Innocents, of course, are fair game in war

So says every war lord who perpetrates pointless horrific war crimes. If terrorising civilians goes to achieve your aim, then so is justifiable China’s crimes against the Uighurs, the Myanmar campaign against the Rohingya, British soldiers randomly shooting N. Ireland Catholics who gave them a funny look…[Read more]

Guess who is siding with the Palestinians?

Are you pointing to the guest in the interview, just one person?

Do you agree with him that reports of beheaded babies were fabricated?

Even if the reports of beheading are true, he made a good point imo that destroying buildings in Gaza has the same effect on babies, children, moms, and…[Read more]

It’s like a Brussels sprout morphing into a head of cabbage, isn’t it?

LOL wow, I feel that now too! And I’ll bet the band would get that, and laugh. 🙂

I thought Rick Beato had been ignoring The Warning but I was wrong. Back on May 12 he interviewed The Warning with David Bendeth* on David’s channel.

I mentioned that interview a while ago, and is why I mentioned Bendeth’s involvement and that Beato’s not ignoring them. But I didn’t post it because it’s so long and the interview w…[Read more]

Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims are setting aside their ancient quarrel over who will run the Caliphate conn (or con) after Muhammad died and they’re uniting against “The Zionist Entity” Israel and supporting Hamas murderers!

So don’t be surprised if/when Israel kills ten times as many human beings as Hamas has. The motiv…[Read more]

Does an octopus (or would one at our degree of intelligence) speculate about what’s out there beyond the surface of the water.

The do sometimes explore the shore. Especially in tidepool areas.

Yikes, this topic will be challenging, trying to stay short and concise. As I often do, I’ll try to zoom out for wider perspective.

Autumn pretty much sums it up. Switzerland has a very high number of guns (partly due to high level of reservist soldiers). And yet with their VERY reasonable controls:

• background checks
• mandatory training
• gun safes
• potential inspections
• periodic target practice
• mental health checks
• licensing

Avoidable gun related casualties are…[Read more]

I hope you told them to go and ‘Have a blessed day’. That’s what I say in Georgia 🙂

I’ve thought of that, but it wouldn’t feel sincere.

Maybe something like “I believe in the Church of FSM. But we don’t try to convert non-believers, so you need to look it up on the internets, and decide for yourself.”.

Or you know,…[Read more]

I have a couple of nits to pick, y’all can tell me whether or not they’re relevant.

Gun control advocates are hardly freaks. To support regulating extremely dangerous weapons is not freakish. It is utterly reasonable. I have lived in numerous countries where there are controls on guns. Surprise surprise, the number of accidents, avoidable last-minute suicides and gun homicides are extremely low. Keep in mind that all other forms…[Read more]

Well yeah, the same guy that’s in your topic’s title.

Here’s a potentially relevant story. My first thought was Clinton wants to see someone other than Biden running.

The “Clinton Breaks With Democrat Party” headline got my attention. As an aside, I can’t even tell who chose that headline, msn, msnbc, American Insider, or New York Post. (Doesn’t…[Read more]

Oh wow, nice! I’ll pay more attention now to who honors that, especially anyone close to them. Their mother has been involved with the group, e.g. helping to get their words and grammar right in their Spanish songs. I heard one of them, Dany?, say they feel they know English better than Spanish, although outsiders presume that Spanish is their prim…[Read more]

Readers Poll 2023: Paulina “Pau” Villarreal Vélez Wins “Up And Coming”

Nice photo of her. Short article in Modern Drummer. I looked it up after hearing they interviewed her for a podcast episode, but it’s yet not been posted as I write this. (I’ve never seen “Vélez” in the name before.)

He sure looks a lot older than Trump, or any other potential GOP candidate.

The story that won’t die continues… The Hunt for the Nord Stream Bombers

I enjoyed reading that article, as it presented several possible scenarios, including my contention (left unanswered) that it wouldn’t take nation-state level technology and equipment to plant the bombs. Note that I didn’t say it wasn’t a nation-state that was…[Read more]
