I can believe that the boats in the Caribbean were drug boats and that they knew who was on board.

Our military is actually very good.

But I can also believe that it's all very illegal because

1) We're not at war
2) they don't have authorization from Congress
3) they're not directly threatening

I honestly don't care if Rivers goes out and throws for 350 yards and 4 TDs. If they start him, I'm done with the Colts until Steichen is gone.

JT is the team MVP. If Riley Leonard can't run an offense focused around JT, then Steichen and Ballard don't need to be in the building.

I get confused every day by this administration.

I thought the GOP was all about state's rights. Why aren't the GOP governorsv decrying Federal overreach by the Executive?

The problem the current administration has is that they are untrustworthy.

So, it's likely that this tanker was violating sanctions and we had a case to seize it. But how can we trust anything relating to Venezuela when they are also just killing people?

I'm a Hoosier. Through and through. Born and raised there. Went to college there.

Like State Sen. Goode, I'm a Christian. I'm an American. I'm a Conservative. I'm not a Republican, though, because I don't recognize this party.

But the State Senate made me proud of Indiana again yesterday.

I'm active duty and health insurance isn't something I've had to worry about.

But I'm close to retirement so I've started looking at it.

And it terrifies me.

It looks like I'd be paying $600 a month for me and my family if I went off of Tricare. $7200 a year just for premiums.

I'm hoping the Colts are just bringing in Philip Rivers to help guide a young Riley Leonard while Daniel Jones is unavailable and that Riley Leonard will be the one playing.

Because if Philip Rivers goes out as the starter and Ms. Irsay doesn't immediately fire Steichen, they're unserious.

I would like to announce that I will no longer serve as the US Attorney for the District of Maryland. It has created too much of a distraction so I am officially stepping down.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

And this is why Stephen A. Smith has no business near politics.

Sen. Kelly told service members to do what they're told to do when they join and what their oath demands. Only enlisted swear to follow the orders of the CiC.

People need to stop talking about Smith.

To say he was "unvetted" would imply that the CIA didn't vet him before working with him and putting their agents at risk.

It also says that, when the Trump administration granted him asylum in April, they didn't vet him.

A 50-year mortgage won't make homes more affordable.

It will put more money into the hands of bankers and will dramatically raise home prices.

If I can pay $2k a month at 30 yrs, I could afford a house worth about $160k more.

I won't get a better house. I'll get the same house at a worse price.

I didn't realize that's how ceasefire worked. I mean, as children, it was: "Time out, time out!" Then they'd immediately attack.

So Israel says: ceasefire off so they can attack but now it's back on because they're done.

Convenient.

Steichen is a bum. I'm sorry. I know the Colts are winning. But it's in spite of him.

Taylor had 11 carries yesterday plus an 80 yard TD.

They threw 31 times. 31 passes 12 carries for JT. 12.8 ypc. 9.4 ypa.

And they threw almost 3 times more.

This is why they ultimately lose each year

How about, instead of filibuster reform, they work on reforming the budget process.

Pass a law that says, in the event of no budget being passed, a CR will automatically be enacted at previous years spending levels that will continue for the full year or until a budget is passed.
