Re: European Culture
The United States does not have a European culture. What we have is a Western Judeo‑Christian culture influenced by the Enlightenment and a concern for individual rights That is the theoretical basis of European culture - so you're saying nothing of any value. It is not the basis of the current adm...

Re: Terrorist Blonde Woman Rams ICE Vehicle!!
But the larger issue is that they were in a state of war. What worries me is the intensity of the political climate here. Some activists on the far left see their cause as a moral crusade. They don’t view federal agents as people doing a job, but as symbols of something they believe is evil, Nazis ...

Re: Terrorist Blonde Woman Rams ICE Vehicle!!
Things that never happened: she clipped the agent with the front fender, spinning him around. From the rear view, you can see him spinning around and limping afterward. And there's further video showing him walking quite normally along the road toward the by now crashed car. Not limping. Not horribl...

Bias or just one ass?
Going into the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors, President Trump — who hand-picked the honorees and emceed the event — promised the “highest-rated show that they’ve ever done.” However, according to Nielsen data, the December 23rd broadcast ended up drawing only 3.01 million viewers, a 26% year-over-year...

Re: Political Bias
Indeed, maybe the most noteworthy part of the Minnesota welfare fraud story is that it became such a big story at all. Again, I assume that's because these alleged frauds revolve around a pair of politically convenient topics: the Somali immigrant community in Minnesota and the state's hapless gove...

Re: Political Bias
I’ve been waiting to see what would happen, and I am not surprised that no one on this board has mentioned the Minnesota welfare‑fraud case involving the “Feed Our Future” program. . . .So why hasn’t it been mentioned here? Could it be political bias? Are you accusing yourself of not mentioning it ...

Re: A man who made a real positive difference in the world
Sue, in South Africa there is no self-service at petrol pumps. There are two reasons: 1. it provides employment for 6-10 people at every station and it is expected that they will be tipped b. a significant number of self-serve customers would drive off without paying Reason a. is the main one though...

Re: Brigitte Bardot is dead
Just because someone is pragmatic doesn’t make them a hater. Just to clarify . . . are you suggesting that Bardot exemplifies pragmatism by being a fascist, bigot, racist, homophobe, xenophobe, Islamophobe and an antisemite,? Or are you being pragmatic in disregarding her having been a fascist, big...

Political stunt? Sounds just like . . .
The head of the Kennedy Center in Washington DC has demanded $1m (£740,000) in damages from a musician who cancelled a concert after US President Donald Trump's name was added to the venue. The centre's president Richard Grenell wrote in a letter that the cancellation was a "political stunt", "has ...
