Fellow Unbelievers:

Someone sadly never told Trump that this not a desireable aspiration to have:

Enco,

I think among Israelis there is probably a strong majority who see it that way. Being dependent on the Americans is a mistake. Political winds change as in democrats are in office and the lefty demonization of Israel leaves Israel high and dry. And i don’t think it will make much difference in terms of the next political faction in Israel…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Isreal shouldn’t feel singled-out though. Americans, too are dressed down and Patronized by Junkyard Dog Vance who tells us to “Have a little faith” in Donald “Healing Hands” Jebus!

You know, Israel might be better off without military aid from the U.S. and many wise Israelis have said so as well.

When so many refuse to even engage with a contrary position or argument that is religious behavior hopped up by algorithms. Those folks are not…[Read more]

Crowds dissolve responsibility. Alone, a person may hesitate but in a horde they become like the Walking Dead. They can feel carried by history, destiny, the movement, the nation, the market, the platform, the faith, the “will of the people.” That is intoxicating. It turns ordinary people into instruments of something they would never fully end…[Read more]

Jake:

The Wokester people accusing the woman of sexual harassment of the man are presuming a lot not found in evidence about the intentions of both. Blackmail also is a very serious criminal charge and both this and the particular pay dispute would require more facts to evaluate.

If none these people are legal clients, I’d give the whole…[Read more]
