The Irish are beginning to fight back but it begs the question: why are the elites doing this to western country's? It is the great replacement, of that there can be no doubt. But why are they keen to replace the indigenous people of so many country's?

The U.S. Military Academy has apologized for falsely saying President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Pentagon, Peter Hegseth, was never accepted into the school, known as West Point.
“A review of our records indicates Peter Hegseth was offered admission to West Point in 1999 but did not attend. An incorrect statement involving Hegseth’s admission to the U.S. Military Academy was released by an employee on Dec. 10, 2024,” a spokesperson for West Point told The Epoch Times in an email.
“Upon further review of an archived database, employees realized this statement was in error. Hegseth was offered acceptance to West Point as a prospective member of the Class of 2003. The academy takes this situation seriously and apologizes for this administrative error.”

There’s more to it than just those stats. If he’s compiling those while dominating the ball and keeping opportunity from others, and the team loses in the process, that is “struggling” by comparison to expectations, salary, and past performance.
I don’t have a minute of my day to give a Lakers game these days, so I have no idea what the real deal is. Kobe was a literal burden to the team at the end of his career, and it looks like maybe the Lakers have another one starting if he also has a farewell tour.

You general assessment is correct, if a player dominates the ball they should have numbers and old Kobe is a good example. This year the Lakers have been trying to run the offense more through Antonio Davis. James definitely does not control the ball as much as Luka, the Greek Freak, Ball or some of the other leading NBA scorers.
You yourself state you “do not give a minute of your day to Lakers games”. James is compiling these numbers while being efficient regarding fg %, 3 pt% and turnovers per game still being as good or near his career averages. The Lakers are currently 13-11 in the far more competitive Western Conference where they are probably the 8th best team. If the Lakers were in the Eastern Conference the Lakers would be 4th or 5th best team. James is older, far more efficient and the Lakers are far more relative than Old Kobe or Jordan’s Wizard teams. What James did last year at 38 and thus far this year at 39 is unprecedented. Again, I am not a big fan of James off the court or on but his NBA accomplishments are undeniable, especially past the age of 35. James still is a Top 15-20 NBA player. This Shadow of Ezra (never herd of them) is lost & way off regarding the basketball observation of James which makes me question the rest of their observations/statements.

"
Some history of American Socialism and Communism I found:
---On September 12, 1905, approximately one hundred people met in a loft over Peck’s Restaurant, at 140 Fulton Street in lower Manhattan. The purpose of the meeting was to strategize the overthrow of the Christian worldview that still pervaded much of American culture and to replace it with the ideas of a then rather unknown writer by the name of Karl Marx. They called the organization they formed that day the Intercollegiate Socialist Society.
The godfather of the organization was a twenty-seven-year-old author named Upton Sinclair. The first president chosen was the author Jack London, age twenty-nine. Also present was Clarence Darrow, attorney.
The strategy of the organization was to infiltrate their ideas into academia by organizing chapters in as many colleges and universities as possible. And organize they did. Walter Lippmann, later author and director of the Council on Foreign Relations, was the president of the Harvard Chapter. Walter Reuther, the future president of the United Auto Workers, headed the Wayne State chapter; and Eugene Debs, who went on to become the five-time Socialist candidate for president, was a leader at Columbia.
The society grew. The first annual convention was held in 1910, and by 1917 they were active on sixty-one campuses and a dozen graduate schools. Other early activists included W.E.B. Dubois, who would become an official of the NAACP and later a Communist Party member, and Victor L. Berger of Wisconsin, who became the first Socialist elected to Congress.
In 1921 the Intercollegiate Socialist Society took its next organizational step, changing its name to the League for Industrial Democracy. Its purpose was “education for a new social order based on production for use and not for profit.” Norman Thomas, another perennial Socialist candidate for president, was the leader behind the scenes. The renamed organization’s first president was Robert Lovett, editor of the New Republic, and the field secretary was Paul Blanshard, who later became an author.
The college chapters of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society now became the Student League for Industrial Democracy. As members graduated from college, some entered the pulpit, others the classroom; some wrote textbooks while others entered the labor movement and both political parties. When the New Deal began in 1933, they were prepared. At the time the league had only 5,652 members, but they were in positions of leadership everywhere.
By 1941 John Dewey, the founder of progressive education and the league vice president in the 1930s, was its honorary president, and Reinhold Niebuhr, the theologian, its treasurer. Dewey had already organized the Progressive Education Association and the American Association of University Professors.
The League for Industrial Democracy was so successful that those who held membership in the movement or were cooperating with it could have been a list for Who’s Who in America: Robert N. Baldwin, founder of the American Civil Liberties Union; Charles Beard, the historian; Carroll Binder, editor of the Minneapolis Tribune; Helen Gahagan Douglas, the congresswoman who was defeated by Richard Nixon for the U.S. Senate; Felix Frankfurter, Supreme Court justice; Sidney Hook, the educational social philosopher; Edna St. Vincent Millay, the poet; Henry Morgenthau Jr., one of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s most trusted economic advisers; Walter and Victor Reuther, United Auto Workers; Will Rogers Jr., humorist; Franklin Roosevelt Jr., the president’s son; and Arthur Schlesinger Jr., the historian.
The obscure loft in Manhattan where they organized has long been forgotten, but what began there that night permeates America’s institutions and culture, having replaced the Bible-based values of the nineteenth century with a "liberalism" based on Marxism.
---In 1960 it rebranded again as the Students for a Democratic Society.

