Should social services just remove children from religious extremist parents or from any other cult members?

These two stories need to be shown prominently to everyone who’s in a snit over the world’s decreasing fertility rates.

How about making the world a place worth bringing children into?

How about making a world so great no one…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Here below is a collection of scenes from a movie I saw on the Universal Monsters streaming channel, not my usual viewing of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

The scenes are from Dracula’s Daughter, the 1936 sequel to the original 1931 Dracula starring Bela Lugosi as the title role.

Oh I forgot: Mark Levin actually granted Trump the honor of being The First Jewish President. Thankfully, no word about Bar Mitzvahs< or bris ceremonies.

So the racist, Antisemitic Christian Nationalists have yet another reason to flip out.

And Mark Levin is not only shouting at clouds, but shouting at McDonald’s and KFC fart…[Read more]

Reg:

Christian racists and conspiracy driven fascists will gather in Texas to plan how to seize power in the name of their imaginary god.

I wonder how they are going to react to the revelation of The First Bisexual President* and his desire to “swirl it up,” as the kids say, with Nikki Minaj?

* (The honor of The…[Read more]

“I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that.” To give AI rights is the most frightening idea I’ve ever heard. It’s already sociopathic, or psychopathic, in that it has no morality whatsoever, it’s entirely instrumental, although so far, morally neutral in every way.

Great description of the present ownership and wanna-be owners of AI.😁

Jake:

Einat and her peers in Israel are not going to gratuitously call out or alienate an ally like Trump. Well a sometimes ally. And they still need USA to help end the threat of ballistic weapons/nucs and the IRGC.

So it’s “Trump uses Israel and she uses Trump and neither one cares”* …only it’s the Mullahs, the IRGC, and their terrorist…[Read more]

Medical breakthroughs are fantastic. Too bad countries were not devoting their military expenditures to science and medicine. Competition might be based on pride in delivering the goods instead of weapons and defense to those weapons. But hey….we are human…

We’ll always need some arms. As Thomas Paine observed, Invaders and plunders are…[Read more]

Their real infirmity is not their eyeware (which I have too) but what they uncritically read and parrot.

In nine more days, the U.S. will get to exercise the same elective franchise that every CRINK nation has, and probably with as much consequence.

Only a “None of The Above” or a “Make Everybody Lose” option would make a difference.

Not quite what she is proposing. It’s a de-Palestinianism project. If Hamas disappears it is gonna be replaced with the next Jew hating ideology insistent on eliminating the Jewish state. (She is proposing a lot more than that.)

Well, Palestinianism doesn’t Palestine itself. It requires human agents to implement. Today Palestinianism i…[Read more]

Although late to a game that people like the Late Sen, William Proxmire (D-Wisconsin), John Stossel, and The Cato Institute have been at for years, it is good to see The New York Times publish stories on this corruption and exorbitant waste! Let’s hope they continue whenever MAGA is dislodged from the body politic.

Jake:

What it seems like Einat Wilf is proposing is a De-Hamas-ification program while the Gaza-Israeli War is still in progress. Much like De-Nazification done in Germany after World War II.

But the operative term for De-Nazification was after. The U.S. didn’t do De-Nazification until The Wickedly Great One took his Lead losenge in the bunker…[Read more]

Jake:

All that can be done to counter the influence of Hamas without needlessly putting Israeli troops in the middle of two lines of fire. Israel could make a similar appeal to Gazans that they can make to Haredis: War is over, the fruit of Enlightenment is here…if you want it!

Smart people can be deluded. If Eniat Wilf is aware without…[Read more]
