I have no idea what you have heard. Looking at the stadium crowds does it look like people are staying away? Perhaps @Beerman was referring to you post where you mentioned hearing rumors that supporters were talking of boycotting any games in USA?

From the article @nursej22 cited here: Do you have a source that this was done at the behest of the Trump administration, and not the direction of the conference organizers? If so, perhaps you would share it with the rest of us?

Caution: You Aren't Officially "Done" Until the BON Says So
How so?

The closest source I was able to findnwas this, from the transcript of one of Ms. Richardson's videos ... ... and I don't see this as the her making an accusation. As for providing a source or citation, I have long been of the opinion that if you are going to post something, you should source it.

Coast Guard operating in "crisis" as DHS shutdown halts pay in May, cuts power, strains missions overseas The lack of DHS funding affects much more than ICE. At least three Coast Guard stations dedicated to search and rescue and a recruiting station have had utilities disconnected. And in New Orleans, power was cut off to the residence of a Coast Guard admiral; one of 1000 residences of Coast Guard members at risk of losing service due to unpaid bills. And, more importantly, the Coast Guard might not make payroll for the upcoming 15 May payday.

Another waste of time and money. While most commonly used as meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to," Merriam-Webster dictionary includes the following: And if he did it, which I doubt, I don't see this as a call to assassinate Mr. Trump.

I don't think it's your computer; I had a time getting logged on, and once I was able to, it has been a beast to navigate.

It seems they will, as they have agreed to the ceasefire in Iran; adding that it doesn't apply to the fighting in Lebanon. The bigger question is whether Iran is going to comply.

They do, and thank you for remembering them. After Ms. Noem, I really hoped he would be the next one to go.

Unlike most military installations, there is only one road onto the island. And until you get to the gate, it is two lanes. Once you get through the gate, the number of lanes increases, one article I read says to four lanes; I don't recall there being that many, but it's been a few years since I've been there. The DOD has mandated 100 % ID checks since May 2025, and some installations have been doing so longer. A Real ID compliant identification is required, and they are all scanned. I can't speak to the "enhanced procedures" that have been implemented. Negative publicity might have been a factor, but I don't think so. The original statement was posted 03/31, an updated on 04/01. As am I, although I imagine that some families chose not to attend.

Despite all of the erroneous reports to the contrary, the family day and recruit graduation at MCRD PISC apparently occurred without incident or replrted arrests of anyone by ICE. Federal officers stationed at Marine Recruit Depot Parris Island graduation

If and ICE agent were to detain a family member of one of the Marines, I doubt very seriously that any Marine colleagues are going to resist or in any other manner become involved. I've no idea what you've based your assumption on; I'm basing mine on 20 years active service in the Marine Corps. ETA: By the way, Marine should be capitalized.

Excellent question, one I had myself when I first saw this. It will be interesting to see how this works at the upcoming graduation this Friday, 3 April. And, I find it interesting that MCRD San Diego has not announced implementation of a similar process.

I follow several military and defense sites, and the deportation of both veterans, and reports of both veterans and/or their dependents is not an uncommon occurrence. From the New York Times, 34 Former Military Members Were Put on Deportation Track in the Past Year. I'll leave you to investigate further.

In the past I occassionally would question a post, especially those that seemed extreme. Since returning from time away from the political forum I have been less likely to do so. I have always thought, and mentioned occassionsally, that many of the posts in the political threads should be sourced. Not to fact check the poster, but as an opportunity to better see the other point of view. As for this discussion, it wasn't my intent to challenge or be disrespectful, and if I came across as such, please accept my apologies. Looking back, I should have exited this discussion earlier than I did. Best wishes.

Yes, and ~114,000 didn't. The change to precent level voting was reported by Votebeat Texas on 01/23/26. And in another report, Votebeat Texas described the methods used to disseminate this information. The point I'm trying to make is this: you stated erroneously that Dallas voters had their polling place changed without notice. This is one reason that I have always thought that when we post comments as fact, especially those not widely known, we should source them. ? Peace, and long life.

I specifically addressed the accuracy of your comment here regarding the change in polling location ... ... and not the merits of mail in voting. In fairness, the fact that the change had been announced was not widely reported.

This was a change from county wide voting that required voters to cast votes in their assigned precents. Notification was sent, although I was unable to find any information regarding when other than the AI overview stating they were sent in January. And, it affected both parties.

Unnecessary behavior
This is not unnecessary or unacceptable behavior; it moved beyond that to, in my lay opinion, possibly battery when this individual placed their hands on the OP and attempted to move them. At every place I've worked this would have resulted in a final written warning, if not termination. @resumecpr, in my opinion, if you haven't already done so you might consider the following: Review your facility's policy on disruptive behavior or workplace violence. You might have to each for it as it might be titled something else, but all facilities should have one. Notify your manager. Depending on the response from your manager, Notify your facility's risk management department. Notify your facility's police. If your facility does not have a police agency they should at least have security. If your facility does not have an internal police agency, you have to right to report this the your local police department. Do not accept this behavior. It wouldn't be acceptable if it happened at WalMart, why should it be acceptable at your place of work? Best wishes.
