Well of course Pratt was eliminated. No one should expect the DemonRat machine to take any chances with all the cash cows at stake.

The Russian military command is reportedly withdrawing forces from the Kinburn Spit in Mykolaiv Oblast as Ukraine’s intermediate-range strike campaign against Russian supply lines in occupied Ukraine is rendering defenses in the area increasingly untenable. Crimea-based Ukrainian partisan group Atesh reported on June 8 that one of its agents in the headquarters of the Russian Dnepr Group of Forces reported that elements of the Russian 337th Airborne (VDV) Regiment (104th VDV Division) are abandoning their positions on the northern and western parts of the Kinburn Spit due to “completely disrupted” supplies.[1] The agent reported that ammunition, fuel, and food deliveries have stopped, that Russian forces on the spit have been unable to repel Ukrainian drone strikes, and that Russian losses have been growing. The agent reported that the Russian military command has begun redeploying an unspecified number of troops from the 337th VDV Regiment to an unspecified part of the “Zaporizhia sector” (possibly referring to the Orikhiv or Hulyaipole directions), but that the remaining elements on the Kinburn Spit are “virtually depleted” due to the lack of replenishment and can no longer defend the spit.

“Doesn’t matter if he’s a soccer ref, a terrorist, or just a general jackass… the rules are in place for a reason.. and he made the conscious choice to violate them…”


I would wager there’s a good chance he’s all three

Just like New York, California it will get exactly what it deserves.
It can wallow in its deep blue misery.

The "earlier visa difficulties" being Trump has not allowed visas to ANYONE from Somalia. The Somali govt was trying to do the best they could to get this guy here to do his job. Soccer ref is hardly a terrorist threat.

@Ontario Hunter Can you source your assertion that the "earlier visa difficulties" were Trump related? If not, I'll assert that he has ties to fraud or terrorism or Hunter Biden cocaine or ...

Proof please.

An article that expresses that view.

JONATHAN TURLEY: California proves voters get the government they tolerate

California's slow vote counting and billions wasted on a high-speed train to nowhere illustrate what Jonathan Turley calls the politics of low expectations.

One does not need to have ties to fraud or terrorism etc. to be denied a visa. Just a low net worth, financial stability, familial ties etc. can cause a denial of a visa. Basically, one has to have a good reason to go back home to get a visa.

Now, being a referee should have cut him a bit of a slack, but guess it did not. He should have been able to get an athlete's special visa like we give to Olympians etc..

Trinidad Texas police chief resigns over public pressure after arresting people for social media posts over the quality of water in Trinidad.
Good riddance to these type of cops, but unfortunately, he will end up on a police force somewhere else. Rinse & repeat.

The facts say otherwise.

Firearm Mortality

Map of deaths by firearms per 100,000 total population for each state

The facts would support his meme. The high gun death in Al,LA,MS, NM are all demographic related by race which if you look at there percentage of Democrat vs Conservative in the major cities you will see where they lean. As for Wyoming they lead the country multiple years in gun suicide that may be because of low population and high drug rates (ie loneliness) it’s what I would assume since when I look at John Hopkins gun death data from cdc 2023 in Wyoming they only had 10 gun related homicides and 116 suicides
