Gallup's Mirror

Unseen, I’ve liked the Midas Touch guy (and the other guy who’s often with him), but this is the first “panic mode” performance from him I’ve seen. And he’s the one saying others are in panic mode. Shit, practically everyone is in panic mode now, I think even you?

I’m not mocking you, I feel for you. My point, since so many are in panic mode and…[Read more]

Israel may not be satisfied with negotiating yet. I think they want a decisive end to that Iranian regime.

I can’t see any other viable option for Israel. If the Iranian regime is not ended, it will grow another ugly head and just start to refinance and restock Hamas and Hezbollah, both of whom are terrorist branches of Iran.

“What is it like to be a pistachio tree on the outskirts of Tehran?”

Nervous, they don’t like being shelled.

Yes, noticeable by its absence but I decided not to mention anything about the nation whose supreme leader of the religion of peace said, “We will support and assist any nation or any group anywhere who opposes and fights the Zionist regime, and we do not hesitate to say this,” (Khamenei’s official English-language Twitter account).

Israel is dragging us into a potential WW3.

You mentioned not provoking Putin into nuclear attack once, is that what you’re thinking?

Wow, no, I’m tapping out now. I think we must just have wildly different opinions of what “the left” is, and how monolithic it is. My opinion is not cut in stone, I’m learning from the ex-Muslim women you’ve turned us on to, and I want more.

Although I did want t…[Read more]

My conversations with the rabbi are pleasant. It probably helps that he’s an atheist. But the Baptist minister I worked with for a while had a couple issues with me, taking me to a Calvary headquarters once (in Florida), introducing me a superior of his, noting “He likes to think”, and the superior said “Ah, I see”. Once he called me Satan across…[Read more]

If you want to hear varied accounts first hand listen to the Yasmine Mohammed podcast. Here is the most recent episode.

4/3 of an hour… was well worth the listen. Funny at times, too. Tragedy and comedy being on opposite sides of the same coin.

I call myself “lefty”, but keep hearing this meme/theme about how “The Left” is so…[Read more]

Thanks Strega, Unseen gave me the idea and this eternal waiting for a remote server to reboot allowed me the time……and there it is as I pen these words….back as a mirror image of itself from 90 minutes ago….its present state identical to its past…….and me with a little less gray matter and a lot more gray hair…….:-)
