  1. Abreu sure made that one interesting. Javier on the mound tomorrow.
  2. Yankees are a team that never loses, they got screwed.
  3. Alvarez has made teams make pitching changes or mound visits more than anyone I know. Astros have also started hitting the ball and getting base runners
  4. I’ve never believed in anything that says “Well if it saves one life, it’s worth it”
  5. Myers to be back Saturday. Paredes…..maybe September. Two clutch bats.
  6. Yes, a settlement was reached between JPMorgan Chase and Jeffrey Epstein's victims, resulting in a $290 million payment to be distributed among the survivors. Additionally, Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $75 million to victims in a separate, earlier settlement. These deals, approved by federal judges in 2023, aimed to resolve claims that the banks were complicit in Epstein's sex-trafficking scheme by continuing to do business with him despite warnings of his activities. JPMorgan Chase Settlement Amount: $290 million Purpose: To compensate sexual abuse victims of Jeffrey Epstein and resolve claims that JPMorgan failed to act on warnings about his sex trafficking activities. Approval: A federal judge granted final approval of the settlement in November 2023. Deutsche Bank Settlement Amount: $75 million Purpose: To settle a lawsuit accusing Deutsche Bank of enabling and benefiting from Epstein's sex trafficking. Approval: This "groundbreaking" settlement was approved in May 2023. Key Takeaways These settlements are part of a broader effort by Epstein's victims to secure financial restitution by pursuing lawsuits against financial institutions that worked with him. The JPMorgan settlement also helps to fund the distribution process, with any remaining funds to be donated to a charity. These deals resolve class-action lawsuits brought by victims, not the criminal case that led to Epstein's 2019 arrest and his eventual death in jail.
  7. An NDA cannot be enforced over an illegal matter.
  8. McCormick optioned to AAA. I’m so sad. 😢
  9. Where’s all the pedo accusers? You know, the ones who convict and hate without one shred of evidence? Only real men admit when they’re wrong. Hate is a pretty strong driving force. Too bad it’s built on lies. Lmao.
  10. Like I said before, they don’t want everybody without Trump. The libs on this board, or anywhere, will not believe these victims. They will say they were coerced. Libs are not after justice because they protect criminals. Tell me I’m wrong.
  11. Rachel…..ok.
  12. Most serial killers are white males. It’s what confused the investigators in Atlanta when a black man was killing black children. It still doesn’t “shame” me for being a white male. I think that’s Big Girl’s angle. She has failed miserably.
  13. That video didn’t actually show the hit. Here’s one from cnn. I thought our commie buddies would be upset calling Trump a warmonger and such. The reality is that there is evil in this world that only responds to a smart bomb. This actually looks incendiary. [Hidden Content]
  14. Well, that’s one…..lol [Hidden Content]
  15. Need both to make our run. Paredes is a clutch bat. Don’t know his RISP. Abreu has been doing excellent but still need Hader.
  16. Yes, even more than that. I just mentioned my two losers.
  17. Gotta love baseball and their stats. For me there are too many other factors. I’m gonna say McCullers was pitching and McCormick was in center during some of the losses. Lol
  18. An Obama or Biden appointee? They’re the ones against law and order.
  19. Benito Mussolini did not invent the concept of fascism, but he popularized and formalized it, establishing the first fascist state with the National Fascist Party in Italy and inspiring its international spread. While he was the key figure in the creation of fascist ideology and the fascist movement in the early 20th century, the ideas and symbols that informed fascism, such as unity and authority, existed in various forms before his time. Key aspects of Mussolini's role: Founder of the Fascist Movement: Mussolini founded the Italian Fasces of Combat in 1919, which evolved into the National Fascist Party. Formalization of Ideology: He developed and applied the term "fascism" to his political ideology and movement. First Fascist State: Mussolini established the first fascist regime in Italy, serving as a dictator and inspiring the development of similar movements in other countries. Ideas and symbols pre-dating Mussolini: The term "fasces" refers to ancient Roman symbols of authority and unity, used by various political groups, including those on the left and liberal persuasions, prior to Mussolini's movement. The concept of unity and strength through solidarity was also present in other political symbols, like the fasces carried by Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic. Therefore, while Mussolini was the central figure in the creation and spread of fascism as a distinct political movement and ideology, the underlying concepts and symbols were not entirely new
  20. It’s about to come to a head this week.
  21. This is what libs want? You’ve got to be kidding me. The weekend still isn’t over, so it may end up worse. [Hidden Content]
