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

So you ARE SAYING disregard all ESTIMATES ?

FBI AND DHS ?

Just keeping you real.

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.

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.

Nope DHS article about the drop in murders, sorry.

Once AGAIN the same old posters that don't like some posts attack a poster if they don't like the original post.

Yet in about 20 + years or so that I have been on this site (has it been that long ?), back to when real Jeff was the administer and allowed me to post for free (until we thought it might be a violation).

I have never posted anything false or made up. Scouts Honor.

Hence why Isreal is listed as # 2 for LACK of fresh water.

Now they generate so much fresh water thru science that they sell it to Syria !

Ted Turner used to buy up tens of thousands of poor pasture that would no longer sustain pasture for beef cattle. He removed fencing from the interior of the pastures. Added buffalo and 30 years later had so many buffalo that he opened a national chain of buffalo restaurants and he had great pasture.

I don't agree with the conclusion drawn by Semi-elite. From your non-political posts, I believe you to be very smart. I know others that are very smart, but for some reason have completely bought into the MAGA cult, and I can't figure out why.

The thing about the left's incredible lunacy is they are following a populist game plan that could work. I saw an article today where the DSA is saying AOC is not left enough for them. If she now is a moderate, look out. Really scary how crazy some of them are and the left wing establishment just goes along. Chuck Schumer is toast after the midterms. Imagine when the Dems get control of congress and start the impeachment hearings and investigations. Iran has no reason to fear us after November 3.

Where is the evidence, Big Will?

The idea that 75% of murders are committed by the 5% of the population that is illegal is too insane for words.

PROVIDE US THE EVIDENCE. FROM ANYWHERE.

You make everything up. You either made it up (most likely) or you’re just really ******* dumb (also likely). Either way, the fact that you believe this **** is insane.

MAGA cultists and I have the hope that the real estate builder is more effective than long time Dems or Reps in governing America.

Thinking backwards I seem to recall an ex B movie actor was effective in foreign affairs.

You really need to calm down and try to enjoy your life.

I posted an estimate from an article that said that the DHS has determined what estimated percentage of murders are committed by illegals.

Just like your use of FBI pages of what you like to prove something, BUT wind up being just another ESTIMATE, not evidence.

You want evidence ? Read a Lincoln Lawyer novel.

Insanity is you getting yourself in a lather...responding to what you believe is insane. Continuing to post with cursing, when you know the site *'s them out.

I can recall when you got yourself all riled up about a story from my multi-faceted life and I told you to find something that you found to be fanciful to your life experiences and I would expound on any incident to prove the fact......you NEVER replied.
