  1. good luck to make up for the big heap of bad luck the other day. very exciting game.
  2. If the Jets had even an average defence, they would be a good team. play by play radio guys are actually criticizing the d.
  3. absolutely crazy gun stuff from Florida. video. https://www.local10.com/news/local/2023/03/10/charges-dropped-against-man-arrested-for-road-rage-shooting-on-i-95/
  4. thankfully, no officers or directors of Glencore were harmed in the bringing of these charges. Glencore. profit by pillaging Africa since 1992. this is a depressing article. https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/other/after-impoverishing-millions-around-the-world-for-decades-glencore-finally-gets-slapped-by-us-courts/ar-AA18nIM5?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=b67fef78a60841aaa9d1b381f8ab54a6&ei=40 "The playbook consisted of behaviour that repeated itself over and over and over again in multiple jurisdictions: Bribing of foreign officials; Bribing of regulatory insiders to acquire privileged pricing intelligence and access to deals; Deployment of middlemen as cut-outs in corrupt deals; Transfer pricing from high-tax to low-tax geographies; Aggressive tax avoidance; Market manipulation through artificial constriction of supply; and Profiteering off international sanctions. Glencore was able to do this by surrounding itself with highly paid lawyers, accountants, fixers and public relations experts. "
  5. can't see the problem here. she said she does her own research. 😂 I used to enjoy " the weekly world news" at the grocery store. they should have hung in there.
  6. I think that's the tune that sent her on her way up. great tune. this is a hoot, she's in it:
  7. @blue_gold_84 strange, clumsy, crude stuff by China. Read today that Turkey, which has been allowing transit of goods through to Russia, has now stopped allowing it. after this: ISTANBUL, Feb 4 (Reuters) - The United States warned Turkey in recent days about the export to Russia of chemicals, microchips and other products that can be used in Moscow's war effort in Ukraine, and it could move to punish Turkish companies or banks contravening sanctions. Brian Nelson, the U.S. Treasury Department's top sanctions official, visited Turkish government and private sector officials on Thursday and Friday to urge more cooperation in disrupting the flow of such goods.
  8. "The chorus of voices claiming the Russian economy has proven vastly more resilient than expected is growing. Even former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and CNN’s Fareed Zakaria have wrongly despaired over the inefficacy of Western sanctions on Russia. The implications are equally disturbing–that unprecedented U.S.-led sanctions don’t work. Following on the IMF’s latest assessment that the Russian economy shrank by a less-than-expected -2.2% in 2022, many of these commentators point to the IMF’s projection of fractionally positive economic growth in Russia of +0.3% in 2023, outstripping Germany and the U.K., as evidence that the economic pressure campaign against Russia has failed. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Far from serving as the independent arbiter of the statistical underpinnings of global economic activity, the IMF has been asleep at the switch." he gives a good short breakdown of the economic mess inside Russia. https://fortune.com/2023/03/06/imf-naively-parroted-putin-fake-statisticsand-botched-economic-forecast-russia-ukraine/ nothing new about the IMF being full of it.
  9. losing Buff was a serious blow.
  10. I think possibly the Jets do not have a leader that elevates those around him. like Jonathon Toews seemed to do. it almost seemed like his teammates were afraid of him a little bit. and afraid to let him down. the odd time I watched them anyway. he was grim. intense. Just a guess, cause the Jets have good enough players to be doing better than they are, and have done. probly not coaching.
  11. make sure to hear sierra ferrell.
  12. I think this writer has this wrong. pretty sure that einstein was a quantum skeptic. I have tried to understand some of this stuff on a kindegarten level, and it is utterly beyond me. more like magic than what I think of as science.
  13. it is entertaining to follow the fans as the team stinks, ( "fire _______ now! Im done! ) then plays ok ( "not great but better than (xyz boring chore), then a day or two later plays well ( "great adds by chevy, really fitting in quickly, going on a run) specially like the " nobody wants to play here, too cold..... " like.... Buff, who ice fishes. this is easily reddit jets best feature.
  14. Native kids choir singing anthem in their language was very nice. well done.
  15. compare garland/Trump to Murdaugh Murdaughwife and son shot, killed june 2021 murdaugh charged with their murder july 2022 murdaugh convicted march 2 2023 Trump probably has no defence of any kind to the classified document theft. slam dunk as is paying off the prostitute. dont worry, Jack is tough, fearless! prosecuted war crimes! (remember Fitzgerald, who investigated Bush Cheney various crimes. He too, was, tough, very tough. he nailed....... scooter libby 😂 )
