The trouble with believing anything and nothing at the same time.

The problem with this article is that it treats science like a belief on a par with religion or even on a par with: “I believe I’ll have another drink.”

Science is not a belief. Science is the only game in town to understand and get around town when “town” is the Natural…[Read more]

PopeBesnie,

Wait, the cows keep from exploding by farting. Also, if burning the methane gas releases Carbon Dioxide and water, how does that reduce Global Warming, which is supposed to be from human-generated Carbon Dioxide.

This sounds like a AI solution in search of a problem, not to mention cruel to the cow if the cow is not anesthetized.

AI is unlocking new treatments for diseases once thought to be incurable

AI could do countless wonders for healhspan and lifespan, if only humans didn’t use it for stupid slop like this:

In light of him losing support in USA, I wonder if he’s thought about inviting Xi, Vlad, and other authoritarians to the most exclusive kinds of golf events. He should have enough money to buy an island or two. Maybe Epstein’s.

Mark Twain described golf as “a good walk spoiled.”. Only Trump and Friends cold turn a good walk spo…[Read more]

I notice something when I started watching a Tucker Carlson video interviewing the Pope/Grand Inquisitor Hopeful Carrie Prejean Boller: A couple of the ads that popped up were actually full-length videos from the Hoover Institute’s “GoodFellas” Podcast and “The Ben Shapiro Show”, and a Stand Together Video, all espousers of…[Read more]

Get your rest and we’ll discuss this more later.

Another case in point against Trump heading up this War. You know he’s bad off when his own State Media points out how much he sucks:

Trump says it’s an ‘honor’ to keep Strait of Hormuz open for China and other countries
President vows anything that prevents the flow of oil will be hit by US ‘twenty times harde…[Read more]

Pope:

The other mistake in my thinking was not considering how horribly, incompetently executed it could be with Our Man Trump in charge. Sure, the military is very competent, but not the guy who runs everything like it’s on his personal stage where he can win anything, no matter the odds.

There is no contradiction in saying these two t…[Read more]

Yes these mofo have gotten a pass and in so doing posited their inherent superiority over ordinary Israelis. It is sickening. Tiny country and tiny population being opposed by larger nations and massive manpower so Uncle Solomon needs you! Conscription really is a necessity i think.

Making people do shit, whether it’s fighting or “public…[Read more]

Simon,

That video is from a UK “right wing dingbat” channel like Fox News: it’s an outrage machine.

GBNews judging from some of it’s contributors may be an outrage machine, but The Mullahs in Iran would generate a tempest in Russell’s Teapot from all the way on the other side of the Sun. Everything said on that video was correct. I learn…[Read more]

Jake:

Other thoughts on Israel’s Ultra Orthodoxers: In the U.S., this would be like The He-Man Woman-Haters Club insisting to the Military that they have their own designated base.

While private individuals can do this in civilian life with their own funds and tree-houses, this has no place in…[Read more]

Jake:

In the context of the present war, the Orthodox “pimple” could turn into an infectious boil that could get people killed. Sound like Israel needs some charcoal strips to treat that!

And Iran is still around, just transforming.

Jake:

Until Islam has no say in things and there are grown-ups in the room, there can be no candy for the Saudi and Gulf States.

How many licks will it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of that Tootsie Pop? We’re finding out now with Iran, but unfortunately, Messers Cow, Fox, Turtle, and Owl combined have more intellect and tenacity than…[Read more]

Jake:

While I wouldn’t get in the way of Sunni regimes when they make a mistake, It would be setting us up to be bested by Al-Qaeda and ISIS to consider these Sunni regimes to be allies. That has already happened with Syria.

Defeating Islamofascism means defeating both the Sunni and Shia flavors. Holding off on one sect should not translate…[Read more]

I found the MST3K host segment about Microwave Faith Popcorn. You can fast forward to 5:04 to see it:

Have we witnessed any politician as mercurial or unreliable in his utterances? It is just unreal how he switches this way and that and then the interpretations which at this point how do ya put any stock in anything he says?

Trump doesn’t know when to turn it on and off. Doing it with a foreign enemy is understandable, but playing Star…[Read more]

Once again, Trump goes TACO and half-asses around with the World’s worst rulers:

I was also mistaken about Russia’s role in the conflict. While Putin didn’t send arms or troops, being tied up in Ukraine, he did give the Mullahs vital intelligence to target U.S. Forces, and…[Read more]

One thing that is no longer unknown is that this Professor is a Tiananmen Square Tankie:

There also other unknowns–both known and unknown–that make all this unpredictable for everybody in this scenario.

Everyone’s focusing rightly on the refined Uranium the Mullahs had, but they could also use other radioactive Elements to make conventional-fired “dirty bombs” that would contaminate vast areas and cause widespread…[Read more]
