It's creating so much mood and atmosphere and story from practically nothing.
There's almost zero detail if you look close but when you take it in as a whole, bam!!! it's there.

Israeli reporter Doron Kadosh reports that 5 Israeli soldiers were killed and 14 injured in a Hamas ambush in northern Gaza overnight. He says two IEDs were remotely detonated by Hamas and then Hamas fired on the Israeli rescue forces. He also says several attacks like this have been carried out by Hamas in recent weeks.

Their biggest fuck up is that they shot an actual cop in the neck. (amazing that they didn't kill him) That is going to get every one of them long sentences.
(Although there is one thing Texas prosecutors love to do - if one of them will flip and give States Evidence on all the others, he'll probably only get 2 years while the rest get 15 years to life)

Absolutely. A slip makes boating exponentially more enjoyable. Drive up, park, 5 minutes later you’re off. With a slip you also don’t feel like you need to get “your moneys worth” and be out all day long. It’s a PIA to launch so you feel like you need to make the most of it.
With a slip, I’ll go out for an hour sometimes after work. Just put put around jump in to swim for a bit and come back. But if it takes an hour to launch and an hour to take out, bring back to storage, etc, you’re not going to do that.
It ain’t cheap though. Around here it’s hard to even find one. And when they do become available you pay through the nose for one. Supply and demand at its core.

I took a lot of heat for saying that I didn't think Trump would deport the 30-50M illegals now in the country. Right on time, there are rumors that Trump is considering an amnesty. I'd like to say I don't believe a word of it, but I think it's possible. Perhaps I'll only set my beard on fire for now.

On this topic, a post I made on X because this has always struck me as the biggest mistake the IDF keeps making in Gaza:
"From the news story about this: “The IDF has operated in Beit Hanoun numerous times since the start of the war, capturing the town but withdrawing each time after several weeks.”
Is anyone there starting to realize why you should never give up territory once you’ve taken it? The IDF is purposely fighting a forever war - taking a place and leaving, taking a place and leaving. There’s no strategy; this is idiotic. Fight to win or quit."

Then Trump should know better than to say things like this (if he did):
According to Kirk:
President Donald Trump was talking about potentially doing a bipartisan compromise deal for illegals that have stolen Social Security numbers, that are illegally domiciling themselves here in the country, that are all felons. Every single one of them are felons. They're just not yet indicted felons, but if they're here illegally, you're a felon. It's against federal law. We've gone through all the different federal laws that you break by being here. And this is President Donald Trump speaking at the Iowa rally, saying that we might need to do some form, he didn't use the word amnesty, but some form of soft amnesty. And I could tell you now through other reporting that I've been able to do and phone calls, there is a major push right now to do a bipartisan amnesty deal, a major push.

It’s not in a vacuum though. Trump said he didn’t want to hurt the farmers and hotel owners by deporting their employees.
Does that mean he’ll amnesty 30 million? No but the idea that he’s open to some kind of deal that allows many illegals to stay, isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

President Donald Trump was talking about potentially doing a bipartisan compromise deal for illegals that have stolen Social Security numbers, that are illegally domiciling themselves here in the country, that are all felons. Every single one of them are felons. They're just not yet indicted felons, but if they're here illegally, you're a felon. It's against federal law. We've gone through all the different federal laws that you break by being here. And this is President Donald Trump speaking at the Iowa rally, saying that we might need to do some form, he didn't use the word amnesty, but some form of soft amnesty. And I could tell you now through other reporting that I've been able to do and phone calls, there is a major push right now to do a bipartisan amnesty deal, a major push.

And Homan keeps coming out saying, "Nah, bruh."
At worst, ICE is going to deprioritize workforce raids on ag sites.
Miller, Noem, and Homan run the day to day operations of deportation. Trump promised an EO to stop ag operations, and he never signed it.
Watch what he does, not what he says.

Where I grew up in SW Michigan, there were a lot of big fruit and vegetable growers. Every spring and summer, large numbers of Mexican migrant workers would come up to pick the stuff. They were all legal, with work permits for the season, and they'd bring their families. But when picking season was over, they'd take their wages and go back to Mexico.
What happened to that perfectly reasonable system?

And of course there will be all sorts of fraud to create documents showing every illegal in the country arrived in 1994. Even ones who are 22 years old.

Yes. 30 million can be deported.
Especially when you count self-deportation which accounts for 4x the amount of people who've left over forced deportations in the first four months of Trump's second term.
Homan said that 200,000 people were deported, and census/BLS numbers indicated 1,000,000 people left.

Just looking around my neck of the woods, I don’t see any less illegals than a year ago. Every construction site is illegals. Every roof being replaced is an army of Guatemalans. The same amount to Spanish is heard Walmart. None of these people seem especially afraid of being deported either, since they’re not exactly hiding.
And I live in a red area where police cooperates with ice.
So unless somehow ice forgot our city exists, I just don’t buy that 1M figure.

Job hiring records tend to support your case TJM. Foreign born hires down month after month, native born up since Trump reentered the White House.
But, my guess it will be lumpy on where illegals stay versus where they go.

Both. I currently use a credit union for savings and Bank of America (yeah, whatever, I like their bill pay system) but neither pays shit for interest. It's not like I'm planning on keeping a ton of money in either place but it bothers me to let them make money off my money without giving me a share.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at July 08, 2025 10:50 AM (ExV1e)
I have used a few different online-only banks over the years. Much better rates vs big banks, and even better than credit unions. Just be sure you are fully aware of rules/limits/fees on transferring funds. You want to be sure you can liquidate as easily as possible if/when necessary.
Your comment about not keeping a ton of money in there is smart. Use the online bank as a secondary account for interest earning purposes. The more fee-free transferring in/out you can do, the better.
Hope that helps.

Because it is a habit no less than smoking cigarettes, drinking, etc. For some people, consuming the mass media is what they have done all their life and they are not going to stop doing that now.
Far better to ignore most of the news of the day and wait to see what actions have occurred, not what was said by politicians or by 'sources'.

There's some musical genre that originated in Texas that combines Mexican and German music, because of all the Krauts that settled there.

Makes it harder for the ones who self deport to sneak back across the border, though. Plus, at some point, the person in the White House will be someone other than a border hawk. It's not just a here and now thing. The wall also help guard against a changing of the White House guard.

My Dad was starting to have falls and dizziness more frequently, and they told him not only to stop taking the daily 81mg aspirin, but they also stopped his blood pressure meds (telmisartan and chlorthalidone), as his blood pressure was too low instead of still being too high. He's been doing fine ever since.

True. As I said, a wall is fantastic, but without the will to deport 30-50M people, it doesn't really solve the problem.

Thanks. I will check my mom's lists but I don't think she takes any of those drugs anymore.
My deceased FIL, before he died, was having falls due to positional changes in his bp. When he stood up, his bp fell versus seated or laying down.
