Still cheaper than under Biden.

I would be more concerned with the propaganda that radicalizes what appears to be more or less normal people to become assassins. And, of course, this story is a fake. The secret service escorted both of them out. They even helped her get across the table. This story is mostly a sick Jon...

If Houston can shoot threes like that, the Lakers are in trouble. I don't think they can keep that up. Ayton was the only guy on the Lakers who played well. Smart was awful. Kennard was awful. Too many turnovers again and they couldn't hit the threes.

The Lakers motto is "if you are going to lose, then lose big." Everyone looked awful last night except for Ayton who has otherwise looked awful in this series. LeBron looked his age for once. The turnovers were brutal. OCK will beat them by 1000 points if they continue with that. Onward to LA.

He has tickets for Cancun. Hopefully the Rockets throw in the towel. The only hope for LA is to be rested against OKC. They do not want this to go five or more.

Very surreal to see RFK, Jr. being escorted from the scene of a potential political assassination at a hotel ballroom. His father was assassinated at a hotel in LA.

Imagine being such a headcase in a league of arrogant headcases that you can't get drafted. His height apparently didn't help. Curious to see if anyone signs him. He is a talented guy.

During a civil war. There was also very little or no presidential security in the 1860s. The current situation is completely different. The individuals committing these acts are otherwise normal people. They accept death or arrest as part of the calculation. They appear to have been...

It's unbelievable that the President of the United States can't go anywhere without some lunatic trying to assassinate him. The kind of reckless propaganda and anti-US sentiment that is expressed here and elsewhere is a direct contributor to this behavior. You have to own that if you are on...

You have implied that there is some better way to go about this. That there are "experts" who could better handle this situation. Who are they? That is a false premise. What this actually boils down to is politics. You dislike Trump. More than Iran. Anything he does will be subject to...

There will be a lot of media hype about the Lakers after they finish Houston. They will lose the first game to OCK by 30. The second by 20. And then it will be over quick. The Lakers will be lucky to win one game. LeBron has a tendency to quit when things go south. There was a critical...

What "strategy" would that be? They are fanatics. They can't be reasoned with. Which negotiators "know what they're doing"? Tell us who you think should negotiate with Iran? No one has done that in the last 50 years. Diplomacy has been a failure. Obama's deal - opposed even by Chuck...

The Iranians have been given 50 years and counting to get their act together. Trump has allowed them every opportunity to cut a deal that allows their country to prosper. They merely have to stop sponsoring terrorism and give up their nuclear program. Basically join modern civilization. No...

My biggest takeaway from this series is that Houston is not very good. Particularly with several players injured. If the Lakers have 20+ turnovers and get out rebounded by the OKC like this game, they will lose by 40+ points and get swept. Houston is also terrible in close games. 1-8 in OT...

The Iranians have the mess. China has the mess. Europe has the mess. The US is fine. We have plenty of oil. How is the situation worse than before? LOL. Iran's navy is at the bottom of the sea. Much of their offensive capability has been destroyed. Their nuclear program is in shambles...
