    Gotta love the fake outrage by Barb ... must be on a longer menstrual cycle than usual, as normally she's only here for a week and then disappears.

    Epstein only matters when Trump's in office, apparently, since no democrats were ever involved lol

    Well, Rev is a dumb cunt so it's expected of her.

    Bondi released video she claimed was raw of Epstein’s jail and it had been edited. She claimed to have a Epstein’s list and then claimed it didn’t exist. You seen footage of Epstein and Trump together. By this point you know Trump appointed people that allowed Epstein to avoid jail and continue to offend.

    You are either stupid or complicit.

    Did that help? It was a simple change here to he. But it was a good question.

    Just the other day Trump scolded a reporter for asking about the Epstein files when “there is so much more important things going on”. Evidently a has been dyke living in Ireland is more important than making Pedo’s like Trump pay for their crimes.

    Of course you mean "Pedo's" like Biden, MC and yourself..

    Good catch. That must have made the post impossible for your feeble mind to grasp.

    Hold on, I think I’ve decoded it.

    Read it again and turn here to he. Then you can answer.

    Yes your mind is extremely feeble, it's surprising you can comprehend anything at all, perhaps you'll learn someday.

    Poor dumb dumb.

    You supported an incest pedophile. The closed doors of the Biden family. You seem proud.

    Scrape up $25.00 to become a donating member or still going with the Democrat free ride and let somebody else pay

    MC's probably a Pedo himself that's why he supported Pedo Biden.

    Former ICE Agents Speak Out on Why They Quit Amid Trump's Deportation Quotas

    A growing number of former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are coming forward, exposing the disturbing work conditions and internal pressure that led to their resignations. According to The Atlantic, these agents say President Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy—pushed by his “One Big Beautiful Bill”—has turned their jobs into a quota-chasing nightmare.

    One former ICE officer, who asked to remain anonymous, said that what started as a patriotic duty has now turned into a job they no longer recognize. “Even those that are gung ho about the mission aren’t happy with how they are asking to execute it – the quotas and the shift to the low-hanging fruit to make the number,” they explained.

    Another ex-agent became even more blunt, revealing that the emotional toll of the job had become too heavy, saying they would rather quit than “arrest gardeners.” Under direction from former Trump advisor Stephen Miller, ICE agents have been expected to make 3,000 arrests per day. And the kicker? Many of those arrested have no criminal records at all. In fact, according to The Atlantic, arrests of non-criminal migrants reportedly spiked 807% since Trump took office.

    For some former agents, the turning point came when they realized the job was no longer about national security or justice—it was about feeding the numbers. They also report long hours, relentless overtime, and a disturbing lack of focus on mental health.

    Lord, thought you were a sledder. I've blown up every brand and many more than once. Not melting down a two stroke only happens when you don't ride.

    Then I would assume it's a way over-blown story from Poo haters.

    I've been riding Poo sleds among other brands since 1967 and Poo wheelers since 1998, not once did I ever have any issues except one broken axle, had 2 500's 1 600, 1 700, 1 800, 1 850, 1 325, and 3 1000's, maybe more that I've forgotten about..lol, never a fire and almost zero issues with them, just tires and some clutch rebuilding, couple of u-joints.. I do all my own work here.

    Cool story ... still doesn't mean all the QC issues at Polaris don't/didn't exist. I have an extended family member that works at Polaris - I don't hear about fires from him either lol

    Nope. There's a lot of things I haven't seen, but just because I haven't seen something in person doesn't mean it's untrue.

    10 years ago we had a recall on both of our regular Poo XP 1000 ATV's, they put reflective panels in above the exhaust to prevent overheating of the fender on the exhaust side..never had any recalls on our RZR XP 1000 SXS though.

    We're at the very large local Poo/Doo dealer every week, they are family friends of ours, they were begging I come to work for them some years ago, we helped them with getting items during the Covid farse... they never mentioned any fires on Poo ATV's/SXS's which I'm sure they would have as I converse with them a lot about wheelers and sleds while we're there.

    They've been to my home numerous times and I gave the owner many cords of free firewood.

    I had to quit right at that point. Sorry Don ... I'm a fan of Polaris products, but their track record with quality control issues over the past 5+ years (or longer when it comes to SxS fires) isn't exactly living up to that statement I quoted.

    Ya know we SXS's ride every week, only SXS fire we ever came across was a CanAm SXS, few years back on the Big Chip there was a Doo sled burning up after he jumped over the CTH CC.

    Polaris might not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of the world’s largest automakers, but it absolutely should be. Founded in 1954 in Roseau, Minnesota, Polaris built its reputation in the snow by being the pioneers of the modern snowmobile. However, it soon evolved into a juggernaut in powersports, developing insane off-road vehicles, military-grade machines, and then developing beautiful motorcycles as well.

    Recently, I was invited to experience that legacy firsthand. What I learned is that Polaris isn't all about mass production or chasing the numbers game. Instead, the brand focuses on engineering excellence, relentless testing, and a true passion for adventure. That mindset fuels the team's innovation, all the way from Indian Motorcycles to the world-dominating RZR lineup.

    Small Towns, Big Dreams: The Wyoming And Roseau Facilities

    Polaris



    When I stepped into Polaris’ sprawling 300,000-square-foot Wyoming, MN facility, it became instantly clear that this is so much more than just another R&D and testing facility. Situated on over 700 acres of land, this is where all the magic happens. This is where the most rugged off-road vehicles, and Indian motorcycles, are conceptualized, tested, refined, and perfected.

