Huh, I didn’t catch that, so I must have misunderstood what he misspoke, double negative causing me to get his intention correctly. (The promo video’s just an outtake from the main video, and I watched both, so it would be two double negatives that still worked out, even as a dual set of misunderstandings of mis…

PopeBeanie:

I think in the promo video, the Legal AF speaker misspoke.

He said that the Judge stopped vaccines for Menningitis, COVID, Rotovirus, among others, and Hep A and Hep B, when in fact, the Judge stopped RFK Jr. And the ACIP who stopped recommending the vaccines.

Yet another period of putting Medicine in the the hands of lawyers.

Jake:

I acknowledge your affirmation. And I equally say that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. So, whenever and if ever you find the proof of another author for the quote attributed to JFK, I will say I was mistaken about the author. Until then, I’ll just say whoever said the quote was wrong.

The Israelis manage to be…

Even if “the wisdom of the wise and the experience of ages may be preserved by quotation.” Issac D’Israeli….who also wrote that:

“The literary treasures of antiquity have suffered from the malice of Men as well as that of Time. It is remarkable that conquerors, in the moment of victory, or in the unsparing devastation of their rage, h…

You were saying earlier, in a state of sleep deprivation:

Under ordinary circumstances i agree conscription is a prescription for loss of freedom. Really it is fucking risky and no fun if your heart is not in it.

Israel, however, requires it and it is existential. It doesn’t end. Not yet. Constantly under siege. And being under siege h…

“what the country has done for each of us, and… what we can do for the country”….source

And….citizens should be “less concerned about what the government can do… and more… what it can do for the nation”…..Warren G. Harding.

Alas, this doesn’t give the Eighteenth Century origin of the quote, it just shows how pernicious it’s influence is.

Jake:

Now that you’ve got your rest, I can address quotes and our previous topic.

Good walk spoiled? Thought it was Harvey Penick. Wa’nt. Wa’nt Twain either. Mark that and fathom that. John Feinstein wrote a book of that title but wa’nt his quote not by a mile. Hittin a ball. Hittin it foul. Hittin it long and straight wipes off that scowl…

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.

Reg and Fellow Unbelievers:

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]

Fellow Unbelievers:

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.

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]

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]

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.
