Trump is a buffoon. The Middle East broadly, and Iran specifically know it. TACO Trump tried to bluff the Hormuz Strait open, offering arbitrary deadlines and dire consequences experts characterized as "war crimes". Then Trump caved. That doesn't even begin to address Iran's war reparations...

Generally I'm not enthusiastic about double-standards. That doesn't mean they don't exist. It's possible to be egalitarian domestically, internally, and to also not be internationally. The result of that would be the situation Israel finds itself with today. Jefferson outlined that reasoning...

So true. Is this relevant 4W ? As has been stated by Thomas Jefferson, “that government governs best that governs least”. It can also be said, “that government governs best that governs closest to home”. https://americancenterparty.org/governmental-philosophy/ In the Goldwater era, wasn't the...

Image captured from NBC-TV Nightly News April 7, 2026 ? "Vigilantes"? The above still image capture is from broadcast news intro. showing a U.S. navy jet fighter being catapulted from an aircraft carrier. Writing on U.S. aerial munitions isn't new. But in WWII it seems to have been...

For Iranians eager for change, Trump's latest words turn hope into terror The president's extreme statements leave many in the country dreading the future instead of hoping the war will help produce a fair society. DJ, It seems you could use a lesson on how to be a man, from a woman. So what...

President GWB's War of choice against Saddam? I believed then & now that War was son Pres. Bush's idea of teaching father Pres. Bush a lesson about how easy it would be to sweep into Baghdad and regime-change Iraq. "We'll be welcomed as liberators." mission accomplished - piffle -

- Soylent Green is people ! - Chuck Heston We have a baud rate problem R5. This post #467 will require a certain minimum amount of bandwidth to communicate. It's a modest post, low impact content, even if about end-of-the-world topic. BUT ! When it REALLY matters, on election day, the...

Israel isn't pure. Israel may go easy on gays, but remains unforgiving about foreskins. Saudi Arabia is about oil. Israel is about mohel. A little bit less unseriously: characterizing the egalitarianism of a nation, a culture by anecdote is folly. You knew that.

- fine - BUT ! Perpetrating fossil fuel commerce at production cost, instead of environmental impact cost is a shortcut to the flaming torments of Hell. 👿 The chlorophyll impregnated leaves that converted the sunlight into the raw material that additional geological forces converted into...

They haven't talked about that to me. They had better not. The U.S. as a nation, and as a People have forfeited the moral high-ground. The idea is: the POWs we capture on the battlefield are treated humanely, learn by our EXAMPLE that we are not to be feared or opposed, but valued and...

We can't responsibly dismiss the point. Problem is: a) We can't condemn a citizen for volunteering for military service to help defend their native nation's sovereignty. b) In the U.S., for those serving without a commission, that means a designated start date, and an approximate end date...

It may be a minor factor, but we may be victim of English. Either testament, or both combined might informally be called a "book", because any of the three can be presented in a single bound volume, also sometimes called a "book". BUT ! More precisely the Holy Bible is a combination of books...

For the record, and to promote clarity: It's not clear whether this substantial commitment to retrieve our wounded warrior was at Trump's insistence, or without it. Commenting on Senator John McCain (R-AZ) "He's not a war hero. He is a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like...

For many years Reagan was the Republican demigod. Paying the expense not merely to remove the solar panels, but to substitute an inferior substitute was insulting to Carter, and contemptuous / ignorant. And the U.S. electorate continued to vote Republican. The white house East wing...

James Earl ! Even if technically true, a misleading representation. Numerous reports from multiple sources indicate China is building up 3rd millennium military capability including a blue-water navy. Additional reports describe China's continuing escalating aggressions apparently...

I got the impression climatologists had calculated it fairly precisely. If we don't kill ourselves off first. You can't K-turn a battleship in a bathtub. Some reports I've read of it indicate if we dropped the increase in atmospheric CO2 to zero%, there's still a 100 year lag time before the...

The oft' truncated quotation is "ignorance is bliss". I gather the more complete paraphrase is: I genuinely know exceedingly little about it, but imagine it to deliberately be a forum for disclosing personal details. - insanity - If I want my friends to know, I will tell them. no worries
