So the Pentagon comes out and says they just found out we have double the amount of troops in Syria than they thought.
Good management going on it appears

Are we supposed to like take time getting back into a normal routine where you're not drinking by 2pm every day? Or just roll on through Sunday in a sustained debaucherous way on into the new week where you kicked in the penis.

Bored the last two days and stumbled upon this article -- I knew some of these; but had no idea Francis Ford Coppola directed the movie "Jack".

Just finished “Rolling Thunder”. Holy hell. Great movie. William Devane and Tommy Lee Jones.

Next two that I’ve been meaning to see for a while are “Sorcerer” and “Silent Partner”.

Real simple: Dolphins have to win today and the Broncos have to lose. Starting now on FOX.

Weather Report: Partly sunny with temps in the low 30s. No chance of precipitation. Wind out of the WNW at 8 mph.

Broke down each portal target I believe Iowa has a legitimate shot at or has been in conversations with during this cycle.

Eligibility remaining, if they've visit or when they plan to, how likely I believe a commitment is for each target, + more.

STORY:

Following President Biden's move to commute the sentences of 37 prisoners on federal death row, Sen. Joe Manchin, I-W.Va., called the clemency granted to two of the individuals "horribly misguided and insulting."

In the 37 cases, Biden commuted the sentences to life sentences without the potential for parole.

Manchin — a Democrat-turned-independent senator who will soon leave office — said he felt a responsibility to speak out on behalf of the parents of Samantha Burns, who was slain in 2002 at the age of 19, according to reports.

"After speaking to Samantha Burns’ parents, I believe it is my duty to speak on their behalf and say President Biden’s decision to commute the death sentences for the two men convicted in her brutal murder is horribly misguided and insulting," the lawmaker declared in a statement posted on X.

"Particularly since Samantha’s family wrote letters to President Biden & the Department of Justice, pleading for them not to do this, but their concerns were unheard. I can’t imagine the grief that Kandi and John Burns are reliving and dealing with during the holiday season," Manchin continued. "As their U.S. Senator and a father, I want to express my deepest sympathy for their continued suffering. Please know that Samantha will forever be in our prayers."
The two men connected with the young woman's death escaped lockup and went on a crime spree in 2002, according to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

"On November 4, 2002, cellmates Chadrick Fulks and Brandon Basham escaped from a county detention facility in Kentucky" and "unleashed a criminal rampage that lasted seventeen days and zigzagged across several states," according to the court, which noted that the men "admitted to killing Burns and pleaded guilty to carjacking resulting in death in the Southern District of West Virginia."

In a fiery Christmas Day post on Truth Social, President-elect Trump told the 37 individuals who escaped capital punishment to "GO TO HELL!"

In a statement about the commutations, President Biden said, "I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss."

But he also said that he was "more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level."

"These commutations are consistent with the moratorium my Administration has imposed on federal executions, in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder," Biden said.

He was left with Sam Darnold as the starting QB after he lost Kirk Cousins to free agency and JJ McCarthy to a season ending knee injury.

Those people are having a moment. That's a thing now. 2025? Year of the retard?

might now be my top pet peeve.

We get to our kids' Christmas program 30 minutes early. There are tons of open seats, but literally every section we tried to sit in with a decent view was being saved by family or friends for people who weren't even there yet. I asked four separate times if the people the seats are saved for were even there yet and got awkward 'well, no... but they're coming answers'. Fine if you're saving seats for someone going to the bathroom or something. Maybe my wife and I were being wusses by not just sitting down somewhere being saved; we wound up sitting on the side with a bad view. CSB

What are you guys getting?

For a while it was hot chicks in bikinis but lately it has gotten wild.

Chicks getting their armpits waxed
Chicks popping pimples
Horses and cows having their hoofs scraped
People power washing muddy rugs
Men getting full beards waxed
