- ha - Trump administration prepares for proposed $250 bill with the president’s face on it Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said his department stands ready to print the bills if Congress approves legislation allowing it.

A political slogan. According to Mitt Romney, "a lousy hat". BUT ! Not an accurate characterization of U.S. presidential policy. The reality is rather more the opposite. Example: Canada chooses Swedish early warning planes rather than US model Canadian Prime Minister Carney has said he...

Stupid people make me feel smart. :)

Some controversies, some issues are considered "zero-sum" *. Are they all? In our new millennium human vital organs such as kidneys can be therapeutically transplanted from a deceased donor to a dialysis patient. We have institutional assistance to facilitate such therapeutic vital organ...

This level of name-calling is relatively useful. It alerts us to the level of integrity to expect.

Blaming Trump for your rained-out picnic doesn't make any more sense than crediting Trump for a beautiful sunny day. President Truman established "The Buck Stops Here" oval office standard, his presidential acknowledgement of "passing the buck". Unmistakably this "for the first time on...

Two points: a) multi-culturalism is neither 100% beneficial, nor 100% detrimental. b) The 2002 Nord-Ost siege demonstrates some nations render hostage welfare the priority. Russia prioritized punishing the separatists, a difficult challenge for those on a suicide mission.

R5, It's not that your assertion quoted below it 100% false. It isn't. Neither is it 100% true. It's one side of a coin. And now, the other side of that coin: Facts About Moscow's 2002 Hostage Crisis At The Dubrovka Theater Apr 6, 2022 ... On October 23, 2002, militant Chechen separatists took...

The statute of limitations has its own intrinsic limits. We can't extract justice from or impose justice upon the dead. What Netanyahu is doing in Lebanon is an atrocity. Is what Trump has done in Iran much better? U.S. $Tax $Paying voters are party to much the same. “You cannot...

The satirical style is predictable. The ridicule component undeniable. "can't speak English" ? Perhaps. My interpretation is not Trump insufficient syntactic competence. Instead, I believe Trump is simply lying, implausibly so as usual. Superlatives are not only Trump's style. They're his...

That is one dynamic. Does such hatred survive generational change? A travelogue from Vietnam noted the bitter hatred between North Vietnamese and Americans. Yet generations born after the U.S. War there ended seem amenable to Westerners, including Americans. Whether that's genetic, meaning...

To the liberal Western mind "multi-cultural" might be considered a strength. Potentially it is. It's also a potential source of internal social or political friction, able to lower the standard of living at the location of friction & beyond. That may advantage Poland.

Seems like expert constructive criticism to me. I'm not yet committed to either side of the mend it or end it debate. But if the former, adequately addressing the examples you cited would require substantial modification / revision. Would you abide by a Crimean plebiscite on choice of...

This is why they hate US: That's a doughnut, with icing, and bacon. Bacon ! On a doughnut ! "Death to America ! "

Why Gertrude, have you lost weight?

- alright - To be clear, that truncated report is not about the outcome of his medical examination. After a patient is admitted to the hospital, and completes the procedure, the patient checks out of the hospital, reportedly "checking out perfectly" in this case. Nice to know Trump can do...

No example comes to mind of a human invention that started out horrible, and developed into something beneficial. The U.N. certainly leaves room for improvement. But in concept it seems to me like not such a bad idea. Is there a compelling argument against global coordination of nations...
