Cal flies the Israeli flag above the American flag at his house.

And then there's this closeted homosexual once again banging the war drum. If you declare war on Iran, then not only will the Red Sea be shut down from trade from the bullshit going on in Israel/Gaza, but the Iranians would then embargo the Persian Gulf to trade. I guess it's not a bad move if your goal is to shut down the global economy and force WW3.

Why are we even there? 3 proxy wars now - Ukraine, Israel/Gaza, and Yemen/Red Sea. I cannot believe that we are sacrificing American lives so that Israel can genocide Gaza. Idiotic. Get our guys the fuck out of there.

Ken Dorsey. Really? If the goal is to shut up fans/media from calling for Stefanski to stop calling plays, then this is a 10/10 hire.

This has got to be the most bizarre EO I've ever seen (text below). If it's a retaliation against what Texas is doing on the border, then he's cutting off the nose to spite the face. After destruction of the nordstream pipeline, the EU has become very dependent on American LNG (see graph below). Germany's energy suppliers immediately responded with concerns that this EO may have severe negative economic and social impacts (last text below). Sure, this might hurt Texans' wallets, but this will absolutely FUCK Europeans. European energy suppliers ramped up production of LNG tankers last year to make up for lost energy from Russia - the tankers cost a quarter of a billion each! I never thought I'd see the day where the neoliberals in the EU break step with the Democrats here, but here we are. I would not be shocked if this is the event that pushes Germany to cozy up with Russia. It's absolutely insane how poor Biden's foreign policy is - he's alienating just about everyone.

Damn. Wish he'd have stayed. Would have loved to see Day get over the hump and beat Harbaugh.

Sorry JAFBF, I didn't realize there was another thread. Anyways, this seems like a really odd hill for Biden to die on during an election year. Even NYC is getting sick of the influx illegals.

25 governors, including Dewine, have signed a letter of support for Abbott's decision. Co-signatory governors' states shown in the image below.

Vacating a title is the dumbest punishment in the history of sports. We all watched the game and saw who won.

Bongbong Marcos has his hands full right now. I wonder if the PLAN makes a move on the Spratly Islands before Taiwan.

Maersk is again suspending operations in the Red Sea after two of its ships were attacked. Mass farmer protests in France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain against EU climate policies

The bit about Alaska being sold illegally is fake news. I would be quite concerned, however, if I happened to live in Ukraine, Georgia, or the Baltics.

And Democrats in Congress now calling for the federal government to assume control of the Texas National Guard.

The last chance for the DC establishment to guarantee that a war hawk will win the presidency in 2024*

Constitutional crisis incoming. Abbott's official statement below.

LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOO

As a somewhat neutral to the greatest rivalry in all of sports, I think it's safe to say that the rivalry is back. It fuckin sucked when Michigan wasn't good for a decade. Michigan fans with their fake apathy toward the rivalry was sad. I want to see petty insults and shit flinging like we are seeing in this thread. It should come down to the OSU Michigan game at the end of every season to see who gets a shot at the title. College football is better when both teams are good. It's the best soap opera on TV.

Glad Harbaugh could win it for the Big Ten in the last year it has any meaningful importance to the region. SEC can eat shit.

Germany and Canada are telling their citizens in Lebanon to leave immediately Hamas leaders got assassinated in a drone strike in Beirut, Lebanon In Iran, 100 people were killed by a bomb when they were attending a service at the grave of General Soleimani (the one Trump ordered killed after they messed with our embassy in Iraq)

I was rooting for Michigan. Fuck the SEC and their cumrag, the CFP committee, for putting Alabama in over FSU. They get what they deserve. Nothing. Oops, the whole FSU starting roster decided not to play. Sorry about the lost ad revenue, assholes.

Maersk resumes shipping via Suez after 48h pause, one of their ships predictably gets bombed by Houthis, and now they pause transit of the Red Sea indefinitely. Operation Prosperity Guardian doesn't seem to be reassuring most of the shippers that this lane is safe. Shipping via Red Sea has slowed to a trickle. most ships are now taking the long way around Africa - adding 2000 miles to the trip and increasing transit times by up to a week. This will likely be reflected by increased inflation over the next weeks to months. Sailors of the destroyer USS Carney have been awarded a combat ribbon by the US Navy. This suggests that Houthis were targeting the ships directly. This is at odds with recent Pentagon statements that USN vessels are not being targeted. Bloomberg reporting that Russian seaborne oil exports have ended the year on a high. More evidence that sanctions on Russia have not had the planned effect.

They didn't throw a single flag for a facemask or illegal hands to the face. We got away with one on a third down in the second quarter. Garrett was getting slapped in the helmet all game.

Amazing atmosphere at the stadium. Easily the loudest it's been since Garrett put a dent in Mason's forehead. I'm not sure I've seen the stadium that full 15 minutes prior to kickoff either. Good to see our run game come back to life. Flacco is elite.

This is going to be the first real good defense Flacco has played. Surely, they will have to double Cooper, which should open up everyone else and hopefully add something resembling a running game.

I feel in my plums that we've got this one
