  2. it will be ok if we are kicking some behind........depending who else is playing i will get a nap or two in.
  3. what about the huge tax cuts for the rich? you forgot to mention them and they count. and as for agencies feeding the poor how come their are always families at walmart in the grass begging for food? they had two kids about one or two years old with them. they are regulars along with granny with her hat and draped in the american flag and wanting food and money to get by. so sorry but i had to come back and and throw this out there. how many more tent cities do you want to see spring up? and the first people attacked are the poor. hell i know a lady who was a huge trump fan and she showed her ass in a used book store telling me say a young black child get a pack of gum with food stamps. she got through half the N word and stopped because i was giving her the evil eye over her crap. a damn what 25 cent pack of gum to make a kid feel a little better. but it is the pols and not people we need to go over. we need tax codes where everyone pays their fair share instead of letting ol bezos and those guys killing this country. if you love your country sometimes you have to serve her. maybe fight for her. making your fellow countrymen pony up the taxes you will not is not very patriotic.
  4. After Calling Joe Biden Senile, Republicans Complain He Outsmarted Them Arthur Delaney, Igor Bobic 5–7 minutes WASHINGTON ― In March, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s colleagues laughed as the California Republican mocked President Joe Biden’s age, saying he would bring Biden “soft food” so they could negotiate over the debt ceiling. But McCarthy apparently did not bring Biden anything to eat during their talks, and the president chewed up the GOP’s debt limit proposal instead. Republicans aren’t laughing anymore. “Republicans got outsmarted by a President who can’t find his pants,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) tweeted on Tuesday, making clear she opposed the compromise legislation that came out of Biden and McCarthy’s negotiations. Biden, 80, is the oldest person to serve as president of the U.S., and his age and alleged senility have been a constant focus of Republicans and right-wing commentators, despite assurances from his doctors that there’s nothing wrong with his mind. Polls have also shown that voters have concerns about Biden’s age. During the debt limit standoff, McCarthy repeatedly said that by refusing to negotiate with Republicans, Biden was “bumbling” the U.S. toward a potentially catastrophic default. Even some Democrats criticized the president for not publicly engaging as much as McCarthy has in recent weeks. But as of Wednesday, default seemed unlikely, and the outlines of the deal appeared favorable to Democrats. Asked if Biden had gotten the better of McCarthy, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), replied, “Yeah, I think that’s a fair assumption.” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), meanwhile, said he believed McCarthy had simply been “misled.” He didn’t say by whom. Even McCarthy conceded that he had been impressed with Biden’s negotiating team during the talks, calling them “very professional, very smart” and “very tough at the same time.” But the speaker has denied that he was outsmarted, touting the bill’s reductions to government spending and stricter “work requirements” for federal food benefits that Democrats opposed. The legislation would reduce the deficit by $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years, in large part due to cuts to non-defense programs, according to the Congressional Budget Office. “How were we outsmarted? The largest cut in the history of Congress. The biggest ability to pull money back,” McCarthy told ABC News on Tuesday. “We’ve got work requirements for welfare where the Democrats said was a red line.” Still, Biden got plenty of wins in the bill, which cuts federal spending far less than Republicans initially hoped. And in a twist, the CBO said the work requirements won’t reduce spending or enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The program supports 20 million households and already limits benefits for unemployed adults without children or disabilities who are between the ages of 18 and 49, unless they work or perform some other qualifying activity for 20 hours a week. Republicans proposed expanding the work requirement to people in their early 50s, as well as restricting states’ discretion to exempt some recipients. The CBO estimated the Republican proposal would have saved $11 billion and reduced SNAP enrollment by 275,000. Biden signaled early on that he was open to stricter work requirements for SNAP, just not “anything of any consequence” — a statement that drew mocking laughter from McCarthy and his colleagues as someone, apparently a lawmaker behind the