"seizing people from their homes"

Next thing you know, law enforcement will be seizing people who commit crimes from their homes, churches, even schools. Is there no safe space for wanted criminals? And if Bill would kindly request that his loyal followers stop subjecting ICE agents to violence while they do their jobs, and stalking them to their homes, then the masks wouldn't be necessary.

But we get it, you're Israel first. So you and Levin and Shapiro should go there and celebrate whatever holiday they do while real America firsters celebrate THIS country.

Unfortunately, you don't get it. That's what I've been saying. We need an ally in that region and Israel is it. What you're doing by rejecting our ally is put China and Russia first. So you and Tucker and Fuentes should go celebrate with Putin and Xi this weekend, while real America firsters celebrate THIS country.

An elected official who puts a foreign country over their own is as big of an enemy to this country as a foreign one.

A US citizen who's incapable of differentiating allies from enemies is as big an enemy to this country as a foreign one.

Selective outrage. I wish the woke right would grow up and get over themselves.

Nah, they're too weak minded to realize that all they are is another brainwashed splinter group. Divide and conquer is a winning strategy for America's foreign enemies.

I just find it amusing that you had to wait 17 years.

Congrats on your historical success, but all good things come to an end.

I've posted about this before. China's using the same propaganda techniques over and over in this country, and it's working. Some of their bots live on this board, as you can tell from the downvotes.

It seems like retain and develop offers a lot more margin of error that relying primarily on the portal. If a team is counting on being able to find everything it needs every year, a few misses can be catastrophic. Retain and supplement via the portal can at least get a team to a "good enough is good enough" level.

I agree with what you're saying, but looking at the numbers some programs seem to be more aggressive about turning over roster. Texas is one that caught my eye this year. From what I can tell they lost about the same number to NFL/graduation that UGA did. In the portal, they lost about 10 more and added about a dozen more than we did. The result is that their 2026 roster played a total of 18,100 snaps in 2025, but 7334 (41%) of those come from portal pickups. Our 2026 roster played a total of 16.228 snaps in 2025, with 3438 (21%) of that coming from the portal.

Some of that turnover may have been intentional. Texas can definitely afford to play it that way if they choose. Whatever the reason, Texas' 2026 roster (returners and portal additions) played significantly more 2025 game snaps that UGA's roster, but UGA's 2026 returning players had significantly more 2025 game snaps (12.790) than Texas' returning players (10,766).

In the past, I would definitely have given more weight to Georgia's more homegrown roster, but Texas added a lot of game experience and the last couple of cfb seasons' outcomes make me hesistant to dismiss the logic of doing it that way if a program can afford it.

These are the 2025 snap counts for each player on 2026 roster (excluding a couple of walk ons with negligible snap counts). The data comes from a website called PuntAndRally.com. It's a very nice site if you haven't checked it out.

UGA offense totalled about 1000 total plays in 2025 and the defense totalled about 850 plays.

There's the first indicator that the author is biased. The Alien Enemies Act is not exclusively a "wartime authority". It's an extremely broad authority given directly to the president to be used whenever he perceives an influx of aliens to be a threat to the public safety within these shores.

Do you ever wonder why the US govt can collect voluminous details on every facet of our lives, our economy, our incomes, our tendencies and behaviors, but immigration is a statistical black box? How many non-citizens are here, by category? How many have a criminal record or serious driving infractions. How many have self paid car insurance, health insurance? How many pay net income tax, property tax, vehicle tax? How many, along with their family, use resources from any of the myriad govt assistance programs? How many are incarcerated? How many have voted? In other words, from a financial standpoint, what is their net cost or benefit to US society and the government? Apparently these numbers don't exist, but they should because the US is drowning in red ink and that's about to be a huge problem for everyone.
