Truck practice and qualifying canceled because the rain began pouring down shortly before they were to take the track. Sadly appropriate.
Meh, that tweet is misleading. If you read the article, this is just the CEO repeating what he said a couple of years ago when he took control of the Hooters of America locations that went bankrupt.

The Original Hooters locations, which the CEO was always a part of, are better and more like what they were in the 80s and 90s.

When asked if he’s working to make Hooter’s more family friendly, Kiefer told PEOPLE, “we have been that way always.”

I guess the DV are coming from people that actually think that is how a draft room is on draft day

I highly doubt anyone who downvoted actually thinks that.:lol:

Most people know it's a ridiculous movie, but that makes it more entertaining and rewatchable.

Dozens of European soccer jerseys from the last 30 years, but the coolest might be a game-worn 08-09 Wolfsburg jersey when they won the Bundesliga.

This is a Dale Sr./Fireball Roberts cataclysmic loss moment for the sport. The only difference is it didn’t happen on the track.

It's this weird mix of Dale Sr's death in that you can't imagine a race without him on the track, fighting for position, mixing it up. But there's also that strange disbelief like when Davey and Alan died- if a racer is going to die you figure it'll be on the track like Sr (or Adam Petty, Clifford Allison), not a plane/helo crash or sudden medical issue.

Agree with both of you. I was still working when the news broke, so I immediately turned on NASCAR Radio on Sirius, and have been listening most of the night.

Tonight has an extra heavy Earnhardt feel about it, yet it was another tragic off-track death that the sport has unfortunately experienced too much of.

Maybe it's because Rowdy is my age and I basically watched his entire career, and even perhaps it being an unknown illness rather than an accident, but this one has floored me more than the others.

She has been attacking Republicans for years

She has been doing it for basically half my life now. It's the only reason her name remains remotely relevant. I knew multiple girls in my 20s who didn't like country music, but said they liked the Dixie Chicks simply because they hated GWB.

I guess more power to her if being a screeching lefty is the only way to get angry white women to keep listening to her music.
quote:

If Trump is turning off key parts of his coalition from 2024, including independents, they might not show up, giving room for motivated and organized dems to steal a handful of seats they wouldn’t otherwise get. When races are contested and margins are slim, the people in the middle (who don’t vote in closed republican primaries) decide who wins.

It's alarming that many on this board can't or won't see this.

Flexing on Massie for losing a congressional primary is stupid and irrelevant. There are still millions of 2024 Trump voters across this country who support Massie's brand of politics without ever living in Kentucky.

That segment could be disillusioned to the point where they just don't show up to the polls now. And who could blame them? Charlie Kirk helped sell Trump's Republican party to young people as a big-tent America First party, yet those with the most conservative voting records are being bullied out. It's basically ringing the dinner bell for Dems to eat up seats they shouldn't.

And there are still reinforcements coming to help them this year right? Teel gotta be back soon. Montgomery will probably get the call along with Hagen Smith

Yep. Teel began his rehab assignment in Charlotte this past week. I've been clamoring for him to get back quickly because having Quero in the lineup regularly has kind of been an auto out. Although I might have to reassess my opinion of him after that walk-off today.:lol:
WHITE SOX WINNER!!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA CUBS

Two fun teams in Chicago gotta feel great to be a Sox fan now

I went to a cookout last night at my buddy's house, and probably 80% of the people there were wearing Sox gear. We joked that it's nice to not be ashamed anymore.:lol:
No he already threw a couple of innings today.

Hopefully we can win it again now without having to dip further into the bullpen...

Sonuvabitch, I really thought Vargas was going to drive in Murakami to win it.
Dominguez is such a fricking bum.

“One indicator is what’s on her dating profile. If she lists her religion but not political views, or makes an apathetic ‘not political’ nonsense claim, that’s usually a sign.”

It's weird how lefties feel like they need to share political views on their profiles.

If your manic political ideology is one of the most important things you want a potential suitor to know about you, I can only assume you have no life or personality, and should be avoided.

It's hilarious that this is even relevant. Believe all women was non-existent during the Kavanaugh hearings and Trump's tenure. But for Massie it's ok.

Say what you want about the French, but they know how to riot and not just stand around waving signs with their big fat asses.

True, the French aren't generally as passive as we or the British are. I've said before that if a Civil War does actually pop off somewhere in the West, it'll be in France before the US or UK.

They're approaching an economic crisis, Macron's approval ratings have been down in the teens for a while, and over half the country believes he should resign. Incidentally, they've also had record numbers of young adults converting to Catholicism in the last year. The breaking point is much closer IMO.

The Newsom jig is up. He cant even contend for running for President--he is so done politically. Yet Carlson calls him competent...

Tucker called him not incompetent, and far more malicious and less transparent than Trump. There is nothing untrue about any of that when you consider how he has managed to fail upward in his career.

You just said yourself he would have been recalled if not for cheating. He clearly still has influential support behind him who want him in power, and he's somehow slick enough to survive frick-ups that would have already killed most political careers.

Democrats demonstrate over and over that they don't care what the will of the people is. They will do whatever it takes to install their POS to further their agendas.
Making the Reflecting Pool look nice for a fraction of the cost = bad.

Destroying a public park on the National Register of Historic Places to build the Obama Presidential Center for a billion dollars and give it an Eastern Bloc aesthetic = good.
quote:

Another beauty about Tucker is that of all the states he chose to live in he went to Maine but you never hear him complaining about their policies and politicians.

He did two entire shows with a journalist from Maine investigating government corruption and ties to China, the most recent one just a few months ago.

Hell, when he was still at FOX, he did a Fox Nation special focused on green energy scams in Maine.
quote:

i don't love or hate Rubin, but like Tucker and Kelly, I've soured on Israel and people like Rubin, Levin, and Shapiro are why (combined with Israel's actions)

Dave seems like a nice guy... but he's really dumb.

I didn't get it at first, but the more I heard him talk, the more I realized he's not an intellectual or quick on his feet. People just liked him because he was a gay who left the plantation.

I used to really enjoy Rubin's more moderated approach. He didn't act like the smartest guy in the room, didn't talk a million miles a minute, and injected some humor.

He has really turned into a nasty, bloodthirsty neo-con the last couple of years though. I don't know if some old tendencies from his TYT days have bubbled to the surface, but he has become difficult to listen to.
I saw that posted on twitter. 17 beers.:lol:
