I’ve boxed in my youth (long enough to know that I was never going to be great by any means), and your headgear doesn’t shift on its own…but usually with significant help from your opponent. That was 30 seconds into the fight, and she bowed out at 46 seconds so something wonky happened. Cool...

Well, here’s something detail wise that’s not just conflicting opinions from overnight: Angela Carini went to her coach 30 seconds into the fight to fix her headgear but after briefly resuming she returned to her corner and stopped, quickly leaving the ring. She later explained that she had...

Top Iranian officials will meet the representatives of Iran's regional allies from Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen on Thursday to discuss potential retaliation against Israel after the killing of the Hamas leader in Tehran, five sources told Reuters. The region faces a risk of widened conflict between...

So, if some other Democrat floats to the surface of the pile, and dances the dance & jumps through the hoops…would Kamala have to split Biden’s $250,000,000.00 war chest she “inherited” or is that hers solely upon the endorsement of the handful of Democrat Royalty & Celebrity Endorsement she’s...

The scams are real though, and I don’t know what the odds of profitability are, one in a thousand (?) or whatever, but if they didn’t work, they wouldn’t exist. Smart people can get fooled, just as easily as the not so smart at times. Here’s an attempt from the middle of the night, sitting on...

Actually, the British Empire had governance over the most people at its peak. The Mongol Empire was the largest when looking at continuous land area… but that’s a different story.😉 I live in Canada, & those currently in governance in my nation sure as hell don’t own me.

Shigella causes disease in primates, but not in other mammals; it is the causative agent of human shigellosis. It is only naturally found in humans and gorillas. During infection, it typically causes dysentery. Shigella is a leading cause of bacterial diarrhea worldwide, with 80–165 million...

Did they “own” the people from which they held sway over the land?

Like I was saying above, it’s all over the place, with conflicting information. Anyone on any side of the issue can find a current news story to back up their opinion. No idea which ones the actual truth at this point. The only consistent thing is that there’s controversy involved.

Ruling over a land or territory is different that owning the people that occupy it. I think that’s the point that’s trying to be put across. Does King Charles own the people of Great Britain, Canada, Australia, etc…?

Two Olympic boxers have found themselves at the centre of a fractious controversy in recent days, following a decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to allow them to compete in Paris. Thousands of comments - and numerous news articles – have claimed Algeria's Imane Khelif and...

Two boxers who were disqualified from competing with women at a global event last year have been permitted to fight in the Paris Olympics, the International Olympic Committee confirmed. Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu‑ting of Taiwan failed to meet gender eligibility tests at the Women’s...

Only caught some headlines, and I’m trying to cook up about 30 pounds of bones for my dogs… In the women’s boxing division, two boxers, one super spiking testosterone and about a year ago, & the other failed the gender thing XY etc… Haven’t had a chance to dig into it.

Had a relative that caught that years ago in Mexico….. high-end resort too. Sicker than a dog for a long stretch…& by the time she was better she lost 30 or 40 pounds. Crazy.

Desert heat? Global warming? Lost at the camel races? Mother-in-law coming for the weekend? Israel existing?

The Houthi militia, born in the wilds of northwestern Yemen, has been wanting a war with Israel for decades. Its distinctive five-line motto, printed on flags and chanted at rallies by the group’s faithful, includes the lines “Death to Israel” and “Curses on the Jews.” (It’s good to have goals)...

This about those two boxers in Paris?

The Love! The Warmth! The camaraderie, it just radiates….

Here’s a fun one. When you sit back and try and look at the bigger picture, Forest for the trees sorta thing…& assume that everybody has a propaganda agenda on a geopolitical scale…you start to notice subtle things…Almost subliminal until you realize what you’re seeing. This headline reads...

Qatar and Egypt, which have acted as mediators in ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas (not Israel and Palestine), suggested on Wednesday that the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh could jeopardise efforts to secure a truce in Gaza. "It undercuts the strenuous efforts made by...
