    It's an away game for SMU, but I will be surprised if they lose against Clemson.

    Politics Going after Greenland

    Serious question... Has our economic and military strength been under threat since Biden took office or the 50 years before that ? Our true power had derived from using our soft power to lend assistance and promote global democracy in 3rd world countries and to stand shoulder to shoulder with...

    I am just so happy Trimble chose to play here this year as a Senior. I would love to have seen Nickel play here as a Senior. Elliot Cadeau as a Junior. Veesaar as a Junior and Wilson as a rare real deal 5 star Frosh. That would be a formidable starting 5 :)

    We had a player who played miniscule minutes as a Frosh. The story is that we told him he would get no more minutes as a Soph and so he left. I'm guessing he was not hoping for big NIL money going into his Soph year at UNC, just more playing time ? Today he is at Vandy as the 3rd leading...

    Retirement

    For most of my adult life my work/career was my identity, and then other circumstances took priority. I retired in 2007 at age 55yo. Fortunately, I had the means to retire and felt taking care of my best friend who had cancer and helping the missus being our day care for our pre-school...

    Vandy is 14-0 with the best record in SEC with a win over South Carolina. Nickel scored 16 pts in 28 minutes hitting 4-7 from the 3 point line. Vandy plays #13 Bama tonight. Should be a good game to watch...

    Retirement

    I'm glad you did. A robust discussion of when or whether to retire ( or if you are financially able to retire at all ) is a pertinent topic for this thread. I am enjoying the discussion you are having with SnoopRob

    Politics US strikes Venezuela / Captures Maduro

    When I was in high school back in the late 60's I had a poster on my bedroom wall. It was a picture of the American flag with two dozen or so small masks completely covering the flag with the caption " I can't see my flag anymore" I wish I had saved that poster...sigh Everything old is new...

    Politics US strikes Venezuela / Captures Maduro

    Is there a modern history of aggression from Venezuela to us ? Is there Venezulean crime being committed within our borders ? I don't see Japan and SK posing a threat to China beyond their alliance with us Neither do I see Venezuela posing a threat to us beyond its economic relationship with...

    Politics US strikes Venezuela / Captures Maduro

    You did not address his question. I think it was a fair question to address your concerns about Venezuela's relations with Russia and China. Would you be ok if China took Taiwan, and attacked Japan and South Korea because they constituted a threat to their national security?

    Politics US strikes Venezuela / Captures Maduro

    " I believe he intends to use the money generated from the oil to rebuild Ven's economy and achieve democracy through a prosperous Ven." Then at that point would Trump be ok with Ven reengaging with Russia and China to sell them its oil when it benefits its prosperous economy ?

    Politics US strikes Venezuela / Captures Maduro

    I would say the first part of your post constitutes an attack, but if Trump and Melania were taken into custody and tried in that country's courts, then I would have to say that country liberated America ;)