speaker, shouted, “Loser!” Sure enough, Biden agreed to expand SNAP’s work rules to people as old as 54 — but the White House also won changes that render the net impact of the bill inconsequential, at least from a budget perspective. The CBO said that, thanks to brand-new work requirement exemptions for veterans and homeless people, the bill would actually increase SNAP enrollment by a small amount and boost federal spending by $2 billion. The analysis was not a surprise to the White House; a senior administration official said Sunday that “we expect that the number of people subject to SNAP work requirements will stay roughly the same under this agreement.” The deal also preserves key Democratic priorities like student loan debt relief, climate change funding, and the bulk of investments aimed at making sure the wealthy pay their taxes. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) likened the bill to a “s*** sandwich” that Republicans would have to eat — a sentiment shared by other Republicans planning to support the bill in a vote on Wednesday. That doesn’t mean Democrats don’t have concerns about the legislation. Progressives, in particular, are furious that Biden was forced to negotiate over the debt limit at all, warning that he set a precedent Republicans will exploit time and time again if the debt limit isn’t abolished. “It rewards the hostage-taking that the Republicans have gotten so damn good at,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Tuesday. Still, Democrats maintain the GOP has underestimated Biden at every turn, pointing to his many legislative accomplishments in the last Congress, including bipartisan investments in infrastructure and semiconductor research, and his signing of a historic climate change bill. “If you haven’t figured out by now that our president is in the top 1% of negotiators, you haven’t been paying attention the last two and a half years,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told HuffPost.
  5. do you and trump get together and compare genital sizes after you think you have owned the dems? and how is that owning the dems working out for you?
  6. why are you showing me more trans and sports? i already stated in this thread i did not think it was fair. here is the thing. let people raise their own children and if they break the law then get em. but a lot of these kids need help and so far you do not believe that to be true. i wrote a lengthy post of friends that had it done. i see so much hate in church. you guys have to find someone to pick on or hate. you group everyone together when some have legitimate concerns about trans and changing sexes. those white nationalist are just good ol boys tho right? your new spokesperson is all about that. and ya'll do not care because you guys want the votes badly. you smear libs all the time calling us socialists and commies and godless what ever all you guys come up with. it frustrates and hurts my friend the pastor and i can assure you he is no where even close to being a lib.
  7. all it takes is to watch the video i posted of the man praying for trump to save him instead of jesus. many of you felt sad and that is ok but it still points to a very troubling trend. praying to trump instead of jesus? wth?
  8. dude all you do is bash these folks. i have yet to witness you say one loving thing about any of them. i am not arguing about sports i am talking about common decency which you are sorely lacking. hell you might dislike them more than i dislike trump and that is saying something. i have decided a while back you are a bigot. i am not being mean that is just who you are. gay or trans or lesbian. you show no love. none. against all that jesus has taught you. if you are a christian then you are expected tobe a certain role model. all you do is try to dig up dirt and i have yet to see you show any compassion.
  9. dangerous as in how? as far as competition if a man is trying to be a woman and still has that advantage no i do not think it is fair. you might have to draw me a picture as i do not understand what you are saying.
  10. the hate for trans and all that is gay has blinded you IAM. according to the bible you are supposed to love these folks. do you love them? or you just pick and choose. half you christians on this board absolutely hate me and this is ok except your faulty religion is showing.
  11. where ya at son of a tiger? hello? come on n and talk to poor ol fiddy and let me know you were mistaken about tubs being a racist.
  12. well which do you believe there scooter? i am very curious..............
  13. be glad i do not tell your boys you drink bush lite and shop at target..............grins
  14. why punish the hungry when it is the pols fault? if they quit borrowing from it and paid back what they had borrowed there would be no problem. now they want the less fortunate to bail them out. i disagree...............
