The facts speak for themselves. The US spends trillions on defense while many other countries who face real or imagined threats from Russia or China spend almost nothing. They don't feel the need to fund a military because they know the US will defend them. It is not the fault of the US that...

Our media no longer considers its job to be reporting the news. They want to influence opinion and advocate for certain outcomes. So everything is politicized in the press. That is why we get the COVID and gas tickers when Trump is president but they disappear when Biden is president. And on...

Between political corruption and military spending, we are doomed. They are requesting $1.5 trillion in military spending next year. Unreal. Trump should be reducing military spending by cutting off our "allies." Good luck to them. Instead we are increasing our enormous spending which...

I'm glad no one claimed his conduct was the product of racism. Sometimes being a classless idiot is just that and nothing more. He got his butt kicked.

Reaves is now out for the rest of the season. Turn out the lights, the party is over.

That would have been great. He was acting like a real alphahotel. Everything he complained about was untrue. He cried about one of his players getting their jersey ripped when she was clearly not fouled and tore her own jersey. He was totally unhinged. I guess when you go 38-0 and get your...

Yes, I'm surprised these types do not volunteer to go to Iran and talk reason with them. Imagine the "No Kings" types protesting in Iran: "According to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (Hrana), at least 7,000 people were killed in the January crackdown, including 6,488...

The UConn women's coach appeared totally unhinged last night. He was a true bad sport about that lose. They got their butts kicked by a better team.

The Iranians are "reasonable"? LOL. Tell that to the people murdered and raped on Oct. 7. Tell it to the thousands of their own citizens who they have just murdered. Tell it to the 19-year-old kid they just hung. There is no negotiating with them. Things would not have reached this point...

The Dodgers pounded the hapless Nats today in their home opener after going down 3-0. Ohtani finally went Ohbomby dropping a 400+ ft three run moon shot. His first of the season.

Those 80s Laker teams were as good as it gets. Even the Kobe Lakers didn't measure up to them. Coop, McAdoo, Rambis, Worthy. A great run. And they had to play a lot of great teams. Bird and the Celts. Thomas and the Pistons. Dr. J and the Sixers. That was the greatest era in NBA history.

That's brutal. Hopefully he is back for the playoffs, but with or without him the Lakers are doomed. It's a middling team that plays no defense and has no heart.

Again, what do you think should be done? Iran was developing a nuclear weapon. They expressed a desire to destroy the US and Israel. US presidents have tried for 50 years to negotiate with Iran. Nothing has deterred them from a policy of terrorism. Instead of just opposing Trump and citing...

There is literally no winning with those types. Their current narrative is that this conflict is not justified. But if Trump decides to pull the plug, as they apparently want him to do, the tune will change to his having capitulated to Iran. He will be the TACO. And on and on it goes.

That's right, but if there is a conflict in Europe, the US would not just rely upon the portion of the defense budget dedicated to NATO but whatever resources were necessary. That involves the resources of the entire US military. It is total defense spending which is important. It also...

That was humbling. If you are going to lose, you might as well lose big. Maybe getting blown out lights a fire under them. I'm trying to be optimistic. LOL. I've been surprised the Lakers have been playing as well as they have. Absent Luka, I doubt they would even sniff the playoffs with...

Mike- It is simply a fact that the US provides the vast majority of spending to defend Europe. Directly to NATO or indirectly with our vast military budget. Who we are defending them from is unclear. The Russian boogeyman was used for decades to justify the spending but the conflict in...

These are the options for resolution: 1) Iran decides to abide by the rules of civilization which includes renouncing terrorism and abandoning its nuclear program. They can live in prosperity with their oil revenues, and everyone benefits. Not a very high bar but likely not obtainable with...

I was thinking about going to a Dodgers game this weekend in DC but the ticket prices in the upper deck are over $200. Unreal. I can stay home and watch on TV for free saving myself the grief of DC traffic and possible carjacking. All the more amazing because on the very few occasions that...

The Lakers were completely demolished by OKC last night. One of the most brutal beatdowns that I can remember. It was like men against boys. Outmatched. Hopeless. And Luka was injured. Brutal. OKC looks unbeatable. I don't know a single player on their team, though.
