 2008 meeting) that Belichick admitted the practice dated back to 2000 (when he became Patriots head coach). A 2015 ESPN investigation (based on 90+ interviews) claimed the Patriots taped opponents in at least 40 games from 2000-2007, with more extensive spying (including possible play-sheet thefts and radio jamming), and that Goodell's Spygate handling was lenient to avoid damaging the NFL's brand (with some suggesting Deflategate punishments later compensated for it). Rumors surfaced (e.g., via ex-employee Matt Walsh) about taping the Rams' pre-Super Bowl XXXVI walkthrough in 2002, but the NFL found no evidence after Walsh met with Goodell, and Walsh's claims were largely discredited or unproven. Many rivals (like Don Shula) felt it diminished the Patriots' achievements, while others argued it was overblown—a technical violation many teams skirted, with little proven in-game impact. Long-Term ImpactSpygate became a permanent stain on the Patriots' dynasty (six Super Bowls from 2001-2018), often cited alongside Deflategate as evidence of cheating. It contributed to distrust of the franchise and influenced Hall of Fame discussions—Belichick was notably snubbed from first-ballot induction in the Class of 2026, with voters reportedly citing Spygate (and Deflategate) as diminishing his legacy.The scandal led to rule clarifications on video use and heightened scrutiny of competitive advantages.systemic cheating that questions the legitimacy of the Patriots' success.

If you want to truly understand the underlying starter and accelerant for the conflagrations and unending slaughter that existed in Europe for it's entire history up until the end of WWII, read this post, and most importantly, it's replies.

This is a very important reveal for the divide that has grown in Europe from the United States. The phrase "we have entered a time of great power politics" is indicative of their insular world view. The United States lives in the very cutting edge of the world, in the "streets". We're in a constant state of grappling with the reality of the world, both good and bad. You have to outperform, out maneuver, or defeat the competition/opposition or your team suffers. Europe on the other hand, has lived for a very long time in a safe, comfortable, and rules based existence, a gated community if you will. It builds a world view where the US is accused of "back-stabbing" Ukraine because we are viewed as the guarantor of the Budapest memorandum. The fact that the UK and France are also signators of the document is conveniently brushed off. The rules and the slow, predictable pace of life that it imposes are comforting, the ability it affords them to be out of the guarantor/responsible party gives them comfort. To be taken care of by the state, and to value stasis is a natural result of living in a giant, regulated bureaucracy. The world has always been a time of great power politics. The world of human beings has been consistently reflective of humanity itself. It's a messy, brutal, jungle that is beautiful, exciting, and nurturing at the same time. A country or culture's belief that somehow those timeless, ingrained behaviors of humanity have an expiration date, or are eliminated by rules, or that they are constrained by imposed parameters, increases by how far they have retreated into their comforting confines. They atrophy because they avoid the realities of the world, the United States excels because we revel in it.

With the proclamations and anti American statements,l coming from European leaders, especially the tiny Frenchman in charge, it is imperative that the United States, regardless of what else occurs, bring all our boys home. The soil of France is no longer worth their presence. In retrospect, the United States should have listened to our gut and stayed out of the European fight. Our Soldiers did their duty to the bitter end, but we asked them to do so for a people and a continent that is unworthy of their sacrifices. I am sure that at least George Patton would want to leave, of course he didn't think much of deGaulle either.

No, it goes way back before that. Relax, it's a joke! I served in the US Army for 33 years, and served with some French officers in Europe and they were just fine, professional guys. The complete military history of France - Gallic Wars - Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian. [Or at ths time in history, a Roman -ed.] - Hundred Years War - Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman." Sainted. - Italian Wars - Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians. - Wars of Religion - France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots - Thirty Years War - France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her. - War of Revolution - Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux. - The Dutch War - Tied - War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War - Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power. - War of the Spanish Succession - Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since. - American Revolution - In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins when America does most of the fighting." - French Revolution - Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French. - The Napoleonic Wars - Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer. - The Franco-Prussian War - Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night. - World War I - Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States [Entering the war late -ed.]. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline. - World War II - Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song. - War in Indochina - Lost. French forces plead sickness; take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu - Algerian Rebellion - Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare; "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux. - War on Terrorism - France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's. The question for any country silly enough to count on the French should not be "Can we count on the French?", but rather "How long until France collapses?" "Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy baggage." Or, better still, the quote from last week's Wall Street Journal: "They're there when they need you."

It appears that the real bully is "brave little Denmark" and their enablers in the EU. Eugenics is a dark evil, secretly applying it to children and keeping it a secret for 65 years is darker still. Europe piously painting the President and the US in general as a dictator and an evil empire, while taking to arms in order to keep the status quo, all while knowing the dirty little secret, is tantamount to forcing a victim of sexual assault and barbaric violation of their human rights to be placed in the custody of her abuser. Europe has many dark chapters of their history, and it appears to be that the chapter on eugenics, even from "brave little Denmark", is still being written. So much for the moral high ground.

My experience exactly. Only, the British wanted to kick ass but their restricted ROE and their vulnerability to the international criminal court held them back.

Couple of observations on the European hysterics over Greenland. It is amazing how quickly Europeans reveal their hatred of the United States, putting their status of "allies" very much in question in light of our providing around 70% of the cost of defending them for the past 80 years. The inclusion of our commitment to attack Russia with strategic nuclear weapons in the event Russia used them in Europe, putting our country directly in the line of sight for the Russian response, for them, seems completely ludicrous now. Europe and their leaders have deployed forces and are making bellicose statements about how they can and will defend themselves. So why don't we make the move to let them? We could redirect our $1 trillion contribution to their defense, to the benefit of Americans for a change. Give Europe what it thinks it wants. I may be wrong, but if you go back to 2016, President Trump has pushed NATO to start contributing their fair share into their own defense. US Presidents have been doing the same thing for the past 80 years and Europe has just blown it off. I think that the President has initiated conversations and actions to get Europe to react, and they have made all the best arguments for why the US should leave NATO and have the Europeans pay for their own defense, just like he wants. It's a move that is very overdue.

Leftist propagandist says "what?"

You just can't fathom how deeply insane the left is. Evidently, in order to retain their insanity, their position is that public blowback would have stopped Hitler, Stalin, and Mao.

Everyone should read this.
