When looking at the AFC, there are quite a few question marks. There are 2 teams in my mind that are clearly at the top, that’s the AFC West Kansas City Chiefs and the AFC North Cincinnati Bengals. Both of these teams have been getting elite QB play from their starters. Mahomes is a proven winner, and although Burrow has played in almost half the amount of games Mahomes has, I think he’s on his way to being one as well. After those teams, I think it’s just a fight between everyone else.
I look at the Jaguars in the AFC South as a team on the rise. The Jags were a top 10 scoring team and just out of the top 10 in defense at #12. The Baltimore Ravens with a healthy Lamar Jackson will be a much more competitive team, and this organization is always is in the hunt, with an excellent, long tenured Head Coach in John Harbaugh. Our division rival NY Jets went for broke acquiring veteran QB Aaron Rodgers, and this year’s Hard Knocks participants have a “Super Bowl or Bust” mantra this year. The Chargers with strong armed QB Justin Herbert are always a dangerous offensive team with a healthy Austin Ekeler at RB. The Chargers defense took a step back last season, so they have work to do to be considered a SB contender. Our Dolphins of course made a lot of moves in the offseason and this past season as well, and are primed to be a contender as long as our QB is healthy.
The Denver Broncos are a team you have to expect to be a better team. Russell Wilson combined with new Head Coach Sean Payton sounds too good not to be. RB Javonte Williams turned out to be that nasty slasher RB we all expected but he went out early with a knee injury during game 4, so he should be ready to go. The Raiders let long time QB Derek Carr walk, and then picked up oft injured QB Jimmy Garoppolo. The Browns should have QB and massage girl nightmare DeShaun Watson playing a full season and they could be a tough team with a talented roster, led on defense by DE Myles Garrett and on offense by quality RB Nick Chubb. The Browns also added DT Dalvin Tomlinson from the Vikes.
The Tennessee Titans may be looking to make a QB change this season after drafting QB Will Levis. Our old friend Ryan Tannehill is getting a little long in the tooth and had a mediocre season last year playing in just 12 games. The Pittsburgh Steelers are banking on a big step up from their young QB Kenny Pickett. Pickett managed a winning record (7-5) despite throwing only 7 TD’s against 9 INT’s. The Steelers also picked up our former starting MLB Elandon Roberts as well as a few marginal pick ups as the Steelers notoriously don’t spend money in Free Agency. RB Najee Harris will look to have a bounce back season after a disappointing 2022 season. The Steelers last year sported a top 10 defense in points allowed (10th).
In the AFC East, the Bills could potentially take a step back, while our division rival Jets and our Dolphins move up. The Patriots were active in Free Agency, signing our own TE Mike Gesicki, WR Juju Smith-Schuster, S Jabril Peppers, T Riley Reiff and CB Jalen Mills. They also drafted one of the top DB’s in the ’23 NFL Draft, CB Christian Gonzalez. In fact, the Patriots first 3 picks were defense. The NY Jets added a trio of veteran WR’s in Free Agency to satisfy every whim that Aaron Rodgers requested, signing Allen Lazard, Mecole Hardman and Randall Cobb. The Jets also signed our last year’s punter, Thomas Morestead. I wouldn’t be surprised if 3 teams emerged as playoff teams from our own AFC East division, our Dolphins, the Bills and the Jets. Our division should be a tough one to win, you can’t count the Bills out with Josh Allen and the Jets should be considerably better on offense with Aaron Rodgers, and our defense should be much better with Vic Fangio and a healthier secondary, as well as growth from OLB Jaelan Phillips, a full season with Bradley Chubb, the addition of Jalen Ramsey, and the potential of our first draft pick CB Cam Smith, and the healthy return of S Brandon Jones.
The teams with a lot of work to do are the Indianapolis Colts, who drafted QB Anthony Richardson (RD1 Pick #4) and the Houston Texans, who also spent their 1st RD pick (#2) on a QB, C.J. Stroud. The Texans and Colts were at the bottom of the AFC at 3-13 and 4-12 respectively. Their rookie QB’s will have to shine bright to change the fortunes of both of those teams. I like the Bengals in the North, the Jaguars in the South, the Dolphins in the East, and the Chiefs in the West. I believe two of the three Wild Cards will be the Bills and Jets, with the Ravens taking the other WC spot. The Browns should be right there in the WC hunt and potentially more if everything goes right.

