I cut the cord years ago, so visiting my dad for Thanksgiving was real eye opener about how much TV advertising there is now for online casinos/sportsbooks.
I have come to the conclusion that all gambling should be made illegal again; or at the very least, must all be conducted in person at bookies.
The co-founder of Kalshi says: " The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

Quite probably the most openly racist administration since Woodrow Wilson’s.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
I follower a few defense experts.
Seeing them all straight-up declare this a war crime without any him-and-hawing is uhm
Disconcerting.
Pete Hegseth must resign, as does Stephen Miller. Donald Trump should be subpoenaed before Congress to answer for HIS policy.

OOTP is not real life of course, but Year 1 of my Angels save has Taylor Ward just looking like A Guy. Not sure if I'd take Rodriguez straight up for him, but I'd at least go through all the Orioles prospects trying to get at least a 30 FV guy thrown in only to have the Orioles reject every one.
Almost every time an MLB trade happens, I can see the logic for both sides.
In this O's-Angels trade, I can't find the logical underpinning unless Baltimore is really worried about Rodriguez's recovery from elbow issues.
