Now a Virginia judge says the whole proposition does not pass the smell test and the vote Tuesday should be as if it never happened. That is fine with me. These kinds of policy issues presented for popular vote are usually a logical and grammatical mess. Blatant obfuscation is the order of the day. ...

Sure Pastor Doug is a real pastor. The question: is he a real disciple of Jesus of Nazareth? That also has an easy answer.

Amen. I have no trouble saying he left humanity in a better place because of what he did when he was walking this earth.

Not sure how much of a sinecure it is to be a federal judge. It is not that rare for such a judge to be impeached. It is rare for it to get MUCH publicity. Now the GOP senate will probably not approve an impeachment for any one for any thing. Like many processes in this Trump era, the GOP senate see...

Thank you General. Personal curiosity. Decimate. Once upon a time that was an objective, measurable, military objective of military commanders. Render one tenth of the enemy unit incapable of resistance, and the entire unit would collapse. But equipment, training (both physical and mental) got bette...

I added this here because it was the most recent post mentioning Clarence Thhmas.. My poorly curated news service via Yahoo sent me a headline about justice Thomas from AP News. It said Justice Thomas said in a speech covered by C-Span, that Progressives form an existential threat to the survival of...

Love it. I can easily imagine this used now in Psych 101 classes to demonstrate cognitive dissonance. 'Course some students would probably record it, complain to their parents, who would in turn contact the university president and get the instructor fired for polluting the minds of the precious inn...

I am ready to argue that Iran should NOT have Nukes. But also ready to argue that France, the Brits, North Korea, and particularly DJ Trump certainly should not have Nukes. I think it is also a dirty little secret that Israel has had them but not very many, probably as long ago as Pakistan. Iran cer...

Iran found a way to appeal to Trump's basic greed. They are gonna set up a toll booth in the Persian Gulf jointly operated by Trump and Iran. The toll booth will have Trump's name on it in big gold letters.

BSG, I don't believe you are anti-semitic. 'Course, I have a basic problem with that term anyway. A Semite is one who is part of a culture that communicates mostly via a language that is part of the Semitic language group. That includes Arabs and Palestinians and Hebrew speaking Jews as well as othe...

Thanks Andy, In my ignorance, I was accepting the general focus on the Persian Gulf as the only route for oil out of the area.

Two Week cease fire? Please note that Trump's public statements yesterday and Sunday said nothing about Israel as far as I could tell. (could be wrong, please inform me.) We could not even get two days before the missiles were flying in and out of Lebanon and Iran was corking the straits again. snai...

Decimate? Obliterate? Remember this is a life-long professional con-man. He has no idea how to use language for factual data transmission. Protocol question about the current Executive branch of the USofA government: Is the person who carries 'the football' (Nuclear weapons control codes) an active ...

It is my opinion that Trump was elected president, not because of the strong support of the MAGA people, but because of the strong feelings against the other candidate. The votes were not for Trump but against the other guy. It may be obsolete 'common knowledge' but back in the early 70's when I was...

The Michigan UP is a strange place. I moved to Delaware from the Michigan thumb area on Easter weekend, 1972. As I drove south, I saw lots of snowmobiles headed north to the UP. Today I learned that a grandson is partnered with a nice young lady who had a father that took the entire family camping i...

Depression is anger turned inward. This is an idea that causes me to think. If I have stumbled over it before, I ignored it, Now it has my attention.
Thank you. snailgate.

Yes, the differences in meanings and symbols between Easter and Passover are huge. Those differences are exactly why I believe one supports relationships that are destructive to the community and one supports relationships that strengthen the community.

Well, as the story goes in Genesis 6-9, He did loose control of his all-loving Grace and decided to wipe out all life on land and start over. Sometimes I wonder if much of the collective problems of mankind come from the too-narrow gene pool from Noah and his family. Many of us have just navigated o...

On further thought, this may be an opportunity for small business development. From reading about automobiles 'made in America' I believe a certain percentage of the total vehicle must be made in America, and the final assembly done here. Is that percentage calculated by mass? Perhaps an ambitious w...

Adults do carry legal responsibilities for the conduct of children under their care. Of course, too many present day adults find it completely un-Americn to declare that it takes a village to raise a child.
