I saw the vid of this apparently Trump-staged encounter (Trump just happened to have a $100 $bill). It appeared Dd Gm was miked up, same style FM microphone television interview guests have installed on them before their segment is recorded. That would serve as additional preparation, in...

Thanks Bert. What you preparing for? Do you have enough food, water, & fuel supply to outlast whatever adversity you anticipate? I understand how endearing such a slogan can be to gun nuts. It's wrong. Over-engineering has its appeal. But it's ill-suited to aircraft design, among other things...

One explanation for the following pic: Trump has been taking such a drubbing in the media in context of his Iran War quagmire, Trump wanted publicity benefit from Trump "no tax on tips" policy. So he ordered fast food to his oval office. The following photo may not show it clearly, but it seems...

Some facts on the Canadian Francophonie Canada has a population of nearly 37 million people. French is the first official language spoken for 22.0% of the population. The majority of Francophones (84.1%) live in Quebec and close to 1 million live in other provinces and territories of the...

I would like the whole story on Russian / Putin involvement. Meanwhile, "drops lawsuit"? - Because it's a political hot potato? Too hot to handle? - Not worth the bother? - other ?

"federal funding to Catholic Charities in south Texas ..." ?! What has happened to Church / State separation ? Could be trouble if south Texas ever joins the union, right?

$Money - Who Is $Buying Your $Politicians ?$? How the AI and crypto industries are pouring tens of millions of dollars into elections An analysis of campaign finance reports shows the web of super PACs backing — and going negative on — candidates with funds from big-name executives and...

"A guy goes to the doctor and says, 'Hey doc, I think I'm going deaf.' Doctor says, 'Oh, that's really unfortunate. Can you describe the symptoms for me?' Guy says, 'Yeah, Homer is a fat yellow man and Marge has blue hair.'" :)

Without this match, marinas near law firms would anchor smaller yachts.

The truck-mounted equipment had been purchased by Iraq from France? Or the graphics of the equipment had been purchased by the U.S. from France? Personal note: I thought of Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Colin Powell as an inspirational national treasure. His promotion from lowest...

Not clear to me how the "new law" changes any of that. If parents had access before, don't they still? The text in #1,519 alleges action required of doctors. I'm not an expert on this, BUT ! no statute can override / overrule attorney / client privilege. And if not that, why this? That may...

MD's are off the hook, as compliance would require violation of doctor / patient privilege. loco parentis

And we can thank President Trump for sending VP JD to seal the deal ? Best wishes to the voters that trew da bum out. Meanwhile JD is building for himself a foreign policy track-record, one substantial failure after another, both Iran and Hungary in one month.

I did not know that. What I find spectacularly un-funny is: - During the 8 year of the GWB administration UBL killed ~3,000 innocent Americans, earning himself #1 on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list. - During that same 8 year period President GWB killed thousands more innocent Americans than...

Yes BUT ! It's difficult to sort out how much of that reflects: - the bias of the author/s - the social structure of the time - JC's personal preference

Secrecy about legislative actions on our own economy is certainly a contradiction. But we live in a very dangerous world. And unfortunately we need secrecy to sustain our intelligence gathering, etc. We have some safeguards in place, for example, our CIA limited against spying on U.S. citizens...

Thereby creating a Frankenstein argument, a semantic façade for an unjustifiable position. Morality is about judgment. Ethics is about rules of conduct (based on morality). [from sear's notes]

... leaving it to the pseudo-Christians to fill in the gaps adding the pretense of divine legitimacy to their own deep-seated, destructive bigotry. Important note: I've met several Christians in my long life. There are several consistencies among them, including rather than brandishing their...
