Fellow Unbelievers:

Lest anyone forget, it was the Israelis, not the Orange Man, who killed Khamenei and his key enforcers. This could have happened sooner if Trump hadn’t restrained Israel during the 12 Day war. While this also regrettably included members of Khamenei’s family, Khamenei was the one who dragged them along for the crazy train…[Read more]

The following is almost 15 minutes long, but imo is at least worth a skim. (Check out the lightning in the beginning.)

(Am I on a confirmation bias binge right now!?) 10-1/2 minutes long:

Nice summary. I should admit now, I’m a fan of Jasmine, although I see her now becoming more adept at flashing political cliche’s during her campaign. But the GOP is still ten times more “intentionally naive” about ignoring their King’s openly naked lies and other transgressions.

It will take…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

I too am hoping that this works out for the freedom of the Iranian people and an end to the Islamist tyranny ruling Iran. I am hoping it happens despite the demented senility of Trump and his administration.

Speaking of terrorism, one of the first things Kash Patel should have been doing before the attack is preparing to surveil…[Read more]

It looks to me like what’s left of Iranian “leadership” is in suicide mode, whether intentionally acting self-destructively or not. IMO the lower echelons seem to be in some kind automatic (aka “brain dead”) response mode, repeatedly shooting themselves in their feet.

They managed to get other countries involved that said outright that they were…[Read more]

Fun Fact when debating with theists:

Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the only woman named in the Qur’an and has a chapter named after her as she is considered one of the greatest women in Islam. Mary is mentioned in the Qur’an more often than Mary is mentioned in the New Testament.

In the Qur’an the name “Jesus” is mentioned more often than the…[Read more]

Podcast: Trump’s War with Iran.

Sooo, Frank…How ’bout that End of History and The Last Man? Didn’t account for deranged Ayatollahs and equally deranged Populists, huh? You got a copy? I need a door stop.

Five persistent “Zombie Facts” that should be allowed to finally die.

Uh, ackshuyally, things that aren’t true are not facts. Calling them “facts,” let alone “zombie facts,” simply assures that they literally won’t die.

And the examples given are really weak. If a Toothpick Fish is the size of a thumbnail, it’s not getting even near a u…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!!

Have a great week!

So thuggery is part of the training. There must be official, authoritarian playbooks out there, right? About 2 minutes long:

Jake:

I strive for ends and means that are consistent. If the goal is getting Trump out of office, Amendments 22 and 25 are the way to go.

As for Nazism and Communism, they were more symbiotic than most suppose. They and their predecessors both shared the same Totalitarian hatred of Classical Liberalism and Capitalism. The Socal Democrats also…[Read more]

1 minute long:

Hegseth is pissed off that Anthropic has refused to hand over ChatGPT technology to the Pentagon. A bit over 1 minute:

What could possibly go wrong with trusting Pete with it, right?

[Moderator note: I changed the name of this topic from “ChatGPT 2022/2023” to “ChatGPT 2022 to ?”]

Enco it occurs to me you are a purist.

You will form principles and are forever beholden no matter the outcome of doing so.

Did you know that the Nazis could have been defeated if the communist party and the social democratic party had formed a coalition. But their antipathy for one another was greater than their fear of Nazism. Purity in…[Read more]

Jake:

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things does not belong.

Between this:

Go to Federal Court now and get a declaratory judgment regarding the two terms amendment. Once the court affirms the plain meaning broadcast that declaratory judgment and announce to America that this is America and not even Trump is above the…

“There is a paradox. Dictators will always lie about what they have done but very often they will tell you exactly what they will do. So you better believe them.”

Kasparov whose predictions on Putin and Ukraine panned out and thinks the future of US is tied to the midterms. Timely listen.

But there is no constitutional provision that allows a president to suspend the Constitution or cancel elections indefinitely.

I’m not claiming he or his gang can do either of these.

I recommend hearing what Marc Elias has to say. He and his law firm have taken state cases to SCOTUS and made other appeals (if that’s…[Read more]
