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!

Fellow Unbelievers:

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

Not only would they have the flexibility to get their arms from many sources instead of just U.S. suppliers (as is required by conditions of U.S. aid), but Israel wouldn’t have to put up with getting dressed…[Read more]

Reg and Jake:

I meant to add another Bierce-ism I paraphrase from a bumper sticker I saw years ago:

Little Big Horn–A litigious battle in which General George Armstrong Custer was Sioux-ed.

Reg:

Trumps treaty with Iran was the greatest Treaty of Versailles. If it gets broken he should sign the next one in Fort Laramie. Does Little Big Horn have an airport?

First, the “Memorandum Of Understanding” (MOU) isn’t even on the same level as a Treaty, which Constitutionally requires Congressional approval. The MOU is basically Trump…[Read more]

Spine tingling crowd fury. Inarguable.

Algorithms amplify this because they manufacture the sensation of being in a crowd? Makes sense. And it seems to increase the intransigence of the tribal thinking. 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]

Enco,

I am not sure how great a departure it is chatting with lefties (progressives, wokes or whatever ya call em!) compared to cultists or fundamentalists in regards to their “scripture.” Literally the most asinine take that this lady had committed heinous sexual harassment was not to be questioned. When i countered the ridiculous contention…[Read more]