‘I meant to say monopolation, not depopulation, because when you think about mono, you can get sick. Monopolation is sick, like when you really feel bad… like really, really bad. Depopulation happens when people have mono, cause no one person can cure the population. And the population would agree that mono is bad, because, like, because of it happening in a population. Am I right?!!’ *CACKLES ERRATICALLY*
Yeah that’s about how it’d sound lol

Do you have an opinion on country music sensation Jason Aldean?
Well he doesn’t use foul language or scream!
So I can listen to it
His social views are the same as everyone else’s. Their own!!!!!!
Glad you posted this I’ve seen it but couldn’t post it here. Cool moment for Zach and his fam and in case y’all haven’t seen Zach will be the first one to speak on induction day.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.
Many of us were taught this as children.
Now it’s been watered down to everything hurts me. Boo fucking hoo!😂
I don’t trust anybody who doesn’t have a neck, even if they sing country music. Jason Aldean can take a hike.
Don’t listen to him. His detractors made his song even more popular. I’ve never listened to the song, just read the lyrics because of the outrage. Nothing to see here.
I can tell by the lyrics it’s a typical country song. Same chord progression with what they call cowboy chords. That’s their culture.
Here’s another culture.
Snyder is finally gone with sale of Washington approved unanimously….good riddance….lol
Is Ross next?🤔
Why do you say that? I don’t think Snyder and Ross compare, at all.
Be careful what you wish for
He’s paid out lots of cash to push the salary cap forward
It just goes to show you can’t go wrong buying an NFL franchise. The legacy he left does not warrant the profit.
And, what a profit it was…lol. I think I read it is the largest gross sale/purchase of any franchise in America. $6.05B!!!
As the next one tends to be, just like the next player signing, everything keeps going up
When a player gets that next highest deal he’s praised, when it’s an owner not so much
Lol….unless your a RB.
^you are
It’s Bidenflation!
Lots of people around here don’t like Ross in case you haven’t noticed. 😂
Well, he is an idiot…lol…and puts a bad face on the franchise, but he is NO Snyder. Not even on the same planet, imo….lol
I don’t know if any of you people here have taken a good look into Vivek Ramaswamy. I’d guess that you haven’t, but maybe you should. We know what Trump brings to the table, and I can just about guess what DeSantis brings too. Both of these guys are disappointing. Vivek runs circles around these guys as far as intelligence goes, and in my opinion, he’s hundreds of times more Presidential than either of the two. He’s a bright guy, with good ideas, and is much more moderate than either of the two guys ahead of him. My hope is when the debates occur, he will shine and knock the shit out of the two guys ahead of him.
I still think that a Trump vs Biden Presidential election is a huge embarrassment for our country, I can’t say any more than that.
I know nothing about Vivek, but I agree about Biden and Trump. I do hope that Biden has good health until January 2025. The thought of what happens if he doesn’t last until then is terrifying.
Shutting the barn door after the horses are out!
The hero is often portrayed as a monster and the monster as a hero
Biden is a monster even if he isn’t pulling his own strings
Herd – to me, Biden is just as terrifying as Kamala or any other candidate they can come up with.
Of course, because the candidate is only a face of the machine
Take Gavin, does anyone really think what he’s doing in CA is coming from him or is he doing what he’s been told to do?
At least he doesn’t actually say they told him what to say like Biden does
Wyo – not sure what you mean. I understand the expression, but not what in particular you’re applying it to
You don’t think we are already the laughing stock to the rest of the World?
I’m embarrassed every day when I see the news we show the world!
You don’t think uh dut dah is doing a good job
OK, this I can’t disagr5ee with at all. There is always hope of change though, and I hope people will wake up and make better choices when they get to the voting machines.
Maybe because Biden is already showing symptoms of senility? Too late to hope he keeps his health as he’s already starting to slip?
True, but if he’s gone, we have President Harris. 🤢
On the other hand, I don’t think either of them are running things.
Exactly, Obama is still running the show
They say it’s Susan Rice, but she’s from the Obama tree and the elites have lots of influence
They know how how to keep him in the basement, but it doesn’t matter, even if Kamala is pres, they’ll be pulling the strings for her too
I wonder how much profit he pulled out of that franchise over the last 24 years too!!??
He was fined $60 million for his skimming of the books but that’s not even a dent in what he made a year.
The link below shows the revenue, not the profit but even so just look at it.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/195304/revenue-of-the-washington-redskins-since-2006/
He’s the same kind of elite, that has lots of influence in DC, until he does something
His problem is what he did was against what they SAY they stand for, so he’s an embarrassment

—————————————————
I seem to remember “Hope and Change” was the start of all this BULLSHIT!
