   NFL (NSDA) Thursday File

   By Team Chillz

   This weeks Thursday (or Saturday rather) file includes THREE disadvantages for NFL Nationals. In addition to updates to the GOP and Dems DA's for midterms, there is a brand new Highway Trust Fund DA that is perfect NFL. The Highway Trust Fund will be out of money by August and 700,000 people will be out of jobs. The Disad says that Congress will reach a bipartisan deal to keep infrastructure projects funded and that these projects are vital to competitiveness and economic growth. The plan would disrupt this bipartisan compromise because it is unpopular in Congress etc etc.
    
   In the wake of Eric Cantor's surprising defeat in his Virginia primary, this weeks file also includes updates in the world of midterms.
    
   Finally, the file includes answers to any possible agenda disadvantage you could possible debate this weekend. Enjoy!
    
   This week's file was authored by Chris Carey, a sophomore debate at the University of Kansas. As a college debate, Chris has participated in the outrounds of CEDA, UMKC, and several other tournaments.

   Thursday File, 4/10/20104

   By binghamtondebate

   This Thursday file includes a whole new scenario on the Middle East Peace Process as well as an Immigration Reform DA. In addition, it includes updates on patent reform, minimum wage, tpp, and nsa. As a bonus the file includes a Delay CP (which will solve for all the politics scenarios since most votes are coming up within the next week or so) as well as a DeDev impact turn frontline (since a lot of politics impact scenarios are the economy).
    
   The file was made by Joe Leeson-Schatz, Director of Debate at Binghamton University

   Thursday file 3-13

   By klucas

   It's a bit of a slow week in politics, but that won't stop cross-x from bringing you the best politics stuff out there. This weeks scenario is minimum wage hike, which is being pushed by Obama and fellow dems. It includes econ and poverty impacts, with a few extra turns case goodies. We also have updated the UQ for Iran sanctions, and CIR, as well as giving you a litany of aff answers.
    
   This week's file was authored by Luke Hartman and Kyle Klucas , two debaters at k-state, who collectively have attended a number of national level tournaments, and assist in coaching local Kansas debate.

   By ARGogate

   This week's Thursday File brings back the Iran Sanctions DA. The GOP has restarted a push in the Senate since most of the other major controversial bills have been taken off the table. The file contains everything you need to kick off the weekend with a strong politics scenario, as well as some innovative answers to aff arguments.
    
   Additionally, updates have been included for Immigration, minimum wage, and Ukraine, if you prefer those
    
   Included are a collection of updates to supplement your generic politics answers, such as new PC fails, winners win, and fights good cards - these are a must-have for any debater
    
   Aff answers are also included, including impact turns to minimum wage increase and new internal link defense for TPA
    
   This week's file was authored by Akash Gogate, a freshman debater at Emory University who has debated at many national tournaments in high school and college.

   Thursday File February 20, 2014

   By Team Chillz

   This week's file features the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) DA. The TPA prevents Congress from adding amendments to previously negotiated trade deals and would make it easier for the president to finalize those deals. The file includes an econ/competitiveness impact as well as an Asia Pivot argument.
    
   The file also includes a few cards for the Iran Sanctions DA as well as the Immigration DA, if that is your thing.
    
   Finally, the file includes answers to all of the scenarios mentioned above as well as thumpers for any other scenario.
    
   This week's file was authored by Chris Carey, a sophomore debater at the University of Kansas. As a college debater, Chris has participated in the outrounds of CEDA, UMKC, and several other tournaments.

   Thursday File 2-13-14

   By South-X

   This week's Thursday File brings you everything you could want for high school's biggest debate weekend. It includes 100% new evidence this week and updates for Iran, Immigration and TPA. In accordance with our tradition this week's file is authored by a group seeking to raise money for a debate charity the Indianapolis Urban Debate League.
    
   Iran sanctions is the headliner in this file. The reason this scenario has staying power is because the Israel lobby has a lot of clout. It still makes sense in relation to the topic because Iran is very isolated from most 1AC impacts, and has very powerful interactions with multilateralism advantages.
    
   Immigration reform has a less clear road ahead of it, but is still a major agenda item along with TPA. Even if you don't read these as the negative the extensive 2AC and 1AR blocks that are round ready will make sure that you are prepared to deal with these scenarios.
    
   This week's file was authored by members of the University of Indiana debate team. The team has made resurgence in policy debate since its 2009 're-forming'. It is closely associated with the University's excellent School of Public and Environmental Affairs and its members are nationally competitive.

