Jake,

The Beaver is not Kosher and thus has no reason to fear Jews. As June asked Ward: Don’t you think you’re being a bit hard on The Beaver?

Reg,

Sumaghiyyeh sounds soothing and sumptuous…but a Secular Ramadan? How is that possible?

Ramadan celebrates the 40-day game of “Telephone Tree” between Allah, The Archangel Jibril, and illiterate, cave-blinded Muhammad. How can that be Secular?

Are your hosts just in it for the food?

(This also inspires a question to Stump The Imam if…[Read more]

Unseen,

There have been many opportunities to address the very real and universal problem of police brutality. We could have abolished asset forfeiture, we could have ended “The War On (Some) Drugs,” as well as ended “Victimless Crime” laws, we could have instituted Civilian Review Boards and held officers to their Constitutional Oaths and…[Read more]

Unseen,

Did any of this talk about Israeli torture include links to the tortures committed by Hamas on October 7th, not to mention standard operating procedure in all of Israel’s neighbors?

After October 7th, a lot of the #MeToo and #BelieveAllWomen crowd suddenly switched hashtags to #IsraelWoreTheSkirtTooTight.

Unseen,

Kyle’s video evidently triggered YouTube curators to make it “Age-Restricted” Before I could watch it.

Anyway, psychos attracted to positions with badges is pretty much a universal phenomenon if this is what is portrayed. It is a problem not unique to any nation and in and of itself, does not mean genocide.

Truth in advertising would…[Read more]

Simon and Unseen,

And, of course, as The Hitch points out, people can do great things for others without Christianity or any other religion.

Jake,

I’m from North Carolina. We have our own batch of zany religious hatemongers.

The most notable, The Rev. Billy Graham, now has his own non-Gold Golden Calf-esque statue in Washington, DC:

Jake,

I’m not a Floridian (I believe that is Robert who is Floridian), but I do know from obsidian.

It’s a volcanic rock that is very sharp when broken and is still used to this day to make surgical blades.

In a class on primitive skills, when flintknapping obsidian into arrowheads or blades, we were required to wear long sleeves, leather…[Read more]

Unseen,

If history decides that the American student protests are on the wrong side of history, it will be the first time. They were right about civil rights in the 60’s and about the war in Vietnam. They tend to have a keener perception of what’s right than their elders, when they become a mass movement.

Age and numbers have nothing to do wit…[Read more]

Unseen, the announcement you posted occured in time before the video I posted of the reporter contradicting the speaker.

Also, the statistics on the deaths came from two contradictory sources, the Hamas Government Media Office that reported more deaths, and the Hamas Ministry of Health who reported less.

And the Ministry of Health based it’s…[Read more]

Jake,

The jist of what you’ve said in the last two posts is absolutely correct…with exception to the causation of the mess we encounter in Iran and U.S. Academia.

You wrote (again, Bullwinkle):

(Too bad the free marketplace of ideas was not the least bit efficient)

I keep telling you, through clenched teeth and increasingly ruined dental…[Read more]

Unseen,

Again, while all civilian deaths in war are horrible, you may want to reconsider the numbers of Gaza’s dead being thrown around. Even the United Nations had to concede the the number of child deaths were half what were previously given by UNICEF in March (fast forward to…[Read more]

Unseen,

When it comes to Israel, “I hate the sin, not the sinner.” I don’t blame Israel for existing but rather for their behavior toward the Palestinians. I don’t love Hamas, but I do understand the causality behind its existence. I’m a peace-loving person.

Lolwut? I expect as much from hypocritical Christians trying to justify their horrible…[Read more]

Unseen,

How long has this order to kill been public? The only mentions of it I’ve been able to find are considerably less than a week old, like 2,3, or 4 days. Also, 34,000 at least already killed in Gaza. Has even one person been killed in this instance? How many dead so far?

Doesn’t matter. What the Saudis are doing is either genocide if d…[Read more]

Reg,

Water is fortunately not a zero-G compound and as Amateur Hydrologist David Byrne observed: “There is water at the bottom of the ocean.”

The trick for the Saudis is to either transport water from the ocean or get it from the clouds by seeding them with dry ice and then make the attained water both sterile and potable. Oh, and there is…[Read more]

Unseen,

Someone didn’t give these punks the memo that the criticism is not meant against (((the Jews))):

It’s just too damn bad that New York doesn’t recognize the right to keep and bear arms, either open or concealed. These punks would then stay two arms length away from others if they valued…[Read more]

Unseen,

Is there an argument in there somewhere?

Nope. Just a statement of fact about all the Israel-haters and the Hamas they love.

Bernie and his Orthodox and Peacenik Jewish friends would all make great little Dhimmi puppy dogs for their Islamist masters as long as they pay their Jizyat (Head-Tax) and as long as Hamas doesn’t get a yen to…[Read more]
