5 1/2 hours until kick-off of Oz NRL in Vegas.

Not trying to replace NFL, just be an additional sport.

My team, with the best colours and best jersey/shorts/socks in the league is one of the 4 teams on show.
Won't be a superbowl crowd, but they say they've sold 40,000 tickets to the double header.
NRL will lose about $1M-$2M on the venture, and had expected a crowd of about 10,000.

But "fans from across the globe will flock to the NRL history making doubl-header on Sunday "(my time)- Sunday Telegraph.
"Fans from a staggering 24 countries and 4 continents will be represented.
14,000 Aussies, plus NRL fans from NZ, PNG, England, war-torn Afghanistan.

NRL ticketing records show fans have bought seats from US, Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Cayman Islands and  Bermuda.
France, Germany, Ireland, Asian countries, and UAE. Netherlands, Austria, Spain.
Asia's gaming equivalent of Vegas, Macau, will be represented".

"The fan festival on Friday underlined the league fever gripping Vegas, with more than 5,000 fans flocking to Fremont St for a footballing festival."

Hope it all looks good on tv.
It's a great brand of footy.
Every player does both attack and defence, and must have all the skills.
Speed, strength, courage...and the ability to catch balls kicked high into the 'heavens'.

Unlike any country in the world America IS America because of the immigrants whose toil, sweat and blood built this joint.

Even when thousands  of them here illegally rape and kill our  kids while out on parole for killing and raping more of our kids.

Thousands more like the guy who murdered Audrii Cunningham home grown right here.

Is that your left hand or your right hand?

Thank you for admitting that Florida has become unlivable under republican control even for federally subsidized mouth breathers.

You would do no more harm to this country from Texas than you do from Florida.

Good luck

We have more cops than ever, and yet crime keeps going up. And their solution, hire more cops! They just do not get it. And as long as they keep paying assholes to patrol with guns for $100,000 per year then they are going to keep doing the gravy jobs, they do not have to go to school, no degree needed. And the fucking prison guards, they are too lazy to go to college, so they make $80,000 per year to stand there with a gun and guard the prisoners. They are not producing jack shit, they are not creating jobs, it is all bullshit. It is like people get paid for their toxic masculinity, they get paid to be a tough guy, but they are not doing shit to create jobs. And the lazy people are going to keep going to the easy gravy jobs, border patrol agents, prison guards, etc. As long as cops get paid more than teachers then the people are going to keep getting the jobs as cops.

If we want change, then we need to change our system, and we need to start rewarding teachers and producers.

And with the President of Ukraine, he was an Actor, actors can win their hearts and minds, along with singers, poets, priests, etc.

We need to build schools instead of prisons, and we need to train teachers instead of soldiers. Part of the reason why the Roman Empire collapsed was because they had too many soldiers, and the taxes were too high in order to pay all of the soldiers, and the solders do not produce anything.

Democracy started in Greece where the people were highly educated, and we still study Aristotle, and Euclid, etc, etc, etc, today, we still study the Greeks. And we built our nation of the foundation provided by Athens. We need to educate our people, and we need schools and libraries. And we have all of the new technology for streaming services such as movies and television shows, and so we need to make good quality entertainment for society.

For instance, in 1938 the top film was "Boy's Town" about Father Flanagan, and the film made Boy's Town famous so that we could all support Boy's Town. Right now we could make a movie about Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries, and then we can make Homeboy Industries famous so that people can support the organization. We can use the Arts to benefit society. And if we want to improve society, instead of just perpetually hiring more cops, then we need to expand programs such as Homeboy Industries. And we need to build more schools and libraries, etc. And we need for the Construction Unions to teach the Trades to the Prisoners, etc, so they can work an honest job when they get out of prison.

Instead of having a perpetual decline in civilization, then we need to strengthen civilization.

Salute,

Tony V.

I sent a message to the Pope on Facebook...

Pope Francis, Sir, we can help the immigrants in the USA by helping them to become legal, and by working for a change in the laws so that our immigrants can come out of the shadows, and so they can be legal, like Reagan did. And along with making our immigrants legal, then we need to help the immigrants to connect with the right jobs, the Farm Workers can be sent to the Farm Workers of America Union, and the Construction Workers can be sent to the unions for the Construction workers, and the Truck Drivers can be sent to the Teamsters Union, etc. And the Educated immigrants can be teachers in Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, etc. We need to make the immigrants legal, and we need to connect the immigrants with good jobs.

I hope the Pope reads it.

Salute,

Tony V.

Cops, prison guards, tough guys are risking their lives to keep society safe, keep the laws obeyed.
They're getting paid for the risk, shift work, not jobs everyone wants to do.

Do you actually think that matters to him? The Republicans have a wedge issue.
Well seems they dems are overlooking an issue in their favor.
Biden, according to the pointy headed liberals, is using illegal immigration to reduce crime!
Typical response from you for getting called out for a blood libel.

It is no surprise Red blames his many failures on his parents. He may be the perfect example of sparing the rod spoiling the child.

Saw a special on television about Jacquelyn Kennedy, she had such a hard life. She had some real highs and lows.
