For the Boston Ball Hogs over the Dallas Power, final score 51-49

With 21 points he went 2 for 4 from distance and that last one notches 50%, a championship game MVP, and a league championship. I've never really watched this league but that was a cool play.

Gary Payton is their HC apparently.

The dredging at the mouth of the river/lake maurepas is absolutely needed. In some spots at the mouth it’s less than 4 ft deep. There’s really no negative from doing this

Good call I don't see any either.

And water will inherently flow faster

So sweeping Atlanta sounds plausible this year

So it's the first. phase from 22 to Maurepas that's funded for $20 MM.. That should help though right? If any stretch of river is clogged up it needs to be cleared out.

BTW how's the Comite diversion going? I thought I read something positive was moving on that too.

The last time it was dredged was in the 50s! :wha:

It seems like a lot of work will be ongoing ten years after the great flood, these projects make a lot of sense. I guess this can be a thread about floodwater mitigation too.

re: MAGA is "Killing it" in making debt

He stated that if given two terms, he’d not only make the deficit 0, he would pay off the debt. Only a fool would think he’s on his way to either.

A most valid critique of Trump is that he has borderline insane aspirations. He was rolling out with EO's and proposed legislation in his first week all the way up until the Iran war started at a pace that was too fast to count. It's not like he didn't move the needle on a ton of stuff like getting the border closed, making DC safe, the big beautiful bill, bringing trillions of investments stateside, Venezuela, disarming Iran, etc all before midterms. To say that he's not a top 5 consequential president would be fooling yourself.

These trillions in deregulation, investment, companies building factories with their own power plants are definitely a step in the right direction to paying down the debt if that's what you're concerned about. If it doesn't happen before he leaves office, it's about return of investment, it may take a while after all we're talking $40 trillion. Math I couldn't even envision computing. He's definitely doing a lot more about it than any other president this millennium.

Kinda amazing how everyone was all in for DJT for the last ten years, especially in light of the insanely unfair stuff his opponents did to him, and things get a little rough in their eyes and now he's the bad guy. Not talking to everyone here, but it's like where's your patience all the sudden? I don't have to tell you how nice it is to have an America first president, like you guys know this. I can't think of a better guy to have in the oval on your side right now.

This. From what I can gather Iran is IDK, but it's not like the War Dept. is about to announce to the public exactly what cards we're going to play. Things are going way better stateside than under Sleepy and that's undeniable. I wish gas was cheaper but with the Strait not operating how we'd like because what's left of Iran's leadership are acting like the deranged nuts they are, it's not smooth sailing just yet.