Perhaps a little earlier?
Fool won’t be fooled again
Not when the same machine is running it, just with a different face
Before Trump it didn’t matter which party was in the WH, they all had 1 common goal, to make as much money as possible in a corrupt way through kickbacks
What bidin is doing isn’t really any different, than what Hilllary was doing or many others in Congress
The problem is there are lines drawn, and the two sides are so far apart. The polarization is so extreme, someone more moderate is the answer. The problem is if Vivek Ramaswamy got elected, does he still have to tow the party line? I don’t know where his campaign funds come from, I know he’s very wealthy in his own right, but campaigns are very expensive
What is a moderate going to do?
Washington is so FN corrupt, what biden is doing is nothing compared to what’s really going on
A moderate might be presidential, but that’s not going to accomplish anything
Maybe a moderate can work with both sides, rather than have the status quo of having both parties just push thru their own agendas
They don’t want to be worked with, they just do what they’re told, so they can get their kickbacks
The problem is the Left leans to the left in primaries and the Right leans to the Right. Moderate has become a bad word for both sides.
The “opposition” has hijacked our language. “Liberal Ideals” used to be what the world strived for. They were the model of what the world should be, but the term “Liberal” has become an insult.
You put a Hammer and Sickle on one side and a Swastika on the other side you will still have parts of the “base” of each side lining up to support them.
Left out “But the majority of both sides reject those extremes”
And that’s the fault of the media, but they’re just clones of one party or the other
“The Media” are for profit enterprises. They have, especially the online platforms with the echo chamber algorithms, discovered that to maximize profits they need to tell you what you want to hear or you will change the channel.
“CAPITALISM”
Burn down the country, including our history, decrimalize, tell people what they want to hear, open the borders
Ever wonder what the real goal is?

Yeah right
especially if it’s possible that Rodgers will do the team a very unexpected favor and reduce the dollars he’s due to make.
Vivek Ramaswany is a colossal hack who has promised things he cannot possibly deliver as major staples to his campaign
He supports getting rid of birthplace citizenship
And he wants to raise voting age to 25 (with a few exceptions)
No matter what you feel on the rationale of these things, they are utterly ridiculous for a presidential candidate to campaign on bc they are both in the constitution (the 14th and the 26th amendments respectively)
He either doesn’t understand basic constitutional principles or is happy to sell people fools gold in hopes of gaining the support of enough people supporting him who don’t understand
Those aren’t moderate positions either…
Hack? LMAO! 25 is a great idea, maybe some of the liberal stink indoctrination and brainwashing from college could wash off by then.
Campaigning on things he can’t possibly deliver, so just a regular politician
Piggy – he’s more moderate than Trump or DeSantis. Trump was actually more Democrat than anything before he took office, but once he was in he followed the party line
You read one article and you come up with a strong opinion. I know 2 people that work for him. He’s far from a hack. He’s a very impressive young man, a stark contrast from the drek he’s up against
I didn’t read one article …lol
His positions in those two things are not a matter of opinion or debate – he’s public about those positions and it’s fools gold
Please give me a list of presidents that have successfully repealed amendments in the constitution
He’s my list
ZERO
The fact that he is campaigning to do it is a problem to anyone with any sense of what a president can actually do
Are people so desperate for alternatives that they want to run into the arms of some one who has no idea how anything works in this country
It’s nearly impossible to repeal constitutional amendments
Cetrianly a president can’t do it alone
So campaigning on it like it’s something no one ever thought of, which it’s not, is certifiable bullshit
That’s not really a great way for some one to start a political career
He doesn’t sound so moderate
So he’s Trump with morals?
Vivek is taking that weird turn that Desantis decided to take. I think I’m down to RFK Jr. as my only candidate of choice if I’m voting uniparty.
Steve – I haven’t seen all of his policies, but I haven’t seen anywhere that he’s towing the GOP stance against abortion. It’s possible I’ve missed it, but I hope I haven’t. I still don’t get that one, to me, that’s the one thing that could nail the GOP coffin shut if they keep that stance.
Mike
What is moderate about wanting to repeal two amendments in the constitution?
I really can’t stand the idea that some one campaigns on changing the rules bc they can’t win the 18-25 year old vote
Well, maybe if the Democrats stop paying that age group off, things can change, but it’s been a staple in the Dem playbook for a while now. Keep trying to give them that student loan forgiveness crap, and you’ll have them always.
