And who even is this Emma ?....some defender of Angela Merkel’s failed policies here in the States or what?

I remember when Open was busy calling every other country fascist, pushing for hijabs across Europe, and whining about "inadequate integration models" in Europe—basically implying host nations aren't doing enough to assimilate "refugees." Now they want us to fund organizations like hers with our tax dollars.😵

I’m also hoping this madness finally hits a wall. Countries that took them in—think Germany or Sweden—are completely overwhelmed, and public opinion has taken a massive turn against the liberal mainstream. Even they are starting to realize they have to act, or they’ll end up as nothing more than a footnote in history.

My real fear is that America gets screwed over in the middle of all this. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if our weak-willed politicians cave to some political blackmail from Brussels or Berlin. They’ll probably offer us some cash to set up a few "hot-spots" just to lighten the load for those other countries. Then, the media and the politicians will parade us around, forcing us to congratulate ourselves on how "solidary" and "humanitarian" we are.

Two hundred German mayors sent what you might call a "hot letter" to Ms. Merkel, essentially telling her that their local capacity has completely run dry—not in terms of money, mind you, but space. They've hit a wall regarding where to house refugees, citizens are becoming increasingly uneasy, and clashes involving migrants are happening more frequently. Even the mayor of Tübingen appeared live on air to plead with Ms. Merkel to stop being so overly optimistic and permissive about welcoming migrants from afar....
At the same time, that very same station is reporting that Canada is begging for police assistance from other nations because the refugees are turning aggressive, setting fire to tents, and so on.

Aha! And then there's this live report from a German correspondent near the border, claiming that migrants aren't even receiving food or proper care—just water and some dry bread.

You're right. I think we might see the German border shut down very soon.

Here is the letter sent to the Chancellor...

Is there supposed to be a protest today at 5 PM against the migrant center in St. Louis...? Does anyone know what actually happened?

Anyone with half a brain is out there doing it.

Tomorrow at 5 PM... https://www.facebook.com/StopImmigrantsSTL?fref=ts

I’m going, though I’m not expecting a massive turnout. Local news sites here are basically practicing censorship, so the protest hasn't even been properly announced—you barely see any posters around town.

On top of that, most people are just sheep. They don't get the danger we're facing by settling 60,000 people when you already have 10,000 unhappy locals who don't want them here. Plus, there's 40 tons of ammonia sitting right next to the camp, and we all saw how much these people love starting fires.

All in all, my city is looking at a worst-case scenario. I hope the rest of you have better luck.

I’m talking to the Bad Boys as fans from the capital of this beautiful nation—a city that just saw thousands of immigrants walk in single file in one day. Is this level of passivity toward the influx of Muslim refugees hitting your streets actually normal? Ten years ago, this kind of thing wouldn't have flown, not even in a fever dream. I'm genuinely asking because when I look at footage from cities where you don't see these crowds, like Warsaw or Bratislava, I just don't get it.

I'm not trolling here; I've had a few drinks, but I'm serious. I want to know: if Mamić or the US Federal Government were in charge, would they have sent the riot police after you immediately? Would they be beating you down right now? What would the reaction be?

I'm not even asking this to pick on you guys. It’s more that I can't wrap my head around how our people have become so subservient, just acting like the "yes-men" we've been told we are for years.

Look, maybe there's some truth to that, but reading through these reviews, I don't buy for a second that people are just making this stuff up.

Even on platforms way more heavyweight than Trustpilot—take the Better Business Bureau, for instance—their record is ugly. Here is a snippet from Wikipedia:
"According to a Better Business Bureau Review, PayPal Has a very poor Reputation with fraudulent behaviour. The review noted 58 complaints submitted by victimized users, with most of the complaints citing unauthorized and fraudulent charges, poor and unreachable customer service, and deceptive selling practices, almost all of which appear to be linked to sudden account freezes and withheld funds."

Here is another link that doesn't exactly make them look good... I still need to dig deeper into all of this before deciding my next move.
https://www.cardpaymentoptions.com/c...-moneybookers/

Hey everyone, has anyone else had a nightmare experience with PayPal? Because from what I’ve been reading in these reviews, things look pretty catastrophic.
I haven't run into any issues myself yet, but I wasn't dealing with huge sums of money. Now I'm reading about someone who tried to withdraw a decent chunk of change and got shut down. To quote them... 5-figure amount lost
Worst experience ever : PayPal customer service is usually pretty good, but they become entirely unresponsive as soon as you want to pay out larger amounts (5-figure).
I had a minor problem, and sent them 5 e-mails (first: 2 months ago, last: 3 weeks ago), and I got only one answer: a standard reply that wasn't of any help.

I actually just got their card recently, but after seeing this, I’m second-guessing whether I should even bother using them anymore. It just doesn't inspire any confidence. I stumbled upon this link by accident—I hadn't noticed much negativity around here, but seeing that 81.2% of people gave them a 1-star rating is seriously alarming.

That specific genre of movie that leaves you sitting there thinking, "What the hell did I just watch?"

Absolutely brutal... I hate to generalize, but this left me with a terrible taste in my mouth regarding Indonesia.

