One could argue that we were a hair away from losing the Tennessee series

Yes, totally agree. Brits will tell you themselves without Indian food there would really be no good food in England.

When do you plan to open in London?
Ak-47 round. Why is that not in the headline!

7.62x39mm:
This round is often associated with the AK-47 and other Kalashnikov-type rifles, as well as the SKS rifle. It's a high-performance intermediate-range round popular in many military and civilian applications.
7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester):
This is a high-powered rifle cartridge used in NATO countries, including the United States, and also in various civilian bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles. It's known for its accuracy and effectiveness at longer ranges.

You’d be punching holes in your wall the first time our starting QB gets a little shaken up and has to sit out of the 4th quarter of an SEC title game.


Given that this rule change is designed to prevent the intentional delay of offensive drives, why exactly would the QB be faking an injury to slowdown the offense?
So BARDA recently cancelled all work and contracts for ongoing or approved COVID -19 studies.
This actually seems more logical. Assess a vaccination strategy of a known deadly virus that could be spread by migration (which is more common than any other time in recent memory) from endemic to non-endemic regions vs spending on a virus that has essentially been mitigated (though still bad for some) by herd immunity.
Isn’t this what we want from our government instead of funding gain of function mutation studies that Risk a global pandemic?

Russia has no more say over Ukraine joining NATO than the US has over Cuba joining BRICS.


I enjoy your posts but I think this one you missed a bit. BRICS is economic in nature, NATO is military.
No American should think that it is unreasonable for a country to not want their direct neighbor to be armed with weapons pointed at them. This would have been the end result of Ukraine in NATO.
The US has already set this precedent in the 60s with the Cuban Missile Crisis. I struggle to find a better analogy but perhaps you can..
QATAR has extremely strong ties to the US. This is a hit piece that is lacking in credibility. If T A&M sold their IP rights, that's on them if it has potential strategic implications
She’s saying the base operates well and rest of world is problematic. I don’t think this is necessarily a “break” as he it seems he’s talking global politics and she’s concerned about local operations?
It's easier to work domestically if costs are marginally different, they would keep it here. But if costs are materially different, 30% or more for example, it's hard not to justify from a fiduciary duty standpoint, moving offshore. However, if the long term strategy of china was to have the state undersrite the costs to artificially lower, which over time creates a monopoly, then they can do what they want, and US has lost capacity, no matter the costs.
We saw that in COVID in part. No easy way to correct domestic manufacturing capacity overnight. The lose of capacity happened over decades.

China is already teetering.


Why are they teetering? Seriously trying to understand. Something other than population related?

Explain why you say this? I’m not flaming, I generally want to understand what the metrics are behind this belief. What is their Achilles heal so to speak?

RALEIGH
In a split decision, a panel of judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled Friday that tens of thousands of votes cast in the contested 2024 Supreme Court race should be recounted and verified — potentially flipping the election results.
The court ordered that over 60,000 voters whose eligibility has been challenged by Republican Jefferson Griffin should be given 15 days to provide documentation to election workers showing they are able to vote. If they fail to do so, their votes would be thrown out.
Who is the other guy? Looks like a modern tight end?

Yep. Other schools back their head coaches better. This will impact who comes here. You have to operate in the grey zone to be competitive and you need an administration that has your back. LSU has a track record compared to other schools in similar situations of not backing their guy.

But one could argue firing Wade with the idea LSU (Who has missed on 3 of the last 4 coaches) would hire someone good was the actual problem

To your point, wasn't Chris Beard available? The same Chris Beard hired by Ole Miss who's 6th seeded team beat the 3 seed last night to give the SEC 7 teams in the Sweet 16 and set a new record for number of teams from one conference in the Sweet 16?
