Why should anyone care what some drunk in a foreign country has to say about our elections?

Report — Obama Presidential Center Subcontractor Forced to Shut Down over $4M Nonpayment Dispute

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/07/23/report-obama-presidential-center-subcontractor-forced-to-shut-down-over-4m-nonpayment-dispute/

Quote
A subcontractor who worked on former President Barack Obama’s (D) presidential center in Chicago, Illinois, has reportedly shut down operations and laid off workers in the latest drama linked to the property.

Adamson Plumbing Contractors owner Mike Owen said his company closed down, laid off 25 union workers, and had to abandon multiple other construction jobs due to the business being owed nearly $4 million, Fox News reported Thursday.

“Before the center opened, Owen said the project had left his company with $3.9 million in losses tied to delays, rework, labor overruns, and changing project demands. He said he spent months negotiating with Lakeside Alliance, the project’s construction manager, before going public after failing to reach a resolution,” the article read.
...
In regard to Owen’s battle over the nearly $4 million payment dispute, his company that performed the work under the name Marsh-Adamson, has filed a $1.72 million mechanic’s lien against the center’s property in an effort to be paid for the work.

“Laying off close to 30 people is something that no owner in our industry wants to do. It’s a hard thing to do, especially when you know you can finish them and the company can still make money. But we were put in a pretty bad corner,” he said.

Not or very slowly paying bills is a tradition among top-level Dem pols, but usually it's their Presidential campaigns. OhBummer! is taking this tradition to new places. I wonder how many more Chicago contractors have gone or will go under, thanks to OhBummer!

She has been a member since 2004 that averages out to 53 posts a day :thatsright: :loser: :loser: :loser: :mental: :mental: :mental:

My daily average, ~16 1/2 years, is 5.8 per day, though there was a 3 or 4 year gap in those years with almost no posts.

My current average per day over almost 18 years here: 2.994

Old n Grumpy: 3.009 per day

That's all we have time for. And we make them count.

Emmett Till was murdered in 1955. Not only am I sure Caitlin Lark was not born yet in 1955, but chances are very high that her parents were also born after 1955. Invoking Till was pure race-baiting-by-irrelevancy.

There is plenty of video that proves that Clark is being repeatedly assaulted, not "flopping".

Here is the WNBA's list of 2026 State Farm WNBA 3-Point Contest participants, https://www.wnba.com/news/2026-state-farm-wnba-3-point-contest-participants . Despite being very effective at 3-point shots, Clark is not participating. She says she is "resting"; some commenters believe she is abstaining as a hint to the league that she could walk away from more than this fan-magnet contest.

If I were one of those on-line weirdo's, I'd start a petition to recommend that she leave the BLBNA for Europe. If Caitlin leaves, that finger-pointer teammate Sophie Cunningham will follow, and no one will watch that dreck. The NBA has been subsidizing that league for 30+ years.

Wild Paragraphs About Caitlin Clark in That USA Today Op-Ed

Caitlin Clark is getting hammered on the court. We’ve seen it. The WNBA is getting media coverage, but for all the wrong reasons. She’s one of the few players who draws a crowd, boosts ratings, and the officiating is downright absurd—she got punched in the throat, and no foul was called during the game. Clark, being classy, has mostly played down the drama, saying the officiating can always be improved.

Still, this USA Today op-ed about Clark’s supposed flopping decided to include an Emmett Till reference, which was outlandish and forced. Also, the criticism about Clark getting beaten up led to accusations of white nationalism in this piece. It’s almost a parody. I mean, what the hell is this [emphasis mine]:

Again, what in the world is this? Being a Clark fan means you might be involved in Klan activity—it’s not even worth commenting on, and you can see why this league remains irrelevant: it doesn’t help when your sports media is beyond unserious.

And when reading the author’s biography—she also delivers lectures—you can see how and why these passages came about.

"The intersection of sports and social issues"—sounds like a perfect summary for someone who doesn’t know how to cover this beat.

The author of the USA Today article seems to be engaging in one of the left's favorite pastimes: Conclusion-jumping. Basically, their logic goes "The fouls weren't real, so Clark must be being racist".

If Trump was a child rapist, he'd fit into the category of people dems try desperately to protect.

And they never cared about his supposed crimes until he became President.

How much time do you have to spend on the dump to have 300,000 posts?

I think that qualifies you as a  :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser: :-) :lmao:

After 300,000 posts, nothing is pellucid, and nothing is clear. :-)
