Gallup's Mirror

Old news, but new episode. Republicans in power in Georgia helping Trump/DOJ interfere with their midterm election. Interference began innocently enough back before the 2016 election, when Trump claimed that elections are rigged. This was when he wasn’t expected to win, and then he won.

But he kept “rigged elections” as a theme, created several…[Read more]

Quoting him to lefties is like quoting Trump. If it is Trump reaffirms he is a very stable genius… not exactly an affirmation with lefties or anyone in their right mind for that matter. 

No argument with that Jake.

The BBC (yes!) has posted: Netanyahu says Flydubai attacker had ‘Islamist radical indoctrination’.

I would like to quibble…I might be wrong so won’t swear on the holey bibble….but would a 100% analogy not be an ‘identity’? A tautology is a statement true by its logical form. An analogy that matched in every respect would simply describe the same thing twice?

I would consider the series in the same league as ‘Breaking Bad’ or ‘Homeland’. I was surprised to read it is No 1 on Netflix in Lebanon.

I am quite skeptical that many will do a 180 after seeing Fauda on their Jew hating viewpoint/Palestinianism…

I have been interacting with ‘Hamas’ supporters for over 20 years. I will aver that in that time the have become ‘stupider more’. They are now so uninformed (or maybe ‘ill-informed’ is a better term) that they are a different species to…[Read more]

I also thought the casting of Melanie Laurent was clever, given her role in ‘Inglorious Basterds’.

Yes, just finished Fauda S5 this evening. All 5 seasons are worth watching. I will watch it again for E7 and E8. I was guessing it would go there but I was still surprised. I will leave my comments at that for now.

A non-confrontational approach is the only way. Some pointers….