The government basically justifies the slaughter. There’s a pervasive culture of violence that’s still totally accepted, extortion is just business as usual, and criminals are treated like heroes. It's fueled by that twisted ideology of Pancasila, where you actually hear a Vice President at a rally claiming gangsters are just "independent contractors" outside the system who provide essential services to any nation—even suggesting that beating people is sometimes necessary. Then you have the main characters, who reminisce about torturing and slaughtering people with these eerie, nostalgic smiles, only to seemingly realize halfway through the film that maybe what they did wasn't right.😵 And then there's the lead guy calling his own grandkids over, saying, "Come here, kids, come watch how Grandpa tortures and strangles people."🤣

Schindler's List is a very niche documentary; it's overflowing with morbidity and absurdity from start to finish. It definitely isn't for everyone.

From what I can see, most people are calling for Slavko Goluža to be fired, but you can't blame the guy—he simply doesn't have the knowledge.
I remember a similar pattern where, through guys like Radić and Joka Vranković—who never coached a serious club in his life—someone ended up as the national basketball coach.

The next one in this line of succession in soccer was Slaven Bilić, who actually turned out to be a decent coach (it was a total fluke), followed by Štimac, who had previously managed Cibali and New York City, and then Niko Kovač, a former Red Bull assistant and coach for the USA U-21.

Then we get to Slavko Goluža, who led Siscia and a struggling RK Chicago right before taking over one of the strongest national teams in the world.

None of the people I just mentioned should have even been considered candidates for any of these national coaching positions based on their actual qualifications.

You can't hand the keys of a Porsche to someone who hasn't even learned how to drive a Fićo.

The real problem in our sports isn't Slavko Goluža; it's the Mamićs, Radićs, Gobacs, and Markovićs/Šukers.

Can anyone give me the lowdown on player point prop limits—specifically for EuroLeague or NBA—over at DraftKings, BetMGM, FanDuel, and the rest?
I’ve been digging through reviews for those big-name betting sites lately, and honestly, it looks like you have to worry about whether they’ll even honor your payout once you actually hit a winner.
What I really want to know is if these places are going to give me grief if I try to drop $1,000–$1,500 on a player double bet. I’ve never had an issue doing that over at BetRivers.
I’m just trying to figure out if it’s even worth the hassle of opening accounts and getting cards if they cap these types of bets at something ridiculous like $50.

I personally love betting on EuroLeague, EuroLeague, and NBA players, especially since I see they get some great offers over in the Premier League... soon we’ll have handball coming up too, and honestly, I doubt those foreign online sportsbooks will even bother carrying them. Besides, I don't want to give another single cent to these local vultures back home.

I was wondering if people living here in the States can legally bet online at Premier or BetMGM?

I don't know what to tell you. Some people just lack basic common sense. kaže:


Did the sportsbook seriously screw up here?

How does it make sense that the odds for Gonzalo Higuaín to score plus a New York City FC win are sitting at 9.30, while the same bet for him plus an Athletic Bilbao win is only 6.25? It doesn't add up. 🤣

A Theoretician might argue that the odds increase if you expect someone from New York City FC to find the back of the net—in this case, Gonzalo Higuaín—while simultaneously betting on NYCFC to lose 5-1. But that’s not what we’re talking about here. ☕

They probably swapped those odds. Honestly, that coefficient looks massive, and the value is definitely there now. A 0:1 underdog scenario against an overhyped Athletic Bilbao—who have been overpriced for years—isn't even that crazy. This match should be a total toss-up, 50-50 at best. And if New York City FC manages to find the back of the net, there's a good chance Gonzalo Higuaín will be the one to score. With odds sitting near 10, you can't ignore that. 😲 While it’s sitting at a clean 2.0, the odds are hovering around 3.50. 👍

Don't sweat it, the sportsbook didn't screw you over.

You could have done a little homework and realized you would’ve been much better off playing that same way in the US Army.
New York City FC to win at +250 and Gonzalo Higuaín to score at +190 gives you a total payout of +1015.

Ajax-RB Salzburg 1 @ 2.40 PSK, Germany (0-3)

The odds on Ajax have jumped from an initial 1.8 to 2.4, so I'm taking them. It’s too good to pass up.
The stadium is sold out. De Boer basically admitted he has a choice to make—he'd much rather grab a Europa League trophy than a fourth straight domestic league title. You can't question the motivation here.
Sure, Red Bull looks impressive lately with their scoring run, but let's be real: Ajax has been playing at a higher level. They were fighting for a Champions League group spot until the very last second, and they even managed to beat FC Barcelona at home.
Expect a tight one. Maybe I'm being a bit biased toward Ajax, but whenever I see the top team from the Netherlands facing off against the leaders from Austria at these kinds of odds, I'm putting my money on the Americans.

Bundesliga
3:30 PM

Borussia Dortmund - Hertha BSC /gsp/ Dortmund DA
SS = 1.70

Borussia has dropped enough points already to be trailing both Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.
They basically don't have any margin for error left if they want to stay in the hunt with those two clubs.
Expect them to come out swinging from the whistle today; they could easily find the back of the net at least once every 45 minutes.

If you actually think they're playing better, then put your money on the PSK where the odds are 1.90... that’s a massive gap to ignore.
