Translation: He hasn't read them.

We could address the Christmas card DC sends to Tehran to: Irritable Diaper Hats. There's plenty we could do, including a tersely worded message, trade sanctions, etc. Freudian penis?

Even if you're right, it's immaterial. The issue here is not "original intent" of the Holy Qur'an's authors. Instead it's whatever misinterpretation today's blood-thirsty charlatans pretend that it means, to facilitate their homicidal agenda, bogus divine imprimatur and all. And while an...

Our methods may not be perfect. I wouldn't leverage that into an excuse to abandon all U.S. intelligence gathering. It's a dangerous world. I sincerely hope the above quoted source does not detail 100% of our sources and methods. I'd like to believe we have additional sources of information...

This meme is presented in a form that may be mistaken for satire, or hyperbole. Seems to me these translations are substantially true. Example: "You're going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost." candidate Trump 16/10/25 from campaign podium “Nobody knew that...

Can you cite an authoritative source to corroborate this? Bitter experience over the generations has informed / persuaded me either position can be supported by holy scripture. Obvious example: "an eye for an eye" vs "turn the other cheek". The Holy Qur'an? "...slay the infidels...

Not clear to me where you're getting your disinformation. Prestigious sources contradict your position: What are the telltale clues of covert production? “The production of either plutonium or highly enriched uranium is a major operation that requires people and time,” says Kemp. The...

The following insight from explains why in this case Trump's ostensible "America First" policy may be substantially contributing to making Trump's America second. The message appears straightforward: Countries that challenge US economic power should expect to pay a price. But coercion has...

Thank you for corroborating my position. Worth noting: pyramid schemes do not collapse because of revenue they derive. They collapse because their revenue is not sufficient to satisfy their liabilities. "A fool & his $money, soon parted." cliché BUT ! We can acknowledge that religion is...

If you're citing the current Trump / Netanyahu War on Iran, I agree. I do not endorse it. I oppose it. The current headlines about it, whatever they may be, are reason enough for my unreserved opposition to this War. Instead, I rather more endorse the Obama administration's JCPOA we implemented...

Splendid. What's the alternative? Allow global malefactors to plot total global cataclysmic genocide, because it "is beyond the authority of a democratic republic" to preserve constructive prosperity for over 8 Billion with a B humans? If you're standing on the dock, and you see a helpless...

My perception of Islam would be substantially less grim if the ostensible majority of Muslims of good conscience worldwide stood up in unity and forcefully, vehemently condemned the lawless violence of the implied malicious minority, al Qaeda, ISIL, the Taliban, etc. They do not. Why do they...

I'm nearly as much a sucker for sappy superficiality as any other human. BUT ! We needn't dig very deep to see a more representative, horrifying reality. CERTAINLY in the U.S. in context of the Middle East, a geographic area nearly synonymous with strife, confluence and unity is welcome, even...

Szasz, a sensible guy. "gambling": The problem with gambling is not the friendly game with men male-bonding in a smoke-filled room once a month. It's the compulsive personality that first gambles away his earnings, and then compounds his problem by gambling more in hope of winning it back. The...

"The fact that Americans speak about "legalizing" abortion, gambling, marijuana, and so forth shows that they no longer look down on their government as their servant but look up to it as their master. For to legalize is to permit; and to permit implies a relationship between a superior and a...
