    Controversy as Hegseth contrasts the D-Day invasion with illegal immigration into Europe.

    Hegseth was speaking in Normandy 82 years after allied forces stormed French beaches to liberate Nazi-occupied Europe in 1944.

    "Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies," Hegseth said. "Beaches in Spain, in Italy, in Greece and Bulgaria. Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion?"

    There's no denying it, these Iranians can play football. If they ended up in the final, would it trigger the coronary that the world is waiting for?

    It would be good if they play america especially after america's surrender, to that brural regime.

    Wonder will the crime family pick up a piece of the 300billion payout and its not even a peace deal.

    O Obama paid out 1.7b and that was individual iranians cash the 300b is tax payers money + US assets including the carrier no1 is allowed mention republican deficit is a constant upward trend.

    They should remove medical care for the poor they likely voted for this or if they didn't vote at all its the same.

    Its very hard to spin this as a victory. JD Vance was asked on CBS about Iran's claims they will get access to $300bn or $24bn and the answer was along the lines of it being something they might have access to in the future or something. What does that mean?

    Also yesterday Iran was talking about charging "fees" (rather than tolls this time) for using the Hormuz strait. If the outcome of this war is that Iran still controls the Hormuz Strait then there are obvious parallels with Anthony Eden and the Suez Crisis.

    Well, it wouldn't be the first time he organized violence on government property for his own agenda (Jan 6th)

    If I won the world cup and had to have Donald 'Oompa Looma' Trump be there while I lift the trophy then I think I might just prefer to lose.

    The state of this, $12k for a coin with (currently) $4.3k worth of gold in it, and his mug on one side. I doubt any of the profits of this will go back to the mint/treasury?

    Suckers, there really must be one born every minute.

    The Trump administration has announced they'll need to spend an estimated $1 billion to combat the New World Screwworm.

    What amazes about the bare knuckle fighting is I thought that it was banned,

    and now in the last few years it's everywhere.

    the core issue is not the actual event itself BUT BUT it was the context within which was held. Sob, IMO, the following are the relevant aspects re context

    (1) Location , who owns it, the appropriate use of it

    (2) Reason for holding it there

    (3) The impression it gave re another example of the POWER of America while a significant number of the population are struggling to make ends meet

    (4) The norm in any country is in times of an economic downturn, at war, it being in such a ‘bad’ position after ALL aspects of the US being run into the ground by O Bama and Biden - ask Trump- that such a country would show RESTRAINT in it’s actions. Not so in the US with Trump in charge

    (5) The timing of such a ‘LOUD BRASH’. The US is at war in an actual war context as well as in an economic context eg its tarriff wars. It’s also in the ‘middle ‘ of stopping wars and seriously thinking of starting - not wars - skirmishes and - as Putin would say- SMOs and generally threatening a number of some sovereign states.

    Oh, I almost forgot the real reason for the brash, silly me. It had 50% - or thereabouts- with deflecting from the Epstein files and the balance with ‘Flooding the Zone’

    Wild how Zelensky was torn apart for not wearing a suit in the whitehouse, but you can have a circus on the lawn and it’s “iconic”.

    I don’t even know if it’s double standards or just a new level of ignorance.

    This is what I mean. You cannot disappear up Trump's rectum and honestly expect us to believe that you would support Ukraine, since your allegiance to Dear Leader, and by extension Putin, would automatically preclude you from doing so

    So you're either trolling here or in the Ukraine thread.

    They can exercise free speech but what they say is a reflection on the sport. So if your top competitors are racist, homophobic, transphobic or whatever else bigotry then that reflects on the sports. Call it exercising their free speech but it looks like an issue of unsportsmanlike scumbags. And that Michelle Obama remark is what everyone is aware of out of this…

    It’s cowardice. They just refuse to admit the obvious and try to gaslight us with “I’ve always said XYZ” against some random Trump policy, but then lavish praise on him for an event.

    Pathetic stuff.

    UFC is a sport for people too stupid to recognize that Fight Club was satire and not aspirational.

    From the great prophet himself [via Truth Social] so we know it's the truth….

    "This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region. Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. I ended another war. I definitely should get the Nobel Peace Prize".

    May his audience be limited…

    There's always been this weird homoerotic undercurrent to MAGA, from AI slop of Trump as some kind of pseudo-muscular deity to this spectacle of watching nearly naked men grapple with each other in front of the White House.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