  15. yahoo.com Breaking down what Auburn football gained, lost in the transfer portal this offseason Richard Silva, Montgomery Advertiser 4–5 minutes MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze has totally revamped his roster this offseason. Since getting hired in November, the Tigers have brought in a whopping 20 transfers, a haul good enough to earn them the No. 3 portal class in the country, according to 247Sports. The only two programs with a class rated higher is LSU and Colorado, as new coach Deion Sanders has added an unprecedented 50 transfers. Auburn does, however, have the most four-star transfers in the nation with 11. LSU has eight. Colorado has four. On the other end, the Tigers lost 18 transfers, though the production gained far outweighs what went out the door. Here's a breakdown of the numbers behind what Freeze has done through the portal this offseason. HUGH FREEZE: Auburn football coach offers no comment on potential suspensions to players SWING GAMES: 5 pivotal games that'll make or break Auburn football's season in 2023 ONE OR THE OTHER: Does Auburn football's Hugh Freeze prefer an eight- or nine-game SEC schedule? It depends Auburn football's new-look receivers It took until the spring portal period, but Auburn's wide receiver room got a makeover. The position was one in which the Tigers had the most attrition — Dazalin Worsham (UAB), Ze'Vian Capers (Western Kentucky), Tar'Varish Dawson (Colorado) and Landen King (Utah) all left — but also the one with the most new faces. Auburn brought in Nick Mardner from Cincinnati in December and added three WRs —Jyaire Shorter from North Texas, Shane Hooks from Jackson State and Caleb Burton III from Ohio State — in May. In terms of production gained and lost, Auburn's departures are taking with them 23 career receptions for 268 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, the additions come to the Plains with a combined 253 receptions for 4,390 yards and 49 scores. A stark difference. Of course, each of the new receivers are coming from a perceived lower level of competition than the SEC, but the staggering disparity in production can't be overlooked. Offensive line reconstruction With Avery Jones (East Carolina), Dillon Wade (Tulsa), Gunner Britton (Western Kentucky) and Jaden Muskrat (Tulsa) added this offseason, the Tigers may have four new starters on the offensive line. Wade at left tackle, Jones at center and Britton at right tackle were locks at their positions during spring practice, and even though Muskrat played tackle with the Golden Hurricane, Freeze said he has the versatility to play inside if needed: "He can do both, which is why he was that high for us," Freeze said May 10. Two offensive linemen hit the portal for Auburn in Keinondre Jones and Colby Smith. Jones played 334 offensive snaps last year, per Pro Football Focus. Smith's numbers aren't available, but he didn't see the field until late in the season — his first playing time came against Western Kentucky in AU's penultimate game. Similar to wide receiver, the numbers here are jarring. The four newcomers combined for 3,552 snaps on the offensive line a season ago, with Britton's 1,036 leading the way. Front seven the focus for Auburn Tigers defense Aside from special teams, the only position group Auburn didn't add a transfer to this offseason was at defensive back. There wasn't much movement in the other direction, either, as Craig McDonald was the only DB to leave. Amongst the front seven, though? The Tigers made significant changes. At defensive line, jack and linebacker, Auburn lost eight players and added nine. The departures have combined career stats of 38 total tackles, three tackles for loss, a pass deflection and a forced fumble. As has been the trend, Auburn's additions have produced much more at the schools they're coming from. The group of nine has a collective 707 total tackles, 65.5 tackles for loss, 17 pass deflections and nine forced fumbles.

  16. si.com PFF graded Shane Hooks well in 2022 while he was at Jackson State Andrew Stefaniak 2–3 minutes Shane Hooks was one of the most significant additions to Auburn's transfer class as he brings 64 receptions, 748 yards, and ten touchdowns to the Plains. With these numbers, Hooks was Jackson State's leading receiver a season ago, catching passes from Deion Sanders's son Shedeur. The six-foot-four wideout graded out well on PFF, receiving a 72.1 receiving grade and a 72 overall offensive grade. He played 711 snaps on the outside while only playing 11 snaps in the slot. With the massive frame Hooks possess, you will see him manning the outside for Auburn this season, hopefully connecting for big gains from Payton Thorne or Robby Ashford. The receiver position was one that Auburn had to sure up with the transfer portal, and Coach Freeze did just that, bringing in four receivers. Hooks has a real shot at leading Auburn in receiving this season, as it is a well know fact that Coach Freeze loves big wideouts. Hooks makes a lot of highlight reel plays, so you can definitely expect to see him on Sports Center a time or two this season. This receiver room has transitioned from a room I was concerned about to one I'm excited about, and Hooks is a big part of that.