    Thursday File 1-30

    By thedudelacan

    Politics for this week is a bit murky, mostly from a STOU that focused on executive orders rather than legislation. This week's file includes Trade Promotion Authority as the primary DA. TPA is still possible, but Obama didn't do himself any favors by barely mentioning fast track in his SOTU speech, thus the uniqueness is not as strong as it was last week. While strong arguments against passage of TPA, especially since Harry Ried came out against the legislation yesterday.
     
    Immigration remains a strong option and there is momentum to pass. Although Obama didn't provide much support in the STOU address,, the House Republicans realize that passing some kind of immigration reform may be necessary for midterm elections. You should look out as to what happens later today regarding the House Republican's announcement regarding their immigration objectives. This may have an impact on the DA's uniqueness.
     
    Iran is possible, but the uniqueness evidence may be too good. There doesn't seem to be much hope for a vote to happen.
     
    Other possibilities including Debt Ceiling and Minimum wage are included, but do not seem to be viable possibilities for this week.

    Thursday File Jan. 23

    By rwgallow

    There are a lot of different scenarios this week. I would run either Iran or immigration reform. Here is my breakdown of the literature on the different scenarios.
     
    Iran: I would run Iran. The uniqueness is now going in the direction of the Menendez/Kirk legislation not passing, as two key Democrats have moved against the legislation in the last couple of days (Patty Murray and Elizabeth Warren). The impacts are spectacular, as even passage of the Menendez/Kirk bill would tank the Geneva accords, leading to a risk of Israeli strikes and Iranian proliferation. You don’t have a debate that is tied up in the economy, and you get large external impacts. You might have a little trouble with Uniqueness overwhelms the link, as it seems there is little chance of getting to the 67 votes to override the presidential veto (the measure has 59 votes now).
     
    Immigration reform: it is viable, and would be my second choice. There are a lot of cards saying it will pass now, as the Republicans feel they must pass it quickly so they can begin campaigning for the midterms. I have two issues with immigration reform. First, the evidence that says Obama isn’t pushing it and giving the Republicans space to make a deal is very good—he isn’t investing political capital right now. Second, the impact is always a bit sketchy, as it is a long term economy style scenario that the AFF can probably access.
     
    Unemployment benefits: I think this is a weak scenario. It probably won’t pass, as it got wrapped up in the overall employment bill and failed two procedural votes. The impact isn’t very good—the benefits are a drop in the bucket and are merely a redistribution of existing funds. Finally, it’s an economy scenario, which has empirically denied impacts and the AFF can probably access.
     
    Debt ceiling: While possible, the fight isn’t till mid-February, and the evidence that the Republicans will cave and not make big demands this time is very good. While the NEG will try to spin this as uniqueness, I think the uniqueness overwhelms the link. Plus, the markets aren’t scared of a default this time so the “cause a fight which freaks out the markets†story isn’t very true.
     
    Midterms: Too early and Obamacare is key to the election. Not much more to say.
     
    TPP: There are some good specific thumpers, and it doesn’t look like it’s coming up for a vote.
     
    All proceeds from this week’s Thursday File go to support the Howard College of Arts & Sciences minority scholarship.
     
    Good luck, and feel free to email me any questions at rwlcgalloway@gmail.com.
     
    Sincerely,
    Dr. Ryan W. Galloway
    Director of Debate

It first bring you all the cards you need to run immigration reform in the new year, and to answer many of the common arguments that are popping up against the DA. In addition for the AFF there are 2AC blocks for Tax reform and unemployment, two other likely scenarios.

    Thursday File, January 2, 2014

    By thedudelacan

    The first Thursday file for 2014 includes Immigration Reform and Iran sanctions as complete 1NC ready arguments. The file also contains evidence for extending unemployment benefits and midterms that could easily be developed into viable disadvantages. Your best bet for this weekend is probably immigration reform. There is new optimism that the House is willing to take up immigration when they get back to work on the 6th.
     
    This week's file is by Donny Peters, Assistant Director of Forensics at California State University Fullerton. Donny has coached many successful teams in CEDA and NDT at CSUF, Illinois State University, Wayne State University and West Virginia University.

    Thursday File 12-12

    By bencosmef

    This week's Thursday File was a little delayed because the budget deal was still be debating and the best scenario was unknown for much of the day. In the end given the current state of the budget deal the best scenario for this weekend was Iran sanctions. This week's file updates the scenario.
     
