Is it a ‘Peace Deal’ or just a ‘Ceasefire Agreement’?

It is two new modern entries in Ambrose Bierce’s The Devil’s Dictionary.

The term used on Trump’s side is something like “Formation of a Concept of a Plan” a diplomatic way of saying “Trump pulled this out of his ass alongside his enbedded head.”

The Islamic Arabic word for this is Hud…[Read more]

Interesting bit of little-taught American history there. First time I ever heard that.

Here’s something you never hear amid all the non-stop barage of anti-Israel hatred:

Israel actually has a micronation in it’s borders called Akhzivland, founded by Iranian Eli Avivi. Avivi legally resisted attempts by the Israeli government to seize…[Read more]

I knew I was getting old when my cellphone announced “Face not recognized” and I agreed with it 🙂

I once told some auditing Scientologists that if reincarnation were true, that I would like to return as “a football pitch in the West of Ireland for the ladies field hockey final on a warm but rain-soaked Sunday “. They were ‘shocked and disgusted’, much to my amusement.

“I don’t ask for enlightenment. I ask only to be useful, trampled up…

The IRGC just needs to survive. From them that is a win. Funding for its militia armies in Gaza and Lebanon – (Hamas and Hezbollah) – depends on that. Trump has won the war about 25 times already.