  17. auburnwire.usatoday.com Auburn listed among teams with the most blue-chip commits so far in the 2024 recruiting cycle Daniel Locke ~2 minutes Since Hugh Freeze took over as head coach of the Auburn Tigers football program late last year he wasted no time trying to improve Auburn’s recruiting after lackluster efforts by the previous tenure. The efforts have not gone unnoticed as Auburn’s recruiting class of 2023 improved drastically in a short period, and the Tigers have made a big splash in the transfer portal. The 2024 recruiting class, which will be the first recruiting class for Freeze, is already shaping up to be one of the best Auburn has seen. Buy Tigers Tickets Blue-chip commits are recruits who have a four or five-star rating. The percentage of a team’s commits who meet that criterion is that team’s blue-chip percentage. Four of Auburn’s five commits for the 2024 class fit the mold: QB Walker White, RB J'Marion Burnette, CB A'mon Lane, and CB Jayden Lewis. On3 ranked the programs with the highest blue-chip ratings so far in the 2024 cycle and Auburn is currently in fourth place with 80% of its commits meeting the bill. The programs ahead of Auburn are Alabama, South Carolina, Florida and Ohio State. The rest of the top 10 after Auburn includes Clemson, Oregon, Georgia, Oklahoma, USC, and Michigan.

  18. 398 David Moye Wed, May 31, 2023 at 3:52 PM CDT Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has recently come under fire for making incendiary comments related to race — with even his own brother now voicing disapproval. On Friday, musician Charles Tuberville, who has reportedly played with B.B. King, Leon Russell, Johnny Winter, Delbert McClinton and other stars, took to Facebook to condemn his politician sibling. “Due to recent statements by him promoting racial stereotypes, white nationalism and other various controversial topics, I feel compelled to distance myself from his ignorant, hateful rants,” wrote the songsmith. “I DO NOT agree with any of the vile rhetoric coming out of his mouth,” he added. “Please don’t confuse my brother with me. Thanks.” The social media post, which had received hundreds of “likes” and other reactions as of Wednesday afternoon, came shortly after the Alabama Republican suggested on a podcast that inner-city teachers don’t know how to read or write — a comment that drew accusations of racism. And earlier this month, the senator defended the idea of white nationalists serving in the military, telling Birmingham radio station WBHM that they deserve the “opportunity to make this country better” just like any other American. Tommy Tuberville also faced pushback last year for comments about reparations for the descendants of enslaved people. HuffPost reached out to the senator for comment but did not receive an immediate response. Related...

  19. Butch Thompson previews Auburn’s regional opponents Daniel Locke 2–3 minutes For the first time in program history, the Auburn Tigers will be hosting a regional for the second straight season. In an article from 247Sports written by Jason Caldwell, statements from Butch Thompson regarding the Tiger’s slate of opponents and what this means for the program and community as a whole are included. “I guess the biggest takeaway is the first time in our program history for Auburn baseball to host back-to-back Regionals at Plainsman Park is a big, big deal and a credit to our assistant coaches, all of our staff and these amazing players that have brought consistency to the program,” coach Butch Thompson said on Monday. “Last year was pretty special here and to be able to do it again, I’m looking forward to it.” Thompson also highlighted participants competing in the Auburn Regional… Southern Miss, Samford, and Penn: “A Penn team that’s won eight straight and just absolutely dominated their region,” Thompson said about facing the Ivy League champs. “Southern Miss and Scott Berry announcing his retirement. Coach Oz gets the opportunity to lead that program. I know Southern Miss, how they want to go out after another great season. And then Samford, a team that won three games in one day to get the automatic qualifier. I’m very well aware.” Auburn will have its work cut out for them but are more than capable of advancing to take on the winner of the Clemson Regional and making some noise in the NCAA Tournament once again, which could turn into another College World Series appearance.
