In the news of "Gone but not forgotten !"

Tiger Woods is due before a Florida Judge on Sept 8 th, from his MV accident where Police charged him with DWI and various charges on March 27.

This entire kerfuffle could have been avoided if he had hired a driver March 26 Th or sooner........cheapskate !

Yes, another human caused fire, that got out of control because of dry conditions. I don’t think they said it was arson yet.

7.8 million acres burned so far this year, 168% of the 10 year average. Funny, you talked about small fires and Uncoach talked about how it was a below average fire year. As I’ve said, several of you guys seem unaware things are happening until it hits your backyard.

A current article has Iran at 70 % of potable water GAWN !

NOT from the air bombing, but politically connected industry.

Iran is rated the Fourth driest COUNTRY in the World !

Isreal is rated the SECOND driest COUNTRY in the World !

Thru desalinization plants the COUNTRY of Isreal has a surplus of potable WATER !

Murders....

DHS estimates 75 % of ALL murders committed in the USA are by Illegal immigrants.

Obumma deporting 3,000,000 and Trump 3,000,000 starts to add up for any reduction of criminal acts !

Big Will ... on no Earth are 75% of murders in the USA committed by illegal immigrants and there's zero chance that DHS believes this either. This is so obviously wrong it's kind of funny.

Btw there are studies on this kind of thing. Even if you are very generous and state that 5% of US residents are illegal (that would be 17M people illegally in the country), illegal immigrants committing a proportional share of homicides would mean that about 5% of homicides are committed by illegals.

The actual evidence from Texas in fact has illegal immigrants with a slightly lower homicide conviction rate than native born Americans.

Homicide Conviction Rate (per 100K people)

Native Born Americans - 2.8
Illegal Immigrants - 2.4
Legal Immigrants - 1.1

This would mean that illegals commit about 4.5% of US homicides yearly. So about 1 in 23 homicides or so. There are 13K homicides in the US yearly right now, I believe, so we are talking about 600-650 homicides committed by illegals

Your numbers are patently absurd! I don't think you got them directly from DHS, but from some RW nutjob online.

You can provide us all proof this estimate exists.

Big Will ... the estimate does not exist. DHS and the FBI never generated such an estimate. Either you misread or misheard this, or just made it up.

We will address the estimate should it exist, however it doesn't.

The fact that you seem to actually think 75% of murders are committed by illegals might be the most insane thing posted in these chains, and there's been some wild stuff.

Correct, in no way, shape, or form did the Trump or any other Administration take this position. It would get so obviously crushed by everyone, including much of the friendly press.

It's not exactly uncommon knowledge that illegal immigrant crime rates aren't really high, Venezuelan gangsters apparently excepted.

if you guys haven’t picked up on it yet, Big Will is ******* dumb.

Sad news. RIP, Dolly. Great entertainer. You can’t replace a legend like her, but I’m fairly certain Lainey Wilson will be the one people will look to filling her shoes.

Israel has no fresh water. They are a tiny country along salt water.

We have a ton of fresh water. We should continue to develop in areas with fresh water so we don’t HAVE to build expensive infrastructure in areas like California (hello corruption) to provide areas that constantly run at a net negative, when it comes to a basic need.

I think there are plenty of good arguments against Talarico. That said, very hard to argue he thus far hasn't been decent in his public life and his career arc certainly reflects a seriousness of purposes. Is he competent? Don't know.

I appreciate the policy arguments against him. They just don't outweigh the fact that I think Paxton is the most corrupt scumbag in a major public office in the US (we've gone over the myriad of problems), and as with many populists, I don't find his actual belief structure all that compelling to boot.

But as I told everyone months ago, nominate Kenny Paxton at your own peril. In a bad national environment like Trump has put the GOP in ... he has a real shot to lose. And him winning isn't much better, he will be an embarrassment for the national GOP.

It would be interesting if somehow the GOP bucks past midterm trends as the left(and its incredible lunacy) is not very popular.

You will vote more for a candidate that appears clean cut inspite of their lunatic policies that could hurt you. I don't understand it, but you have been quite clear.

Talarico was for the open border mess...well until he had someone redraft what he really means to win an election. At the very least, he is not an honest broker among other bad ideas he may get to vote for.
