There are too many bad things going on in the world.

What puzzles me most is the silence from the Muslim world. The Taliban, that spews hate against the West for its “attack” on Islam has nothing to say about a full out assault by China. Radicals blew up a cafe in Denmark. ..this is a country that hasn’t participated in war in Musli…

Where are all the defenders of religious freedom you normally hear from in the US and to a much lesser extent in Germany/UK/Netherlands.

They need a  Dalai Lama type leader…he is pretty good at energizing celebrities.  Did you know that celebrities decide the causes I need to care about? This is why Bill Maher wants Oprah to run for p…[Read more]

Reporter: When you claimed the sky was green…

Trump: Yeah the sky is green.

Reporter: What do you mean?

Trump: It’s green. Look up…its green.

Reporter: The sky is sometimes grey or even red at dawn but its definitely blue right now.

Trump: Its’ green.

Reporter: I’ve never seen the sky green. Is this a new thing?

Trump: It’s always…[Read more]

the easiest way to make a big splash?

There may be a little truth to that. But honestly…if a terrorist bomb went off in China (anywhere) and most especially in XingXiang it would create a global media storm. Europe has a terrorist bomb or a public car trampling frequently. There are lots of enormous cities in China with zero history of civil…[Read more]

They have no reason to attack Spain except for the irrational fear that they are a threat to Islam.

Could it sometimes be just a matter of finding the easiest way to make a big splash? “Hey World, look at what we can do for the glory of Allah!”. Along with “Hey fellow Muslims, join us in this divine quest!”.

general sense that their sphere of the world was an abstract threat to Islam

Perhaps as they consume extreme Islamic hate media they simply grow to detest the liberalism that surrounds them. They are full of shit, like the WTC hijacker-murderers who visited strip clubs before their big jihad day. They enjoy the freedoms of the West and then feel…[Read more]

Strong Western influence and military in their home turf…

Belgium has no military presence in Syria/Iraq/Jordan/Palestine. Nor does Denmark. It’s hard for me to understand why you’d blow up a café in  Copenhagen or blow up a metro train in Brussels (where a third of the population is muslim) unless it was for a general sense that their sphere o…[Read more]

China has no military presence in most of the Middle East or Central Asia.

That could be part of the answer. Strong Western influence and military in their home turf is one reasons they publicly justify jihad, and can motivate jihadism with a visibly present enemy. It’s also easier for goverments in Muslim countries to point to the…[Read more]

No previous president has ever had the imagination to require us to do that, so Trump is furthering our educations.

Tom, I second the positivitism!

Do you see “victim’s fault” in there anywhere, PB?

Nope!

And I genuinely appreciate this very relevant discussion.

Go Tom, BE BEST !

If you thought Scott Pruitt was bad, wait until Andrew Wheeler really gets going.

This is a tragic comedy now, where people who say government is corrupt and damaging get elected, and then make it more corrupt and damaging, often by premeditated intent.

One major reason for discriminating against women, especially in businesses too small to be subject to fairness in hiring laws is a result of #MeToo.

This sounds too much (to me) like framing the issue as if it’s the victim’s fault. Like, “How were you dressed when you got raped?”. Or it refocuses the issue a…

I still say people like that should be out fighting the wildfires, floods, etc., rather than sit back in their air conditioned offices watching it all…….when they have the bloody time!

The Whitehouse is an environmental train wreck. Just when we had a chance to turn it around. Coal. Really? Only when the climate fiasco starts hitting the wallets of the fat cats…will we see real change. When multi-million dollar homes become totally uninsurable and are regularly washed away into the sea. There will be untold suffering around…[Read more]
