Clean out Columbia, eliminate the Mexican Cartels, take back Cuba, and then you'll have no reason to worry about Puerto Rico at all. I've known a lot of Puerto Ricans and most have been pretty sound where the U.S. is concerned. Independence is the least desired option because of the predator regimes which are already in our hemisphere and which should have been neutralized long ago.

Liberal's hate Manifest Destiny, and schools don't teach it appropriately. Boiled down it said America would be safest if we exported a superior way of life to our neighbors. It's failing is that we didn't do that, but rather profited from cheap labor on the borders.

As we move to an era which will see 3 different political zones, one in the Americas like dominated by the U.S., one in Europe which will emerge as a collaboration between the E.U. and Russia, and the third controlled by China into Korea and Southeast Asia and extended their outreach to the South Pacific, but which will likely see Japan as part of our Pacific zone, it will become evident I hope, to corporate interests to use the labor in South and Central America by locating plants formally in China in our own sphere of influence strengthening the economies of those nations and by doing so their ties to us. We can't afford chaos in our zone if China rules theirs. Anything between the E.U. and Russia will be chaotic enough.

Here's the problem.. Jay-Z is still the NFL 's halftime producer. Do you realize how many non-hiphops have led the half time show since 2020?

ZERO. (the last was was Maroon 5 in 2019)

How many do you think are going to get a chance to play in his "sandbox" as the lead performer?

Basically we're asking someone who's out of touch with America to be the 'Music voice of America'?

My other problem with your idea, TripleA. the big names I'd love to hear again are no longer with us.

Of couse, I asked a ton of people on social media, so we can just play American music for all the World Cup games and entertainment, right?

That went over as expected, like a lead balloon.

Now they know how many people felt about Bunny's songs and performance.

Yes. I'm well aware of all that. I was being sarcastic.

The Bad Bunny show gave a middle finger to white folks, while the TPUSA show gave a middle finger to people of color. I've seen this approach from both the political left and the right — many times. Cliched and pathetic.

And Bob Ritchie lip synching ... what was up with that? Shameful. I'm not a Kid Rock fan but I do like some of his songs. But on Bawitdaba ... it was blatantly clear he wasn't singing. Embarrassing.

I would rather have watched a barbershop quartet than either of these lame performances — courtesy of both the socio-political left and the right.

What an idiot I was wasting my time on this.

That is not a remotely accurate take, Bill.

100 million people, a majority of who were white were watching the SB already. The bunny idiot purposely went out of his way to alienate untold millions of white and conservative Americans and give them the finger.

The TPUSA had several million people who purposely tuned in to see their show and those acts, its not alienating or giving a middle finger to anyone expect Bad Bunny.

Its a pretty epic reach to say that is a middle finger to "people of color". That is a typical MSM/ far left BS narrative.

How many people of color were in the audience for the TPUSA performance, Eric? I purposely looked and saw very few.

The four artists who performed on the TPUSA show are white, and they appeal overwhelming to white fans. And I am 100 percent fine with that. I'm white and I like lots of "white music" (Celtic, bluegrass, neo-classical solo piano, some Americana, classic rock, old-school country, even some Kid Rock). Nothing wrong with it, and I'm not going to apologize for it. If somebody says I'm culturally biased because I like such music ... they are correct. Doesn't make me a bad person. I also love modern-era instrumental jazz (which was dominated by black artists) and some classic 1970s funk and soul.

But I'm going to be consistent. Bad Bunny targeted a left-leaning audience of color and the TPUSA show targeted a right-leaning white audience. Plain and simple. And that's fine.

So maybe my use of "giving the middle finger" is harsh. But both groups know their audiences and played to them.

I'm going to be consistent. If I'm going to criticize Bad Bunny for looking like a buffoon with the crazy outfit and gyrations, then I'll equally criticize Bob Ritchie, who is a 55-year-old grown-ass man and was jumping up and down like some foolish 25-year-old gangster rapper as he (Kid Rock) performed Batwidaba. Absurd is absurd and playing to your audience cuts both ways. If Kid Rock is allowed to do, so is Bad Bunny.

I'm just a crusty old cuss when it comes to this stuff.

I’m not sure if you have ever seen Kid Rock in person but that’s how he opens every show. Same song with “My Name Is Kid Rock” tagline. Like you I noticed the lip syncing on Bawitdaba. It’s not uncommon for artists to lip sync in certain performances.

According to Google AI almost all award shows and the Super Bowl Halftime Show are all lip synced. Pop and Rap are notorious for it because of the heavy choreography and multi tracking. That’s probably the reason we haven’t seen TPUSA detractors mention the lip syncing. They know Bad Bunny was lip syncing too.

I’ll be 63 next month and I listen to all kinds of music. Not all of them perform in English exclusively either. That’s my biggest issue with Bad Bunny. Only 14% of the US population speaks Spanish. Why would the NFL choose a guy that 86% of the country couldn’t understand the lyrics? Many are blaming the NFL when the issue likely lies with Jay Z and his Live Nation team.

Jay Z is not going to choose anyone who mainstream Americans know. It’s only going to get worse before his contract with the NFL ends in 2030. We’ll see if the NFL puts pressure on him to select a white pop or country artist for next year, I just don’t see that happening.

In 1992 In Living Color did a halftime show they called “The Super Halftime Show”. Over 22 million switched channels and it changed how the NFL did its halftime shows.

It’s going to be interesting seeing if the TPUSA show forces the NFL to tact back to the Center and away from performers who try to divide viewers.

I don't like lip syncing. I don't like Jay-Z. I love the music of AC/DC but I do not want to see Angus Young perform in a schoolboy outfit at this point in his career. He looks like a buffoon.