    Again, it's in no way the largest facility I have visited, but every corner of the Wyoming facility breathes engineering and passion. It’s home to Polaris’ R&D hub for both their legendary off-road lineup and Indian motorcycles. From state-of-the-art durability testing chambers to futuristic sound labs (yes, sound matters a lot here), this place is a living, breathing beast of innovation.

    But what I have learnt in all my years visiting factories and OEM facilities across the globe, is that what sets them truly apart is the people who work there. I had the pleasure of meeting incredible minds like Jenna Lueck (Sr. Brand Marketing Manager), Cory Bombard (Director of Engineering), Alex Scheuerell (Director of Off-Road Motorsports), David Elia (Sr. Product Director), and Dave Borowicz (Production Director). These folks are passionate individuals who live and breathe the Polaris lifestyle. Their commitment, as well as the entire workforce, is visible in every product, every idea, every inch of this place.

    Then came the visit to Roseau. This was a more intimate, and much more specialized, part of Polaris’ operation, and one that left an even deeper impression on me.

    Firstly, Roseau is the birthplace of Polaris. It's only 10 miles away from the Canadian border. It's a very small town, and it's safe to say that the majority of its approximately 3,000 residents probably work for Polaris. And then, the facility itself is on a much smaller scale than the main Polaris production sites, but this one is mighty in impact. Here, a team of just 35–40 people assembled military vehicles for the US government, and now something extraordinary: Polaris formidable RZR Pro R Factory race machines.

    Polaris


    Polaris
    The RZR Pro R Factory isn’t built in large numbers. It’s not rolling off assembly lines by the hundreds. Instead, it's built by hand, with precision craftsmanship, using cutting-edge tech. The process is lean, precise, and packed with pride. Each component is assembled using a combination of manual expertise and highly specialized machinery. The vibe is closer to a Formula 1 garage than a traditional factory. Some of the components used in the vehicle are so complex that they are in fact used in F1 machines as well.

    Polaris
    What’s even cooler? This isn't a top-secret prototype for elite racers only. Anyone (with deep enough pockets) can place an order for the RZR Pro R Factory, which starts around $140,000. Even though it's built to order, using manystock RZR Pro Rcomponents (yes, the same parts you’d find at a Polaris dealership), this version is fine-tuned, race-prepped, and elite-tier capable.

    Polaris created this race monster after seeing how independent race teams were modifying stock RZRs—and often falling short. The company knew it could build something better to help these racing teams, and wow… did they ever.

    The RZR Pro R Factory: The Dakar Racer You Can Actually Buy—And It’s Insane

    Polaris


    Polaris
    Let’s talk about the real star here - the Polaris RZR Pro R Factory. This machine is absolutely insane. And I am not just saying that because we got to see it being built. We were given a hot lap in this vehicle which I will share in another article later, and it absolutely blew my mind - it’s a full-blown, engineering flex.

    Built for endurance, toughness, and domination, this vehicle made its presence known on the global stage at none other than the Dakar Rally—the most brutal, grueling off-road race on the planet. In its debut, American rookie driver Brock Heger and navigator Max Eddy Jr. totally crushed the competition. The duo won the SSV class at the 2025 Dakar Rally by a two-hour margin, leading the pack for 10 out of 12 stages.

    So, what makes this beast so unbeatable? Just the basics, really! Take a high-strength, lightweight chassis which is built meeting FIA SSV specs. Throw in the race-tuned ProStar Fury 2.0L, delivering 225 to 255 horsepower, with power delivered to a drive system with true 2WD/4WD/4WD Lock Pro Performance setup.

    Mate that to an automatic PVT with Low/High gearing. Throw in a rear-mounted radiator with dual 500W fans and integrated transmission cooler, And then let all of that sit on FOX Factory Race ESC EVO 3.0 Internal Bypass Shocks. All of that can then race over nearly 5,000 miles of Saudi desert terrain, which is the ultimate durability and reliability test.

    Polaris


    Polaris
    But here’s what’s very impressive, and the Polaris folks kept trying to drill this into our heads. Despite its racing pedigree, the Pro R Factory retains key components from the stock RZR Pro R—engine, driveline, suspension. That proves Polaris is building consumer vehicles tough enough for war zones and the world’s gnarliest terrain.

    Polaris: The Unsung Hero of American Engineering

    Polaris


    Polaris
    My visit to Polaris was a window into a world of passion, and performance. Whether in the sprawling Wyoming R&D center or the smaller, hyper-focused Roseau assembly line, one thing became clear to me: Polaris is king of powersports. This was further proved once we got to sample the RZR Pro R and the RZR Pro R Factory. Those experiences will be shared soon. So, stay posted.

    Polaris may not be one of the biggest names in automotive manufacturing, but they sure as hell are one of the most important when it comes to creating enthusiast vehicles. And after visiting the facilities, meeting the incredible people behind the machines, and witnessing the engineering marvel that is the RZR Pro R Factory, I want my own RZR Pro R now.

    Trump says a new 50% tariff on copper imports is coming

    CNN — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he’s imposing a new 50% tariff on all copper. However, it’s unclear when the new tariff would take effect.

    “Today we’re doing copper,” he said at a Cabinet meeting, adding that he believed the rate will be 50%.

    This would mark the fourth across-the-board tariff Trump has imposed during his second term. Currently, imported cars and car parts face a 25% tariff while imported steel and aluminum face 50% tariffs.

    Trump ordered a Section 232 investigation into copper imports in February.

    No one is saying 37 million kids should get a job. But maby their mom and her 5 'baby daddies' could get 1 or 2 and chip in.

    Always ready to excuse the piss poor choices of those under you... pathetic.

    But watching everyone else walk off to war while you slide can easily give you that type of attitude.

    That's what I was getting to, not the young kids getting jobs, but Dummy MC doesn't know have reading skills.
