The key to Sirianni’s success: hammocks!!!!

#Eagles fans need to chill.

Of the ten teams with toughest schedules, the Birds are the only team with seven wins.

They've faced six of the NFL’s best defenses: DEN, KC, LAR, MIN, GB, and TB.

They’ve played only one bad game all season (NYG).

Why were GOP voters in CNY unhappy?

And this is what the GOP canvasser found in REPUBLICAN neighborhoods!

More than you think, but only because they aren’t eligible yet.

Take Asians. On average, they now earn much more than whites. Are we surprised they mostly vote Democratic? Does it signify that the Dems have become an upper-class party?

If Gen-X meatheads are capable of any kind of any kind of meaningful contrition or redemption, then Peacemaker Season 2 shows the way. I mostly loved it.

It‘s transformational in that it will transform the next generation into the people from Wall-E.

What other explanations could there be? It isn’t like circumcision correlates with any other variables, such as ethnicity, education, and income! It’s gotta be the Tylenol!!!

Since you were once an engineer, I’ll mention a toy they sold that I played with endlessly. It was called the “160 in One.” And it was a big board with resisters, rheostats, and capacitors you could connect with wires. And they gave you directions for making various circuits.

Lubchenko learned NOTHING! NOTHING!!!!

And because so many journalists were political science, lit, and history majors, they fail to understand that most of the professors teach business, economics, STEM, and psychology.
September 27, 2025 at 7:59 PM
But seriously, the problem with such generalizations is that the overwhelming majority of faculty and students work in fields like economics, finance, biology, engineering, and psychology.

I wish the press understood that the conspiracy theory about universities corrupting youth is old. It was old when Reagan attacked Berkeley in 1967.

Cmon, Kyle Shanahan isn’t any less douchey looking, and he gets 10% of the hate Sirianni does.

Given Homan’s long career on the border, I‘m guessing this wasn’t the first time he saw a giant bag of cash.

The arbitrary power of immigration and customs officials has always bred corruption. Cartoon from 1885.

It’s like Reggie from Richie Rich comics grew up and became president.

If they want to abridge rights to stop murders, wouldn’t it make sense to go after the Second Amendment rather than the First?