As to "dividing viewers," it's going to happen (whether purposely or by circumstance) as long as you have "artists" who have primarily one racial/ethnic group. I would love to see Rival Sons or Dropkick Murphys perform at a Super Bowl halftime but that ain't going to happen. And yes, there is a racial dynamic with that. Jay-Z is not going to invite Rival Sons or Dropkick Murphys.

I don't much care for commercial music in general, so it's moot for me. Bro country, gangster rap, hip-hop, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Kid Rock, radio/mainstream country, Bad Bunny ... I'm lost. None of that music is for me. And that's fine. More power to all them. Get rich and enjoy doing it. I'm all for that. I'll listen to some Gregorian chant or modernist instrumental jazz.

I enjoyed seeing U2, The Who, The Boss, Tom Petty and the Chili Peppers on the Super Bowl halftime shows of years ago. Those days are gone. But unlike many on this board, I could care less if either Kid Rock or Bad Bunny perform during the half next year.

Now, I would pay BIG BUCKS to see Kid Rock and Bad Bunny — in a stunning development — team up for a one-two punch next year in an effort to unite us all. That move likely would cause a meltdown from both the left and the right. Would be joyous to see it (both the performance and the meltdown).

Your statistics seem accurate.

But that was not my point. I simply posted this:

Some on the left want to make the right feel guilty, calling conservatives racist for the slighting things. It's pathetic. In contrast, some on the right get more upset about a black athlete taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem than they do an innocent black man going for a jog and being shot to death just because he's black.

I would hope you agree with the bolded.

That guy got shot because he grabbed for the guy's gun instead of waiting for the police to defuse the situation. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And he probably was going through that vacant house looking for things to steal.

And the guys with the guns also played stupid games and won the prize of years in jail. They were playing cop.

I don't have much sympathy for someone who trespassed and then grabbed for a gun.

So no, that doesn't bother me. Stupid people met and bad things happened, just like with Obama's "son" and the Hispanic wannabe cop.

I have no idea what you're referencing, bullet.

I was alluding to Ahmaud Arbery.

I have lots of MAGA friends who live in the same condo building I live in and we meet for coffee every Saturday. When Arbery was shot just for jogging, they kind of shrugged and said, "That's unfortunate." But when pro athletes take a knee during the anthem, my same MAGA friends go ballistic. Seems odd to me.

That is exactly what I was referring to. Its sad. You don't have anything but the MSM talking points instead of whole story.

There were a lot of break-ins in their neighborhood so 3 guys decided to play cop. Arbery stopped on his jog and starts going through this vacant house/construction site. They assumed he was robbing the place so they cornered him and held him at gunpoint while they called the police. He tried to get the gun from one of the guys and got shot.

He got shot for trying to take a gun away from someone, not for jogging while Black.

That's what's wrong with America. Three second talking points.

I have seen various accounts of what happened so I don't know what to believe. But a jury ruled in favor of the prosecution and against the three white men. Maybe you should blame it on the jury and the defendants lawyers. And not the media.

I'm willing to readily acknowledge (if the full truth ever is revealed) that Arbury was fully at fault. He had a record. Maybe he "asked for it." The defendants claim he tried to take the gun. Maybe he did. Do we have proof of that? Again, I'm willing to have my mind changed.

That still does not negate my general argument: There are white people who get more upset when a black pro athlete takes a knee during the national anthem than they get when an innocent black person is wrongly murdered (whether Arbury or not). I've seen this (in my building, no less) first hand.

And by the way: 1. I always stand at attention when the anthem is played. My father served. I'm pro police and pro military. Blacks can be racists. The black man on the subway who murdered the European girl ... I won't lose sleep if he gets the death penalty. There are elements of the left that disgust me. Biden sniffed women's hair. Pathetic. I could go on.

You may not know any white people who get more upset when a black pro athlete takes a knee during the national anthem than they do when an innocent and decent black person is wrongly murdered, bullet.

But I do. And I pity them.

Again, you are buying the MSM talking points!!!

They took the law in their own hands. The brought the gun into the action. So they got convicted under the law. That doesn't mean anything other than they were stupid and Arbery got shot because he was stupid and instead of waiting patiently tried to jump one of the guys. Each side bears 100% of the responsibility. And the same thing might have happened if the jogger was white.

Lets just pretend it was the biggest soccer championship event in Mexico and the powers in charge decided the halftime entertainment would be a white American Country and Western singer who did a show all in English explaining how great American culture is. I wonder how well that would go over in Mexico or in any other Latin American nation. Its just a bumbling tin ear type move by the NFL to expect it to be what NJ most Super Bowl fans want to see. The reality is the league is turning its back on its own core fan base---and its been doing so for years----really for no intelligent reason that I can discern.

Everyone is acting as if the NFL has zero say over who plays at THEIR halftime show. Bad Bunny played the show because the NFL either wanted it too or were neutral over it. To be frank, it was a shitshow. No one wants a repeat of it. Someone will find some Diddy or Epstein dirt to apply to JayZ. Morality clause will be invoked and he’ll get booted if he refuses to cooperate.

as I mentioned once 'trans'lated, there's no way that's allowable on broadcast tele if in english...

Reason 2,315 as to why I no longer watch the Stupor Bowl or any NFL contests or product.

Yet another reason all college football fans should be concerned about ESPN and FOX's relationship with them.

I watched my last NFL telecast in 1985. I haven't missed it. It's not a sport. They claim it is an entertainment industry and it is as real as pro wrestling!

What was once great and American through the 70's became corporate. The corporate touch is as destructive as that of King Midas. They may turn it into goal but they destroy it's history and life when they touch it.
