The loss of six soldiers is a sad reality of military service. All service members understand that their profession carries real danger, and in any conflict, people can be killed. That is an unavoidable truth, and no one in uniform is unaware of it. The broader situation with Iran is complex, seriou...

When I was in the Air Force, the most you’d usually encounter in terms of religion was another member inviting you to their church, and that was it. Proselytizing in the military violates regulations. That’s one issue. The other is that Congress approves promotions for general officers, and you neve...

https://www.snopes.com/news/2026/03/03/us-troops-iran-armageddon-jesus/ This smells like a smear job. I was in the military, and I find it hard to believe that their names wouldn’t be leaked. I don’t think commanders would do this. No general officer or field‑grade officer is going to put his career...

Conspiracy theory that gives Trump too much credit: he started this war with Iran to drive up the global price of oil so it will become profitable for US oil companies to invest in Venezuela . My youngest granddaughter will be glad to hear that she’s a salesperson in the oil business in Texas and m...

I would not be surprised if Iranian agents in this country strike Trump, and I would be surprised they're not already some here. The borders were wide open for a long time. If they chose to strike back, especially with Trump most likely returning to the White House, short‑range missiles could be a c...

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is still U.S. law. It requires the President of the United States to notify Congress within 48 hours of introducing U.S. forces into hostilities, and it allows military operations for up to 60 days without congressional authorization, followed by a 30‑day withdrawal...

FWEIW, I gave up watching SOTU addresses years ago; one time they were the way that the president outlined his plan to the Congress and the American public, but it just degenerated into a pep rally where the trained monkeys of the president's party would clap wildly, and then people like Liberty wo...

Before the night is over, Democrats are going to be fuming mad, slobbering all over the place mad. By not standing, they effectively said that illegal aliens are more important than the safety of American citizens

There's nothing wrong with encouraging people to help other people. Snail's point (per Yeshua) is that we should not toot our own horn about how generous we are. This: When I visit fast‑food restaurants, which I do once or twice a week, I tip the person working the drive‑thru window a dollar when t...

As per Matthew 6:1-5. Do it quietly, anonymously Snailgate. What is wrong with encouraging people to do good? It’s such a small thing, but it can make a big difference in someone’s life — maybe even help them pay a bill. Some people simply can’t afford to give, and others… well, you’d need a crowba...

I challenge you all, everyone except Shit Head, to do small acts of kindness. When I visit fast‑food restaurants, which I do once or twice a week, I tip the person working the drive‑thru window a dollar when they hand me my food. I realize most people don’t do that. Maybe it’s because many can’t aff...

"no comparable sign language developed anywhere else on Earth" Sort of an extreme statement. Why not ASL? or the sign language developed in Western Catholic monastaries after vows of total silence became typical in the middle ages in Europe? snailgate The Catholic Church’s so‑called “sign language”...

It is often said that because of the complexity of the English language, it is an excellent technical language, capable of expressing very precise meanings. But I think the most important quality of any language is its usability, which matters far more than complexity. One of the most extraordinary ...

There are over 350 languages spoken in the USA. 68 millions Americans speak something other than English as their first language, but only 8% of Americans are limited proficiency in English. Now that I have read it again, it appears I did make a mistake. I misinterpreted what was written. I make mi...

There are over 350 languages spoken in the USA. 68 millions Americans speak something other than English as their first language, but only 8% of Americans are limited proficiency in English. By the way, English is not and never has been the official language of USA - no mater how much MAGA wank and...

It should be clear that many Puerto Ricans do not want to become Americans in the cultural sense. English is America’s unifying language, and almost everyone in the mainland speaks it. English has been taught in Puerto Rican schools since 1948, yet today only about 50% of the population speaks Engl...

I didn't 4realize that about size; I stand corrected. It's population is only around 2.6 million as I recall, not great, but bigger than many of the least populous states. It should be clear that many Puerto Ricans do not want to become Americans in the cultural sense. English is America’s unifying...

It cracks me up when people complain that they couldn't understand Bad Bunny's show because it was only in Spanish. Did those same people complain last year when Kendrick Lamar only spoke Jive?...... The video is blocked from being embedded here but you can watch it if you click here At least jive ...

Now I’m afraid that, in less than a generation, we will fight Russia, and we are much less prepared—especially psychologically—for what may come. It is most likely to happen in the Arctic, where they have the advantage. True, their forces there have been reduced somewhat, but their bases and suppli...