The basketball observation absolutely are not based on any statistic you would like to discuss. At this point the only person to have done what James is doing at this age (39) is James himself from last year.
Yes today’s NBA game is drastically different than the 1980’s. Let me ask you this: the last time you laced up you Chuck Taylor’s and out in your grey coaches shorts, you know the ones with a yellow stain in the front and a brown stain on the back, did you want to play full court or half? 99% of us prefer the 1/2 court because one can simply not keep up with the young guys full court but one can use their strength to slow them down in 1/2 court. The 1980’s was far slower pace, far more physical and mostly midrange jump shots or drive & get to the foul line. Today’s game is far more fast paced, nowhere near as physical (you can not hand check) and everyone shoots 3’s so everyone has to guard to the 3 pt line. You have to move and move often in today’s game. What style do you believe would be more advantageous to play for a 39 year old?
FYI: in the 1984-85 NBA season there were 29 players who average 20 ppg or more. In the 2023-2024 season there were 38 players who average 20 ppg or more. I’m more than confident a 38 year old James could have average 20 ppg a season in 1984-85.

So "WAR" in basketball is called VORP. His career cumulative number was better than Jordan's. His annual VORP since 2018 is clearly trending downward. To me, that's the way to value the biggest contracts. His shooting percentage has never been lower than this season.
This guy watches -
I guess the recent problems may be less father time than outside stress, as some have surmised. Maybe the Diddy-parties news was too much for Ms Savanah, and he's trying to get right doing some "homework"?

James is shooting 49.5% from the field and has shot worse than this 8 different times in his career. A major reason for this, James is settling for jumpers/3’s more than in years past. He is averaging a career low 4.6 free throw attempts per game. Why? James is 39, the energy level to go to the basket each night simply isn’t there compared to years past.
You valuation of the biggest contracts should tell you this regarding James contract:
A) James makes the Laker team far better with him in it than without. He is their 2nd best player but is their most reliable best player, Davis is simply hurt too often.
B) the Lakers remain relevant because of James. Without James, that arena would be lucky to be 2/3 full.
James still helps the Lakers win & make $$$ this the contract makes perfect sense for the Lakers.
I learned some history today and put my thoughts to it. In 1673 a long time ago, the Netherlands briefly reconquered the island of Manhattan and named it New Orange - no doubt in honor of the future Donald Trump is my guess. After about a year liberals once again retook the city (British I think they called themselves) and once again New York became its name and no doubt liberal became its politics.
The thread "Matt Gaetz...... the end is near." started on Aug 12 2021 by the one and only Happier was shut down something after Nov. 25th for further replies, "JUSTGOPLAY" was post 2,175 and the last made with a thumbs up by Costa. Sorry Happier it seems all good things come to an end even with out a real end of the story happening.

Okay, sure, but the real issue is potential “replacement” for that same money. The scenario does not exist in which James is simply gone without replacement
For now, sure. Again, there would not be a void in the absence of James, but a replacement star.

Your knowledge of the NBA is obviously limited. What big star switched teams or resigned with their team last year? In the NBA players can sign for more $$$ with their current teams than signing as a FA with another. Yes, they can try to force a sign & trade but what assets (players or draft picks) do the Lakers have that is of interest to other teams? Thats right, James was and is the best option for the Lakers last offseason.
You ask for a link regarding James ability to help keep the Lakers relevant. Well, how about this for starters. A big part of the Lakers valuation is they have a very lucrative regional tv revenue sports package. To maintain your relevance in Southern California one has to put forth a quality product, just too many things to do that can take away your popularity.

“Larry Bird rule”…..maybe for you but the NBA refers to it as ‘Bird Rights’ but hey, that’s splitting hairs.
You failed to admit you were off on James fg %, his current 49.5% he has shot lower than that eight tomes in his career. You were just a bit off.
It helps if one watches a game or two, maybe you should try that and form your own opinion of if James is in his “worse season yet” as stated by Shadow of Ezra, whomever that is. It was a ridiculous statement be Shadow to anyone who watches the games.