    Iran contains a big external impact to most AFFs. Because Obama is trying to prevent legislation it is much more realistic that he is able to do this in the current political climate. The file is primarily update with all the 1NC and 2NC uniqueness cards from today, and the backfile necessary to run the DA.
     
    This week's author is Francisco Becosme, he debated at Wake Forest University where he appeared in the octofinals of Harvard, Texas, and GSU, and was invited to participate in the prestigious Pittsburgh Round Robin. Currently, he is a capitol hill staffer who actually works in this area every day. He has in the past helped the Bronx Science team and has coached numerous successful high school teams.

    Thursday File - 12/5

    By twoAC

    This week's Thursday file contains two viable scenarios - the farm bill and Iran sanctions.
     
    Farm bill - the existing farm bill will expire at the end of the calendar year. If a new bill doesn't get passed by then food prices will spike and we get to see our own version of The Hunger Games. Seriously though, it would be bad for food prices and the file includes extensive evidence backing that up.
     
    Iran sanctions - While a preliminary deal may have been reached, Congress wants to pass a package of sanctions that will be triggered if Iran reneges on the deal. Your argument is that such a package would signal that our negotiations were in bad faith and collapse the deal, enabling Iran prolif.
     
    The file also includes affirmative answers to these scenarios and other DAs like immigration reform and ENDA,
     
    Good luck this weekend and may the odds be ever in your favor,
    BGM
     
    I debated for four years at Groves High School in Beverly Hills, MI. During my senior year I debated almost exclusively on the national circuit, reaching elimination rounds at East Grand Rapids, New Trier, and Harvard. I have debated for four years at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI, clearing at regional and national tournaments and during the 2011-12 season qualifying for the NDT. As a coach for Seaholm High School my debaters have reached elimination rounds at local and national tournaments.

    Thursday File 11-21-2013

    By South-X

    This week's file focuses on Iran Sanctions. Right now, Obama is involved in meetings in Geneva with the P5+1. They're making progress, but can only come to an international agreement on Iran IF congress doesn't unilaterally pass the Iran legislation that is in the house. So, it's a little different spin to your usual political capital causes X legislation to pass This nuance should help you with teams who don't understand the DA, it is also very unique because it requires stopping legislation which is much more feasible in the current political landscape than other DAs. The impacts are huge from Iran, and should be external to most Latin America affirmatives.
     
     
    We have included in the file AFF answers to Iran, Immigration, SNAP, and ENDA. Politics are in flux right now and you need to be prepared to answer a wide variety of positions. Neg updates are also included for immigration and ENDA. The backfile for those disads are in this weeks TF so you can run ANY of the three DAs mentioned. This file should provide you all the flexibility to finish your semester strong.
     
    
     
     
    This file was written by Ross and Stephanie Garrett. Ross Garrett is an assistant debate coach at Kent Denver, and has previously coached for New Trier, Mountain Brook, and Samford University. His students have won top speaker at Blake, won the Emory tournament, appeared in elimination rounds at the TOC, and have received TOC bids at tournaments around the country. Samford appeared in the octofinals of the NDT and was ranked in the top 25 poll throughout his tenure. Stephanie Garrett is the head debate coach at Kent Denver, her teams have appeared in the elimination rounds at Wake Forest, Iowa Caucus, Alta and finals of JV Glenbrooks this season, and are the Colorado state champions.

    Thursday File 11/14

    By thedudelacan

    Immigration is nearly dead, and is probably dead for the foreseeable future so I have created 2 possible replacements. First is the Employment Non-discrimination Act or ENDA. This is a bipartisanship da, not a political captial. ENDA is key to stop employment discrimination against those who identify as LGBT. Bipart is key to get the bill to the floor where the evidence is rather conclusive that there is a majority who will vote for the bill. The second DA is an Iran sanctions political capital da. The Obama administration is working on a deal for Iran to stop is nuclear weapons program. There is good reason to think this deal will be done by the end of the month. Both Democrats and Republicans are against providing any significant concessions to Iran, thus they are working on legislation to block Obama from lifting any sanctions and they plan to add more. So in the status quo they can't get sanctions passed, but Obama needs is political capital prevent passage. Plan takes Obama's capital away, sanctions are passed and no Iran deal. I have included the Immigration DA in case you do not want to give up on it. Finally, the file provides many uniqueness answers regarding Obama's ability to influence, or Congress getting anything done.

    Thursday File 11-7

    By chiefs

    This week's Thursday file breaks new ground on immigration. Obama has just enough capital to get immigration through. The file has a litany of new cards and internal link evidence. This file includes amazing new impact defense to the common impact scenarios as well.