Telling 7 years of Americans they can’t vote instead of actually representing their concerns is a heck of a way to be a representative society
Is the new moderate removing 7 years of voters ?
That’s literally having your thumb on the scale
And I think bribing them is worse than not letting not letting them vote at all, so there’s that.
Sooooo, anything new with the Dolphins?
✌️❤️🐬
One less in the AFCE! 🙂
I felt like when Javonte Williams was healthy, he took too many carries away from Javonte, who I think was the much better back at that time.
Schools out forever
Mike
Bribing is a very unfair way to describe representation
A person has a right to vote for policies they agree with
Republicans have as much ability to appeal to 18-25 years olds as Democrats
Instead of trying to appeal to 18-25 year olds, some one suggests changing the rules? I don’t think so – that’s just cheating
It’s not like democrats have very good ideas when it comes to these topics either
The things that might appeal to younger voters is wide open for any party as far as I can see and they should have a chance to be as involved in the process as any of us
But Some one who wants to eliminate votes is off the table as far as I am concerned
Most people who want to get behind a “moderate” do so in hopes of finding middle ground & compromise. If finding a moderate is important to you – how can you look to some one who wants more people not to have a voice? How is that possibly a middle ground or compromise?
I know people want to get behind some one who’s not trump or Biden but a lot of these other names popping up are just miserably bad and more exposure to them will
Probably make them look worse than the two traditional options we are probably gonna be stuck with
In this country, if I have any sense of pride, I will never respect any candidate who wants less people to vote . We have unique challengrd in the US with its size and its population, sometimes, actually a lot of the time, people are gonna disagree with one another
But that’s the vision at the end of the day, a diverse big country with many points of view that works together for common goals
Trust me, I would love to stop many of you from voting given our regular disagreements – but I know it’s wrong and I don’t float the idea around bc we disagree.
Besides – he’s actually pushing for the age to be 25. The age to vote was actually 21 before the 26th amendment. Going to 25 is pretty extreme. I just don’t know how anyone can look to that and call that moderate. Between repealing the constitution (which is extreme) eliminating votes and asking for an age that’s never been done before I’m just not sure how we can call that moderate
Thank you…

Piggy – I can agree the Democrats don’t really have any good ideas. For the life of me I can never understand why anyone would want to pay back kids for agreeing to a contract for their education. Some people learn a trade and don’t go to college, some people like my wife and myself paid for our children’s education. Should a plumber or an electrician or auto mechanic now be expected to pay for other people’s kids to go to college? I don’t expect to be paid back, why should students expect it? Honestly, the only fair way to handle this is to force the colleges to lower tuition and make the banks lower their interest rates for student loans if things are out of hand. Or, kids should find an alternative to paying ridiculous tuition prices. To me, this is nothing other than bribery to get their votes. Call it whatever you like, it reeks though
Of course you agree that democrats don’t have good ideas….lol
Come on dude – advocating that a group of people shouldn’t vote bc you don’t like their position is brazen cheating
None of your personal experiences or my personal experiences matter. That never becomes a basis to say some one can’t vote with what they think is right
I don’t want to debate student debt relief. I appreciate we have different feelings on that (kind of – I’ll explain the caveat at the bottom)
eliminating 7 years of Americans bc they disagree with you, or you think they will disagree, is just wrong
If some one needs to eliminate voters to have a chance – they don’t have a chance
Would you bet on a horse whose jockey kept asking for a head start?
By the way I agree that thee burden to fix the debt crisis should fall on the banks and the universities rather than the taxpayer and democrats aren’t proposing legislation like that or taking up that fight – that’s a perfect void for a Republican with ideas to fill but we do we get instead – stop em from voting….wtf
Also this issue is more than a decade old – millennials well into their 30s and 40s favor what democrats do on this issue (and I think the reason is there’s not an alternative proposed
I think you are forgetting how old we are….lol
We are a few generations removed from it affecting us
Also, to address Vivek’s desire to change the voting age, it’s something he believes, but everyone knows it’s not viable. Then again, I never expected Roe v Wade to get overturned, so . . . He’s a very intelligent guy, I’m sure he can answer why he feels so strongly about that, perhaps we’ll get that chance in the debates. I really hope he shines in the debates. I also think moderate was a poor choice. Maybe I should have said he’s not deranged or unqualified like the other candidates. lol
18 is great especially when your kids live at home. It’s easy coercion- vote for whoever you want but only one lets you remain rent free lol
And I’m taking them to the voting booth and checking it too
I believe Vivek has said (regarding voting age) as much but it’s more like a one off it’s not something very prevalent in his campaign and I’ve heard him interviewed I’d say more than a dozen times. As Mike said it’s not viable nor probable nor necessary even. Despite how fucking stupid most 18-20 year olds are.
