    Winter Olympics 2026

    I really enjoy the short track speed skating as well as the biathlon. Curling is always fun.

    '27 FL WR Julius Jones Jr (Offer)

    I think both thoughts and attitudes can be correct at the same time: It is unfortunate to see rosters getting absolutely GUTTED by guys leaving for NIL deals and coaching changes (see Iowa St. for the second one). Loyalty to programs is less than ever before, and that does sting to a lot of...

    As I stated in my first response to this thread, they were already feeling the effects of being stretched too thin by 1942 (Pearl Harbor happening in December negates anything about 1941). Pearl Harbor was a preemptive strike to force our hand while Japan KNEW that they were incapable of truly...

    My first response to you does mention that on page 1. That’s fair. I get it. But the fact of the matter is, we, the US, haven’t fought a global power at their height.

    Right. But my point is the US wasn’t fighting them at their peak because they had to be split up. Add to the fact that most of what the US fought was never the largest forces, AND many western engagements were around and after Stalingrad…

    See my post above. They can definitely not count for many reasons. And of course we hadn’t peaked prior to WWII, we weren’t run by a military industrial complex. The US military was dismantled after WWI because the government did not believe in having a large standing military because they...

    Granted that guy named George won after securing alliances with France, Spain, and the Dutch. Also, he won similarly (but not mirrored) to how the wars of the last 50 years have been “won” by the opponents of the US. The British never fully committed to the war. But I do get your point.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love a good bashing of the South and their cause, but yeah.

    I completely agree with all of this. Also, nevermind the fact that, while the South won May battles early on, they were not knocking the Union out of the war anytime soon, especially from a military strength standpoint. It was all a matter of time until the Union’s superior forces, production...

    Japan's zenith, I'd argue was prior to Pearl Harbor. The whole reason Pearl Harbor happened was as an extreme risk due to understanding they did not have the bandwidth to match the USA, which they knew was getting close to being involved. The US embargoed Japan. They couldn't get oil from us...

    We honestly don’t have much to visit in town here, except the Black Diamond (wings). But I do encourage people to come up, go to Pottsville and get a tour of Yuengling.

    Warwick is a good district from what I remember, yes? I live in Frackville and work at our Vo Tech here in town 6 blocks away so that’s a plus.

    This coming snow storm here Sunday into Monday are the kind I live for. As a teacher, I'll get a virtual day Monday so that's cool. But also, I just really enjoy the quiet beauty of these storms. My wife, on the other hand is less than pleased. She works in OT at the local hospital and has to...

    Trump Presidency Round 2

    Again. Clinton sucks. No argument from me, but keep the talking points up. Blank checks? Yeah because our budget is balanced, and Trump TOTALLY isn’t promising money we don’t have everywhere.

    Trump Presidency Round 2

    She sucks and probably would have sucked, but she wouldn’t be trying to take over Greenland and ruin alliances like a dick. But sure, let’s deflect to something from 9 years ago while Trump acts a fool.
