His weight gain, swollen feet, bruised hands (which I don't buy is from Asprin) indicate he might not be well enough to run in 3 years let alone start serving in four..
Italy "had our backs"? They are the worst (or second/third worst just ahead of Greece/Portugal) spenders on the military in NATO. Something in the one percent range while countries like Poland spend about four or five of GDP on defense. Unless they have a lot of AISE agents in Iran that are telling us important things not sure how they can really help.
Not surprised UK and France isn't helping - my guess it is due to all the Muslims from Iran who live in those two countries. Could be wrong.

I go to Fordham a few times a year (to see basketball) and I have always felt very safe there. Just a few blocks away is an incredible "second little Italy" for NYC with amazing food. Now 10 blocks away from that....not so nice...

re: What’s the longest Uber ride you have done?
Posted by Eurocat on 2/23/26 at 7:09 pm to doublecutter
It was cheaper for me to stay in a nice four star hotel in Baltimore and Uber in to DC for a conference than the stay just about anywhere in DC (in other words any hotel not in the Ghetto). I forget the price prolly like 100 dollars or something.

I would imagine the actually least safe schools would be the lousy inner city one's like Lehman in the Bronx, LIU in a bad part of Brooklyn, UIC in a badish part of Chicago, maybe Temple? How safe are Tulane and Loyola?
Maybe something issued by the US after we beat them?
re: Texas funded 13 Million for mosques
Posted by Eurocat on 2/23/26 at 8:56 am to H2Oproof Tiger
AI Overview
The claim that the Texas state government funneled $13 million in taxpayer funds to mosques and Islamic organizations is misinformation that has circulated on social media platforms.
The false information is often linked to the proposed East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) development, a project that has been the subject of several state-level investigations initiated by Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton. These investigations have been criticized by Muslim advocacy groups and attorneys for the mosque as being groundless.
Key facts:
Source of Funds: The claims circulating online allege that the money came from federal and state monies. However, reports indicate this figure is associated with a private development project (EPIC City, recently renamed "The Meadow"), which is funded through the mosque's development entity, Community Capital Partners, not Texas taxpayer money.

This is one time the resorts might be hit because the USA participated in this action.

Our country would have a lot less of a groove.
Thing is, I remember 20 years ago watching tv shows (news shows, not shows like ER) about people who would get sick and lose the house, business, etc. There is a lot less of that now. So that's one good thing.
Second, I like the fact that you can't get screwed if someone in your family is born or develops a preexisting condition.
Third, we have more and better drugs created in the last twenty years. Incredible machines in many ER's. But they are not cheap. If you wanna do without these contraptions and these potions, we can do it and your prices will go right back down. But I'd rather pay more and be able to get a really good MRI or Catscan.

A NYC cop with something like 15 years on the job can earn 250 plus and even more after overtime. I bet Tokyo cops dont have that.

Cartel goal is to make it all the way to Washington and seize and burn the Epstein files.
So you would not have said anything if Janet Reno had done this, you'd consider her flying on a gvt plane perfectly fine and part of her personal life? Really?