It’s not viable bc it’s in the constitution
Why is he running on stuff he know and admits he can’t do?
Guys – it’s on his freaking website
https://www.vivek2024.com/
This isn’t a minor issue to him, it’s one of his central policies , he calls it “Civic Duty Voting”.
He only has a few categories listed on his website and that’s one of them
Want to hear something really shitty
That’s also on his site
You can still donate to his campaign if you are 18…what an asshole …
There are exceptions for the voting age (In Vivek’s plan) if you’re in the military, they know you’re not liberally indoctrinated d-bag, so you can vote. lol
The right to vote is something Americans are born with
Not something some one decides some one is worthy of
What’s next – I have to dress like this at the voting booth
There are very few less American things than some one forcing Americans to prove that they’ve done enough to vote
And who the fuck is this guy to set those standards
He’s a career venture capitalist
When did he ever do any civic duty?
Well, there is no perfect candidate.
Let’s bash this candidate or that candidate for this stance or that stance. Like there are so many better options.
You could vote for dis guy . .
Right
Let’s all be silent about our opinions
No, let it rip, I’m enjoying it. Mushmouth and the Hyena for 4 more years! Yeah baby! Between the two of them they couldn’t run a sandbox, let alone a country.
Or dis guy . .
REN new release. You can hear the Bob Marley influence on kind of an early 90’s beat. Going at some haters.
Kind of catchy
Piggy – Don’t let me forget the Democratic party is also more than happy to have illegal immigrants cross the border in great numbers to get their votes as well. But yeah, keep biatching about voting rights. It’s amusing me actually.
How exactly does that work?
Please explain the process to me. I would love to know that you really understood the way immigration works, how some one becomes a citizen and how it can possibly affect the ability to vote within a reasonable time to actually be counted as a vote?
How many years does it take to go from crossing the border to voting legally? I would really like to know you thought this through before suggesting something some incredibly absurd
God forbid you talk about presenting ID to vote and the Dems bristle like porcupines. Why is that? You need ID, 8 points worth to get a drivers license, why shouldn’t you at least have some form of picture ID, either a drivers license or passport to vote?
LOL, MikeE. Wonderful, just wonderful!
Holy shit man! Wife and I are cutting way back on our sodium intake. She is out of town this week so I got me some Zatarains Red Beans and Rice to cook up. I couldn’t eat it. I had to cook up a bag of instant white rice to mix in and mellow it out.
I couldn’t tell you exactly how it works that illegals vote, but again, if no one is checking ID, they can be voting as anyone, am I wrong?
I know you can’t tell me
Yes you are wrong
Don’t you vote? What did you have to do on NJ to register to vote
I’m pretty sure Nj required a social security number to register to begin with
Ok, I voted, and not one person asked me for ID. As long as we’re on the topic, let’s discuss this fully. I went in, gave my name, and voted. No way anyone there knows whether I was really me or not. On the other hand, when I voted for President by ballot during COVID, my vote for Trump was the only vote bounced back, they said my signature didn’t match when I’ve had the same signature since I’m 18. My wife signed my son’s name because he was in Hoboken but his Biden vote went through. No problem with matching signatures there. LOL
If you’re trying to convince me it’s all fair, forget it pal.
Mike
You asked how people felt about a candidate and I responded
I didn’t fly Biden flags across the blog
I don’t attack you personally
I spoke about things he specifically says he wants from his website, not some article
Not some video
Form the horses mouth
And the best that you can say about his policies is he’s not really serious about them or that you think I heard it from some article
I didn’t say he’s not serious, I said it’s not happening. I said he probably believes it to be right, but there’s no chance he can get that accomplished. I also didn’t ask for anyone’s opinion, you can go back and read it. I just said I don’t know if you guys have looked into him. I’m fine with you saying whatever you want to say. Sometimes, candidates just want to distinguish themselves from other candidates, having outside the box ideas doesn’t hurt in that regard. Frankly, I’m shocked the Democratic party wouldn’t want a primary to have some competition for Joe who is clearly past the point of being capable to do the job. I look forward to seeing Vivek in the debates, although I’m also realistic enough to understand he has a monumental mountain to climb to get past Trump and DeSantis.
Unfortunately this country is so fucked up right now I don’t think it matters who the president is. Half the people will hate them anyway based on their party.
Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s a Good Friday nights tunes suggestion for you guys
Songs that talk about places that songwriter loves
Without bashing another place
I personally find that true passion in music I love doesn’t emanate from talks about some other place
I’ll post some examples
Didn’t Gavin Newsom sign into law last year a bill that will provide millions of illegals with valid California ID’s? Yes, he did.
Illegals had already been able to get restricted drivers licenses in California for years.
Guess that was not enough voters hence the new law.
Thata not giving illegals the right to vote
That’s providing ID
are you gonna make an argument that a library card is tantamount to the right to vote too
It’s kind of important to know who is in your country
What you said doesn’t even make sense
But if you want to see it yourself
Try to register to vote in CA with just an ID
Here’s a link for you
https://registertovote.ca.gov/
NY has the same law, but illegals can only vote in local and state elections. Still, that’s a good way to stay in Congress for another 40 years. It’s only a matter of time before they can vote in Presidential elections too. Maybe Vivek will change that after only those over 25 can vote. lol
Did you know that sitting on the dock of the bay is about San Francisco or at least refers to it
I can whistle the beginning of this song flawlessly . . .
https://www.npr.org/2021/12/15/1064385999/new-york-city-will-allow-legal-non-citizens-to-vote-in-local-elections
“Local”
Yes, but that’s how it starts. Get them voting, and the next thing you know, it’ll be in the Presidential elections as well. Truly, why should they be voting at all?
Also – fyi Mike
That’s legal residents, not illegal citizens
The us is exactly my point above
There’s a process between residency and citizenship
If you are ever curious about these things – there’s a source for you on the websites of the us govt about what it takes to become a citizen
It takes 3-5 years of legal residency by the way
NY making residents eligible to vote in election is making people legally here eligible to vote pending eligibility to become a citizen in local elections
It has nothing to do with crossing the border
You do not become a legal resident after crossing the border
You can apply for asylum
And if asylum is granted, you become a resident
Then you still have to establish residency for the same
Period to become a citizen
Since it’s gonna take a year to at an asylum hearing
And 5 years after words to legally vote
It’s a little hard for current federal politicians to rely on that vote for anything
Here’s another classic about a location
Some of you may say, well the writer does bash somenone else
The writer bashes Neil Young
But notice they don’t attack where Neil Young so from
I’ll play! 😂
Mike
Legal residents are assigned a tax ID number in place of a social security number the same way a corporation is assigned a tax is number
The Body of the article you linked explains they are legal residents
They have been granted legal residency
These are generally people that on work visas, or spouses of citizens or asylum winners that don’t have residency of 3-5 years yet
They pay taxes, pay into social security and contribute to state infrastructure
And federal infrastructure – actually
Why shouldn’t they vote for local politicians that shape policies that affect them?
That law by the way ia very controversial – I think it’s one of a kind –
Not sure if other states allow it
But it’s 800k NYers not quite the dynamic necessary to affect federal office but it doesn’t matter anyway – they don’t get the same ballot as I get when they vote
I hate the song but it’s another example
I saw them perform this live about a decade ago
Maybe even longer than a decade ago

I don’t know if any of you people here have taken a good look into Vivek Ramaswamy. I’d guess that you haven’t, but maybe you should…
—————-
I’ve been looking into Vivek ever since he announced… and I REALLY like him. He’s sharp as a tack, he’s very charismatic, his values match mine, and he’s another ‘outsider’.
We probably agree on all of the above, but we won’t agree when I say he’d be the perfect VP pick for Trump. 😉

Exactly, Obama is still running the show
They say it’s Susan Rice, but she’s from the Obama tree and the elites have lots of influence

FUCK Fox News…
The former VP candidate to RINO and GLOBALIST Mitt Romney in the ’16 election sits on the board at Fox News… his name is Paul Ryan.
Between Ryan and the Murdoch family (Rupert’s kids are liberal as hell), Fox News is going to hell in a handbasket.

Toto
Thanks Dr Johnny Fever
I think Son already ruled this one out
Is this even about Africa?
No. I think she squirts 🤷♂️
He’s seen the rains down in Africa…ain’t about Iceland
In 2015, Paich explained the song is about a man’s love of a continent, Africa, rather than just a personal romance. In 2018, Paich explained the song is about a person flying in to meet a lonely missionary. As a child, Paich attended a Catholic school. Several of the teachers had done missionary work in Africa, and this became the inspiration behind the line “I bless the rains down in Africa.” (Wikipedia)
Technically rain comes from the clouds in the sky
