Re: Looks like there was a good guy with a gun after all
But Hegseth will put in their places steroid taking lunkheads who look fit, and are pretty much as smart as he is and clueless as to how to run a brigade, division, or army (or the naval and air force equivalents); people who value defined rules of engagement. There is a Russian saying: 'Strong lik...

Re: Trump's Greatest Hits...
I did one of those years ago - I thought I'd had a stroke (I hadn't). About the hardest part was counting backwards from 100 in 7s. Actually I'd love it if he, AOC and Jasmine Crockett took an IQ test. It's called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test - it's on line.

Re: Do You Get Tired of Being a Hypocrite? Bill Clinton Did This.
Per lib: The thing is, most Americans don't give one iota about Stormy Daniels or Trump's relationship with her. As you say, most of us don't give an iota. Trump can screw whom he likes, it's his business and Melania's. What he cannot do is disguise his reimbursement for this encounter as a business...

Re: Donald Trump explains autism for you
I took the trouble to read the paper by Prada et al which Trump and Kennedy used as their source. Had they actually read it, they would have seen this as the first sentence in the 'Conclusions' section. Our analysis demonstrated evidence consistent with an association between exposure to acetaminoph...

Re: As Expected, Donald Had Much to Say at Charlie Kirk's Memorial
So Charlie Kirk was a better man than D Trump. That actually may be the nicest thing I can say about Mr Kirk. Mind you, it's a fairly low bar.

Re: Irony
You may have seen the movie 'Ten Rillington Place' about a famous murder which occurred in London in 1949. Timothy Evans was executed for the murder. It later transpired that his landlord, John Christie, had carried out several murders at the same address: Christie was apprehended, tried and execute...

Re: Looks like there was a good guy with a gun after all
I watched the press conference this morning. Several requests for prayers - and, from Governor Cox, one account of an unanswered prayer but I'm not sure why that was. I always assumed that Utah, being a LDS state, got more than its fair share of answered prayers which shows how much I know. Kash Pat...

Re: Looks like there was a good guy with a gun after all
I couldn't have put a name to Kirk but I had read and knew of him and his ilk. I suppose what it amounts to is that had I been in a dark forest with him, and I had a gun, and I knew I could get away, I would not have pulled the trigger. If that makes me a wishy washy liberal and soft, then so be it....

Re: Looks like there was a good guy with a gun after all
I think Charlie Kirk was a POS but that is not the same as wanting him dead. Maybe Putin is up there in the rarefied ranks of people I would like to see dead - there might be 5 or 20 in the world but Kirk is and always was a long long way from that list. In a piece written by Bess Levin in Vanity Fa...

Re: What is an American?
I really dislike long speeches which are read - you can always tell. I want to say - if you've taken the trouble to write it out, give it here and instead of listening to you for 30 minutes I'll read it to myself in 10.

Blowing up a boat in international water
No way is a speedboat with three outboards going to make it to the US. CONUS is maybe 2000 miles from Venezuela. Per Mr Google a 150 HP Mercury will do about 6.4 mpg - three of them, 2000 miles will need about 1000 gallons of gas - no way. And if it was really smuggling drugs why would they have a c...

Trump wants to go to Heaven
I'm on Trump's mailing list. He offered me a cabinet post a while back and I must have been less than enthusiastic about the opportunity or, more precisely, failed to offer an appropriate check. This time: *************** Friend, I want to try and get to Heaven. Last year I came millimeters from dea...
