Enis is a great guy. He played part of his career in OKC and was a fan favorite. I doubt he ever plays a minute in the WNBA but is pointing out their hypocrisy and will get them to change their rules.

I’m behind on this thread. After reading some of the posts from earlier this week this rendition of Caravaggio’s work seemed to fit well.

Just as clarification if you are talking about the Rwanda genocide, it was the Bahutu who attacked and killed the Watutsi. The Tutsi responded and gained control of the country but the genocide was committed by the Hutu on the Tutsi.

Congratulations on the hunt. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Fantastic father son safari. Great job making memories that will live long after you are gone. Congratulations!

I have seen a number of 300# or smaller animals (hartebeest/topi on down) with neat holes punched by a 300g .375 through the thorax with most of the tissue outside of the wound channel intact. I have also seen a number of animals in the same size range shot by a 60g 220 Swift. I can’t recall a...

I read the following many years ago but have not been able to verify it since so don’t know the veracity of this story. Jefferson Davis was asked after the war the most important thing that could have changed the outcome. Davis answered the death of Thomas Jackson and not realizing the true...

Kavanaugh was about to be Borked if not for a scathing five minute monologue from Graham that turned the Senate hearing 180*. I have never been a big Graham fan but those five minutes are how I will choose to remember him.

Erdogan gives the NATO members a .357 magnum after the NATO meeting. The European and Canadian contingent has no clue what to do with the revolver or if they can even bring it back to their home country. Staffers try to figure out the ramifications and legal hoops that need to be jumped...

Wonder how much money he is going to hold the Democrats up for to put his signature on the line. Should be a much better payday than selling fish to his moms cafe.

It looks like USMCA is on the way out as a trilateral agreement. Three bilateral agreements will probably end up as the replacement. Nothing will probably be happening immediately. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/01/trump-usmca-canada-mexico-trade-treaty.html

The run up was exciting! In December I made the comment the silver chart reminded me of 1979/1980. I don’t consider myself a metals bull. However I do think every portfolio should have a percentage of physical metals. My positions are still well in the black and I hold them for an...