    Thursday File - 10/31

    By twoAC

    This week's Thursday file is all treats, no tricks. It updates the immigration reform disad that has been developing over the past few weeks, including plenty of cards from the past couple days that will help you scare your opponents into submission. Also included are affirmative answers to immigration, the Iran DA, and some other disads that have been creeping their way into the college debate circuit like the TPA, Farm Bill, and the 2014 midterms DAs. As an added bonus, I have included a new uniqueness card for the China SOI DA, as well as some random impact updates I have found in the last few weeks. Think of this as a king size candy bar at a fun size price. Happy Halloween, all! Hope to see you in Ann Arbor this weekend.
     
    I debated for four years at Groves High School in Beverly Hills, MI. During my senior year I debated almost exclusively on the national circuit, reaching elimination rounds at East Grand Rapids, New Trier, and Harvard. I have debated for four years at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI, clearing at regional and national tournaments and during the 2011-12 season qualifying for the NDT. As a coach for Seaholm High School my debaters have reached elimination rounds at local and national tournaments.

    Thursday File 10-22 - Immigration

    By roarkdebate16

    This week’s Thursday File brings you an updated version of the immigration disadvantage. Following the shutdown/debt ceiling debate, Obama emerged the winner and has the upper hand moving forward on immigration reform. However, he needs to maintain his political capital to shepherd a deal in the House that will garner Republican support. The uniqueness evidence is even better than last weeks. Also included are a wide variety of aff responses including no pass cards, a2 obama’s pc, and reasons the bill will inevitably be delayed but pass later. Additionally, there are some general thumpers/gridlock cards to deal with any other potential DA’s you might encounter. Happy debating

    After a CRAZY week in politics, there are some new big things going on. I might be a little tired after staying up to catch up, so bear with me…
    Immigration is back, and it’s not bad. There are some will pass cards, mostly predicated on Obama’s overwhelming victory in the shut-down fight. I went ahead and included a robust defense of the impacts to immigration reform as well as the updated uq since Obama’s Tuesday speech on Univision where he said he would push immigration reform first after the government closed.
    I also wrote an Iran disad--Congress is rallying to increase sanctions on Iran now right after the government opens up—Obama will need political capital to decrease sanctions on Iran and prevent Iranian nuclear proliferation.
    I put in answers to any new debt ceiling disad is months away, and looks weak after the Republicans capitulated this time. There is also a smattering of cards suggesting that the debt ceiling win might increase chances of a Democratic House take-over in 2014, so I included a couple of answers.
    
    Also, all my profits from this week’s Thursday File will go toward a minority scholarship in the College of Arts & Sciences at Samford University.
     
    Ryan Galloway is the director of Debate at Samford University, with a Ph.D. from the University of Georgia, he also coached for Augustana and Baylor. Samford has had NDT octofinalists and top 25 teams during his tenure. He has worked with multiple NDT first round bid teams, and was named third best judge of the decade by his peers. He has regularly judged the elimination rounds of the NDT, TOC, and NDCA championship, and was a first round bid debater himself as a debater for George Mason University.

    Thursday File 10-10-2013

    By bencosmef

    Just when it looked like there was no real hope for a politics DA a new proposal is being thrown out to avoid the debt ceiling, and this week our file is up to date on that situation. An 11th hour proposal to raise the debt ceiling temporarily (about 6 weeks) to make time for negotiations and avoid default is now on the table. The proposal itself generated strong gains in the stock market proving just how viable resolving the debt ceiling is. This file was made by not only a great debate mind but also someone who actually works as a Capitol Hill staffer right now. Find out more about the author and file below.
     
    While you might think that the government shutdown means that no politics scenario really has any impact the debt ceiling is really what has been moving markets. The markets went up even after the shutdown; it was only when there was talk about defaulting that they really reacted. The impact scenario for debt ceiling is still very real. Obama actually gave a press conference this week where he indicated that a lot of the executive workarounds are not legally viable damaging a lot of affirmative answers. Finally, it could never be a better time for the link scenario, how bizarre would it be for Obama to try and inject discussions about Latin America into the current debate, he already cancelled 1 foreign policy trip for this very reason.
     
    This week's author is Francisco Becosme, he debated at Wake Forest University where he appeared in the octofinals of Harvard, Texas, and GSU, and was invited to participate in the prestigious Pittsburgh Round Robin. Currently, he is a capitol hill staffer who actually works in this area every day. He has in the past helped the Bronx Science team and has coached numerous successful high school teams.
