Didn't Trump announce the U.S. had neutralized Iranian air-defenses, before Iran shot down two of our attacking jet aircraft? I just checked @ https://www.whitehouse.gov/ Previous administrations have provided text transcripts of major presidential addresses. This Sunday afternoon, I couldn't...

Didn't Trump suggest splitting tolls with Iran? note: The following mention of the 25th Amendment refers to removal of a currently serving president: Ex-Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene [MTG] joins left-wing calls for the 25th amendment as Iran deadline nears President Donald Trump has...

S2 #157 I don't disagree. I believe that's not the whole story. Seems to me Trump grossly misunderestimated Iran & her leadership. At superficial glance one might imagine Trump / Vance / Rubio / Hegseth got played. Call it whatever you like, doesn't seem any more complicated to me than Trump...

Heroic ignorance. Thank gosh Canada is the only nation in the Americas with such a ding-bat politician.

Yes indeed ! Trump's message to Iran is precisely opposite the non-proliferation message. Trump's malicious message, comply or we'll bomb Iran "back to the stone ages where they belong." televised Trump on Iran War 26/04/01 This not only sends the wrong message to Iran, also to the rest of the...

Tehran rebuffs American red lines as Vance leaves Islamabad empty-handed Vance says US-Iran talks end without deal after 21 hours of negotiations The vice president said Iran refused to commit to not developing a nuclear weapon during talks in Islamabad By Michael Sinkewicz Fox...

Irony is when someone writes "Your an idiot." A misplaced modifier walks into a bar owned by a man with a glass eye named Ralph. "Let's eat grandma!" "Let's eat, grandma!" Punctuation saves lives.

Balfour was conceptually imperfect, but I'm not aware of any intrinsically unacceptable principle for a Jewish homeland. BUT ! They could have chosen a less controversial patch of real estate. Too much blood has already been shed, & injustice inflicted contesting it.

iirc Senator Clinton voted with the Bushies in favor of waging War on Iraq. I never believed GWB's casus belli against Saddam, with the brief & feeble exception of Secretary Powell's presentation to the U.N. General Assembly. Even then my reason was not plausibility of Powell's presentation...

That might be worse than my reason for opposing her. Trump ought not be running again, the Constitution prohibits it. BUT ! Trump ought not have run in 2024, the Constitution prohibits it. Ironically, Secretary Clinton was more respected by those that worked with her than the general...

Even if I ever saw the designation, I didn't know what it meant. Social media have changed how humans interact. Is it too early to know whether the net affect is to draw us closer together, or isolate us? Either way I suspect it's degrading our face-to-face social skills. Problem with that, we...

Spit Happens Under Netanyahu's leadership Israel is sowing the seed of perpetual war. That's Israel's issue. Under Trump's leadership the U.S. taxpayer is party to Israel's carnage. Our $cost of gasoline may be an immediate quantifiable consequence. It is not the only consequence. Consider...

P II of II "Rep" is an abbreviation of the word "reprehensible". And while basically there's nothing wrong with a Higgins, the Clay ones are improved by firing them. Shall we kiln them all?

P I of II It's a simple example of cognitory non-meshism. Bloke skipped a cog. He used the word "intercontinental", so he's obviously an expert in the precise science of

Mr. President, The prefix "deci-" in decimate means one tenth, as in the word deciliter. So your phrase "complete decimation" is oxymoronic, or in your case sir, moronic. Decimate originally referred to the killing of every tenth person, a punishment used in the Roman army for mutinous legions.
